Computational fluid dynamics applications to improve crop production systems
(2013)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), numerical analysis and simulation tools of fluid flow processes have emerged from the development stage and become nowadays a robust design tool. It is widely used to study various ... -
Delineation of management zones in an apple orchard in Greece using a multivariate approach
(2013)Management zone (MZ) delineation is important for the application of Precision Agriculture because farm management decisions are based on it. Several factors were used for the MZ delineation including crop and soil ... -
Extension and evaluation of a model for automatic drainage solution management in tomato crops grown in semi-closed hydroponic systems
(2015)In the present paper, a model previously developed to simulate the course of Na+ accumulation in closed hydroponic systems as a function of plant water consumption was further extended so as to be operative also in semi-closed ... -
Farm machinery management information system
(2015)Management of farming operations is currently rapidly changing toward a systems perspective integrating the surroundings in terms of environmental impact, public entities and documentation of quality and growing conditions. ... -
Farm management information systems: Current situation and future perspectives
(2015)Farm Management Information Systems (FMIS) in agriculture have evolved from simple farm record-keeping into sophisticated and complex systems to support production management. The purpose of current FMIS is to meet the ... -
A five-point penetrometer with GPS for measuring soil compaction variability
(2013)Measuring soil compaction is a factor of interest to monitor soil fertility, which plays an important role in crop production cycle. Soil penetration resistance is the most commonly used method to measure soil compaction. ... -
A flow-shop problem formulation of biomass handling operations scheduling
(2013)Currently, the planning of the biomass collection operations is performed relying on the contractor's experience without the use of any dedicated planning tool. It is expected that more explicitly formulated planning tools ... -
A four nation survey of farm information management and advanced farming systems: A descriptive analysis of survey responses
(2011)The aim of this paper is to present the descriptive results of the survey responses that explore the perception of advanced information systems among four European countries: i.e. Denmark, Finland, Germany and Greece. The ... -
Numerical simulation of the airflow and temperature distribution in a tunnel greenhouse equipped with insect-proof screen in the openings
(2002)An analysis of the ventilation process in a tunnel greenhouse equipped with an insect-proof screen in the side openings was performed with the use of a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package (CFD2000(R)). ... -
SP-Dock: Protein-Protein Docking Using Shape and Physicochemical Complementarity
(2013)In this paper, a framework for protein-protein docking is proposed, which exploits both shape and physicochemical complementarity to generate improved docking predictions. Shape complementarity is achieved by matching local ... -
Statistical tree classification of aphids based on morphological characteristics
(1999)Individual aphids were classified to their clones and separated to their host groups using a novel non-parametric classification tree method. The classification of the individuals was based on morphometric variables measured ... -
Towards automated compliance checking based on a formal representation of agricultural production standards
(2011)Production standards in the form of legal regulations or quality assurance labels are playing an increasingly important role in farming. Each farm must therefore gather information on all standards which apply, which may ... -
Yield prediction in apples using Fuzzy Cognitive Map learning approach
(2013)This work investigates the yield modeling and prediction process in apples (cv. Red Chief) using the dynamic influence graph of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs). FCMs are ideal causal cognition tools for modeling and simulating ...
