A 2.45GHz power harvesting circuit in 90nm CMOS
(2010)In this work, an overview of the state-of-the-art of the design techniques of power harvesting (rectifYing) circuits is presented. The evolution of each circuit, the advantages and design constraints, are investigated and ... -
CASTOR BEAN MECHANICAL HARVESTING: CROP TERMINATION AND COMPARISON BETWEEN CEREAL AND SUNFLOWER HEADERS’ PERFORMANCE INSTALLED ON A CONVENTIONAL COMBINE HARVESTER
(2022)Among the species currently cultivated for industrial vegetable oil production, castor bean (Ricinus communis, L.) could be a good candidate for future investments due to the good resistance to pests, tolerance to drought, ... -
Chemical composition and bioactive compounds of garlic (Allium sativum L.) as affected by pre- and post-harvest conditions: A review
(2016)Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is considered one of the twenty most important vegetables, with various uses throughout the world, either as a raw vegetable for culinary purposes, or as an ingredient of traditional and modern ... -
Chemical composition, nutritional value and antioxidant properties of Mediterranean okra genotypes in relation to harvest stage
(2018)The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of fruit size on nutritional value, chemical composition and antioxidant properties of Mediterranean okra genotypes. For this purpose, pods from four okra cultivars ... -
The effect of the daylight zone on lighting energy savings
(2020)Daylighting is the cornerstone of low energy building design. Therefore, the adoption of a daylight - harvesting lighting control system can substantially increase lighting energy savings. These are strongly depended on ... -
Exploiting pre- and post-harvest metabolism in sweet sorghum genotypes to promote sustainable bioenergy production
(2020)Sweet sorghum's high yielding ability, low-input demands and tolerance to stresses, render it highly suitable for syrup and bioenergy production. Exploiting its biomass, however is hampered by the seasonality of its ... -
Harvesting daylight with LED or T5 fluorescent lamps? The role of dimming
(2017)While the efficiency of the Lighting Emitting Diodes (LED) is increasing and new installations are being implemented, their control due to the adoption of daylight harvesting systems, hasn't been sufficiently examined yet, ... -
Improving application availability in wireless sensor networks with energy-harvesting capability
(2012)We assume a wireless sensor and actuator network with nodes that can harvest energy from the environment, and an application deployed in this network, which is structured as a set of cooperating mobile components that can ... -
Minimizing energy consumption for artificial lighting in a typical classroom of a Hellenic public school aiming for near Zero Energy Building using LED DC luminaires and daylight harvesting systems
(2019)The energy consumption for the artificial lighting in school buildings is one of the main consumers of electricity. In Greece, there is a large number of school buildings with quite old lighting systems using luminaires ... -
MONITORING CASTOR BEANS MATURITY VIA REMOTE SENSING
(2022)Castor is a crop with an evergreen habit so artificial induced ripening is an essential precondition for mechanical harvesting of new dwarf annual hybrids. Plants water content impose a determinant effect both on preharvest ... -
New insights from the Biokenaf Project
(2013)This chapter summarizes the most important achievements of the European research project entitled "BIOKENAF-Biomass Production Chain and Growth Simulation Model for Kenaf" (www.cres.gr/biokenaf) that carried out for ... -
Phytoremediation potential of twelve wild plant species for toxic elements in a contaminated soil
(2021)Green remediation of soils highly contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be achieved using suitable plants. Such phytoremediation procedure often takes into consideration PTE concentrations in plants only, ... -
Reducing water shortage crisis through rainwater reuse: Lessons learned from ancient toward integrated technology
(2019)The quantity of freshwater available per person in the world has been proceeded to decrease due to a combination of factors, including population increase, water pollution, inadequate planning and management of transboundary ... -
Successive harvesting affects yield, chemical composition and antioxidant activity of Cichorium spinosum L.
(2017)In the present study, the effect of successive harvesting on yield, chemical composition and antioxidant activity of Cichorium spinosum plants was examined. C. spinosum plants were grown from seeds sown in seed trays ... -
Use of NDVI to predict yield variability in a commercial apple orchard
(2015)Apple orchards are a vital component of the economies of many countries worldwide. Producers are looking for ways to reduce production cost by reducing inputs. Apple yield prediction is one method which can help the farmers ...
