The morphological parameters of the maternal trees growth, seed progeny and seedlings, and the value of the fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of the leaves of adult plants under urban influence were estimated. Urban oak groves have a low growth rate of shoots. Rural and suburban oak groves are characterized by an increase in the shoot. The coefficients of variation (Cv) in the length and width of leaf blades are generally low; only for 1 territory near urban radius and experiencing the influence of industrial enterprises, the Cv of the length of the leaf blade is 29.3% and the width of the leaf blade - 30.4%. FA for all oak forests, with the exception of Chizhovskoe tract (0.056), not exceed 0.04, thus, they are resistant to the anthropogenic factor. The average growth of seedlings is 13-14 cm. The coefficient of variation for shoot length for most groups of seedlings exceeds 30%. The suburban seedlings have the largest shoot thickness and exceed 0.3 cm. Among urban seedlings, the oak population in the most distant from the city (middle circle), is close to this indicator. The areas of the lowest emission load of pollutants coincide with the forest areas of the city.

Carthamus tinctorius L. (safflower) is a drought-tolerant plant that has been cultivated for its oil, carthamin pigment, and edible parts. Seed production by safflower is related to its pollination success. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Apis mellifera L. (honey bee) and Bombus terrestris L. (bumble bee) pollination on safflower seed quality. Experiments with five treatments were prepared, four of which consisted of cages with either honey bees, bumble bees, or honey bees and bumble bees together in them, or without any insects, plus one open-pollinated plot treatment. To determine seed quality in the different treatments, the total seed yield, 1000 grain weight of seeds, number of seeds per capitulum, total oil content, fatty acid composition, and total oil yield in each treatment was determined. Total seed and oil yield was increased with bee pollination, whereas no significant difference was found in the total oil content and 1000 grain weight of seeds among treatments. Significant differences were observed among treatments in their seeds’ fatty acid compositions, specifically in their content of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. As a result, it was found that pollination by bees can positively affect the seed characteristics of safflower, while also increasing the total seed yield. We thus recommend using commercial bees in the cultivation of safflower.

The article explains that in order to secure the mobile sands (MSa) and (MSo) soil, it is necessary to individually study their compositions and properties, as well as the possibility of their regulation through the use of effective chemical reagents and industrial waste. The study of the thickness of the crusts formed in mobile soils and sands shows that their thickness is one of the important characteristics in determining their mechanical strength and water resistance. It was revealed that structure formation in the crusts is a complex mechanochemical process for the regulation of which it is advisable to use experimentally selected compositions of fixing agents, taking into account their physicochemical properties.

Modernization has brought the world technological advancements, but it has also brought with it a slew of problems. In today's Malaysia, air and noise pollution are becoming more of a concern, along with a rise in occupational disease. A monitoring system is needed to address these issues. This paper describes the development of a real-time IoT-based air and noise pollution monitoring system that can provide monitoring and alert the user to the pollution levels. This monitoring system was built using IoT technology, which included the use of an ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module NodeMCU as a microcontroller to communicate with the chosen IoT analytics platform, ThingSpeak. A gas sensor MQ9 was used to measure carbon monoxide concentrations, and a sound sensor LM393 was used to measure noise levels in the surrounding area. The measured values were displayed on the Arduino software's serial monitor, then sent to the ThingSpeak server and graphically displayed in real time on a screen. The results of the electronic sensors were compared to the results of the stand-alone carbon monoxide meter and digital sound level meter for validation. The proposed monitoring system produced promising results, with 91.12 % and 97.86 % accuracy for gas and sound levels shown by the gas sensor MQ9 and sound sensor LM393, respectively. The framework also provides ThingSpeak server warning messages. When the calculated conditions exceeded the user's defined cap, the server sent the user an email update with the gas and noise limit status. This has made the system more useful and convenient.

As of 2020, the total area planted with crops in India overtook 125.78 million hectares. India is the second biggest organic product maker in the world. Thus, an Indian economy greatly depends on farming products. Nowadays, farmers suffer a drop in production due to a lot of diseases and pests. Thus, to overcome this problem, this article presents the artificial intelligence based deep learning approach for plant disease classification. Initially, the adaptive mean bilateral filter (AMBF) for noise removal and enhancement operations. Then, Gaussian kernel fuzzy C-means (GKFCM) approach is used to segment the effected disease regions. The optimal features from color, texture and shape features are extracted by using GLCM. Finally, Deep learning convolutional neural network (DLCNN) is used for the classification of five class diseases. The segmentation and classification performance of proposed method outperforms as compared with the state of art approaches.

This paper presents a prototype of Water Surface Mobile Garbage Collector Robot built in motivation to educate the people to love and monitor the health of our rivers by collecting the trash themselves using mobile robot. The garbage collector is designed aimed for the cleaning of small-scale lakes, narrow rivers, and drains in Malaysia. The navigation of the robot is controlled using wireless Bluetooth communication from a smartphone application. The performance of the water garbage collector in terms of manoeuvring control efficiency and garbage collection load capacity was tested and evaluated. Based on the experimental results from a swimming pool, it can operate within a 4-metre range and collect 192 grams of small to medium sized recyclable garbage such as food packages, water bottles, and plastics in 10 seconds. It managed to float and navigate on the Panchor River within Bluetooth network range. A strong, lightweight and waterproof material is recommended for use for this water garbage collector. A proximity sensor or image processing technique for detecting garbage on the water surface may be studied and included in the future to enable a fully autonomous manoeuvring control system.

In an experiment in low-mountain conditions, the features of changes in the structure of bone tissue in the zone of a gunshot fracture of the shank diaphysis were studied. It was revealed that when using the compression-distraction method according to G.A. Ilizarov, a pronounced angiogenic effect is observed, an improvement in reparative processes. The results obtained confirm the need to use the method of extrafocal compression-distraction osteosynthesis to accelerate the healing of gunshot fractures of tubular bones.

Aim: The aim of this study is to check the potability of pond water and RO water. This is carried out by comparing the Electrical Conductivity (EC) and turbidity of two different sources of water. Materials and methods: Twenty number of samples from a local pond and potable water sources were tested for turbidity and electrical conductivity using turbidity meter and conductivity meter, respectively. Results and Discussion: On performing an independent samples t-test on the two groups considered, it is observed that there exists a significant difference between the turbidity and the EC (p <0.05). Turbidity was higher in pond water (21.20 ± 2.51) than that of RO water (6.55 ± 0.33). The concentration of EC is also higher for pond water (1.67 ± 0.35) than that of RO water (0.15 ± 0.33). Conclusion: This study shows that the pond water is not potable when compared to RO water. The pond water requires treatment prior to domestic use in order to improve sustainability.

Clean water is a fundamental need for human. Whether it is used for recreational purposes, food production, domestic use and drinking, safe and readily available water is important for everyone. Water scarcity is very serious and is one of the most extensive problems affecting people throughout the world. In this study, the emphasis is to fabricate polysulfone-polyvinylpyrrolidone hybrid membrane with different polymer formulation to study the characteristics and morphology in determining the optimum formulation of polysulfone-polyvinylpyrrolidone hybrid membrane. In this study, polysulfone and polyvinylpyrrolidone were used as the polymers and 1-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone was used as the solvent. The optimum formulation is obtained by conducting the test on the membrane; permeate flux test, salt rejection test and tensile test. The resulted optimum polysulfone-polyvinylpyrrolidone hybrid membrane were undergone two more tests which were Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and wastewater quality test. These two tests were conducted to measure its ability to filter the wastewater and the pore size of membrane were captured. The optimum Membrane is sample4 which had the highest value of permeate flux with 33.78 L/m2hr, it had removal percentage of 11.76% for salt rejection, decreased 12.42% in conductivity from 3.3 S/m to 2.89 S/m, and it was able to withstand 48 kN/m2 at strain value of 3.6 m/m. The optimum sample 4 has formed a microfiltration membrane with average 3.23 μm pore size which is successfully filter out particles in the wastewater, where it could remove 44.27% turbidity, 23.08% TSS, 14.29% COD, 4.73% TDS, 4.79% conductivity, 4.34% pH and 13.04% colour.

The optimum Membrane is sample4 which had the highest value of permeate flux with 33.78 L/m2hr, it had removal percentage of 11.76% for salt rejection, decreased 12.42% in conductivity from 3.3 S/m to 2.89 S/m, and it was able to withstand 48 kN/m2 at strain value of 3.6 m/m. The optimum sample 4 has formed a microfiltration membrane with average 3.23 μm pore size which is successfully filter out particles in the wastewater, where it could remove 44.27% turbidity, 23.08% TSS, 14.29% COD, 4.73% TDS, 4.79% conductivity, 4.34% pH and 13.04% colour.","PeriodicalId":42396,"journal":{"name":"Alinteri Journal of Agriculture Sciences","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75290560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
