Testing the Suitability of a Terrestrial 2D LiDAR Scanner for Canopy Characterization of Greenhouse Tomato Crops
(MDPI, 2016)
Canopy characterization is essential for pesticide dosage adjustment according to vegetation
volume and density. It is especially important for fresh exportable vegetables like greenhouse
tomatoes. These plants are thin ...
In-Field Estimation of Orange Number and Size by 3D Laser Scanning
(MDPI, 2019)
The estimation of fruit load of an orchard prior to harvest is useful for planning harvest logistics and trading decisions. The manual fruit counting and the determination of the harvesting capacity of the field results ...
Use of Nanomaterials in the Stabilization of Expansive Soils into a Road Real-Scale Application
(MDPI, 2020)
Stabilization is a traditional strategy used to improve soils with the main objective of ensuring that this base is compliant with the technical specifications required for the subsequent development of different ...
Complete Real-Scale Application of Recycled Aggregates in a Port Loading Platform in Huelva, Spain
(MDPI, 2020)
The application of recycled aggregates (RA) from construction and demolition waste and crushed concrete blocks is a very important challenge for the coming years from the environmental point of view, in order to reduce the ...
Design of a Soil Cutting Resistance Sensor for Application in Site-Specific Tillage
(MDPI, 2013)
One objective of precision agriculture is to provide accurate information about
soil and crop properties to optimize the management of agricultural inputs to meet
site-specific needs. This paper describes the development ...
Design of a New Sensor for Determination of the Effects of Tractor Field Usage in Southern Spain: Soil Sinkage and Alterations in the Cone Index and Dry Bulk Density
(MDPI, 2012)
Variations in sinkage and cone index are of crucial importance when planning
fieldwork, and for determining the trafficability of farm machinery. Many studies have
highlighted the link between higher values of these ...
Modelling Ephemeral Gully Erosion from Unpaved Urban Roads: Equifinality and Implications for Scenario Analysis
(MDPI, 2018)
Modelling gully erosion in urban areas is challenging due to difficulties with equifinality
and parameter identification, which complicates quantification of management impacts on runoff
and sediment production. We ...
Combined Effects of Non-Conforming Fly Ash and Recycled Masonry Aggregates on Mortar Properties
(MDPI, 2016)
This work evaluates the effects of using non-conforming fly ash (Nc-FA) generated in a
thermoelectric power plant as filler material for mortars made with natural sand (NA) and recycled
sand from masonry waste (FRMA). ...
Sustainable Recycling of Electric Arc Furnace Steel Slag as Aggregate in Concrete: Effects on the Environmental and Technical Performance
(MDPI, 2021)
The aim of this research work was the evaluation of the feasibility to utilize industrial by-products, such as electric arc furnace steel slags, for sustainable concrete production. The paper evaluated the environmental ...
The Experimental Study of the Utilization of Recycling Aggregate from the Demolition of Elements of a Reinforced Concrete Hall
(MDPI, 2020)
The article shows a case study as to whether the thermal and mechanical recycling of concrete is suitable for concrete debris from the demolition of structural elements of a 30-year-old industrial hall. The experiment ...
