Mechanical canopy and trunk shaking for the harvesting mechanization of table olive orchards
(Universidad Nacional de Cuyo; Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias; Centro Coordinador de Ediciones Académicas, 2020)Table olive harvesting is highly dependent on manual labour and may jeopardize the crop benefit. The introduction of a mechanical harvest system requires a global evaluation of the whole process. A trunk shaker along with ... -
Mechanical Performance of Concrete Made with the Addition of Recycled Macro Plastic Fibres
(MDPI, 2021)For many decades, researchers have been working on finding innovative and sustainable solutions to address the enormous quantities of plastic waste that are produced every year which, after being collected, are transformed ... -
Methodology for Olive Pruning Windrow Assessment Using 3D Time-of-Flight Camera
(MDPI, 2021)The management of olive pruning residue has shifted from burning to shredding, laying residues on soil, or harvesting residues for use as a derivative. The objective of this research is to develop, test, and validate a ... -
Mobilizing greater crop and land potentials sustainably
(Geographical Institute, Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences (CSFK), 2017)The supply side of the food security engine is the way we farm. The current engine of conventional tillage farming is faltering and needs to be replaced. It is faltering because it causes unacceptable level of soil erosion ... -
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 ... -
Modelling Runoff and Sediment Loads in a Developing Coastal Watershed of the US-Mexico Border
(MDPI, 2019)Urbanization can increase sheet, rill, gully, and channel erosion. We quantified the sediment budget of the Los Laureles Canyon watershed (LLCW), which is a mixed rural-urbanizing catchment in Northwestern Mexico, using ... -

Monitoring Sound and Its Perception during the Lockdown and De-Escalation of COVID-19 Pandemic: A Spanish Study
(MDPI, 2021)The lockdown measures in Spain due to the SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic from 13 March to 21 June 2020 had extensive social and environmental implications. This study aims to understand how the ... -
Monthly Precipitation Forecasts Using Wavelet Neural Networks Models in a Semiarid Environment
(MDPI, 2020)Accurate forecast of hydrological data such as precipitation is critical in order to provide useful information for water resources management, playing a key role in different sectors. Traditional forecasting methods present ... -
Multifractal Characterization of Seismic Activity in the Provinces of Esmeraldas and Manabí, Ecuador
(MDPI, 2019)Due to the enormous impact of seismic activity and the need to deepen knowledge of its behavior, this research work carries out an analysis of the multifractal nature of the magnitude, inter-distance and interevent time ... -
Occupational Safety and Health Training for Undergraduates Nursing Students: A Spanish Pilot
(MDPI, 2020)Most of blood borne and airborne pathogens are highly contagious, harmful and have prevalence among healthcare workers. In this group, healthcare students, especially nursing undergraduates, have even higher risk to be ... -
Olive Actual “on Year” Yield Forecast Tool Based on the Tree Canopy Geometry Using UAS Imagery
(MDPI, 2017)Olive has a notable importance in countries of Mediterranean basin and its profitability depends on several factors such as actual yield, production cost or product price. Actual “on year” Yield (AY) is production (kg ... -
Olive Crown Porosity Measurement Based on Radiation Transmittance: An Assessment of Pruning Effect
(MDPI, 2016)Crown porosity influences radiation interception, air movement through the fruit orchard, spray penetration, and harvesting operation in fruit crops. The aim of the present study was to develop an accurate and reliable ... -
Olive Cultivation, its Impact on Soil Erosion and its Progression into Yield Impacts in Southern Spain in the Past as a Key to a Future of Increasing Climate Uncertainty
(MDPI, 2014)This article is intended as a review of the current situation regarding the impact of olive cultivation in Southern Spain (Andalusia) on soil degradation processes and its progression into yield impacts, due to diminishing ... -
Opportunities of super high-density olive orchard to improve soil quality: Management guidelines for application of pruning residues
(Elsevier, 2021)Applying pruning residues in the lanes of olive groves has become a popular practice because it is economical and accrues benefits for soil and water management. This study presents an analysis of the impact of different ... -
Optimisation of mortar with Mg-Al-Hydrotalcite as sustainable management strategy lead waste
