The focus of the prototype is on sensing and controlling the conditions via light and misting
The interviews were conducted based on a semi-structured questionnaire comprising questions in three categories: i) use case definition, including the problem context, core idea, objective, development status, etc.; ii) use case mapping, including main business processes targeted, objects addressed, main actors using the envisaged system; and iii) use case information architecture, including the main functionalities/services…

Minor modifications were done in this toolbox to synchronise communication time to simulate complex models
RFs selection was based on a review of existing farms in schools and their compatibility with Quito’s educational program. For simulation, lettuce mono-crops were used because of their compatibility with Quito’s climate. Table 2 depicts the crops relevant characteristics. Following this there is a brief description of the three RF system assessed, and Appendix B…

It was found that HLScale showed more accurate toxicity prediction than did σCon
Tolerance to B toxicity may differ significantly not only between species, but also within the same species. The identification and characterization of varieties of crops that are tolerant to B toxicity is consequently a key issue as regards improving agricultural yields in soils with excessive B concentrations. This work has been performed with two local maize…

Multivariate analysis explores and simplifies complex datasets comprising multiple variables
The normal distribution of salinity score, observed in the 50 rice accessions used in this experiment, is suggestive of the polygenic nature of the trait, thus confirming earlier findings. The present investigation revealed 17 SSR markers, and 43 alleles in the 50 genotypes. Among these markers, the number of alleles per locus varied between two…

Evidence of a negative effect of integration with hydroponics on the benefits of using BFT was found
The transporters located on the vacuole membrane are activated to compartmentalize Cd-phytochelatin complexes from the cytosol into vacuoles. The AtCAXs were reported to transfer Cd into vacuoles to mitigate damage to plants under Cd stress. Previous studies reported that ATP-binding cassette transporters located on the vacuole membrane, such as OsHMA3 in rice and AtABCC1 and AtABCC2…

The molar percentages of DPhP in cell walls of roots were comparable to those in the cell sap
The proportion of TnBP in cell walls of shoots increased dramatically from 19% at 24 h to 43% at 72 h,suggesting translocation from the roots to shoots. However, less than 10% of TPhP in shoots subcellular fractions were found during exposure,which proved that TPhP did not readily transfer to shoots. Subcellular distributions of organophosphate diesters…

A control algorithm has been implemented to alter the growth environment by activating pumps and other actuators
The results showed that the maximum yield of wheat fodder was obtained using fluorescent light. Mosallam et al. studied the impact of different light sources such as natural, fluorescent, compact fluorescent, and LED light on barley fodder yield. The duration of light exposure was from 6.0 to 24 hr per day for all selected light sources.…

Educating consumers about the benefits and values of micro-greens could help farmers and food retailers promote micro-greens consumption
The locally grown broccoli micro-greens samples were purchased from a local farm in Alabama, which uses organic farming practices for growing high-quality organic micro-greens. micro-greens can be produced in soil-based or hydroponic growing systems. Hydroponic systems are often used in commercial operations for their high productivity. In micro-scale operations, such as local farms, both soil based and…

Total flavonoid content has been higher in leaf in comparison with petiole and root extracts
The non-significant response between fertilizer supplemented wastewater and commercial hydroponic fertilizer mix could be caused by the trade-offs in nutrients between wastewater and CHFM.Ligularia fischeriTurcz is a perennial herbaceous plant which belongs to Ligularia, a class of composite family and distributed widely in South Korea, Japan, China, and Eastern Siberia. It usually grows on wood, water,…

The 10% biogas slurry treatment actually resulted in a 67.2% higher GI relative to the normal hydroponic fertilizer
As it emerges from the isotherm model analysis, the NO3-N adsorption on Sep, T-Sep, H-Sep and H-Pal is monolayered and fits on linear Langmuir isotherm; on T-Pal is monolayered as well but fits on nonlinear Langmuir model, while the interactions between NO3-N and Pal are heterogeneous. That renders the adsorption mostly a physical procedure with…
