A shrewd and pervasive controlled condition farming framework

With new technological advancement in controlled-environment agriculture systems, the level of productivity has significantly increased. Agriculture systems are now more capable, reliable, and provide enhanced productivity. An agriculture environment can range from a single plant in a house, a backyard garden, a small farm, to a large farming facility. These agricultural automated systems will help in managing and maintain safe environment especially the agricultural areas. In this paper, we propose a smart Agriculture System (AgriSys) that can analyze an agriculture environment and intervene to maintain its adequacy. The system deals with general agriculture challenges, such as temperature, humidity, pH, and nutrient support. In addition, the system deals with desert-specific challenges, such as dust, infertile sandy soil, constant wind, very low humidity, and the extreme variations in diurnal and seasonal temperatures. The system interventions are mainly intended to maintain the adequacy of the agriculture environment. For a reduced controller complexity, the adoption of fuzzy control is considered. The system implementation relies on state-of-art computer interfacing tools from National Instruments as programmed under LabVIEW

Ripening and quality detection of mango using Arduino

Ripening is the methodology of maturing fruit to become more palatable. The ripening procedure of mango contains different stages in which a mango develops. There is a specific example in which the way toward maturing of mango is satisfied. In this paper, we are developing a technique for identifying the different ripening stages of Climacteric fruit like mango by utilizing an Arduino framework which will predict the quality of mango and show the total ripening procedure as per the color changing stages with the help of MATLAB. The HSV color space is used to read the color changes of mango and the information about the ripening is send to the user via GSM module using Arduino.

Influence of heat treatment on mechanical properties of aluminum matrix composites

The Al 7075 alloy matrix materials possess mechanical properties with the addition of SiC particulates as reinforcement. Stir casting is used for preparing composite workpiece. composites were adopted for heat treatment process by subjecting to solutionizing followed by quenching in ice media for improving the mechanical properties. Then the specimens are brought to artificial aging at a temperature of 140˚C for different time duration. The hardness properties are examined for the composite materials before and after heat treatment.

Studies on microstructural and hardness properties of aluminum metal matrix composites

The Al 7075 alloy matrix materials possess mechanical properties with the addition of B4C particulates as reinforcement with varying weight percentage. Stir casting is used for preparing composite workpiece. Composites were adopted for microstructural studies and hardness survey. The hardness properties are examined for the composite materials and revealed that hardness increases with increase in weight percentage of reinforcement.

Industrial development and economic growth

This article is concerned with the industrial development of Nepal. It shows the correlation between the industrial establishment, investment, and employment. The article describes industrial relations and slow process of industrialization in Nepal. Industrial policies followed by the government in different periods are presented and literature regarding Nepalese and outside Nepal are also presented. This article is based on secondary data and information. This paper also examines the contribution of the industrial sector to GDP. Some other GDP scenarios of SAARC countries with respect to their GDP growth rate of industrial sector are also presented in the tabular form. The paper concludes that the rapid industrialization is required to create more employment opportunities and to shift the agriculture labor to an industrial sector along with to solve the problem of increasing unemployment and disguised unemployment. Some policy options are also suggested to increase industrial production in a sustainable manner and with comparative advantage.

Investigation on the influence of effective bracing system in multi-storeyed structure using CYPE

A Bracing system is provided to reduce the lateral deflection of the structure. The use of braced frames has become more effective in high rise structure and also in the seismic design of the structure. The bracing system plays the vital role in structural behaviour during the earthquake. So this paper aims to find out the effect of bracing on multi-storied of the steel building. In this paper, G+19 steel frames are modelled with the different type of bracing pattern and different combination of soft-story using CYPE software.
