Analysis of flight parameters and georeferencing of images with different control points obtained by RPA
(2019)New techniques for analysing the earth's surface have been explored, such as the use of remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) to obtain aerial images. However, one of the obstacles of photogrammetry is the reliability of the ... -
Assessment of luggage compartment parameters based on the preferences of a heterogeneous driver group
(2019)This work deals with the assessment of driver preferences in the area of passenger car luggage compartments. The data collected is compared to that of real vehicles from the full range of passenger cars available on the ... -
Benchmarking the GHG emissions intensities of crop and livestock–derived agricultural commodities produced in Latvia
(2019)With the production of grain and livestock–derived agricultural commodities increasing, the agricultural sector has become one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in Latvia. In 2016, the agricultural ... -
Biological features of formation of perennial binary grass crops
(2019)The paper deals with the impact of binary mixtures of perennial grasses on the productivity and quality of forage crops that differ in their species composition. The studies have shown that mixed crops exceeded single-species ... -
Compost-bedded pack barns in the state of Minas Gerais: architectural and technological characterization
(2019)Compost bedding pack (CBP) barns have been receiving increased attention as an alternative housing system for dairy cattle. Thus, a systematic investigation of the primary management practices of dairy cattle in CBP barns ... -
Design and construction of a low-cost remotely piloted aircraft for precision agriculture applications
(2019)This study aimed to construct a low cost RPA capable of recording georeferenced images. For the construction of the prototype of a quadcopter type RPA, only essential materials were used to allow stable flight. A maximum ... -
Determining external friction angle of barley malt and malt crush
(2019)This paper deals with determining the amount of external friction angle of barley malt and malt crush depending on the load size. Barley malt is a basic raw material for production of the traditional Czech Pilsner type ... -
Development of encapsulated extracts on the basis of meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) in the composition of functional foods with oncoprotective properties
(2019)Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) is a quite common plant throughout the European countries, including Russia. Therapeutic and prophylactic properties of the meadowsweet are mainly associated with the action of biologically ... -
Development of intelligent system of mobile robot movement planning in unknown dynamic environment by means of multi-agent system
(2019)Through the ages the world has conceived the projects which are aimed at creating diverse models of robots that would be beneficial for exploration of different dangerous surfaces where human participation is excluded. ... -
The effect of application of potassium, magnesium and sulphur on wheat and barley grain yield and protein content
(2019)The objective of our experiment was to study the effect of mineral fertilizers, rich mainly in the K, Mg and S content, and compare their effect on grain yield and protein content of winter wheat and winter barley with ... -
Effect of multi-component fertilizers on seeds yield, yield components and physiological parameters of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.)
(2019)Subject of the discussed studies was an analysis of the impact of mineral multicomponent fertilizers, from Polish and foreign producers, on the yield and yield components of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus var. ... -
Farm health and safety adoption through engineering and behaviour change
(2019)The agriculture sector is one of the most hazardous occupations worldwide. The EU farming population is predominantly self-employed, who are largely outside the scope of EU occupational safety and health (OSH) legislation. ... -
A holistic vision of bioeconomy: the concept of transdisciplinarity nexus towards sustainable development
(2019)Current issue of bioeconomy development has been largely addressed on a linear or interdisciplinary level, however holistic view of bioeconomy requires a transdisciplinary system analysis. Developed methodology clarifies ... -
Influence of the bentonite-containing acrylic humectant composite on the soil microflora
(2019)Acrylic derivative-based superabsorbents are widely used currently in agriculture as the soil conditioners, plant growth regulators, etc. Their usage has a positive effect on the growth and survival of the plants cultivated ... -
The nutrition value of soybeans grown in Latvia for pig feeding
(2019)Soybean products are excellent sources of protein for pigs because their amino acid profiles complement those of cereal grains. Soy protein is rich in the limiting amino acids lysine, threonine, and tryptophan that are ... -
