Drip irrigation offers greater water use efficiency than conventional furrow practises, though routine maintenance is required for optimal performance. The continuous of low concentrations (10 ppm) H2O2 stabilized with hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid (HEDP) at two (H2O2 Low containing 1 ppb and High ppm HEDP) in drip was evaluated terms emitter, crop yield performance across three species. Emitter flow rates (EFRs) subsurface sugarcane were higher by 16% root intrusion into emitters...

Abstract Aerating water using microbubbles in irrigation for drip and subsurface systems has been reported to produce positive effects on plant growth yield. However, maintaining the uniformity of bubble distribution lines across long‐row configuration is a challenge. Air injection gas diffuser (Seair Diffusion System, Model SA75) significant gain dissolved oxygen (DO) over 850 m length tape. Furthermore, with Venturi, DO reached as high 44 ppm was maintained well above 35 up distance 700...

Abstract We are concerned with producing high‐quality images of parametric and implicit surfaces, in particular those non‐manifold features. present a point‐based technique for rendering surfaces that uses octree spatial subdivision natural interval exclusion test guarantees no parts the surface missed. This allows us to render at speeds comparable surfaces. also derive criteria guarantee complete pixel coverage surface. The method hidden elimination using z‐buffer, shadow casting buffer....

We discuss the polygonisation and rendering of non-manifold implicit surfaces using adaptive octree subdivision interval arithmetic for surface exclusion in nodes. present a new algorithm that polygonises some self intersect, or have other features such as separate sections meet at points. Gradient information is used to resolve ambiguous polygonisations plotting A line-stitching discussed allows multiple polygons be node. illustrate with number demonstrate its capabilities limitations.

This paper describes and tests the hypothesis that which ancient Chinese philosophy searched for, Tao, is same principle as found in modern Chaos Fractal Theories. An elucidation of several key principles notions art theory offered, coupled with fractal from theory. It argued an abstract form symbolic brush-strokes, elicit intrinsic mathematic values. example a evolving (animated) based on this notion given to test our hypothesis.

We use octree spatial subdivision to generate point clouds on complex nonmanifold implicit surfaces in order visualize them. The new scheme only uses sampling and an interval exclusion test. algorithm includes a test for pruning the resulting plotting nodes so that points closest surface are used rendering. This results improved image quality compared naive of intervals or affine arithmetic when rendering surfaces, particularly regions high curvature. discuss compare CPU GPU versions...

A hybrid polygons-points algorithm based on a hierarchical decomposition of the bounding volume using an octree spatial data structure, and testing cell occupation with interval arithmetic is given. Polygons are produced where curvature in occupied cells low points used high. As result, rendered around extreme features polygons regular features. Using this approach implicit surfaces high complexity, such as recursively defined surfaces, rendered. discussion implementation given for GPU...
