The tests were done by using an outlet valve, inlet valve, by-pass valve, and VSD. The study included four replications of constant speed and variable speed experiments, and three replications of constant pressure experiments. In each test, power consumption, inlet pressure, and outlet pressure were measured at different flow rates. During the constant speed tests at about the operating point, by-pass valve saved energy up to 66% and 5% compared to the outlet valve and inlet valve, respectively. Reducing the flow rate by 20% resulted in 7% less energy consumption with the use of both the by-pass valve and the inlet valve, and 19% more energy consumption with the outlet valve. The use of VSD showed profound advantage over the valves used in constant speed tests, with 41%, 44%, and 80% less energy demand compared to the by-pass, inlet, and outlet valve, respectively. Also, VSD and by-pass valves were compared in constant pressure operations. VSD offered 2 to 37% less energy consumption at pressures from 4.0 bar to 2.5 bar. The savings were less at high flow rates and quickly increased as the flow rate need decreased. The low system efficiency found in constant speed tests suggested that the pump was not appropriate for the hydraulic system used in low pressure applications. According to constant pressure tests, the system efficiency for VSD (26-29.1%) was greater than that of the by-pass valve (21.3-25.5%). In conclusion, the VSD was the most energy efficient method and suggested significant energy savings in small powered pump systems.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83837017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IntroductionA fish population is shaped by the geologic, chemical, physical, and biological factors within and surrounding the environment in which it lives. The relative quality of that environment affects the organisms living there, exerting positive or negative pressure on the population (Platts & McHenry 1988). The fluctuation of the fish population is really important for stock assessment and management. In this way, a major decline and rise in the population size or the population biomass can be detected, and appropriate management strategies can be adopted (Chen et al 2004). A relatively simple and inexpensive method of evaluating the health of lentic systems is to monitor the density and biomass of the fish population (Platts & McHenry 1988; Bohlin et al 1989).Density and biomass estimates of targeted species by electrofishing capture data are most often generated using depletion (or sometimes referred to as removal) (Moran 1951; Zippin 1958; White et al 1982) or the mark-recapture method (Ricker 1975; Zubik & Fraley 1988). Because these methods are labour intensive, they have been recommended only when researchers require detailed knowledge of the target population. Typically, removal methods have been used in stream environments where fish capture is by electrofishing during two to four intensive sampling periods over a short time period (often within a day) (Kelso 1989)","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81091662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study has been conducted with the aim of detecting the manufacturing defects of the fan-pattern nozzle orifices in terms of shape uniformity using the elliptic Fourier descriptors (EFDs), and revealing the shape differences among the nozzle orifices made in polyacetal for various nominal sizes ranging from 01 to 06. At first, descriptive data describing dimensions (major and minor length, projected area, etc.) and shapes (shape factor, elongation and roundness) of the nozzle orifices were obtained using an image processing method. The next process, to evaluate the nozzles’ orifice shape using elliptic Fourier analysis (EFA), the progresses of generating the orifice’s contour data, derivation of EFDs, principal component analysis (PCA) of EFDs and visualization of shape variations estimated by the principal component scores (PCs) were followed respectively. Although the shape differences of the orifice outlines could be visually distinguished, the descriptive shape data were not able to discriminate the contour differences. The EFDs determined for each orifice size could individually detect the nozzle orifices with shape defect originating from the manufacture and they could be explicitly distinguished from the scatter plots. The results of the Hotelling’s pairwise comparison test showed that the nozzle orifices in shape were significantly different from each other. Linear discriminant analysis demonstrated that the group centroids of the orifices of 03, 04 and 06 were found close-range to each other. The orifice of 01 which is rectangular in shape had an extraordinary attribute compared to the other orifices. The orifice outline of 015 with a smooth shape was in appearance of an oblate ellipse in shape. The contour of the nozzle orifice of 02 size was explicitly found different from the others. It was concluded that the EF method can be used intended for the manufacturers inspect and improve the quality of nozzle orifices.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74992123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pressurized air was applied to extractant holder filled with extractant. An electro-pneumatic regulator valve was used to regulate the air pressure at 344.75, 551.6, and 758.45 kPa using an analog electrical signal. A two-position solenoid valve that was controlled via Labview software according to pre-specified time interval was used to provide a high pressure pulse at known durations to the extractant column inside the holder. The mass of extractant transported to the mixing unit during a single air pulse was measured and recorded for all treatments in the experimental design. Analysis of variance was performed to determine significance of each variable, namely pulse duration and air pressure. Step wise linear regression analysis was used to develop calibration models for the prediction of extractant mass. The only significant factor was pulse duration while pressure was insignificant (α= 0.05) on extractant mass for all treatments. Pulse duration was used to find a model to predict extractant mass, and provided a very good prediction (R2= 0.99) at fixed pressure setting. Laboratory test results proved that pressurized air was effective in obtaining known quantity of extractant. The electro-pneumatic method was capable of obtaining and transporting a precise amount of extractant needed for on-the-go soil nitrate analysis within a short time (less than 100 ms) with a coefficient of variation of less than 3%.

This study has been conducted to determine roughness coefficient in vegetated canals caused by dallisgrass and to investigate the relationship between available soil phosphorous and dry mass of dallisgrass. The study also aims to find out the relationships among roughness coefficient, dallisgrass density and soil phosphorous in vegetated canals in Moghan plain, Iran. The results showed that the roughness coefficient varied from 0.01 to 0.32 and averaged at 0.09. The variation in roughness coefficient in vegetated canals by dallisgrass may be explained solely by the flow velocity and canal slope, assuming that there are no spatial variability’s of the other affecting variables. Therefore, a regression model comprises both the roughness coefficient as a dependent variable and the flow velocity and canal slope as an independent variable is developed. The available soil phosphorus both on the sides and at the bottom of vegetated canals were from 4.2 to 37 mg kg-1. The highest dry mass of 16 kg per 100 m2 was acquired from the canal with soil phosphorus of 16.7 mg kg-1. Also, another model was developed to describe the roughness coefficient as a function of the flow velocity, canal slope, dallisgrass density and soil phosphorous. It is recommended that identifying phosphorus sources and limiting its distribution in irrigation canals is necessary to reduce the dallisgrass density in canals.","PeriodicalId":22215,"journal":{"name":"Tarim Bilimleri Dergisi-journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73075133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
