遗传禁忌搜索的能量均衡深井安全监测WSN分簇路由算法

针对深井巷道无线传感器网络（Wireless Sensor Networks,WSN）安全监测中节点能量消耗不均匀导致网络生命周期较短的问题,在分析低功耗自适应集簇分层型算法（Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy,LEACH）、遗传算法（Genetic Algorithm,GA）和禁忌搜索算法（Tabu Search Algorithm,TS）的基础上,提出遗传禁忌搜索的能量均衡深井安全监测WSN分簇路由算法（GTSR-EB）,以分簇方式来减少数据发送量与寻优开销,利用优化GA算法和TS算法进行多路径搜索以选出一条能耗均衡、路径传输距离最短的最优路径。仿真实验表明:GTSR-EB算法网络存活周期为LEACH算法的2.17倍、GA算法的1.18倍,GTSR-EB网络能量利用率更高、生存周期更长。     

一种新的结构可靠度通用计算方法

根据可靠度指标β的几何定义,运用具有全局优化能力的改进遗传算法,提出一种新的结构可靠度通用计算方法。针对可靠度几何优化模型搜索区域大而可行区域小的特点,在可靠区域和失效区域分别产生初始种群,在两种群之间通过不断迭代的二分法,使二分点不断接近极限状态曲面(线),从而产生可行解。对可行解进行选择、交叉、变异,最后求出全局最优解。该方法不需要使用结构功能函数的偏导数,对于功能函数不能明确表达的可靠度问题尤为适用;对于功能函数可以明确表达但求导复杂的问题,可省去求导过程;可任意设定初始值,且不受结构功能函数凹凸性的限制;通过算例验证,所提方法具有较高的精度和效率。

Pesticide distribution in an agricultural environment in Argentina

An assessment of the off-site migration of pesticides from agricultural activity into the environment in the Neuquen River Valley was performed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of pesticides in several compartments of a small agricultural sub-catchment. Soil, surface water, shallow groundwater and drift deposition were analyzed for pesticide residues. Results showed the presence of some pesticide residues in soil, surface water and shallow groundwater compartments. The highest detection frequencies in water (surface and subsurface) were found for azinphos-methyl and chlorpyrifos (>70%). In terms of concentration, the highest levels were observed in shallow groundwater for azinphos methyl (22.5 μg/L) and carbaryl (45.7 μg/L). In the soil, even before the application period had started, accumulation of residues was present. These residues increased during the period studied. Spray drift during pesticide application was found to be a significant pathway for the migration of pesticide residues in surface water, while leaching and preferential flows were the main transport routes contributing to subsurface contamination.     

Urinary dialkyl phosphate levels before and after first season chlorpyrifos spraying amongst farm workers in the Western Cape,South Africa

The study investigated urinary levels of dialkyl phosphates resulting from pesticide exposure amongst 40 farm workers. Workers were tested (urinary dialkyl phosphate levels, anthropometry, short exposure questionnaire) before and after the first day of seasonal chlorpyrifos spraying. Median baseline urinary dialkyl phosphates was high amongst both non-applicators (1587.5 μg/g creatinine, n = 8) and applicators (365.6 μg/g creatinine, n = 9). There was not much evidence of an increase in post-spray dialkyl phosphates levels from pre-spray levels amongst both applicators and non-applicators. Hours mixing, spraying, driving a tractor and hours worked by non-applicators were not significantly associated with an increase in post-spray dialkyl phosphate levels, adjusting for age, height, weight, gender, use of empty pesticide containers and self-reported kidney problems. Past applicator status was weakly positively associated with pre-spray dialkyl phosphate levels adjusting for age, height, weight, and gender, self-reported kidney problems, smoking and alcohol (β= 1019.5, p = 0.307, R²= 0.28). The high dialkyl phosphate levels call for an epidemiological investigation into the health effects of organophosphorous pesticides.     

Utilizing vortex behaviour to minimize drift

Abstract

The ULV spray emitted from a TBM flying in a cross wind was mapped by a scanning lidar system. The fate of the spray cloud for 2 min after release from the aircraft was followed as the material was transported downwind of the flight line. Vertical scans at 6 s intervals with 1 m^‐3 resolution provided detailed insight into the entrainment of the spray into the wing‐tip vortices and ultimate release to drift or deposit. Relative concentration, dosage and deposit profiles are presented for this cross‐wind case. Vortex lifetimes were found to be significantly different for the up‐wind and downwind vortices. The majority of the near field deposit was associated with the up‐wind vortex while the drift was linked to the down‐wind vortex.

Spray optimization through application and liquid physical property variables–I

One of the most important considerations when optimizing a spray application for maximum efficacy and minimum drift is the selection of the optimum droplet size spectrum (Hewitt, A. J., 1997. The importance of droplet size in agricultural spraying. Atomization and Sprays, 7(3), 235–244). Applicators are faced with an extensive selection of nozzle types, tank mixes and adjuvants. The present paper discusses the way that the tank mix and application variables interact to produce specific spray characteristics of droplet size spectrum, coverage and performance in total spray efficiency. Experimental data investigating the effects of liquid physical properties such as dynamic surface tension, shear and extensional viscosity are described. Spray formation from emulsions, surfactants and oils is also discussed. Atomization studies conducted in wind tunnels using a wide range of atomizer and nozzle types under different operating conditions are discussed. Empirical models for predicting atomization and drift of sprays are described with emphasis on their development and practical use for spray optimization.     

Developments in application technology

Pesticides are applied in diverse situations, but in each, careful consideration has to be given to applying the optimum dosage accurately with minimal exposure of the active substance to the operator. Emphasis is given to ways in which application equipment, suitable for both small-scale and large farms has been adapted to meet health and safety requirements. New developments in nozzle design provide users with greater flexibility in optimising pesticide delivery, while minimising spray volumes. Changes in equipment design that influence dose transfer are discussed.
