Improved blueberry mechanical harvesting (MH) equipment that maintains fresh market quality are needed due to rising costs and decreasing availability of laborers for harvesting by hand.In 2017, a modified over-the-row (OTR) blueberry harvester with experimental catch surfaces and plates designed to reduce fruit bruising was evaluated.The catch sur

We describe a new species of frog of the genus Zakerana discovered from the urban core of Dhaka, Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated cities in the world.Although the new species is morphologically similar to the geographically proximate gap kad?n ayakkab? congeners in the Bangladeshi cricket frog group, we show that it can be distinguishe

Deaf-mutes face many difficulties in daily interactions with hearing people through spoken language.Sign language is an important way of expression and communication for deaf-mutes.Therefore, breaking the communication barrier between the deaf-mute and hearing communities is significant for facilitating their integration into society.To help them i

A two-dimensional sagittally symmetric human-body model was established to simulate an optimal trajectory for manual material handling tasks.Nonlinear control techniques and ps5 edmonton in stock genetic algorithms were utilized in the optimizations to explore optimal lifting patterns.The simulation results were then compared with the experimental
