  • Life-cycle assessment of biodiesel versus petroleum diesel fuel

    The US Department of Energy's Office of Transportation Technologies, DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the US Department of Agriculture's Office of Energy and Ecobalance are carrying out a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of soy-based diesel fuel (biodiesel) to quantify the environmental aspects of the "cradle-to-grave" production and use of biodiesel. The purpose of the project is to produce an analytical tool and database for use by industry and government decision makers involved in alternative fuel use and production. The study also includes a parallel effort to develop a life cycle model for petroleum diesel fuel. The two models are used to compare the life cycle energy and environmental implications of petroleum diesel and biodiesel derived from soybean. Several scenarios are studied, analyzing the influence of transportation distances, agricultural practice and allocation rules used. The results of an LCA such as this are strongly influenced by decisions made at the study outset, related to scoping, modeling and methodology. Objectivity as well as acceptance of the results depend upon careful definition and consideration of such issues. This paper communicates the project scoping decisions which have been made in response to a series of stakeholder peer reviews.

    Discusses the use of soft computing techniques such as neural networks and fuzzy logic based approaches in the identification of various types of trash (non-lint material/foreign matter) in ginned cotton. Lint is the cotton fiber; non-lint or foreign matter is everything other than lint. The effectiveness of a hybrid neuro-fuzzy structure, namely the adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system to classify trash types is compared to other techniques. Shape descriptors like shape factor, extent, and solidity measures are used as features to distinguish trash types.

  • Application of AnnAGNPS in Upper &amp; Middle Watershed of Guilin Taohuajiang River in Karst Area

    Abstract-The 3 themes DEM·Soil.shp and Field.shp required by AnnAGNPS are prepared by MapGIS 6.5, ENVI 4.0 and ArcView GIS 3.3 through data transformation. These data layers generated the spatial data and themes that are used in AnnAGNPS, they are executed finally as soon as the parameters used in AnnAGNPS are calibrated. The simulated values of total nitrogen and phosphorus are 27.5 t/a and 8.03 t/a and the observed values are 31.06 t/a and 10.43 t/a respectively. The scale error values are 11.5% and 23% respectively. They are all underestimated because of the fast use change format. The error of simulated values of nitrogen and phosphors are acceptable. The simulated results show that AnnAGNPS can simulated transport and loss of the nutrients in small river watershed in karst area.

  • Using thermal infrared temperature over sparse semi-arid vegetation for sensible heat flux estimation

    To estimate sensible heat flux using thermal infra-red temperature T/sub r/ over sparse semi-arid vegetation, a knowledge of either the corrective term kB/sup -1/ or the difference between radiometric and aerodynamic surface temperatures T/sub r/-T/sub o/ is usually required. Several experimental data sets acquired over various sparse vegetation in semi-arid areas (fallow savannah and millet field of HAPEX-Sahel, grassland and shrubland of MONSOON' 90) are used to study the experimental behavior of these variables. When considering the extreme variability of kB/sup -1/ and the difficulty in predicting its value, the relationship between T/sub r/ and T/sub o/ was more thoroughly studied and parameterized using the conceptual two-layer model of Shuttleworth and Wallace (1985).

  • Quantifying impact of hydrology on corn grain yield using ground-penetrating radar

    Understanding hydrologic processes is fundamental for characterizing agricultural chemical behavior and crop production at the field and watershed scales. Unfortunately, crop production patter" and hydrologic processes exhibit significant spatial and temporal variability. The concept of soil moisture response zones has been proposed and found to be an effective means for identifying areas within a field that are hydrologically similar. Soil moisture response zones were determined using normalized spatial yield patterns from divergent climatic conditions on a small watershed at the USDA- ARS Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland USA. Subsurface hydrology was determined by identifying subsurface convergent flow pathway locations using ground-penetrating radar (GPR), digital elevation maps (DEM) and ;I GIs. Frequent volumetric soil moisture measurements confirmed the existence of discrete preferential funnel flow processes occurring near the GPR-identified preferential flow pathways. Although the spatial variability of corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield generated coefficients of variation > 114% during a drought, yield were strongly effected by their proximity to GPRidentified subsurface flow pathways. Corn grain yields and the soil moisture response index decreased as the horizontal distance from the GPR- identified subsurface flow pathways increased during a drought. During a growing season where precipitation was aibundant, this quantitative relationship was reversed. This research suggests that GPR is an effective tool for quantifying the impact hydrology on crop production.

  • Application of neural network in ultrasound tissue characterization using backscattered signal parameters

    Ultrasonic techniques have shown good potential for estimating tissue composition for noninvasive imaging, diagnosis, and meat evaluation. Research carried out to define useful ultrasonic spectral parameters for tissue characterization, and to test multiparameter pattern recognition methods for tissue classification. The feasibility of two pattern recognition methods, linear discriminant analysis and artificial neural networks was studied for their applications to beef quality grading. The differentiating criteria were the tissue composition (% fat) and the tissue inhomogeneity (fat marbling). The discriminant analysis and neural network both showed good potential for evaluating marbling grades and % fat for beef rib-eye quality grading using ultrasonic backscattered spectral parameters.<<ETX>>
