Fruit and vegetable harvesting robots have been widely studied and developed in recent years to reduce the cost of harvesting tasks such as labor and time. However, harvesting robots have many challenges due to the difficulty and uncertainty of task. In this paper, we characterize the crop environment related to the harvesting robot and analyzes state-of-the-art of the harvesting robot especially, in the viewpoint of robotic end-effector. The end-effector, an one of most important element of the harvesting robot, was classified into gripper and harvesting module, which were reviewed in more detail. Performance measures for the evaluation of harvesting robot such as test, detachment success, harvest success, and cycle time were also introduced. Furthermore, we discuss the current limitations of the harvesting robot and challenges and directions for future research.

This study was carried out to develop the methodology of chromosome preparation from blood cultures in mammals which included human, mouse, cattle and pig. For karyotyping, 0.5-5.0ml of peripheral blood were collected and cultured. The satisfactory results were obtained from macroculture and microculture in all species. In culture, the patterns of cell growth were no difference among media except serum concentration and mitogen supplement. The presence of mitogen and fetal bovine serum in medium significantly affected the mitotic index. The optimal culture condition was 37$^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. And the concentration of colcemid and reincubation time also affected the chromosome morphology. In harvest, chromosome patterns were mainly affected on hypotonic treatment which included treated time and temperature, dropwise of fixative solution, and drying after slide preparation.

In this study, Mg-Sericite was used as a flocculant to harvest freshwater microalgae, Chlorella. vulgaris. Mg-Sericite separated successfully >95% of the C. vulgaris at the following optimal parameters: Mg/Si mol ratio 1.25 to 1.50, mixing time of 20 min and settling time of 20 min. The harvesting efficiency was pH dependent. The highest harvesting efficiency ($99{\pm}0.3%$) was obtained at Mg/Si mol ratio 1.5 and pH 9 to 11. These results indicated that a biopolymer, Mg-Sericite, can be a promising flocculant due to its high efficiency, low dose requirements, short mixing and settling times. This harvesting method is helpful to lower the production cost of algae for biodiesel.

In this paper, we investigate the optimal packet scheduling problem in a two-user multiple access communication system, where the transmitters are able to harvest energy from the nature. Under a deterministic system setting, we assume that the energy harvesting times and harvested energy amounts are known before the transmission starts. For the packet arrivals, we assume that packets have already arrived and are ready to be transmitted at the transmitter before the transmission starts. Our goal is to minimize the time by which all packets from both users are delivered to the destination through controlling the transmission powers and transmission rates of both users. We first develop a generalized iterative backward waterfilling algorithm to characterize the maximum departure region of the transmitters for any given deadline T. Then, based on the sequence of maximum departure regions at energy arrival instants, we decompose the transmission completion time minimization problem into convex optimization problems and solve the overall problem efficiently.

This experiment was conducted to study the variation laws and correlations of shearing force and feed characteristics including morphological characteristic, chemical composition and in situ degradability of wheat straw. Feasibility of evaluating the nutritional value of wheat straws with shearing force values was analyzed in this study. Six hundred wheat straw plants (Jimai 22) were randomly selected and placed in a cool and ventilated place. Samples were collected in the 1st, 15th, 30th, 45th, 60th d after harvest to measure shearing force, morphological characteristic, nutritional composition. Rumen degradation of dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of wheat straws were determined by the nylon bags method. The results demonstrated that linear and quadratic effects of storage time on all the tested morphological characteristics were significantly correlative (p<0.01). As storage time goes on, all the tested nutrients and their rumen degradations of wheat straw was linearly (p<0.01) and quadratic (p<0.01) correlative except ADF content and rumen degradation of ADF. Significant correlations were determined in linear effect of shearing force on morphological characteristics (p<0.01), and linear density and diameter were a more sensitive predictor than stem thickness for shearing force. There were strong correlations between storage time and all the measured physical characteristics (shearing force, morphological characteristics and shearing force standardized by morphological characteristics) (p<0.01). Nutrition compositions were linearly correlative with shearing force and standardized shearing force (p<0.01). The linear correlation between rumen degradation of DM and NDF and shearing force and standardized shearing force were evident (p<0.01). In conclusion, shearing force, nutrition compositions and their rumen degradation of wheat straw were still dynamic with storage time after harvest. Correlation could be found between shearing force and nutritional characteristics of wheat straw. Nutrient content, morphological index and rumen degradation of DM and NDF could be predicted by changes in shearing force. Shearing force should be applied according to a standardized storage time when it is used to forecast the feed value of wheat straws.

This study was conducted in order to investigate the effects that the difference of planting time by a method of cultivation in the non-heated greenhouse and the open field with spring planting had on growth and yield. With regard to the tested variety of Momordica charantia, variety 'Dragon' (Japan Yae 農藝) was selected. And 3 treatments on March 20, April 5 and April 20 for the greenhouse cultivation and 3 treatments on April 20, May 5 and May 20 for the open-field cultivation 1 month later than those for the greenhouse cultivation were planted by the randomized complete block design, and 4 secondary vines were trained. In the results of examining 15-day average atmospheric temperature after planting according to the methods of greenhouse and open-field cultivation and planting time, it was shown that there was a tendency for atmospheric temperature inside the greenhouse to decrease as the planting time was moved up. In particular, the average atmospheric temperature was $16.7^{\circ}C$ when seedling was planted on April 20 in the open-field cultivation, which was approximately equal to $17.0^{\circ}C$ of the average atmospheric temperature when a seedling was planted on March 20 in the greenhouse cultivation. With regard to the date of first harvest by the method of cultivation, it was shown that there was a tendency for the date of first harvest to be earlier in the greenhouse cultivation than in the open-field cultivation, and the date of first harvest was moved up as a seedling was planted earlier for the planting period. The number and weight of harvested fruits per plant showed a tendency which was almost similar to that of total number of harvest days and number of harvests. Thus, the number of fruits was 189 and the weight of fruits was 31,649g in case of the greenhouse cultivation and planting on March 20, which were maximum. In case of planting on the latest planting date : May 20 in the open-field cultivation, the number of fruits was 77 and the weight of fruits was 12,502g, which were at a level of 40% of those of planting on March 20 in the greenhouse cultivation 2 months earlier. The total yield per 10a was 10,228kg in the greenhouse cultivation and was 2.2 times as heavy as 4,607kg in the open-field cultivation with regard to the method of cultivation. For the planting period in the greenhouse cultivation, it was 10,539kg and 10,517kg in planting on March 20 and April 5, which was higher by 9% than 9,629kg in planting on April 20. And in the open-field cultivation, it was 4,785kg in planting on April 20 and 4,872kg in planting on May 5, which was higher by 15~17% than 4,163kg in planting on May 20. Taking the above results into account, it is considered proper to plant Momordica charantia from March 20 to April 5 for the greenhouse cultivation and from April 20 to May 5 or thereabouts when a risk of late frost is gone for the open-field cultivation in southern area.

본 연구는 퇴비의 원료로 지정된 제약업종 부산물(공정오니) 및 화장품 제조업 폐수처리오니를 시용한 후 고추를 재배하면서 시용한 오니에 의한 작물의 비료의 피해를 밝히기 위해 포장에서 작물의 생육과 수량(적과, 청과), 시기별로 토양 및 식물체 중 중금속 함량 등을 조사하였다. 토양 중 유기물 및 질소성분은 시험재료의 성분함량이 높은 처리구에서 생육 초기(6월 11일)에 높았다. 토양의 중금속 성분에서 전함량의 경우 As성분은 생육 중기(7월 8일)에 함량이 급격히 높아졌다가 감소하였으며 Zn Cu Pb Cd성분은 수확기에 갑자기 함량이 증가하였고, 1 N-HCl 가용함량에서 Zn Cu Pb As성분은 생육 중기에 증가하였다가 감소하는 경향이었다. 고추의 생육(초장, 간경)은 초기에는 오니구(제약오니3구 제외)가 화학비료구보다 전반적으로 불량하였는데 이는 유기물 함량이 높은 미 부숙된 오니의 영향인 것으로 생각되며, 생육 후기에는 회복이 되어서 화장품 오니구를 제외하고는 서로 비슷하였다. 고추 식물체(잎, 줄기)의 질소함량에서 생육 초기 및 중기에 제약오니 1과 돈분구가 높은 것은 이들 시험재료의 유기물 및 질소성분의 특성과 함량에 기인된 것으로 보이며, 식물체 중 중금속 함량에서 잎은 Zn Pb Ni 성분이, 줄기는 Zn Pb성분이 수확기에 급격히 높아졌으므로 이들 성분에 대해서 주의할 필요가 있다고 생각된다. 고추의 총 적과 수량은 가축분뇨 > 제약오니3 > 제약오니1 > 화학비료 > 제약오니2구 순으로 낮아졌으며, 화장품오니구는 타 처리구보다 상당히 감수하였다. 수확기 고추 청과 및 적과의 중금속 함량은 Zn과 Cu성분이 타 성분들보다 높았고, 처리별로는 청과에서 Zn 및 Cu성분은 제약오니1구가, Pb성분은 제약오니3구가 타 처리구들보다 조금 높아서 유기성 오니를 퇴비원료로 사용할 경우 오니 중의 Zn Cu Pb Ni성분의 특성과 함량이 상당히 중요할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 퇴비원료로 지정된 오니 중에서 화장품오니와 제약오니2에서 생육 후기부터 수확기에 걸쳐 질소성분의 부족현상에 의한 생육부진과 낙엽, 어떤 원인인지 알 수 없지만 비해에 의한 수량감소 등의 원인을 앞으로 연구를 통해서 밝힐 필요가 있다고 생각된다. 본 시험의 결과는 퇴비원료로 지정하거나, 지정된 퇴비원료의 사용을 신청할 때 허가할 퇴비원료가 작물에 대해 적합한지 알아보는 방법의 일환으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
