ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH QUALITY AND THE CONSEQUENCESOF URBANIZATION: A REVIEW
Get PDFUrbanization is a worldwide trend that has changed economies, landscapes, and communities.It alludes to the process of population concentration in urban regions, which fosters thedevelopment of cities and the enlargement of their infrastructure. This article highlights the effectsof urbanization on numerous facets of society along with urbanization's causes, products, andimplications. Push and pull variables work together to cause urbanization. People are pushed outof rural regions by various circumstances, including a lack of work prospects, poor agriculturalproduction, poverty, and natural catastrophes. Factors that attract people, on the other side, arethe allures and possibilities provided by metropolitan regions, such as increased career chances,access to healthcare, education, and attributes of life enhancements.Urbanization has a seriouseffect on environmental health quality, both positive and negative. While urban areas can providenumerous economic and social opportunities, they also place considerable stress on theenvironment, leading to various environmental health challenges

Investigating the potential for double-harvesting late-spring crops and mixes in the Central Balkan mountain foremountain areas
Get PDFA research was carried out from 2007 to 2009 at the Institute of Mountain Stockbreeding and Agriculture -Troyan on the feasibility of double-harvesting yearly late-spring crops and forage mixes. Variouscombinations of grass and legume crops, as well as three separate stands of each, were examined in thefollowing ways: The following are the possible combinations: 1. Spring pea "Pleven 4" 2. Sudangrass(Control) 3. Sorghum-Sudangrass hybrid 4. Sudangrass + Spring pea 5. Sorghum-Sudangrass hybrid +Spring pea 1.During the first stage of harvesting, which occurs when grass crops are just starting to bloom,the sorghum-Sudangrass hybrid and its mixture with spring pea outperformed the control stand ofSudangrass in terms of maximum productivity. The hybrid outperformed the control by 55.03 percent, whilethe mixture with spring pea exceeded it by 51.9 percent. The second cut yields were created by the grasscrops at both phases after the initial harvest. Regardless of the stage of first harvesting or the type of stands(mixed or pure), the regions with the highest concentration of seeded fodder crops had the fewest weeds

This project involved building a quadcopter without sensors,cameras, or GPS for agricultural spraying. The quadcopter was created to rapidly and effectively cover a sizableamount of agricultural land, while also minimizing the usage of pesticides and the impact on the environment.The quadcopter's frame, which was made of lightweight materials to give strength and durability whileminimizing the aircraft's overall weight, was used in its construction. The quadcopter's frame was made toaccommodate four brushless motors, each of which had a propeller to give lift and movement. Four electronicspeed controllers (ESCs) were used to control the motors' rotational speed and direction. The high-capacitylithium-polymer (LiPo) battery used by the quadcopter has sufficient power to run the motors and sprayingsystem continuously. A tank, a pump that pressurized the liquid, and a nozzle that released the pressurizedliquid over the crops as a fine mist made up the spraying system. A KK 2.1.5 circuit board served as thefoundation for the flight control system, which was wired to the battery, four ESCs, and other components.The quadcopter's circuit board was configured to retain its position and altitude while flying steadily.Additionally, it provided buttons and an LCD panel for the user to use to change flying characteristicsincluding the throttle, pitch, and roll. A handheld radio transmitter that interacted with a quadcopter receiverwas used to control the aircraft
Viruses on Table Vine Varietie
Get PDFIn Herzegovina table grapes have been grown on smaller private areas. One of the most important factors that affect the yieldand quality of vines, grapes and the profit of production are the viruses. The aim of this work is to monitor the occurrence of4 viruses (GLRaV-1, GLRaV-3, ArMV and GFLV) on 6 table grape varieties: Prima, Black Magic, Cardinal,Demir-kapija,Victoria, Alphonse Lavallée. The research was conducted in the period from November 2019 to September 2020 on one ofthe larger plantations north of Mostar.Studies have shown different susceptibility of different varieties to these viruses. Ofthe 60 samples examined, the presence of ArMV virus was not recorded. The presence of GLRaV-1, GLRaV-3 and GFLVviruses was proven by ELISA. The variety Victoria is most susceptible to infection with the GLRaV- 3 virus, in which eachsample of this variety is infected. The second variety that is most susceptible is Demir kapija with 80% of infected samples,followed by Cardinal with 70% and Alfonso with 50%. The most resistant varieties according to this research are Prima with30% of infected samples and Black Magic with 10% of infected samples.

ASSESSMENT OF CLASSICAL, ASTER AND SRTM DEMs IN NAIROBI REGION, KENYA
Get PDFA digital elevation model (DEM) is a three-dimensional model of the terrain on Earth. To getthe most out of terrain elevation measurements collected by satellite, a global digital elevationmodel (GDEM) has to have high vertical precision. Typical applications of digital elevationmodels (DEMs) include reconnaissance surveys, hydrological analysis, biomass calculation,geoid modeling, and others; this research evaluates the vertical accuracy of three DEMs:Classical, ASTER (30 m), and SRTM (90 m). While ASTER and SRTM DEMs are derivedfrom satellite-based remote sensing missions, classical DEMs are derived from regionaltopographical maps. For this evaluation, we used DEM-derived heights across NairobiCounty and the surrounding area to compare with orthometric heights obtained via accurateleveling at 18 sites. The research identified that for conventional DEM, the mean and standarddeviation of the direct disparities between precisely leveled heights and DEM heights are 3.97m and ±7.76 m, for ASTER DEM, they are 16.36 m and ±7.79 m, and for SRTM DEM, theyare -0.25 m and ±4.00 m, respectively. According to the findings, the traditional and ASTERDEMs are the next most accurate, after SRTM DEM. After that, we used a second-ordersurface polynomial at 12 sites to describe the discrepancies in heights between the DEM andorthometric data, and we applied the same polynomial to 6 test points using cross-validation.While the conventional and ASTER DEMs saw a decline in accuracy, the SRTM DEM sawan improvement because to the polynomial findings.
