Research Toward The Optical Equipment For An Autonomous Robot For TviV Environment
1989
The paper consists of three major parts: basic technical problems in very high power/megavolt environment, signal processing and mechanical equipment for this environment, construction of a sensor equipped robot for this environment. The first part contains mainly metrological confinements and reliability considerations for the optical, optoelectronic and electronic part of a system. The second part contains mechanics and robotics problems. The result of these two parts is a choice of a system to be realized.
Stem-injection of herbicide for control of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle: a practical source of power for drilling holes in stems
2013
Abstract: Ailanthus altissima is a well-known invasive tree in many parts of the world showing an outstanding ability to establish within woodlands and other less-disturbed habitats. Previous studies have reported that control of this species is very difficult because of its strong resprouting. Indeed, effective control can be achieved only by mechanical treatment followed by the application of a systemic herbicide. Operating drills or saws and other mechanical equipment require electric power supply which is not readily available in many invaded sites, notably shrubslands and woodlands. In two study sites, we evaluated control obtained by glyphosate through a stem-injection technique and c…
