An autonomous robot for pruning modern, planar fruit trees [PDF]
Dormant pruning of fruit trees is an important task for maintaining tree health and ensuring high-quality fruit. Due to decreasing labor availability, pruning is a prime candidate for robotic automation. However, pruning also represents a uniquely difficult problem for robots, requiring robust systems for perception, pruning point determination, and ...

The Quality of Imported Fruits in China
ABSTRACTFruits are an important part of a healthy diet. This article proposes a simple derivation from the gravity models to analyze the determinants of the quality of imported fruits in China between 1987 and 2012. The results indicate that there is a trade-off between quality and quantity. Price has a significant substitution effect on quality.

Liming and postharvest quality of carambola fruits [PDF]
To determine the effects of lime application on the postharvest quality of carambola fruit, an experiment with carambola trees cultivated on an acid soil was conducted at the Bebedouro, São Paulo, Brazil. The trees were treated with increasing doses of lime during the pre-planting period.

Silicene nanosheet to discriminate the quality of pear fruit based on volatiles adsorption --- a DFT application [PDF]
We report the interaction between the silicene nanosheet (Si-NS) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from the pear fruit (Pyrus communis) in ripened and over-ripened stages using density functional theory (DFT) technique. The geometric stability of Si-NS is studied from the phonon band structure.

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...
