FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF STRESS STATES AND DEFORMATIONS OF CIVIL CONSTRUCTION STRUCTURES by Florin CIOFU

“…Recent data show cases in which structures of bridges, viaducts, passages have collapsed due to overload caused by congestion, heavy traffic or unfavorable weather conditions. The conceptual design of this type of civil engineering can be designed using the CATIA V5R16 program, which offers a wide range of integrated solutions to meet all aspects of design and production. …”

Visualization Platform Design and Implementation of Water Conservancy Engineering Based on UE5 by QIU Yuke, CHEN Bingqing, CHEN Jiewen

“…Given the high programming technology threshold of mainstream 3D interactive development tools and insufficient visualization application in the water conservancy business, this paper carries out visualization platform design and application.Combined with the requirements of water conservancy projects, the technical visual platform route based on the UE5 graphics engine is proposed, and the interaction function is developed by calling the encapsulated programming language module via the blueprint editor.This platform not only has exquisite and intuitive scene effects with smooth loading, but also achieves core functions such as user interface management, roaming position switching, weather and day-night adjustment, and simulation of engineering equipment operation.The application of research results in multiple water conservancy projects improves the efficiency of 3D interactive function development and the diversity of implementation methods.Meanwhile, assistance is provided for the engineering design, construction, operation, and maintenance stages, which enables the digital twin construction of water conservancy engineering.…”

New Plants for Florida: Stone Fruit by Richard L. Jones, Mary Duryea, Berry J. Treat, Wayne Sherman

“…Because of Florida’s warm climate, breeding programs for stone fruit have focused on developing “low-chill” varieties – those that can grow and produce fruit with very few hours of chilling or cold weather in the winter. Florida’s low-chill stone fruit breeding program was initiated in the early 1950s and has succeeded thanks to two plant breeders, Ralph Sharpe and Wayne Sherman. …”

Field Corn Production Problems: A Diagnostic Guide by David Wright, Jim Rich

“…These factors can be in the form of insects, diseases, nematodes and weeds (biotic); or, they can be factors such as weather, nutrients, or chemicals (abiotic). Under optimum conditions, production of field corn can exceed over 200 bushels of corn per acre; under totally unfavorable conditions, every corn plant can die. …”

ANALYSIS OF OSCILLATING ROD OF HORIZONTAL LOGARITHM PERIOD ANTENNA UNDER WRAP ICE by SONG ZongFeng, WANG ZuoXiang, GUO Wei

“…Analysis of oscillating rod of rigid structure horizontal log-periodic antenna under wrap ice was performed,due to winter weather oscillating rod is bent,somewhere in the north in February 2014.In the finite element software ANSYS platform,to wrap the ice thickness,wrap ice when wind speed is known conditions,a detailed analysis of wrapped ice of bending oscillating rod was performed.The results show that the actual thickness beyond the design wrapped ice thickness.So cause the wrap ice load and wind load area increases,beyond the oscillating rod and its cable carrying capacity,resulting in instability of the oscillating rod bent.According to the oscillating rod bent reason,in order to meet the requirements of heavy ice wrapped,the improved design of the oscillating rod was proposed.…”

A Hurricane Preparedness for Citrus Groves by Mongi Zekri, Robert R. Rouse, Jonathan H. Crane

“…The hurricane season spans from June 1 to November 30, during which all of Florida, particularly south Florida with its shallow-rooted citrus trees, faces threats from severe weather events. Strong winds can dislodge fruit from trees, while the combined effects of wind and substantial rainfall (10–20 inches) can cause severe and long-lasting damage. …”

Design of Optical Wireless Networks with Fair Traffic Flows by Artur Tomaszewski

“…The particular focus is on modelling the effect of elastic traffic flows slowing down in response to the decrease of the optical transmission systems’ capacity at bad weather conditions. A mathematical programming model of the network design problem is presented that assumes that the packet rates of elastic traffic flows decrease fairly. …”

Single image visibility restoration using optical compensation and pixel-by-pixel transmission estimation by Yan YANG, Gao-ke CHEN

“…Aiming at image degradation in hazy and sandstorm weather,an optical compensation color restoration and pixel-by-pixel transmissvity estimation algorithm was proposed.The blue light was absorbed by sandstorm particles.The color shift phenomenon could be eliminated by optical compensate method,which convert the sandstorm images into hazy images.Then the ratio relationship between the minimum channel and its Gaussian function as the transmissivity,and median filter was used to eliminate its texture effects.The depth of the restored transmissivity alternated obviously and the edge was well preserved,which did not need the time-consuming postprocessing operativity.Finally,the image was restored by the atmospheric scattering model.The experimental results show that recovered sandstorm image treatment is better,and the saturation of the haze image is appropriate,the bright area is more nature,and running time is faster.…”
