The Ideotype for Seed Size: A Model Examining the Relationship between Seed Size and Actual Yield in Pea by Jamin Smitchger, Norman F. Weeden

“…This study produced an algorithm to examine the relationship between seed size, yield, and actual yield in silico. The output of this algorithm predicted the ideotype for seed size in peas to be much lower (12.5 g./100 seeds) than the seed size of nearly all commercial varieties, indicating that efficiency in pea cropping systems could be increased by reducing seed size. …”

Kinematic synthesis of non-clutch mechanical press based on lever mechanism of the third class by V. G. Khomchenko

“…The kinematic parameters of the lever mechanism are assigned in such a way that in operating mode the law of motion of the working body of the press is close to the law of motion of the output link of the fourlink central crank-slider mechanism, and in the idle mode — the working body makes small movements (approximate stand) at full rotation of the crank. …”
