EditorialOpen accessAll words, across the recordProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordQuadrotor Obstacle Avoidance Based on Integral BacksteppingLianchuan Zhang, Young Baik Kim, Kil To ChongThis paper addressed obstacle avoidance problem of a quadrotor in outdoor environment. Path planning was finished by employing classical Dijkstra algorithm and the controller of the quadrotor adopted integral backstepping method. In order to get a smooth trajectory with time optimal and acceleration constraints properties, quantic polynomials were utilized to generate trajectory file. The scheme is particularly practical and useful … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 27 Jul 2016 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
