Sermo Reservoir is a reservoir which was built by Indonesian Government and supported by Asian Development Bank in program Integrated Irrigation Sector Project (IISP) in 1996. Sermo Reservoir functions as a flood control, raw water source and irrigation. Changes that occur to water catchment area of the Sermo Reservoir affects its condition. Especially changes that occur in aspects of water runoff, sediment production and watershed deposition of watershed aspects which are caused by erosion in water catchment area resulting in sedimentation. Long term sedimentation causes a decrease in reservoir capacity. To overcome this problem it is necessary to estimate the sedimentation volume to determine the latest condition of the Sermo Reservoir. In this activity, volume estimation of sedimentation was conducted using RUSLE, bathymetry and sediment transport methods. The data used in this activity are the data in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In this activity, the analysis of the RUSLE method in the Ngrancah Watershed includes the factors of rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, length and slope and land cover and preservation. In addition to RUSLE, an analysis was carried out using the bathymetry method. This method calculates sedimentation based on reservoir baseline DTM data of 2017 and 2018. From the difference between both DTM epochs, obtained sediment volume and spread of Sermo Reservoir. Besides, analysis of the sediment transport method was conducted using water soil content data of 2016 which is assumed static until 2018. While analyzing with RUSLE, bathymetry and sediment transport methods using ArcGIS Software. The results of volume estimation of sedimentation using RUSLE, sediment transport and bathymetry consecutively yields 184.158,580 m3/year, 163.151,173 m3/year and 149.959,800 m3/year. Thus the estimation results of sediment thickness velocity of Sermo Reservoir using RUSLE, bathymetry and sediment transport are 8,687 mm/year, 7,790 mm/year and 7,074 mm/year. Generated volume from the methods was tested by using precision test yielding RSD 8,407 % thus classified as low accuracy. From the precision test can be concluded that sediment transport was the most precise because it has a percentage difference of -0,766 % of the average sediment volume.

Industrial Sewage

To neutralize the waste pickling solutions and rinsing water, resulting from cleaning metal products s surface of rust by acids solutions, lime is used. Being cheap, this method of sewage neutralization has considerable drawbacks. Forming in the technological pipes strong gypsum depositions and low specific productivity of the equipment for sediment dewatering are most significant of them. Characteristic of aggressive industrial sewage, formed at pickling of ferrous metals presented. Methods of elimination of drawbacks of industrial sewage neutralization by lime considered, including stabilization of neutralized industrial sewage and control of properties of the sediment formed. It was noted, that stability of the circulating water can be provided by accelerating of crystallization of the forming gypsum sediments by introducing in it fine priming powder and heating the neutralized water up to 65-70 °С followed by thermal softening of a part of circulating water, removed out of the circulating system. It was shown, that the heating of the water and the ongoing changes of the composition and properties of the sediment result in decrease of filtration resistance 2-3 folds, increase of deposition speed 3-4 folds and decrease the sediment volume 1.5-2 folds comparing with lime neutralization in cold water. Calculated dozes of lime at the heating were taken the same as at the regular lime neutralization. Elimination of the circulating water oversaturation by bi-water gypsum can be reached also by addition into the water of powder-like gypsum pulp - priming powder for microcrystals of the gypsum, followed by aeration during 30-40 min. This method was tested under industrial conditions. Technological properties of the forming sediment can be improved by sediment treatment by flocculants and preliminary heating of the neutralized water up to 65-70 °С. Control of technological properties of the sediment is done by addition of flocculants and heating of the neutralized water. Recommendations for improving operation of the neutralization facilities presented with indicating particular technological parameters of the equipment operation for sewage and sediment treatment.

Grape Yield

Grape yield estimation has traditionally been performed using manual techniques. However, these tend to be labour intensive and can be inaccurate. Computer vision techniques have therefore been developed for automated grape yield estimation. However, errors occur when grapes are occluded by leaves, other bunches, etc. Synthetic aperture radar has been investigated to allow imaging through leaves to detect occluded grapes. However, such equipment can be expensive. This paper investigates the potential for using ultrasound to image through leaves and identify occluded grapes. A highly directional low frequency ultrasonic array composed of ultrasonic air-coupled transducers and microphones is used to image grapes through leaves. A fan is used to help differentiate between ultrasonic reflections from grapes and leaves. Improved resolution and detail are achieved with chirp excitation waveforms and near-field focusing of the array. The overestimation in grape volume estimation using ultrasound reduced from 222% to 112% compared to the 3D scan obtained using photogrammetry or from 56% to 2.5% compared to a convex hull of this 3D scan. This also has the added benefit of producing more accurate canopy volume estimations which are important for common precision viticulture management processes such as variable rate applications.

AbstractNon-atherosclerotic abnormalities of vessel calibre, aneurysm and ectasia, are challenging to quantify and are often overlooked in qualitative reporting. Utilising a novel 3-dimensional (3D) quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) application, we have evaluated the characteristics of normal, diabetic and aneurysmal or ectatic coronary arteries. We selected 131 individuals under 50 years-of-age, who had undergone coronary angiography for suspected myocardial ischaemia between 1st January 2011 and 31st December 2015, at the Bristol Heart Institute, Bristol, UK. This included 42 patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries, 36 diabetic patients with unobstructed coronaries, and 53 patients with abnormal coronary dilatation (aneurysm and ectasia). A total of 1105 coronary segments were analysed using QAngio XA 3D (Research Edition, Medis medical imaging systems, Leiden, The Netherlands). The combined volume of the major coronary arteries was significantly different between each group (1240 ± 476 mm3 diabetic group, 1646 ± 391 mm3 normal group, and 2072 ± 687 mm3 abnormal group). Moreover, the combined coronary artery volumes correlated with patient body surface area (r = 0.483, p < 0.01). Inter-observer variability was assessed and intraclass correlation coefficient of the total coronary artery volume demonstrated a low variability of 3D QCA (r = 0.996, p < 0.001). Dedicated 3D QCA facilitates reproducible coronary artery volume estimation and allows discrimination of normal and diseased vessels.
