However, the method of the ortho-rectification of SAR is not available in the current remote sensing software. In this paper, the ortho-rectification of microwave remote sensing image was conducted based on GAMMA software platform and ALOS PALSAR basic data. Firstly, the simulated SAR image was generated by means of DEM (digital elevation model) and the satellite orbit parameter. Then, the registration offsets between the simulated SAR image and the real values were determined automatically using cross correlation analysis, and the polynomial models of these offsets were built accordingly. Finally, the true SAR image was resampled from the SAR with range and azimuth coordinates to one with the orthonormal map coordinates using a lookup table, which was generated by comparing the simulated and real SAR image and refined by the offsets registration polynomials. The accuracy of registration was tested by comparing with topographic map, and rectification errors were less than one pixel, which is less than 20 m.

Taking drying energy consumption and rehydration rate as dependent variable, the models were obtained by using response surface analysis of the three factors of temperature of heat pump drying, water content rate and power of microwave drying at three levels. The results of test and verification showed that all of the error between the value of models and the value of experiments was less than 5%. Base on the minimum of energy consumption, the optimized technology parameters were that the temperature of heat pump drying was 34.34°C, the water content rate at transformation point was 42.12% and the power of microwave drying was 131.69 W, respectively. Base on the maximum of rehydration rate, the optimized technology parameters were that the temperature of heat pump drying was 33.87°C, the water content rate at transformation point was 30% and the power of microwave drying was 201.43 W, respectively. Comparing the test result of heat pump combined with microwave at drying temperature of heat pump of 35°C, the water content rate at transformation point of 39% and microwave power of 252 W with that of heat pump drying test at same temperature and wind speed, it showed that the time of combination drying was shorter two-thirds than the heat pump drying. The rehydration rate of the optimized combination drying was 57.40%, and that of the heat pump drying was 39.16% at the same rehydration time of 40 min. The results also showed the rehydration rate of combined drying was increased by 46.5% compared with that of heat pump drying.

Classified basis of water flow pattern and the flow condition of pressure pipes, the differences of the operating head of drip emitters and frictional head loss flow modification, and water temperature modification of dripper discharge were studied. Then the reason for flow stance index x < 0.5 observed in hydraulic measured data of inelasticity elements was analyzed, and the method of area compensation was proposed. Results show that: 1) it's wrong that the water flow pattern in pressure pipes based on Nituradse's experimental results were applied in hydraulic calculation of micro-irrigation emitters except for microtubule drippers; 2) water temperature modification of drippers should be done for flow stance index x=1, not for x &le 0.5 not because flow state is at drag square area but because loss of pipes are presented as local loss and not for 1 > x > 0.5 respectively. The hydraulic relationship at different water temperature can be got by hydraulic experiments at corresponding water temperature for drippers of 1 > x > 0.5; 3) the way of classifying water flow pattern of drippers should be abandoned because this way just suitable for microtubule drippers cannot be applied for others; and 4) the reason for x < 0.5 of is area compensation effect, which means the area of passage decreased with water head increased, because of rapid changes for flow channel boundary and a positive correlation between the flow inertia and the water head.

Three proteases, named as SP-1, SP-2 and SP-3, respectively, were detected in red-ripe tomato fruit. All activities of these three proteases were changed during ripening and senescence. Followed by ethylene treatment, the activity of SP-2 was enhanced and the activities of SP-1 and SP-3 were showed up earlier. The opposite effects were observed by 1-methylcycloprop treatment. These results suggested that all SP-1, SP-2 and SP-3, regulated either by nature ripening or ethylene treatment, were senescence related proteases. The study provides reference for the relationship between proteases and senescence.

For guiding the work of consolidation of rural residential land, an evaluation procedure was established to list the types of consolidation model and choose the unit, and match the model with the unit subsequently. Based on the procedure, Bashan, a normal town in Chongren county, Jiangxi province, was taken as a case with the methods of overlay-operation and comprehensive evaluation. The results showed that there were four consolidation models of rural residential land in Bashan town, such as urban-rural integration model, ecological transfer model, relocation and merger model and inner optimization model. The areas under the models were 71.50, 2.67, 108.73 and 329.23 hm<sup>2</sup>, respectively. The patches of relocation and merger model were the main sources of reclamation, while the patches of urban-rural integration model and inner optimization model might be the resettled places for people lost their lands. The research on consolidation model of rural residential patch was connected with the policy of linked change of rural-urban construction land and would offer some decision support for the work of consolidation of rural residential land and the implementation of the policy.

The results showed that the area of farmland raised from 214.31 × 10<sup>4</sup> to 285.10 × 10<sup>4</sup> hm<sup>2</sup>. The reclamation ratio rose to 67.3% and the new increased land was drought land mainly. 73.64 × 10<sup>4</sup> hm<sup>2</sup> land was cultivated mainly from swamp, woodland and grassland, and the returning farmland area was only 2.84 × 10<sup>4</sup> hm<sup>2</sup>. At the same period, 58.67 × 10<sup>4</sup> hm<sup>2</sup> drought land changed to irrigated land and 9.06 × 10<sup>4</sup> hm<sup>2</sup> irrigated land changed to drought land. Irrigated land showed a pattern of concentrated distribution and the proportion of irrigated land accounted for 30.10% of the total area of farmland. More farmland increased in the east and north countries and less farmland increased in the west and south countries in the study area. Allocation optimization of water and land resources should be paid more attention in the process of agricultural development especially water conservancy construction in the future. Increasing the effective cultivated land area should be through land remediation firstly.

Assumed that the soil characteristics spatial variability can be directly reflected from the changes of infiltration coefficient, taken the border irrigation experiments conducted in Yangling District with the clay loam and sandy loam as study objects, the effects of the soil characteristics spatial variability to irrigation performance were analyzed and the changes of irrigation performance of border irrigation were revealed. Results showed that irrigation efficiency, distribution uniformity and storage efficiency decreased with the infiltration variation coefficient increased. The decrease range of the irrigation application efficiency and storage efficiency was smaller respectively compared with that of distribution uniformity. Therefore the spatial variability of soil infiltration coefficient has greater effect on distribution uniformity than the irrigation application efficiency and storage efficiency. The method proposed in this paper can much better reflect the actual irrigation performance of border irrigation and provide a proper irrigation scheme with theoretical foundation and technological support.

Different water losing conditions were simulated in the laboratory to continuously test water content of sandy soil in the plastic bottle every day. Then, the regressive function was built to describe the relationship between remaining water content in sandy soil and time. Testing Results showed that the higher the environment temperature was, the greater the rate of water loss. From the saturated water content to the wilting water content, an interval of watering could be 9 days at room temperature ((22±1)°C).The funnel-shaped bottles could delay water loss compared to straight cylinder-shaped bottles. Sand particles combined with organic fertilizers were more facilitated to conserve water than clay soil, and they could be used to adjust the rate of water loss. Field planting tests (with bottles and without bottles) confirmed its water-saving effectiveness. Due to high efficiency of water accumulation and saving, funnel-shaped bottles can benefit plants cultivation in high permeability or water-shortage area.

To overcome this problem, indexes of rotating time and the sprinkler evaluation index for variable spraying were proposed. The indexes mainly included the wetted radius reduced coefficient, the spraying shape coefficient, the uniformity coefficient, the variations of intensity coefficient and the variations of hit intensity coefficient. The fuzzy mathematics method was adopted, and the fluidic sprinkler typed BPXH20, BPY<inf>1</inf>20 and BPY<inf>2</inf>20 were evaluated with the five evaluation index factors. According to different applications of the sprinklers, the results of evaluation weights value changed by ±20% show that the evaluation weight values of the uniformity coefficient, the variations of intensity coefficient and the variations of hit intensity coefficient were very sensitive but would not impact results of the quality evaluation. It can be concluded that weight values were suitable for evaluating the variable-rate sprinklers in this paper, and the methods may be provided references for other variable-rate sprinklers.

The results showed that the positive direct current corona discharge had an excellent effect on degradation of ethylene and the Weibull model could be used to describe the discharge degradation of ethylene. The corona threhold voltage decreased with an increasing of either the air relative humidity or the air flow rate, and the operating range of voltage increased as the air relative humidity raising, yet the difference of the operating range of voltage was not obvious for the air flow rate. A quadratic model was established using a central composite rotation experimental design plan and a least squares regression to describe the relationship between the degradation rate in term of t<inf>R</inf> value(the time needed to degrade 90% of the ethylene in a concentration) of the Weibull model and the affecting parameters, and the effectiveness of this model was verified. Using this model the impact of the discharge power per unit volume, the air flow rate and the air relative humidity were discussed. This paper could provide a basis for the application of this method to degrade ethylene in fruit and vegetable cold storage and for the further studying on the plasma-driven photocatalyst hybird system.

Vibration was selected as the main factor for the experimental design, and field experiments were carried out in different stubble of crop. The results showed that the groove profile width was quite different for vibration and nonvibration operations. Subsoiling operation with vibration gave an help to form the rat way to store water, and reduce soil bulk density. Traction resistance with vibration was 6.9%-17% less than that of non-vibration, and the traction resistance was also affected by the differences of soil characteristics and land coverage conditions. The results provide a reference for further study on soil subsoiling as well as mechanical structure optimization.

The simulated head and efficiency error compared with experimental results which are tested by ministry of water resources in Tianjin were analyzed. The results showed that simulation results were affected by the mesh density, and the head and efficiency prediction errors were increased by the sparse grid in the large flow rata and small flow rata conditions, which would reach 3% or more; Predictive errors of the head for Standard k-Ε, RNG k-Ε and RSM turbulence model were 0.97%, 1.12% and 1.24% respectively, and the efficiency of errors were 2.93%, 2.49% and 2.97% under the optimal conditions, which could meet the needs of engineering applications. However, the flow field is complex because the secondary flow and cavitations exist under off-design conditions. The head maximum predictive error range of three turbulence models was 9.40%-14.30%, the efficiency was 4.48%-8.30%.

The dried samples of five different soil types in the middle and eastern China were selected to assess the quantitative estimation of SOM based on different modeling methods. First derivative, multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) and smoothing algorithms were used to preprocess the original spectra before the calibration models were developed. The results showed that different pre-processing algorithms markedly affected the accuracy of SOM calibration models. The sequence of SOM models with different pre-processing algorithms was MSC Norris-gap first derivative smoothing filter (NGFD) > MSC > Norris first derivative smoothing filter > standard normal variate (SNV) > Norris-gap second derivative smoothing filter (NGSD) > LOG > Savitzky-Golay first derivative (SGFD) > Savitzky-Golay second derivative (SGSD). The spectra processed with the combination of MSC and NGFD performed the best among all the pre-processing algorithms. In addition, the calibration model based on PLS-BPNN displayed the highest estimation accuracy with R<sup>2</sup> of 0.97 and RMSEP of 1.88, followed by PLS, SMLR and PCR, while the validation model with independent data gave R<sup>2</sup> of 0.97 and RMSEP of 1.72, respectively. These results indicated that PLS-BPNN based on MSC-NGFD spectra was a potentially optimal method for SOM estimation.

A comprehensive overview of biogas development in China, technology improvement, and related government policies were provided. The potential driving forces and constraints for its future development were also systematically analyzed. Based on the results of this study, policy suggestions were recommended for the sustainable development of China's biogas industry. The results showed that, with the development in the last 60 years, China's biogas had increased rapidly, several models in sustainable use of biogas had emerged, and the government support had largely promoted biogas development in China. Although the concerns for energy shortage and environmental protection would still drive the expansion of China's biogas in the future, the decline of backyard farming system, the shortage of household capacity in raising capital for biogas investment, and the incompleteness of biogas support policies would constrain the future development of biogas in China. Based on the results of this analysis, policy suggestions for sustainable development of China's biogas in the future were provided.

A control scheme prior controlling the temperature was designed with double limited values. Bananas were used as experiment materials for controlled atmosphere system based on liquid nitrogen injection. The results indicated that the change of oxygen level was affected significantly by container tightness. Low container tightness would increase the operation frequency of the actuator and waste liquid nitrogen. The decreased rate of oxygen level was found not distinctly affected by different packages of bananas, whether plastic crate or carton, but mainly affected by different initial temperature. High initial temperature ensured constant liquid nitrogen injection and reduced consumed time, while low intial temperature caused intermittent nitrogen injection and required extra time. This temperature prior strategy was proved stable and could serve as reference for further development of fresh-keeping transportation equipment.

Based on the derivation of the relationship between the average matrix potential suction of the wetting front and the soil sorptivity of Philip model, the simplified Green-Ampt infiltration model was proposed. Using the field observed data obtained from two loam soil fields of 222 corps in Xinjiang province, the relationships between parameters of simplified Green-Ampt model and soil physical parameters were analyzed and then the quantitative experience conversion function was constructed. Results showed that infiltration parameter A was logarithm negative correlated with initial water content, and the correlation coefficient was 0.77. A was exponential negative correlated with soil compaction and clay content, and the coefficient was 0.70 and 0.74 respectively. Saturated hydraulic conductivity K<inf>s</inf> was exponential negative correlation with soil compaction and clay content, and the coefficient was 0.74 and 0.73 respectively. High multiple linear correlation was found between A and soil physical parameters, and the correlation coefficient was 0.90. There was medium multiple linear correlation between K<inf>s</inf> and soil physical parameters, and the correlation coefficient was 0.79. The average relative error between observed data and infiltration parameters obtained by experience conversion function was about 10%. The results indicated that the simplified Green-Ampt model has certain precision in simulating the soil infiltration process.

The results showed that for single water storage pit irrigating with urea application of 1700 mg/L, soil ammonium nitrogen were mainly distributed within the range of 20-70 cm depth, the ammonium content increased gradually during 1-3days and decreased after the seventh day. The soil nitrate aggregated near the water front, the nitrification increased gradually during 1-7days after irrigating and the nitrate content increased gradually within 20-70 cm depth. The simulated results of soil water content, wetting front, ammonium and nitrate content are in proper accord with those corresponding measured data, which indicates that the soil nitrogen transformation model is accurate, and numerical solution with finite volume method is acceptable.

The failure modes of greenhouse glass under the impact of hail with different diameter were obtained. And also the failure modes of greenhouse glass with different thickness, different plane size and different constraints under the impact of hail were discussed respectively. At the same time, hail resistant behavior of greenhouse glass was evaluated. The results showed that the effects due to hail flock impacting glass plate was not equal to that due to single hail impacting glass plate. Glass plate 4 mm in thickness could nearly meet the hail resistant requirements of most glass greenhouse. It's suggested that ratio of glass plate length to its width were about 1.5. It was not reliable to improve the hail resistant behavior of greenhouse glass by regulating glass plate constraints. It should be the main aim of hail resistant design of glass greenhouse to ensure the global stability of glass plate under the impact of hail and no large cracks or debris. The fruits were useful to the hail resistant design of greenhouse.

Because the histogram method was introduced to the genetic algorithm, the optical ranges of parameters research were reduced. And the improved genetic algorithm was used to retrieve three component temperatures: vegetation, sunlit soil and shade soil temperature in the YingKe study area and three temperatures were simulated.

The experimental results demonstrated that pre-treatments had important effects on drying characteristics and color. It was found that the drilling hole pre-treatment could significantly decrease the drying time, improve drying rate and reduce red pigment loss as well as browning. Color protection was achieved by blanching line peppers at 90°C for 3 min in hot water. It was discovered that hot water blanching pre-treatment could extend drying time. Application of 110°C superheated steam blanching for 3 min could prevent browning. For all pre-drying treatments, the total drying occurred in the deceleration period.

The results showed that the peak of contact pressure was 0.5-0.6 MPa for Korla pear impacting against four counterfaces. For Korla pears against steel and plywood surfaces, the pressures tended to a normal distribution with relative small pressure area which approximated to bruising area. Additional, the 0.2-0.3 MPa pressure covered largest area and the average pressure was 0.25-0.28 MPa. In the case of pear dropping onto expanded polyethylene (EPE) and corrugated board at low impact level, the pressures did not conformed to normal distribution and the pressure area was much larger than bruise area of pear. Also, it was founded that the pressure below 0.2 MPa was in larger area and the average pressure was 0.18-0.25 MPa for pear contacts with these cushion materials. With the increasing of the impact level, the pressure area increased linearly. The average pressure changed insignificantly for pear dropped onto rigid materials but tended to increase for impacts against cushion materials when impact level was increased. The linear regress models fitted by the production of pressure area and average pressure can exactly predicate and assess Korla pear bruise area. It provides a reference for designing the mechanized and automated equipment to reduce likelihood of pear bruising occurring.

Total 194 samples were collected, the best partial least squares (PLS) model was established comparing with the different pretreatment methods. The principal component analysis (PCA) was used to extract the best principal components (PCs), and the SPA was used to extract the effective wavelengths. The best PCs and the effective wavelengths were respectively used as input variables for the PCA-LS-SVM and SPA-LS-SVM disease detection models. The validation set indicated that both models had acceptable accuracy rate, especially SPA-LS-SVM model has an accuracy rate of 95.45% in predicting fungal infections. According to the results, SPA was a powerful way for the effective wavelengths selection, and Vis/NIR spectroscopy was feasible for the identification of colletotrichum truncatum on soybean pods. There is a potential to establish an online field application of early plant disease detection based on visible and near-infrared spectroscopy.

Given the above deficiencies, two new vegetation indices, Soil Adjusted Hotspot-signature Vegetation Index (SAHVI) and Enhanced Hotspot-signature Vegetation Index (EHVI), were proposed for a better quantitative estimation of LAI. To obtain the new indices, we adjusted at-nadir Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and Soil Adujsted Vegetation Index (SAVI) to incorporate Hot-Dark Spot (HDS) index respectively that represents spatial distribution pattern of leaves. Next, the red, near-infrared, blue and green bands were exploited to calculate the respective HDS indices. Four HDS indices were compared for correlation with increasing LAI and those relatively more sensitive to LAI variability were then selected to construct SAHVI and EHVI. At last, the linear relationships between the new indices and LAI were investigated based on in-situ measurements of bi-directional reflectance and LAI from winter wheat. It was found stronger correlations between SAHVI, EHVI, NHVI and LAI than between EVI, SAVI, NDVI and LAI. Better resistance to saturation limits were both observed for SAHVI and EHVI.

Due to fluctuation and randomness of solar radiation, solar efficiency was not fully utilized and operation devices were vulnerable to damages because of unstable power supplies. In this paper, regular silicon solar batteries were studied and the intelligent detection technology based on perturbation and observation was employed to track maximum power point of silicon solar battery and applied to the solar power equipment. By comparing the traditional method and the (maximum power point tracking) MPPT method, the experiment indicated that power outputs using MPPT method improved 11% compared with that by traditional method and suppressed power supply fluctuation effectively.

A total of 8 types of muddy water with different particle size distribution (all less than 0.1 mm) were tested by short-term clogging tests. Based on these trials, the effect of two factors (sediments' diameter and muddy water concentration) on emitter's clogging were analyzed, and then the range of sensitive particle diameters and the level of sediment concentration were discussed. The results showed that the performance of emitters was greatly impacted by the sediment concentration in muddy water with sediment particle size <0.1 mm, especially when sediment concentration was greater than 1.25 g/L. This finding indicated the positive relationship between sediment concentration and the clogging process. On the other hand, the sediment particle diameter neither monotonically increased nor decreased the clogging. Emitters are prone to being clogged when particle size ranges between 0.03 and 0.04 mm. The findings from the study will be beneficial for the practical application of muddy water in drip irrigation.
