Abstract:  On studying distribution of fogdrops made by fog machine, computer can be used to analyze the images of fogdrop micrograph and obtain statistical data. Due to the optical effects, such images tend to have brighter center and darker edge, thus affecting the accuracy of statistical results. To eliminate the uneven brightness, the authors used the method of taper brightness factor to process the images. The authors applied this method in their program to deal with the micrograph of fogdrops from fog machine experiment, and obtained a uniform average brightness of image processing and accurate results. This method can also be applied to correct similar uneven brightness of center and edge in the micrograph caused by optical effects.

Abstract:  In order to improve the slow-release performance of Matrix-Based Fertilizer, ten kinds of Matrix-Based Fertilizer were made with organic and inorganic substrates. Their nitrogen releasing orders were studied by alternate leaching method in sandy pole, and the slow-release effects of ten substrates were evaluated through the parameters of Logistic equations and Unweighted Pair-Group Method Using Arithmetic Averages cluster analysis of nitrogen releasing inflection. The result showed that the dynamics of nitrogen accumulated releasing rate could be quantitatively described by four equations: the first-order Kinetics equation, Elovich equation, Parabola equation and Logistic equation. However, the imitation of Logistic equation was the best. That was to say the Logistic equation was the most practical for imitating nitrogen release mechanism of MBF. Oxidized starch and lignin were the best slow-release organic substrate and bentonite was the best inorganic one.

Abstract:  It is widely acknowledged that northern arid region is agricultural production base considered as the most promising potential area. Land potential productivity (LPP) as land essential attribute is drawing increasing attention. Based on the climate data from 1967 to 1999, soil physiochemical data and maps, with the support of geographic information system (GIS), LPP was computed according to the factors such as radiation, temperature, precipitation, and soil using mechanism method. The results show that water deficiency is the main limiting factor of climatic potential productivity, because climatic potential productivity becomes one third of light-temperature potential productivity according to water correction coefficient; the distribution characteristic of LPP is influenced by many factors, which is same as distribution characteristic of landform. The value of land potential productivity in the basin valley is the highest, and the value in mountain is the lowest.

Abstract:  Lignocellulosic structural changes of Spartina alterniflora before and after anaerobic fermentation under mesophilic conditions (35°C) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The results of SEM microphoto analysis indicated that vascular bundle in stem of S. alterniflora was easily biodegradable tissue compared with parenchyma cell. The analyses of FTIR spectra showed that ratios of the intensity of characteristic peak of lignin to that of carbohydrate for S. alterniflora after anaerobic fermentation were more than twice as much as those of the undigested one. Crystallinity index of S. alterniflora cellulose dropped from 0.510 before fermentation to 0.479 after fermentation, as indicated by XRD results. It can be concluded that the shielding effects of lignin on cellulose and hemicellulose and the crystalline cellulose are the main factors of inhibiting anaerobic bioconversion of S. alterniflora.

Abstract:  The extension theory can be used to solve the problem of recognition of the stored-grain insects that have many different features with overlapping attributes. It is necessary to determine the objective weights of the features in the classification based on extension theory, avoiding the human factor from the traditional method of expert evaluation. Two methods for constructing the fuzzy decision matrix and the mean decision matrix were put forward. Four methods for deciding objective weights of the features, namely, the methods of maximizing deviations, standard variance between-class, criteria importance through inter-criteria correlation and the entropy, were used to classify the grain-stored insects. These four methods were applied to the two extension-theory classifiers for the stored-grain insects based on two methods for constructing standard and extensional matter-element matrices. The nine species of the stored-grain insects in the grain-storage bin were automatically recognized by the classifier based on the extension theory. The results showed that the maximizing deviation method for objective weights of features based on fuzzy decision matrix was the optimum scheme, and the correct identification ratio reached 93%.

Abstract:  Polyurethane (PU) foams were successfully prepared from liquefied corn stover polyol by varying the amount of blowing agent-water. The effects of water amount on the mechanical and thermal properties of PU foams were investigated by means of universal tensile machine, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that with an increase of water amount, tensile strength and elongation rate at break of the PU foams first increased and then decreased, their maximum values reached 1.87 MPa and 189.7% respectively. Furthermore, with an increase of water amount, the initial decomposition temperature decreased, glass transition temperature increased and the range of glass transition temperature expanded. The properties of PU foams can be changed by varying the amount of water.

Abstract:  According to the mower continuous roll in the sloped area, the finite element model was developed based on the nonlinear finite element method, the strength analyses were performed. The force, deflection and absorbed energy were predicted and the possibility of the deformed ROPS trespassing into the clearance zone during a lateral continuous roll was also predicted. Finally, the field test was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of FE model. It shows that the results of FE model matched well with field test results. The ROPS did not intrude into the driver's survival space (Clearance Zone). The FE metod provides reliable foundation for the design of vehicle ROPS.

Abstract:  In order to investigate the theoretical foundation of irrigation method for tobacco production with water saving and quality regulating, the effect of alternate partial root-zone irrigation (APRI) on leaf physiological characteristics, water use and main quality indices of flue-cured tobacco during different growth stages under two fertilization levels was studied in a pot experiment. Results showed that APRI could regulate stomatal opening, reduce stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and water consumption of flue-cured tobacco, thus APRI could reduce irrigation water and increase water use efficiency (WUE). Compared with conventional irrigation (CI), APRI treatment during different growth stages of tobacco saved irrigation water by 10.6% under lower fertilization and 7.1% under higher fertilization, respectively. APRI also increased tobacco WUE by 2.3% under lower fertilization. APRI significantly increased K, soluble sugar and protein contents and then improved the quality of flue-cured tobacco. Compared with CI, APRI increased K and protein contents by 19.9% and 7.1% under lower fertilization, and by 29.5% and 15.1% under higher fertilization. And APRI treatment during in the root extending stage increased soluble sugar content by 17.6% and reduced the nicotine content by 25.7% under lower fertilization, respectively. Thus APRI at the root extending stage was an efficient irrigation method for tobacco production with water saving and quality regulating under lower fertilization in this study.

Abstract:  Remote sensing techniques can provide crop growth information economically, rapidly, and objectively on a large scale. It has been widely used to monitor crop diseases. In this study, four Landsat TM images were acquired in the Beijing areas in winter wheat at four stages of growth-erecting stage (Apr. 10, 2007), booting stage (Apr. 26, 2007), anthesis stage (May 12, 2007) and grain filling stage (May 28, 2007) in Beijing. At the first three stages, the relative canopy spectra were also measured. All these multi-temporal remotely sensed data were analyzed to detect and evaluate winter wheat rust stripe and powdery mildew diseases. If diseases occurred, the spectral reflectances of diseased crops at visible and short infrared regions decreased, and the spectral reflectances at near-infrared region increased due to the decrease of plant chlorophyll concentration, water content and leaf area index (LAI); In addition, the red edge position decreased, namely, " blue shift " and NDVI values also decreased. Moreover, an early yield prediction model was developed using the Landsat TM images acquired at the erecting and booting stages, and the yield loss due to diseases was evaluated by using the measured yield and the predicted yield.

Abstract:  Geomorphy is one of the key factors that affect soil erosion in Watershed. For further study on the relationship between geomorphic development and erosion sediment yield, the process of geomorphic development and the variation of sediment yield were studied with generalized small watershed model by simulated rainfall experiment, high-precision photogrammetry and GIS technique. The results showed that the speed of sediment yield (Gt), sediment yield intensity of rainfall (Gp) and average sediment transport intensity (M) had a tendency of increase at the beginning and then decrease along with the process of geomorphic development. Variation trends of Gp and M turned from increase to decrease at critical ground fracture degree (about 32%) and critical relative watershed volume (about 65%). This critical phenomenon is very important for studying geomorphic development and sediment yield in depth. It also showed that ground fracture degree and relative watershed volume could be considered as one index of watershed development degree.

Abstract:  Over the past decades in China, the situation of farmland protection was not optimistic with economic and social overall development and acceleration of urbanization process. Some problems have been existing in the work of farmland requisition- compensation that quantity and quality of compensated land is poorer than that of requisition. Farmland classification was applied to ensure the quantity and quality of supplemental farmland and to solve the problem of national food security. Take Hubei Province as an example, the results of farmland natural quality were taken as data source and established a basic database with farmland natural quality index and areas which were based on the representative samples by stratified sampling method. Based on that research, quantity-quality convert method of supplementary farmland was studied. Average natural quality classification index was calculated by area-weighted mean model, then, conversion index calculation model was established. Finally converted relationship table for each grades of farmland was established, which can obtain the requisition-compensation balance in provincial level. The table provided theoretical basis for strict farmland management and farmland requisition-compensation balance.

Abstract:  In order to reveal the effects of soil bulk density on the soil moisture distribution and nitrogen transportation and transformation under the film hole irrigation, the indoor experiment of soil bulk density, was done and analyzed by the non-linear regression method, empirical formulas that indicates the relationship among the variable quantity and rate of soil moisture, the conversion quantity and rate of NO3--N and NH4--N, and soil bulk density, the transportation and transformation time were put forward. The results showed that correlation coefficients of empirical formulas were all bigger than 0.8200, standard errors were very small, and passed the 0.05 testing significance. So the formulas can reflect the distributing character of soil moisture and the regulation of nitrogen transportation and transformation for different soil bulk densities under the condition of film hole irrigation. This research result provides references for improving the utilization efficiency of soil moisture and nitrogen.

Abstract:  Commonly in the biomass briquetting machine, hydraulic cylinder directly impulses the covering for lock and unlock in the covering mechanism for closing and unclosing. But the unlock angle was finite in this kind of scheme. The angle might impact material feeding, and hydraulic cylinder was too big, so the structure was incompactly. Against those shortcomings, a new mechanism was designed to actualize the function. The new scheme adopted crank and rocker mechanism for lock and unlock the covering. This mechanism was powered by hydraulic cylinder. The covering would be more stable when the dead point appeared. The crank and rocker mechanism was calculated with auxiliary circle, and the model for simulation was established. The requirement of mechanism motion can be realized by simulation.

Abstract:  Hyperspectral imaging technology was attempted to detect rust in citrus in this study, and band ratio algorithm was proposed to overcome the adverse effects of uneven reflectance intensity due to curvature of spherical objects. First, Sheffield Index was used to determine two optimal bands (i.e. 625 nm and 717 nm), and the first ratio image was obtained by ratio transformation between them. Next, the optimal band with 625 nm and its neighbor band with 621 nm were performed to ratio transformation, and the second ratio image was obtained to build the mask. Then, the background noise of the first ratio image was removed by the mask. Finally, rust features on the surface of citrus were extracted by threshold segmentation and morphological image processing. The experimental results show that the rust in citrus can be detected with an accuracy of 92% by hyperspectral imaging technology and band ratio algorithm. This work demonstrates that band ratio algorithm was able to effectively reduce the adverse effects of uneven reflectance intensity, maximize the differences between bands, and improve the performance in detection of rust in citrus by hyperspetral imaging technology.

Abstract:  To create more realistic models for morphology of plant leaves, an approach to reconstructing the 3D model of a leaf blade from images is proposed in this paper. First, feature points in the edge and midrib of the leaf blade were extracted by using a corner detection algorithm, then the 3D coordinates of feature points were calculated by matching these feature points, the matching combines epipolar constraint and Sift feature descriptor. Second, the edge and midrib of the leaf surface were fitted using B-splines curve, then delaunay triangulation algorithm was used to generate a triangulate representation for the leaf blade. Finally, texture mapping was used to the geometry model for improving the appearance. Experimental results show that the model of cucumber leaf shape, reconstructed by the presented approach, is more natural and realistic.

Abstract:  In order to study the effects of tea polyphenols on the quality changes of silver carp during partially frozen storage, silver carp samples, after being gutted and washed, were given a dip treatment in 0.1% tea polyphenols solution for 90 min at 4°C. And then, they were packed in plastic trays and airproofed with Polyvinyl Dichloride (PVDC), stored at -3°C for partial freezing. The sensory scores, total bacterial count, pH values, Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (TVB-N), 2-Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) and freshness quality index (K value) were used to evaluate the fish quality. Results indicated that the total bacterial count, pH value, TVB-N, TBA, and K value of silver carp, which was processed with tea polyphenols, could be significantly restrained, and sensory scores decreased slowly as well. So it can be concluded that tea polyphenols have great effects on the inhibition of bacteria growth and anti-oxidation of fat, and thus significantly delay the spoilage of partial-frozen silver carp.

Abstract:  To solve the control problem of micro-flow or low flow on pesticide in the course of variable rate spraying, an electromechanical flow control valve was developed with a miniature pin valve, a direct current (DC) motor, and gearset. A mathematical model of transfer function and arithmetic of fuzzy control were designed for the valve. The MATLAB simulation of the fuzzy controller and a PID controller was carried out on the electromechanical flow control valve. The results show that the fuzzy control is prior to PID control in the response speed and overshoot on this valve. Steady state errors are both within ± 3%.

The residence time of the ceramic balls in the vertical descendant tube and the heat exchange coefficient were analyzed. The results of the PIV experiments show that the axial velocity of ceramic balls increases along the tube and at any position of the tube, the axial velocity near the wall of 15% radius goes up gradually until reaching the maximum velocity. The radial velocity was zero m/s except near the wall of the tube. The heat transfer experiments indicated that the heat exchange coefficients were identical at each ceramic balls mass flow. The convective heat exchange coefficients worked out with Ranz-Marshall function were less than those by theroetical methods. According to the data obtained with theroetical methods and expriments, the relationship bewteen the Nusselt number and Reyonlds number was regressed: Nup=2.0 + 2Rep0.3712Pr1/3. The coefficients obtained with the regression function increased with the increase of the air temperture and the relationship between the coefficients and air temperature was linear.

Abstract:  Technological conditions of sterilization can be controlled accurately according to compression heating characteristics of foods. Compression heating characteristics of foods were investigated by simulating low heat losses with the teflon sleeve during ultra high hydrostatic pressure processing by on-line determination of temperature. The compression heating values of foods with high fat were higher than those of food with high water at an initial temperature of 25°C and pressure treatments ranging from 100 MPa to 400 MPa. Compression heating value with high fat content decreased with the increasing pressure. Compression heating value of water increases with increasing initial temperature contrary to foods with high fat content at the temperature range of 25~35°C, and a pressure of 200 MPa. So compression heating value of foods depends on their composition. Therefore, compression heating value and thermal effects must be taken into account during the process of ultra high hydrostatic pressure sterilization so that sterilization technology and conditions can be controlled accurately.

Abstract:  Pyrolysis of cornstalk was studied by using STA449c thermogravimetric apparatus with the heating rates of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 K/min and final temperature of 1273 K. The pyrolysis process of cornstalk includes three steps: losing water and pre-pyrolysis, main pyrolysis and carbonization. As the heating rate increased, the maximum pyrolysis rate increased greatly, and the characteristic temperature became higher and the DSC curves sloped down. When heating rate was too fast, dehydration process was lagged behind. The activation energy, calculated by both integral method and differential method, was (161 ± 23) kJ/mol. With Malek method, it could be determined that pyrolysis process of cornstalk accorded with the J-M-A equation, which indicated that pyrolysis mechanism of cornstalk is random nucleation and later growth. The experimental data were simulated using MATLAB software, and the mechanism was further confirmed, finally the kinetic parameters of cornstalk pyrolysis were determined.

Abstract:  This paper is designed to study the laws of phreatic evaporation and improve the understanding to the ultimate rate and depth of phreatic evaporation. By analyzing the control conditions for establishing empirical formulae of phreatic evaporation, the calculation models for calculating the phreatic evaporation from bare land have been developed, which was based on the experimental data of phreatic evaporation on bare land at the Akesu Water Balance Experimental Station in Tarim Basin from 1990 to 1996. The results show that (1) developed calculation models are accord with the control conditions; (2) as for a given depth of groundwater table, the relation of phreatic evaporation and water surface evaporation is nonlinear and the phreatic evaporation is close to the ultimate rate when water surface evaporation reaches the infinity great; (3) the threshold of groundwater depth doesn't exist theoretically. With the reasonable construction, these models overcome the shortcomings that the phreatic evaporation is overestimated when atmosphere evaporation capacity is higher, and the phreatic evaporation increases linearly along with the water surface evaporation increases. The test results show that the calculation accuracy of the models is high and it can be applied to calculate phreatic evaporation in similar regions.

 Abstract:  The terrain three-dimensional visualization of Loess Plateau is a basal research for "Digital Loess Plateau", which can provide scientific information for research of soil and water conservation. From viewing three-dimensional scene directly in GIS (Geographic Information System) software, it cannot give enough information of interactive communication. To solve that problem, a new means to visualize real sense terrain was supposed in this paper. It combined terrain interpolation algorithm in GIS software with OpenGL programming based on MFC. With the example of Kangjiagou watershed, the contour line data were preceded in AutoCAD and ArcView software to create regular grid DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data of ASCII form. Drawing triangle strip according to those data, calculating the normal value of each point with weighted average model, setting lighting and material model, adding dynamic sky background, making wander scene and view in different directions successfully combined with interactive function, all these ways to make sure the real sense three-dimension visualization of the small watershed had implemented well.

 Abstract:  The hydrophobic enhanced biodegradable films of corn-starch, polyvinyl alcohol, epoxide-modifying polyamide (EPA), and alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) were prepared by solution casting. The dynamic contact angle and water absorption analysis show that the hydrophobility of the SP film is increased by the addition of AKD. When the content of AKD is 3.30%, the contact angle and water absorption rate of the film reaches 90° and 15.44%, respectively. EPA can improve the tensile strength obviously, while it is disadvantageous to the breaking elongation of the SP film when the content of EPA is exorbitant. X-ray diffraction indicates the compatibility between the film components is increased by the internal plasticizing effect of AKD and the crosslinking of EPA. Testing biodegradation activity shows that both St.aureus and E.coli have some biodegrading abilities on the SP films. However, the biodegradation ability of the SP films reduces with increasing of EPA content.

 Abstract:  The system-integration degree, system working efficiency and user interface of egg non-destructive detection system cannot meet the requirement of fast and accurate detection. A non-destructive detection system for eggs based on virtual instrument and artificial neural network was designed and evaluated. This system used Lab Windows/CVI as the system design platform and the neural network as the core-analysis module. This approach fully uses the advantages of both computer vision and acoustics non-destructive detection. This system realizes the amalgamation of multi-sensors in data collecting and processing. Three kinds of tests were conducted--the system static grading test, the system dynamic grading test and the system continuous dynamic test. The test results indicate this system was easy to use and provided a good graphical user interface. The system has good veracity (system continuous dynamic test result above 90%) and low un-detecting rate at high speed of the gearing machine (27 samples/min).

 Abstract:  Soil evaporation plays an important role in calculating water balance and energy balance in farmland. Soil evaporation in radish field in greenhouse was measured by Micro-lysimeter, the variation law of soil evaporation in radish field was studied, and the relationships between soil evaporation and meteorological factors, such as solar radiation, air temperature and relative humidity, were analyzed in this paper. The results showed that soil evaporation tended to decrease with days after radish sowing, accounted for 37.73%-41.71% of water consumption in the whole growth period, and there was a good exponential function relationship between soil evaporation and solar radiation, air temperature as well as relative humidity. Thus it has significant meaning to establish the optimum irrigation schedule of greenhouse radish.

 Abstract:  With the rapid development of economy, fossil fuels are becoming exhausted all over the world. Bioenergy plant cropping provides a promising approach for the mitigation of this energy crisis. However, bioenergy output is determined by the yield and combustion quality of bioenergy plants, which, in turn, are controlled by agronomic factors such as water, nutrient and harvest time. Related research on the factors affecting the production of bioenergy plants has seldom been systematically analyzed and reported in China. Based on the analyses of property, variety and combustion quality of bioenergy plants, and combined with recent related research results on bioenergy plants in China, this paper mainly discusses the effects of those agronomic affecting factors such as water, nutrient and harvest time on the yield and combustion quality, and the prospects for the exploration of bioenergy plants in China.

 Abstract:  In order to improve propolis solubility, water-soluble propolis was prepared. The influences of the type of enzyme, reaction time, reaction temperature, pH value and the mass ratio of lipase to material on propolis solubility were studied according to orthogonal experiments of lipase hydrolysis based on the single factor experiments. Antioxidant activity of water-soluble propolis was determined by α, α-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging methods, using propolis ethanolic extracts and vitamin C as references. Results from orthogonal experiments indicated that the successive order of factors affecting the propolis enzymatic solution by lipase was mass ratio of lipase to material, reaction time, pH value and reaction temperature. The optimum lipase enzymatic conditions were obtained as follows: the ratio of added lipase 11%, the reaction time 2.25 h, pH value 5.5 and the reaction temperature 40°C. Under the optimized enzymatic hydrolysis conditions, the extraction rate of flavonoid from propolis enzymatic solution was 47.35%, and the flavonoid content was 0.4025 mg/mL. The DPPH assay showed the water-soluble propolis possessed significantly higher (IC50 = 0.069 mg/mL) activity compared with vitamin C (IC50 =0.126 mg/mL), and slightly lower than that of propolis ethanolic extracts (IC50 =0.061 mg/mL). Water-soluble propolis can be prepared by lipase hydrolysis with higher antioxidant activity.

 Abstract:  The purpose of this research was to quantitatively analyze land use structure characteristics at the county scale by selecting related quantitative indices combined with GIS technology, for understanding both quantitative and spatial structure of land use. The quantitative analysis was carried out by using the cadastre data in 2002 and the land use map of 1:50000 scales in 2000 in Hanshan County, Anhui Province. The results show that quantitative analysis can agree with the practial of land use of Hanshan County. The selected indices can revealed well the basic characteristics of land use structure by making full use of their advantages respectively, especially the Gibbs-Martin index, Centralization index, Lorenz curve and Weaver-Thomas index. Further, it indicates that quantitative analysis of land use structure characteristics is feasible. It is key to correctly select related quantitative indices, including selection of quantitative indices and optimal combination. The main features of land use structure in the county can be generalized as: regional land combination type comprises arable land, forest land, unused land and water area, both arable land and forest land patches are landscape matrix, land use degree is not high and agricultural land is predominant. The topography and geomorphology pattern provides a natural foundation of land use structure in the county and there is a positive correlation to between GDP per unit area of land, population density and land use degree and location advantage of land for buildings. Demonstration analysis shows that this quantitative method can provide some references for analyzing land use structure characteristics at county scale, especially in similar regions.

 Abstract:  This study was conducted to provide a quantitative fertilization model for producing high quality tobacco leaves and reducing environmental pollution and the quality decline of tobacco leaves resulted from over-fertilization. A mathematic model for the relations of tobacco output value with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and water factors was established by the potted experiment. The interaction among factors was analyzed, the model was optimized, and the contribution ratios of soil nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were calculated. Furthermore, a fertilization model was developed and tested in a field experiment. Results show that the optimum fertilization amounts of pure nitrogen, P2O5, K2O are 4.85-5.45 g, 7.68-8.64 g, 16.17-17.95 g, respectively. The favorable soil moisture is 75.8%-80.5% in potted experiment. The recommendation amounts of pure nitrogen, P2O5, K2O based on fertilization model are 39.30- 44.16 kg/hm2, 64.30-72.34 kg/hm2, 232.77-258.41 kg/hm2, which coincide with the results of field experiment. The optimum fertilization amounts of pure nitrogen, P2O5, K2O are (42.86 ± 7.49) kg/hm2, (65.09 ± 12.58) kg/hm2, (242.68 ± 8.69) kg/hm2.

 Abstract:  In order to improve the cropland productivity in Sanjiang Plain, the spatial distribution of the low-yield cropland in Sanjiang Plain and its influence factors were analyzed with the spatial analysis method based on the MOD17A3 data set of NASA EOS/MODIS(TERRA), DEM(1:250000) data, roads, rivers, residents data, and so on. The results showed that the low-yield rate of cropland in the shady slope (32.16%) is higher than that in the sunny slope (25.49%), which showed that sunny slope was beneficial to crop growth. With the increasing of the altitude, the low-yield rate of upland field had a tendency of " low-high-low ". The highest value of low-yield rate was 39.62% and happened in the altitude zonal from 100 to 200 m. The low-yield rate of upland field and paddy field were inversely related to the distance to the residents (&le 5 km), roads(&le 3 km) and rivers(&le 12 km). The correlation coefficients of upland field low-yield rate and the distance to the residents, roads and rivers were -0.979 (p < 0.01), -0.999(p < 0.05) and -0.935 (p < 0.05). And the correlation coefficients of paddy field low-yield rate were -0.980(p < 0.01), -0.998(p < 0.05) and -0.923(p < 0.05). The study can provide scientific basis for ensuring regional agricultural production, reasonable utilization of land resource and regional sustainable development.

 Abstract:  According to the measured pressure data of the four-stroke small utility gasoline engine, the cyclical variations of the maximum pressure, the crank shaft angle at the maximum pressure, the mean indicated pressure and the largest pressure rise rate were analyzed. Meanwhile, the influences of ignition advance angle, load and rotation speed on cyclical variation were also investigated. The test results show that the coefficient of cyclical variation, at the lower rotation speed and lower load, is larger than that at the full load and rated speed. Moreover, the combustion stability of the engine can be improved when the ignition advance angle is increased properly.

 Abstract:  The pretreatment of fruits and vegetables by high-pulsed electric field (HPEF) can increase the drying rate, improve the quality of dried product and reduce energy consumption. Through the HPEF pretreatment drying test of radishes and apples, the effects of pretreatment factors, such as pulse intensity, action time and pulse number on drying rate, were investigated. This paper analyzed the relationship between HPEF parameters and drying rate at different periods based on BP neural network of L-M training method, thus established the causation between them. The results show that the effect of pulse intensity on drying rate is more significant than the effects of action time and pulse number. The simulation model of BP neural network for pretreatment drying of radishes and apples was built and compared with the measured values. The drying rate predicted by the BP neural network is close to the measured values, so BP neural network can be used to estimate the result.

 Abstract:  Based on the panel data of provincial grain production in China from 1994 to 2005, the trend of Chinese provincial grain structure variation was analyzed using the index of regional grain production advantage. The study found that Chinese provincial grain production showed a centralized trend on the province level. The indexes of regional grain production advantage of the developed provinces, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Zhejiang, decrease seriously, in contrast with the great rises in Liaoning and Jilin provinces. From regional perspectives, the gravity centers of grain production in China are transferring from the east to the central and northeast China. The driving forces of the variations can be attributed to three factors: benefits from grain plantation, household land scale, opportunity cost of agricultural labor. Although grain returns in eastern China are higher than that of other regions, smaller scale, higher opportunity cost and benefit of industrial crops bring negative influences to grain plantation of eastern China. Thus, it is necessary that grain production in eastern China decreases progressively.

 Abstract:  In order to select the feasible tillage technology in dry farming areas, the experiment was carried out to study the effects of different tillage managements on production and yield of winter wheat under dry farming field conditions. There were four tillage managements including once deep ploughing tillage, no tillage, subsoiling tillage and conventional tillage. The results showed that with no tillage and subsoiling tillage, form 0 cm to 40 cm soil layer, the soil water contents at the flowering stage and the filling stage increased by 4.13%, 6.23% and 5.50%, 9.27% according to conventional tillage, and the soil available nutrients content were significantly improved, all these indicated that no tillage and subsoiling tillage could provide good conditions for growth and development in the later stage of winter wheat. The no tillage and subsoiling tillage could increase the chlorophyll content and net photosynthesis rate in winter wheat flag leaf of the later filling stage, all these made leaf physiological function stronger in later growing period of winter wheat. So the filling rate, the post-anthesis biomass production and the grain yield of winter wheat with no tillage and subsoiling tillage were significantly higher than those with conventional tillage.

 Abstract:  The cultivated land in Poyang Lake region and its surrounding area of Jiangxi province was selected for multi-suitability evaluation by introducing the niche-fitness theory and Kriging method. The means of weighted average and limiting factor models were adopted to quantitative analyze niche-fitness and restrictive factors for rice, rape, cotton and sweet potato. The result shows that the niche-fitness value in the area is higher in general with the peak value reaching 0.9824, and habitat conditions in the region can basically meet the requirements of the crops; The farmlands of rice, rape and cotton are mainly in grade 1 and 2, which account for the area of 67%. Sweet potatoes which are grade 1 and 2 account for 56.9%. In terms of niche-fitness evaluation, area of rice ranks first with the ratio amounting to 56.1%, cotton comes the next; Total phosphorus, OM, and thickness of cultivated layer are the primary niche factors which restrict land productive potential in the area. The results provided direct application in supervision of agricultural production, and promoted reasonable utilization and scientific management of farmland.

 Abstract:  Different land use changes will lead to different environmental effects, so that how to choose the proper conversion direction of rural residential land scientifically is an important basic issue to be settled urgently for rural residential land consolidation both in practice and in theory. This issue was discussed by comparison study using the methods of landscape indexes on six land use change scenarios simulated by CA-Markov model, which represented six types of rural residential land conversion direction. As a result, it indicated that landscape effect was not so perfect when rural residential land was converted to the cultivated land or garden plots which took place often in practice at least in Beijing mountainous areas, but if it was converted according to the result of suitability evaluation or the condition of landscape matrices surrounded, a better result could be obtained. Therefore, the common deed should be appraised prudently and carefully before the practice of the rural residential land consolidation concerning the land conversion direction.

 Abstract:  Integration technology of GIS, RS and GPS were used to estimate yield of winter wheat in Yuncheng of Shanxi. The results showed that the last ten days of March were the optimum time for area estimation of winter wheat. The first and second ten days of April were the best period for estimating yield. It was more effective for information of winter wheat area extraction with TM data and information of green level extraction with AVHRR. According to the amount of NDVI, winter wheat was divided into 3 types and each type of wheat had significant different yield in different region. After analyzing the features of physical geography and key data of meteorology, a synthesis model was established based on the main factors of NDVI, temperature, and humidity.

 Abstract:  The freezing point, apparent specific heat and enthalpy of back and belly muscles from silver carp, bighead carp, common carp and grass carp during low temperature phase transition range (-40~10°C) were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Predictive models were established in order to offer theoretical foundations for freshwater fish processing, quality control and equipment design. All predictive models were well established for freshwater fish muscles during low temperature phase transition. The freezing point and apparent specific heat above the freezing point were influenced in different degrees by water content, soluble solid content, protein content and fat content. Soluble solid content and water content had significant effects on the freezing point and apparent specific heat respectively. The enthalpy and apparent specific heat below the freezing point was mainly influenced by temperature.

 Abstract:  The objectives of this paper were to coordinate the relationship of utilization and protection between urban and rural areas, and landscape and development, and to provide a good balance short cut, when the local community inhabitants determine how to choose industry behavior and protect landscape effects. Those above-mentioned aims are to be dominated by the characteristics of mountainous landscape planning in the outskirts of metropolitan, such as complex relief, special location, and demand transformation. Based on the concept of landscape coordination, basic data obtained from land use maps, TM images, topographic maps, participatory rural appraisal and field survey, were applied to design the best future landscape scenarios that carry out the coupling between landscape mosaic elements and human well-being in mountainous areas. The results show that: the future landscape scenarios emphasize the resource constraints and guide to the economic development in study site. It is in line with the past evolution of landscape patterns, and the demand for the adjustment of landscape patterns, which is suitable for the changing posture of population, rural economy, urban economy and landscape behavior. The quality adjustments of landscape scenarios focus on the connotation potential of land resources. And the relationships between the expansion of urban resident land and the reduction of rural resident land were established. The past expansion modes that were at the expense of agricultural land, in particular cultivated land, were the way from happening again. Moreover, the scales of cultivated land used as orchard land and forest land increased timely. The landscape effects of unused land are also sustained. The spatial distribution of landscape scenarios adopted the coordinating principle of subareas, in accordance with the conditions of micro-plots site. Wide valley, gentle slope or low mountains where the situations of landscape were better are oriented to the protection and natural recovery of landscape effects. Mild or heavy interference areas where the situations of landscape are sub-heathy should reconstruct the landscape pattern with the preferential protection. However, steep slope or bare soil (rock) areas where the measures of landscape effects resort to non-development is the best policy for development. The mountainous landscape planning for metropolitan outskirts must identify the evolution of the past landscape patterns to achieve the coordination among conflicts from the different interest individuals. The coordination relationship among industrial activities, landscape accessibility and ecological protection was considered as the entry point. It meets with the strategic needs of the metropolitan outskirts, which are developed into the coupling mosaic open space with the coordination between the industrial activities and landscape behavior. Under the coordination of urban and rural patterns, the research results are helpful to enrich people's awareness and understanding of the relations of industry-landscape in the metropolitan outskirts, and the multi-perspective identification is also obtained for mountainous landscape planning.

 Abstract:  Water productivity is an integrated index that evaluated agriculture production level and scientific and rationality of agricultural water. According to the data of meteorological, irrigation water use, irrigation area and crop yields of Hongshuihe irrigation districts from 1995 to 2006 in Minle County, Gansu Province, the variations of irrigation water productivity of wheat at four different scales which consist of farm scale, lateral canal scale, main canal scale and irrigation district scale were analyzed. The results indicated that the average values of irrigation water productivity of wheat calculated for different scales and different years were difference, the datum at farm scale was 1.414 kg/m3, lateral canal scale was 1.013 kg/m3, main canal scale was 1.089 kg/m3 and irrigation districts scale was 0.894 kg/m3. Also, differences of irrigation water productivity were bigger in years for different scales. The water saving irrigation project was put in practice in Hongshuihe irrigation districts in 2001. The average of irrigation water productivity of wheat was promoted obviously from 2001 to 2006 than that from 1995 to 2000. And the average from 2001 to 2006 was raised by 7.9%, 19.4%, 16.5%, 7.4%, respectively for farm scale, lateral canal scale, main canal scale and irrigation district scale, which showed that water saving was obvious benefit at lateral canal scale and main canal scale. At the same time the results also showed that water saving was considerable potential at irrigation district scale. Therefore the emphases of research works for agriculture water saving will be in irrigation district scale in the future.

 Abstract:  According to the agronomic requirements for transplanting technology for the super hybrid rice, reducing seeding rate and cultivating strong seedlings and realizing fewer seedling and bigger space planting are the key to increase yield potential in mechanized transplanting of hybrid rice. In this paper, rice seedling quality and effectiveness of mechanized transplanting of precision seed drilling and sowing were studied with super hybrid rice Liangyoupeijiu. The results showed that precision seed drilling had more uniform seed distribution, better seedling mat-formed effect and seedling quality in comparison with seed broadcasting. Precision seed drilling could reduce the rate of no-seedling in hill and the rate of injured-seedling, and improve the uniformity of seedling. The percent of one and two seedling in hill after mechanized transplanting was increased. Research shows that precision seed drilling can effectively reduce the rate of no seedling in hill and improve seedling quality and mechanized transplanting quality.

 Abstract:  In order to understand the root system distribution of Stipa bungeana in the soil profile and its influence on soil nutrients, two slopes were studied. One is a slope with 30 years growth of Stipa bungeana and the other is a bare slope land. They are all located in Shenmu experiment station of the Loess Plateau. The soil nutrients and root distribution in the soil profile were studied using picture management software and general analysis method. The results show that the root of Stipa bungeana mainly distributed in the soil profile of 0-50 cm and it could be simulated by an exponential function. The contents of organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen on the soil surface with plant root were higher than those on the soil surface without root. The organic matter, total nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen have obvious topsoil accumulation when the soil contains roots. The changes of organic matter, total nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in 0~50 cm along the depth of soil can be described by a power function, but the total phosphorus can be described by a linear function, and the changes of soil nutrients along the root length density can be described by linear function.

 Abstract:  A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the effect of operating pressure on the discharge characteristics of porous pipe as micro-irrigation laterals with different specifications. Experimental results showed that emission rates for both pipes decreased drastically during the initial test stage. Exponential relationship between emission rate and operating pressure was observed within the testing pressure range of 0~70 kPa. Minimum emission rate variation coefficients were reached for both pipes within the operating pressure range of 50~60 kPa. It can be concluded that operating pressure has significant effects on emission rate and emission uniformity of porous pipe. In general, the larger diameter pipe shows better discharge characteristics than the smaller one.

 Abstract:  The pyrolysis of walnut shell was carried out by means of the thermogravimetric method in high pure N2 atmosphere. The influences of different heating rates (5, 10, 20 and 40 K/min) on the pyrolysis process were investigated and the pyrolysis mechanism was discussed. The results show that the non-isothermal pyrolysis process of walnut shell includes three distinct stages: dehydration, fast-pyrolysis and residue slow decomposition. The second stage in which a huge amount of released volatile components caused the distinct weight loss of walnut shell played a main role in the whole process. With the increase of heating rate, the maximum decomposition rate and its corresponding temperatures of walnut shell increase. The TG curve and the peaks in DTG curve shift to higher temperatures due to the aggravating thermal lag. The pyrolysis processes are well described by the models of Jander equation and valid for diffusion control. The activation energies range from 102.28 to 117.73 kJ/mol and the pre-exponential factors vary from 4.13 × 106 to 2.42 × 108 min-1 at different heating rates.

 Abstract:  The investigation of nitrate removal in recirculating aquaculture system as a purpose, autotrophic denitrification of nitrate removal and kinetic characteristics for saline synthetic wastewater were carried out in a sulfur packed-bed reactor. The experimental results show that nitrate is effectively removed when the influent NO3--N concentration is in the range of 22.5~368 mg/L. The optimal influent loading rate in order to ensure that the removal efficiency of nitrate was higher than 95% and nitrite accumulation occurred in effluent below 1 mg/L was in the range of 0.052~1.088 kg/(m3 · d) when the water temperature was (29 ± 1)°C. The maximum nitrate volumetric removal rate of 1.65 kg/(m3 · d) was achieved at an influent loading rate of 2.171 kg/(m3 · d) with obvious nitrite accumulation in effluent reaching 28.69 mg/L. The kinetic experimental results show that the NO3--N removal rate in the reactor can be described by a half-order kinetic model for biofilms. It has been found that the half-order reaction rate constant per unit reactor volume K1/2v is 7.84~8.5 mg1/2/(L1/2 · h) and it can be successfully applied in the kinetic model for the prediction of effluent NO3--N concentration. The two groups' predictive values and actual values were analyzed by using SAS 8.0 software for ANOVA analysis. The ANOVA analysis indicates that the corresponding Pr > F values are 0.9732 and 0.8845, which proved that no significant differences exist between the predictive values and actual values of the model.

 Abstract:  In this experiment, pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd C.V.changba) fruits stored at 0°C for six months after treatment with 250 nL/L 1-MCP(1-methylcyclopropene) and non-treated fruits stored in the same conditions were used as materials to study the effects of different film packaging thickness(0.03 mm, 0.06 mm and 0.09 mm, respectly) on the injury of carbon dioxide to pears during shelf life. The results showed that the higher concentration of CO2 was the main factor to cause fruit core browning, and the CO2 concentration in packaging bags with 0.03 mm in thickness was much lower than that in any other bag of packaging with 0.06 mm or 0.09 mm in thickness(P < 0.01). Packaging film with a thickness of 0.03 mm could maintain the total polyphenol content, and decrease decay and core browning index of fruits that both treated and non-treated with 1-MCP. No significant difference occurred in the flesh whiteness between treatments of three kinds of packaging thickness during shelf life(P > 0.05); 1-MCP treatment could decrease the decay index of fruit than that of CK. No significant effects on total polyphenol content, flesh whiteness and core browning index were observed in fruits treated with 1-MCP, however.

 Abstract:  In order to evaluate the differences of rice-stem lodging resistance between controlled irrigation and regular irrigation, and seek irrigation treatment which was beneficial to rice stem lodging resistance, rice-stem was taken as the research object, and the performance of rice-stem lodging resistance was studied under different irrigation treatments. Stem coefficient was introduced, and the mechanical analysis of rice-stem was carried out. The differences of lodging resistance ability under two kinds of controlled irrigations and one kind of regular irrigation were compared. The result showed that the values of internode plumpness of rice stem under controlled irrigations were bigger than that under regular irrigation, and the values of wall thickness of rice stem under KI and KII were much superior to that under regular irrigation by 0.15 mm and 0.35 mm. It also pointed out the values of rice stem coefficient under controlled irrigations were lower than that under regular irrigation, the order was CK > KI > KII, while the order of critical force was KII > KI > CK. Therefore, the rice stem under controlled irrigation is much better at lodging resistance.

 Abstract:  The acoustic frequency technology is to treat the plant with a specific frequency sound wave. Acoustic studies have found that plants can produce low frequency sound spontaneously. With the addition of the technology, the specific frequency sounds to make a match-absorption and resonance on the target plants. Thus, the technology strengthens photosynthesis and speeds of cell split and makes plant grow and develop faster. Treated plants are blooming and bearing fruits ahead of time. Acoustic frequency technology was applied to sweet pepper, cucumber and tomato in greenhouse. Various controlled experiments were made and all results indicted that the technology could increase the output of vegetables notably, improve crops quality, strengthen the capability of disease-resistance. The yields of treated sweet pepper, cucumber and tomato were 63.05%, 67.1% and 13.2%, respectively higher than that of control group. Moreover, the incidence of treated tomato disease decreased by 6, 8, 9, 11 and 8 percentage points, respectively, including red spider, aphids, grey mold, late blight and virus disease.

 Abstract:  In arid and semiarid region, soil moisture is one of the key factors influencing plant growth. In this paper, the soil moisture in different land use types were investigated by auger in a small watershed in hilly and gully region of the Loess Plateau, China. The results showed that soil moisture in croplands was the highest, which was due to gentle slopes, terrace building and lower crop water requirements. The soil moisture in forestlands, shrub lands and grasslands were lower and had no significant difference between any two of them. The stepwise regression analysis showed that soil moistures was mainly influenced by slope gradient and soil stable infiltration rate. Furthermore, the soil moisture in grassland was also influenced by slope aspect and aboveground biomass. In conclusion, croplands can be built on gentle slopes (< 10°). In steep gradient, the vegetation building should emphasize the natural community conservation. The artificial vegetation including forest and bush can be built in small topographies with higher soil moisture such as the bottom of gully.

 Abstract:  Ultrasonic-assisted extraction of pigments from black soybean hulls was investigated. Based on the single factor experiments, the effects of different ultrasonic power, pH values and the ratios of solution to solid on the extraction yield of pigments from black soybean hulls were optimized with Response Surface Methodology (RSM). A mathematical model was established and analyzed to describe the relationships between the studied factors and the response of the total extraction yield of pigments from black soybean hulls. The optimum extraction parameters are as follows: ultrasonic power 80 W, pH1.5 and the ratio of solution to solid 30 mL/g. Under the optimum conditions, the extraction rate of pigments from black soybean hulls can reach 95.6%.

 Abstract:  Compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) have been widely used in solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity generating systems due to their simple structure without any tracking system. The reflectors of a typical ideal CPC contacts the absorber at the ends of absorber, but a gap must be left between the absorber and reflectors for practical applications due to practical requirements. In this article, three common design options of CPCs were presented and the optical losses through gaps were theoretically analyzed. A comparison of gap losses for three design options of a CPC was also made. The results showed that, for CPCs with flat absorbers, the preferable design option of gaps for minimizing optical loss was to truncate the reflectors adjacent to the absorber; for CPCs with a tubular absorber, the best way was to modify the virtual absorber of ideal CPCs to accommodate the actual tubular absorber so that a gap could be produced, the next was to truncate the reflectors near the absorber.

 Abstract:  Estimation of land surface evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the most difficult tasks in the field of hydrology and water resources. In this study, ET in the Yellow River Delta is estimated using remote sensing techniques, which own the characteristics of high efficiency, precision, large-scale and visualization. The Yellow River Delta has a specific geographic feature and it is an important petroleum production base in China. However, the health of ecosystem in this region is just enduring severe water resources stress. Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) model being an applicable model with good theoretic basis to estimate land surface ET with less meteorological data requirement, is used to estimate land surface ET in the Yellow River Delta on the basis of MODIS data. Results show that annual ET is single-peak distributed in month scale with a well seasonal variation. Spatially, ET in southern areas is generally greater than that in northern areas remarkably influenced by human-being activities. Results of water deficit analysis show that ET in spring and autumn is relatively higher than that in natural precipitation with greater irrigation requirement, and water supply in this period has greater importance for both agriculture and ecology development.

 Abstract:  With the increasing water shortage, improving water use efficiency is becoming more and more important. Reducing the transpiration of a plant is a way to reduce crop water use. Experiments were carried out. The effects of defoliation on photosynthesis, dry matter translocation, grain yield and water use efficiency (WUE) were investigated with different defoliation degrees and different soil water levels. The field experimental results show that defoliation enhanced the photosynthetic capacity of the remaining leaves. The defoliation under water deficit conditions advances dry mater translocation from the remaining leaves and the straw to the wheat grain, and the treatments of 30% and 60% defoliation increased more translocation of dry matter to the wheat grain than that of the others. The 30% and 60% defoliation treatments did not affect grain yield of the winter wheat, while the 90% defoliation under deficit conditions significantly reduced crop water use, but resulted in significant decrease of grain yield and reduced WUE. Moderate defoliation under water stress might be beneficial to crop production.

 Abstract:  There are the seeding cavities due to the low seeding number of super rice, which have influence on yield in rice. For solving the problem, seeding cavities of the super rice nursing tray were detected in continuous seeding process. The vision detection procedure was arranged between seeding and covering soil in rice seeding pipeline. The CCD(Charge Coupled Device) camera shot tray images continuously, and mask images were obtained which were consistent with the tray seeding cavities. The image information of storage buffer was achieved by reading program at certain time intervals. After the images were processed and analyzed, the position of seeding cavities were tracked and results were stored in seeding cavities database for re-seeding. The technology decreased cavities ratio of tray nursing seedlings and improved the seedling survival rate of super rice precision seeding.

 Abstract:  Cotton stalk resources are rich in Xinjiang. After pretreating, the cotton stalk can be efficiently hydrolyzed by cellulase. The treatment conditions for the pretreatment of cotton stalk by alkali and alkali/microwave were investigated for comprehensive utilization of cotton stalk waste. The contents of lignin and hemicellulose of cotton stalk were decreased by 60.42% and 35.05% at the following conditions: concentration of NaOH(2%), solid to liquid ratio(1:20), temperature(120°C), time(75 min). And they decreased by 61.31% and 44.78% after alkali/microwave pretreated for 15 min at 700 W. Microwave power has less influence on concentration of cellulose in cotton stalk and reclaim rate of carbohydrate (cellulose + hemicellulose). But it has greater influence on pretreatment time, higher power needs shorter time. Hydrolysis rate reached 20.01% after enzymic hydrolys is for 96 h by alkali pretreatment of cotton stalk. But it reached 20.05% for alkali/microwave pretreatment cotton stalk after 48-h hydrolysis.

 Abstract:  The livestock farm in Minhe, Shandong Province was the site of this study. Using methodology (ACM0010) approved by Executive Board (EB) of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change, greenhouse gas emission reduction was analyzed by improving chicken manure management on chicken farms and utilizing a biogas power generation system to supply electricity and displace electricity from a grid-based conventional energy source. The emission reduction was estimated to be 84666 t CO2 equivalent a year. The revenue from sale of electricity would be 7.67 million Yuan per year, and 5.93 million Yuan per year from sale of carbon credit. The payback period of investment would be 19.7 years if no revenue from carbon credit was included. The payback period of investment would be 6.0 years if the revenue from carbon credit was included. Therefore, construction of biogas digesters on intensive livestock farms to treat livestock manure and carry out power generation using the produced biogas can not only improve the environment, utilize renewable energy and reduce fossil fuel consumption, but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and obtain revenue from the emission reduction. The CDM project will provide additional incentives for the livestock farms to construct biogas digesters.

 Abstract:  Succinic acid is an important C4 platform chemical. Utilization of non-food biomass instead of starch for succinic acid production by fermentation does not threaten grain provisionment and can reduce the cost of substrate. Cornhusk is a kind of non-food and low-cost biomass. Cornhusk was hydrolyzed by dilute acid in this research. Optimized technical conditions for detoxification of cornhusk dilute acid hydrolysate were determined by experiments: activated carbon 1%(W/V), pH4.0, temperature 30°C, detoxification time 30min. The decoloration ratio of cornhusk hydrolysate was 92.27%. 75% of furfurol, 53% of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural and 98% of polyphenol compounds were removed, and the loss of total sugar was below 5%. In batch cultures, glucose, xylose and arabinose in cornhusk dilute acid hydrolysate after detoxification were consumed by Actinobacillus succinogenes NJ113, when the total sugar concentration was 50 g/L in medium, the final succinic acid concentration of 34.2 g/L was obtained, resulting in a succinic acid yield of 0.68 g/g and a succinic acid productivity of 0.83 g/(L · h). When the total sugar concentration was 68.2 g/L in medium, the succinic acid concentration was 42.3g/L, the yield was 0.62g/g, and productivity was 0.98 g/(L · h). The cornhusk dilute acid hydrolysate after detoxification can be the substitution of glucose as a carbon source for producing succinic acid by anaerobic fermentation.

Abstract:  With the grid sampling method, the surface and subsurface soil moisture of hilly-sloppy lands was determinated in a subtropical soil region in winter and spring. The region includes tea land, upland and forest land. Spatial structures of the soil moisture were analyzed by geostatistics method and classical statistics method. The results showed that the soil moisture of forest land was more abundant than that of tea land and upland, the coefficient of variation of soil moisture in the entire research region was much higher than that of the single land use. The surface and subsurface soil moisture had similar trends of variation in the same season. According to autocorrelation analysis, soil moisture in the entire region had markedly different variation characteristics because of different land use types. Based on strange phenomena from seim-variogram functions, the spatial variation of soil moisture in forest-upland boundary was lower than that in the other places; on the other hand, the soil moisture in the area of tea -upland boundary had no spatial correlation at all. Sample variation was found to have an anisotropy character in the whole region. With respect to influence factors, such complex distribution of soil moisture was explained by different land use types and microtopographty in winter; however, land use was the dominant factor to the variation of soil moisture in spring. The soil moisture of the whole area except tea-upland boundary had good variable and spatial continuity. So it was advisable to apply geostatistics method to study the spatial variability of soil moisture in red hilly region.

 Abstract:  In order to reduce the irrigation requirements of turfgrass species and increase the utilization ratio of precipatiation in Beijing, the study focuses on the irrigation requirements of typical cool season turfgrass species under full use of precipatiation. The datasets of two cool season turfgrass species, i.e., Kentucky bluegrass and Tall fescue collected in 2003 were used to calibrate the irrigation scheduling simulation model (ISRAEG), and then the datasets of 2004 were used to validate the ISRAEG model. Finally, the ISAREG model was used to simulate the irrigation schedules for the two cool season turfgrass species in dry, normal and wet years with different maintenance levels. The results show that the value of crop coefficient for the cool season turfgrass species in the growing season is ranged in 0.5~1.0. And the irrigation quantity required for Kentucky bluegrass and Tall fescue are 432~682 mm/a and 462~752 mm/a in the highest maintenance level, respectively. Meanwhile, the irrigation quantity required for the cool season turfgrass species are 252~432 mm/a and 312~492 mm/a in the first degree of maintenance level, respectively. The results are expected to provide some scientific implications for the best irrigation management practices of the cool season turfgrasses in Beijing area.

 Abstract:  In order to improve nitrogen and water use efficiency, effects of nitrogen fertilizer application and irrigation level on soil nitrate nitrogen accumulation and water and nitrogen use efficiency for wheat/maize intercropping were conducted in Hexi corridor of Gansu Province with three nitrogen rates (0, 225 and 450 kg/hm2) and three irrigation levels (750, 1125, 1500 m3/hm2). The results showed that irrigation level and nitrogen rate affected little on nitrate nitrogen accumulation of wheat strip, yet significantly affected maize strip. With the increase of nitrogen rate, nitrate nitrogen accumulation of maize strip increased .With the increase of irrigation level and nitrogen rate, relative nitrate nitrogen of soil in 0~60 layer increased, and that of soil in 60~140 cm decreased. Apparent nitrogen utilization rate by plant, nitrogen production rate and the ratio of output to input were the biggest at 225 kg/hm2 of nitrogen rate, but there was no significance among different irrigation levels. Water use efficiency was the highest at W750N225, and lowest at W1500N0. With the increase of irrigation level, water use efficiency decreased.

Abstract:  In order to improve farmland productivity, the temporal and spatial features of farmland productivity were analyzed in the Sanjiang Plain from 2000 to 2005 based on the MOD17A3 data of NASA EOS/MODIS (TERRA). The results showed that the average net primary productivity (NPP) of dry farmland and paddy farmland from 2000 to 2005 were 348.06 g/(m2 · a) and 339.90 g/(m2 · a), respectively. Annual NPP of both dry farmland and paddy farmland were on descending trend from 2000 to 2005. The decline rate of dry farmland was 7.2%, and the decline rate of paddy farmland was 9.9%. The analysis shows that climatic change has some influences on the change trend of farmland productivity; meanwhile, the aggravation of effects on land-use by human activities has resulted in the decline of farmland productivity. The precipitation distribution has significant effect on the spatial distribution of farmland NPP, the correlation coefficient between the NPP spatial distribution of dry farmland and paddy farmland and the precipitation distribution are 0.177 and 0.156, respectively.

 Abstract:  In order to overcome every malpractice of the previous methods for appraising paddy rice quality, based on paddy rice mechanics rheological indexes, this paper, embarking from the sample correlation matrix, analyzes fourteen main mechanical characters of seven varieties of paddy rice by the principal component analysis method. According to more than 91.1% of the cumulative variance proportion, three new independent indexes were established, which were related to the quality of paddy rice. Principal component z1, rigidity factor; principal component z2, elasticity factor; principal component z3, viscidity factor, the principal component values of varieties were obtained. Paddy rice could be classified depending on the principal component values, and the results were similar to the classified results depending on taste quality. The results of correlation analysis between the principal component and the taste quality of paddy rice show that, PRIN1 has a closely positive correlation with the taste quality, and PRIN2 has a positive correlation with the taste quality. Regression equation between taste quality and principal component was developed by using Stepwise Regression, which could be used to predict and evaluate quality of paddy rice.

 Abstract:  For industrially producing traditional artificial pickled vegetables and reducing the environment pollution from the pickling liquid, the continuous useful method of pickling liquid was studied in the semi-solid-state pure-fermentation technology for low salt pickled cucumber (Cucumis Sativus L.). Pre-dehydrated cucumber with water content of 65%~70% was fermented continuously with low-salt in anaerobic fermentation equipment. For realizing reuse of brine, brine was used as ferment to process pre-fermentation combining with pure culture of lactic aid bacteria. The results showed that the ratio 18:6:2:1 of raw materials, brine, 108 cfu/mL starter and 4% salt solution was optimized condition to reuse brine and 2.24% low-salt product was obtained. The texture of products was not significantly influenced (p > 0.01) by stirring under lower intensity (< 100 r/min), and textural hardness was kept above 1209.1 N. Yield rate was up to 115.8%. The content of Vitamin E, total ascorbic acid, protein, fat, and dietary fiber was improved via comparing with traditional technology, reaching to 3.592%, 0.601 × 10-2 mg/g, 7.843 × 10-2 mg/g, 1.991% and 0.375% respectively.

 Abstract:  Instrument has become one of the key technologies for promoting the development of science and economy on the ground that instrument plays a very important role in collecting, monitoring, managing and controlling information. A weir is often used for measuring the runoff yield of a basin in hydrology process and soil erosion. In this study, in order to auto-monitor the sediment concentration in runoff flow, a self-designed instrument was introduced which was used for auto-sampling water from the storm runoff in a small catchment. The reliability and applicability of the instrument was validated by the simulation experiment, and the average relative error was only 0.42%. In addition, compared with traditional water sampling instruments, the self-designed instrument has a higher level of automation, is more convenient and suitable for auto-sampling water from runoff in fieldwork with unattended operation. Therefore, the self-designed instrument for auto-sampling water from storm runoff has a good application prospect.

 Abstract:  An aerobic fermentation test was conducted using dairy manure and cereal husk to study the optimal fermenting technical conditions. Firstly, single factor experiment was conducted on inoculation quantity of complex microbial community, moisture content, ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C/N) and dig frequency. And then, the optimal fermenting conditions were obtained through orthogonal experiments. Secondly, the complex microbial community which contained nitrogen fixation microorganism, phosphate solubilizing microorganism and potassium dissolving microorganism, were appended in the second fermentation with inoculation quantity of 1% after 15-day main fermentation. The termination time of the second fermentation was determined by measuring the quantity variations of beneficial microorganisms. The results indicated that the optimal conditions of the main fermentation could be as follows: moisture content of 65%, ratio of carbon to nitrogen of 30:1, inoculation quantity of 3.5‰ and dig frequency of one time every four days. The main and second fermentation took 15 days and 6 days respectively. Results under the optimal fermenting conditions are as follows: materials can warm up fast and maintain a long period at a high temperature; the bioorganic fertilizer has a high degree of maturity and a short fermentation cycle; the number of effective bacteria and germination index amounts to 5.2 × 109 cfu/g and 96.8%, respectively.

 Abstract:  Optimization of the extraction of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) pupae protein was investigated using response surface methodology and central composite design. The influences of the variables of protein extraction processes were studied and the regression equation of protein extraction rate was established. Protein extraction rate was primarily affected by alkali concentration and liquid/solid ratio(P < 0.05), and was remarkably improved to 78.69% under the optimum conditions, when alkali concentration, liquid/solid ratio, temperature and NaCl concentration were 1.03%, 70:1, 50°C, and 0.070 mol/L, respectively. The protein content of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) pupae protein concentrate was 96.70%. The percentage of the total essential amino acids to the total amino acids and the ratio of the total essential amino acids to the total non-essential amino acids of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) pupae protein concentrate were 47.1% and 0.9, respectively. It suggests a potential use of this silkworm pupae protein concentrate in the food industry.

 Abstract:  The high concentration of heavy metals in wastewater sludge has limited the application of the sludge on agricultural land. Under the circumstances of high Cu content in the sludge from wastewater treatment plants in Tianjin City, the microbiological leaching experiments using ferrous sulfate and sulfur powder as the culture respectively, were performed. The results showed that Cu could be removed more efficiently using ferrous sulfate as the culture than that using sulfur powder. Using the ferrous sulfate as the culture, the effects of the dose of ferrous sulfate, sludge-inoculation ratio, pH and temperature on the removal of heavy metals were investigated. The removal efficiencies of Cu, Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn and Cd were 89%, 38%, 61%, 76%, 72% and 57%, respectively, and the corresponding residual contents in sludge were 116 mg/kg, 62.5 mg/kg, 98 mg/kg, 22 mg/kg, 174 mg/kg and 1.1 mg/kg, respectively, with 10 g/L of dose of ferrous sulfate, 20% of sludge-inoculation ratio, 28°C of temperature, and four days of biological leaching time in the batch experiments. In addition, it indicated that the activity of Thiobacillus Ferrooxidans increased and the biological leaching time shortened when the temperature rose from 7°C to 28°C. And the activity of Thiobacillus Ferrooxidans at 28°C and 35°C had little significance. The contents of heavy metals in sludge treated by biological leaching using ferrous sulfate as the substrate can meet Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges for Agricultural Use (GB4284-1984).

 Abstract:  In order to investigate the change of regional farmland water environment and its possible negative effect caused by reconstruction of water-saving in the large-scale irrigation district, the Hetao irrigation district of Inner Mongolia in the Yellow River valley for a study case was selected. Through the monitoring data of regional water and salt movement and analysis of data of many years' hydrology and groundwater in the three different scale research areas, the ANN technology (BP model and RBF model) was applied for prediction of farmland groundwater hydrology and soil water and salt movement in the three different scale research areas. Then, the movement trend of groundwater hydrology and soil water and salt contents were predicted in the Hetao Irrigation District in future different water-saving level years. Furthermore, the results of ANN model were compared with those of finite element method and hydrological budget method. As a result, the predicted results were rational and accordant. At the same time, the ANN method showed more advantage comparing with traditional method. This indicates that the ANN technology expresses prominent advantage in the prediction for the complicated system and can obtain better results. So, the ANN is suitable for regional trend estimation in the future when the influence factors are changed. Furthermore, this paper brings forward a moderate environment safety threshold about water-saving of irrigation district in the arid and soil salinization irrigation areas. This can provide instructions for macro-management and decision of reconstruction of water-saving project in the large-scale irrigation district.

 Abstract:  Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) has advantages in the following aspects: multi-spectra, multi-temporal and freely obtained. Using traditional classification methods, super-classification and vegetation index thresholds, based on MODIS data during the winter wheat regreening stage, the distribution of winter wheat area was investigated in this study. Meanwhile, aiming at the characteristics that most remote sensing pixels are mixed pixels, application of linear mixture modeling to unmixing the planting area of winter wheat was mainly studied. Comparing the precision of different classification methods for the planting area of winter wheat, using linear mixture modeling, the major part (98.45%) of the root-mean-square error is smaller than 0.01, the relative error is approximately 3% compared with the actual winter wheat field data, obviously superior to the precision of traditional remote sensing classification method.

 Abstract:  The feature extraction is a very important and difficult part for the stored-grain insect detection system based on image recognition technology. The seventeen morphological features were extracted and normalized from the binary grain-insect images. The ant colony optimization algorithm was applied to the feature extraction of the stored-grain insects, and the recognition accuracy of the z-fold cross-validation training model was acted as an important factor for the evaluation principle of the feature extraction. The algorithm extracted seven features that were composed of the optimal feature space from the 17 morphological features, such as area and perimeter. Finally, the nine species of the stored-grain insects were recognized by the support vector machine classifier, and the correct identification ratio was over 95%. The experimental results show that the feature extraction of the stored-grain insect based on ant colony optimization algorithm is practical and feasible.

 Abstract:  In order to reduce the mechanical damage of corn seeds in the threshing process and master the impact crushing mechanism of corn seeds, the impact crushing experiments on corn seeds of different varieties were conducted using the dropping impact test-bed. The mechanical properties of corn seeds of different moisture contents at different impact locations were analyzed. The experimental results showed that the maximum impact forces of corn seeds were reduced with the increasing of the moisture contents. The maximum impact forces of corn seeds at different impact locations were significantly different. At the same moisture content, the maximum impact force at ventral side of corn seed was the largest, the side of corn seed took the second place, and the force at the top surface of corn seed was the least. At the same impact location, the maximum impact forces of different varieties were different because of the internal structure and shape of corn seed. This research has important meanings for future research on mechanical properties and damage mechanism of corn seeds, and it is also useful for developing directional-feeding threshing.

 Abstract:  The values of soil erodibility K under different degradation and restoration periods were calculated by the EPIC model and the dynamic changes of soil erodibility during the process of land degradation and restoration were systematically studied. The results showed that after cultivated, soil particles developed towards coarseness and organic matter contents was decreased, while during the periods of restoration, soil erodibility was decreased with the increasing of SOM gradually. K values were closely correlated with soil phy-chemical properties, among which the organic matter content determined its erodibility fundamentally. Thus vegetation recovery and rehabilitation to improve the organic matter and promote formation of aggregates and their stability are principal countermeasures to reduce soil erodibility for the Loess Plateau.

 Abstract:  In order to search for a natural antioxidant applicable for oil, fraction with anti-lipid peroxidation (FTAP) was purified from Toona sinensis leaf extracts. Effects of pH value, heat treatment and storage time on the antioxidant activity of FTAP were investigated. The suitability of FTAP as an antioxidant in lard and vegetable oil was examined. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using linoleic acid peroxidation method. Macroporous resin was used for purifying FTAP. Content of flavonoids in FTAP was assayed with spectrophotometric method. Inhibition for linoleic acid peroxidation was emplied for monitoring antioxidation of FTAP at different pH values, heat treatment and storage duration. Peroxidation value was used as a criterion to assay antioxidant activity of FTAP in oil. LSA-10 was considered as optimal macroporous resin for FTAP. Anti-lipid peroxidation of FTAP could be correlated with content of flavonoids. The antioxidant activity of FTAP was maximum at pH 7 or pH 4 and remained unchanged at 185°C for 60 min. FTAP stored at 5°C in the dark was stable for 30 days, after that the antioxidant activity was reduced. FTAP reduced lipid peroxidation significantly in lard and vegetable oil in a dose-dependent manner, and 0.02% FTAP matched 0.02% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). FTAP is a potential source of natural antioxidants, and can be applied in oil or rich-oil foods.

 Abstract:  In order to obtain appropriate small spray droplet size spectra and increase spray droplet velocity, so as to improve pesticide spray deposition rate, a method to improve spray deposition rate using PWM-based (pulse width modulation, PWM) intermittent variable spray technology was discussed. Through four groups of comparative tests, the effects of three kinds of flow-rate control methods on spray droplet sizes and velocity were compared. The three flow-rate control methods are: 1)spray flow-rate control by changing pressure, 2)spray flow-rate control by PWM-based intermittent variable spray, and 3)spray flow-rate control by combining PWM-based intermittent variable spray, variety of nozzle size, and change of pressure. The study results show that not only can the flow-rate be controlled, but also suitable smaller droplet diameter spectra can be obtained and spray droplet velocity can be increased through adjusting spray duty cycle, spray pressure, and nozzle size using the method of PWM-based intermittent spray from enlarged nozzles operated at increased liquid pressure. Therefore, spray deposition rate could be improved.

 Abstract:  Through research on variation of wetness index over a long term, it can be under stood how the dry-humid condition has changed under global warming, to make a better assessment on agroclimatic resources and rational agroclimatic zoning. Reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) and new wetness index (w) were both calculated and analyzed according to Penman-Monteith scheme recommended by FAO with routine meteorological data from 616 weather stations in China from 1975 to 2004. In terms of grades of wetness index from Chinese Climate Classification Criterion, China is classified into severe arid, arid, semi-arid, semi-humid and humid zones, respectively, which are compared with the demarcations from rainfall-based indices in order to reveal the similarity and difference in association with the two schemes under current global climate warming. Besides, the spatio-temporal analysis of climate wetness over the country in the past thirty years was performed. The results show that the total ET0 in China ranges from 800 mm to 1600 mm on an annual basis from region to region, with the maximum (minimum) in Northwest(Northeast); P-M wetness index better expresses dry and humid conditions in China, in over-humid, over-dry and in Northeast region as well, in comparison with traditional climatic boundaries classified by isopluvials. The fluctuation in isopleth of wetness index changes among regions, more stable in the southwest, and the most unstable in the northwestern severe dry region; in the past thirty years, regions getting wet increased in number, but the degree and speed in getting arid were greater than those in getting wet, especially in the middle west part of China.

 Abstract:  In order to investigate the effect of nano-platinum (Pt) on photocatalytic degradation of ethylene in the environment of cold storage by TiO2 anchored on activated carbon fibers (TiO2/ACF). The TiO2/ACF deposited Pt (TiO2/ACF-Pt) by a vacuum ion sputter in two different sputtering ways were prepared. Effects of TiO2/ACF-Pt prepared in different sputtering ways and time on the photocatalytic degradation rate of ethylene were investigated in the simulated cold storage environment for horticultural products. Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM), Field Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscope (XPS) were used to analyze the prepared TiO2/ACF-Pt. Results showed that the kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of ethylene by TiO2/ACF desoposited Pt in the simulated cold storage environment for horticultural products could be described using the pseudo first-order equation. The prepared TiO2/ACF-Pt, in the process of which Pt was initially deposited on the surface of ACF and then TiO2 was coated, would promote the activity of ethylene decomposing. When ion sputtering time was 60 seconds (Pt/Ti atomic concentration ratio was 0.112), the apparent rate constant of the reaction of TiO2/ACF-Pt was 1.16 times as much as that of TiO2/ACF. The micrographic structure of ACF was not damaged and an excessive porous structure, which was contributive to absorbing the diluted ethylene, was obtained by the way of ion sputtering Pt.

 Abstract:  The studies on Miscanthus spp, Phragmites australis, Pennisetum are very rare. But they distribute in a large area on the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. These grasses have not fully utilized. In order to develop biomass utilization and provide another way for a better future, in order to provide experimental data for a more rational and efficient use of these grasses, this article mainly made the thermogravimetric annlysis of Miscanthus spp, Phragmites australis, Pennisetum, comparing rice straw. The pyrolysis characteristics were obtained using TG and DTG curves. A pyrolysis index, D, was used to describe the biomass pyrolysis characteristics. And kinetic parameters of biomass were also calculated by thermal analysis mathematic method. The results show that the pyrolysis process of these samples could be separated into four stages. Biomass have a shoulder volatilization peaks at about 563 K. The main weight loss occurs from 460 K to 673 K. The pyrolysis index D is Miscanthus spp gt; rice straw gt; Pennisetum gt; Phragmites australis. The activation energy is Miscanthus spp gt; rice straw gt; Pennisetum gt; Phragmites australis. The char yield is Miscanthus spp gt; Pennisetum gt; rice straw gt; Phragmites australis. Generally speaking, thermal stability of Miscanthus spp is relatively poor, Phragmites australis is relatively stable. The pyrolysis process can be described by second order reaction model,with the method of Coasts-Redfern, the activation energy and frequency factor of different kinds of floristic biomass were attained.

 Abstract:  Morphology visualization is one of the key technologies for constructing visual plants. Based on the framework of wheat morphology visualization, the 3D geometric modeling technologies of wheat organs were investigated, and the organ geometrical models were developed with characteristic architecture parameters. The model included three submodels: leaf geometry, stem geometry and wheat spike geometry submodels. The NURBS was used to simulate leaf blade and sheath, and stem geometry submodel was developed by a cylinder. The wheat spike geometry submodel was developed by means of assembling a single organ. The spike axis was simulated with a cylinder, and the spikelet was simulated with an ellipsoid and a cylinder. Based on the platform of OpenGL, the 3D morphology of organs was drawn, and the rendering models of color, texture and light were developed. By further integrating the model of topographic structure of wheat plant and the interaction among individual plants, the wheat 3D morphologies at the organ, individual and population levels were visualized on the computer. These results lay a foundation for further development of visual growth system for the wheat plant.

 Abstract:  Crop evapotranspiration provides scientific basis for rational irrigation and water resources allocation. In order to estimate the crop evapotranspiration accurately, two evapotranspiration variables of winter wheat were analyzed. One was estimated by Bowen ratio-energy balance equation (ETb), the other was measured by lysimeter (ETl). The results indicated that the variations of ETb were almost the same as those of ETl. Variations of ETb and ETl were single peak curves. Their values were bigger at noon, and smaller in the morning and evening, and negative at night. The diurnal variation of ETb was smaller than that of ETl Their diurnal variations were weakly negatively correlated with wind speed if the wind speed was small, but if the wind speed was big, the trend that ETl decreases with the increase of wind speed was obvious. The ETb was highly related to net solar radiation, while ETl was not obviously related to net solar radiation. Crop evapotranspiration estimated by Bowen ratio represents the diurnal variation more steadily.

 Abstract:  A type of semi-closed heat pump assisted fluidized bed drying system had been designed based on former grain drying experiments and theoretical researches so as to achieve the vehicle-mounted movable function. A horizontal multi-room fluidized bed was chosen as the drying chamber, and a vapor compression heat pump (R134a as refrigerant) supplied heat for the system. Latent heat of steam discharged from the fluidized bed's forepart was recovered by the heat pump evaporator, and ambient air was blown into the rear part to recover sensible heat from the post-drying grain. A mathematical model composed of flow in fluidized bed, heat and moisture transfer in grain kernel, coupling of drying process and heat pump operation had been presented according to this system. This model can predict performance parameters of the drying system under various conditions. Model results show that there is a maximum value of drying system's specific moisture extraction rate (SMER), when air temperature at the drying chamber inlet changes between 60~90°C. A prototype dryer had been installed based on the optimum design under typical weather conditions in northern china's wheat harvest season. Testing experiments show that the air temperature at the drying chamber inlet fluctuates between 64.4~71.7°C in the drying process, the fresh air ratio is about 30%, the mean coefficient of performance (COP) is 3.34, and the SMER reaches 1.935 kg/(kW · h). The model calculation is in good agreement with experimental results, and this grain dryer is significantly energy saving.

 Abstract:  The farmland classification precision depends on the PRC(productive ratio coefficient) calculation. According to the standard of the farmland classification method in China, the PRC was calculated by the rate of the base crop yeild maximum and the appointed crop yield maximum, but, for the impacts of the different PRC calculation methods on the farmland classification precision was unknown. The PRC calculation methods' improvement is base of the national farmland classification standard. In the paper, Chongming county in Shangha was taken as a case study, the other five PRC calculation methods except for the standard method were brought out, to show the impacts on the farmland classification precision. The results show that the different PRC can increase or decrease the natural quality grade, utilization grade index on the whole, but, grade spatial distribution orders of the relative farmland were the same. In the same cropping system, the six PRC calculation methods have the same impacts on the farmland classification precision, but the farmland index based on the different PRC has the same agricultural productivity.

 Abstract:  In order to determine the effects of super absorbent polymer on characteristics and dynamic changes of soil water infiltration, the dynamic changes of infiltration rates, cumulative infiltration, and wetting front of soil water under super absorbent polymer were analyzed through the lab experiments. The results showed that the influences of super absorbent polymer on infiltration rate were stable and consistent. Mixed (0-10 cm) and layered (5 cm) application of super absorbent polymer in upper soil layer would restrict soil water downward movement. After 30 minutes, the cumulative infiltration significantly decreased by 17.3%-6.6% and 5.5%-46.6% compared with the control. The restraining effect was increased with the increasing concentration of super absorbent polymer, and it was more obvious in layered application, especially in the concentration of 0.1%. Whereas, mixed (10-20 cm) and layered (10 cm and 15 cm) application of super absorbent polymer in lower soil layer had limited inhibitory effect, it reduced by 4.9%-11.9% compared with the control. While in layered application (10 cm and 15 cm) with the concentration of 0.1%, infiltration capacity of soil water would be enhanced, and the relevant cumulative infiltrations were about 1.1 times larger than the control. The water content in the soil layer with super absorbent polymer and the corresponding under soil layer would increase 1.1-1.9 times through layered application.

 Abstract:  In order to investigate the characteristics of air-velocity distribution in the air-velocity field of air-assisted sprayer and effect pattern of various factors, so as to discover its working principle, a simulating model of air-velocity distribution on Hardi LB-255 air-assisted sprayer was developed based on CFD technology. The relative errors of simulated results were confirmed through corresponding experiments on the same condition. Based on the model, the air-velocity distribution pattern and spray mechanism were also obtained. The simulated results show that inlet velocity has little effect on the distribution pattern, but the distance to sprayer center and nozzles has a great effect on it. The nozzles caused velocity fluctuation in simulating filed, but it is good at improving spray quality. Meanwhile, the simulated results were compared with the corresponding experimental data. The results of comparison show that the model can accurately predict air-velocity distribution pattern of LB-255 sprayer.

 Abstract:  Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACEI) peptides were prepared from double-low rapeseed protein by pulsed ultrasonic-assisted enzymolysis. Three reaction models, which included ultrasonic pretreatment of proteinase followed by enzymolysis (UPPE), ultrasonic pretreatment of double-low rapeseed protein solution followed by enzymolysis (UPRPE) and ultrasonic-assisted enzymolysis processes during previous period (UAE), were investigated. The inhibitory activity of hydrolysate to Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme(ACE) was the index. Traditional enzymatic hydrolysis (TE) without ultrasonic treatment was conducted as a control test. Results showed that three models all had significant effects, and UPRPE was the best. The optimum parameters of UPRPE obtained by orthogonal experiments were: ultrasonic frequency 20 kHz, ultrasonic treatment time 30 min, ultrasonic power 1250 W, on-time of the pulse 4 s and off-time 2 s. Compared with the traditional enzymatic hydrolysis, the inhibitory activity of the hydrolysate to ACE increased from 70.83% to 92.97%, ACEI peptide output raised from 29.6% to 41.4% and half inhibiting concentration IC50 value decreased from 3.57 mg/mL to 2.48 mg/mL under the optimum UPRPE conditions. These results prov that the pulsed ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis is a highly efficient method for preparing ACEI peptides from double-low rapeseed protein.

 Abstract:  How to increase biogas yield and improve the utilization efficiency of crop residues and other agricultural wastes is a major problem in modern circular agricultural field. A simulation experiment using self-designed constant-temperature anaerobic fermentation equipment was conducted in indoor conditions. Effects of different ratios of chicken manure to crop residues under different temperature on the gas production were studied. The effect of adding urea and cellulose to biogas digester was also investigated. The crop residues included rice straw, wheat straw and corn straw. Results showed that the biogas production of each treatment rose with the increase of temperature in the range of 20~35°C. The highest yield was observed when the ratio of chicken manure to straw (dry matter quantity) was 2:1 at 35°C, among which the ratio of chicken manure to corn straw at 2:1 had the maximal yield, up to 51120 mL in 50 days and the fermentation material was 2.5 kg. Both adding urea (2.5 g) and cellulose (2 g) into 2.5 kg fermentation material could significantly increase yields in the middle of fermentation, after fermentation for 28 days, the average increment was 99.8% and 40.8%, respectively. Compared with other groups, the group with the ratio of chicken manure to wheat straw at 2:1 had the highest increasing range, that is, 261.2% and 117.3%, respectively. Dynamic changes of the pH value were found at 20°C, with average pH value 6.8 at earlier fermentation stage, 6.4 at middle stage, then it slowly rose to 6.6. Therefore, suitable temperature, reasonable ratio of manure to straw as well as adding proper amount of urea and cellulose can effectively improve the biogas yield.

 Abstract:  An unsteady numerical analysis of the entire field is conducted under the design condition for centrifugal pumps with the sliding mesh technology using FLUENT, and the unsteady flow characteristics in the pump were investigated for studying the variation of pressure with the rotating impeller. The results showed that the asymmetrical and unsteady characteristics were obvious. The fluctuation of pressure on the outlet of the centrifugal pump and the inlet of blade had great influence on the performance of the centrifugal pump. On volute middle section S2 and volute outlet section S3, the fluctuation of static pressure was influenced by the relative position of blade and volute tongue, and the fluctuation of dynamic pressure was influenced by the relative position of blade and corresponding section. With the increase of volute radius, the static pressure increased and the dynamic pressure decreased. Along the circumferential direction, with the increase of angle of circumference, the static pressure increases and the dynamic pressure decreased slightly. The results were given as beneficial reference for the research of the internal flow and the reduction of cavitation, vibration and noise of centrifugal pumps.

 Abstract:  In order to explore the regulatory mechanism of high voltage electric field (HVEF) on ripening and senescence of postharvest fruit, effects of steady electric field (SEF) or alternative electric field (AEF) treatment on metabolism of active oxygen species in harvested tomato fruits were studied. Results showed that AEF treatment could reduce SOD and CAT activities of tomato fruits on initial periods of storage, delay the increase of SOD activity and decrease of CAT activity on later periods of storage. However, SEF could not significantly increase the SOD or CAT activity. Both SEF or AEF treatments delayed the appearance of POD activity peak. Higher levels of AsA and GSH contents were observed in SEF-treated fruits than those in non-SEF and non-AEF treated fruits. During storage, high electric field treatment significantly inhibited the production of H2O2 and O2- in tomato fruits.

 Abstract:  In order to satisfy the demand of fruit integrative grading by appearance quality and weight, a weighing module for fruit integrative grader was designed. The theoretical calculation formula of fruit weight was educed with the method of force analysis, and the implementing method of fruit synchronous weighing process was presented. A functional relationship equation between the equivalent mass of the fruit (w) and the A/D conversion result was achieved and calibrated with apples, and it was testified with other apples. The experimental results showed that the weighing module could cooperate with fruit grader in inspecting appearance quality and weight of fruits, and the weighing precision was about 2%.

 Abstract:  In order to know the basic physical and chemical properties of protected vegetable soils, pH and content of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorous, enzyme activity in the fluvo-aquic vegetable soil and Heijiang vegetable soils were reported. The results showed that the soil pH value was decreasing at a rate of 0.05-0.06 units per year on average. The fluvo-aquic vegetable soil had been switched from alkaline to neutral soil within 15 years, while the Heijiang vegetable soils had been transformed from neutral to acidic soil. The content of soil organic matter and total nitrogen in vegetable soils was 11.6%~62.8% higher than that of cereal crop soils. NO3-1-N was accumulated in vegetable soils, and the content of nitrate in old vegetable soils was 21.91~49.52 mg/kg and was 13-18 times higher than that in cereal crop soils. Phosphorous especially inorganic phosphorous was accumulated in plow layer. The total P content in 10-year old vegetable soils was 1000 mg/kg higher than that of cereal crop soils. The accumulation rate of P was nearly 100 mg/kg per year. Inorganic P (IP) was accumulated 1335.7 mg/kg in the top soil of 15-year old fluvo-aquic vegetable soil, while organic P was accumulated only 67.9 mg/kg, 20 times less than IP. The content of available P increased with the increase of cultivation years, and in 10-year vegetable soils, the content of available P is above 200 mg/kg, the form and content of IP was varying. The content of Ca8-P and Ca2-P was higher in fluvo-aquic vegetable s
