Crop weight measurement sensor for IoT based industrial greenhouse systems

ArticleNo wadays the industrial management systems are changing by means of implementing various Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, allowing a simple integration of sensor technologies with wireless communications and development of cloud based database solution s. The industrial greenhouse management systems are not the exception in this regard, as they are becoming more and more popular with the use of various sensors for the automation of the vegetable and other crop cultivation process.The general aim they hav e is to raise the level of process automation, quality, energy efficiency and other important parameters. The implemented technologies and environment of industrial greenhouse can be different fir the research type laboratories, as they are focused on prod uction, therefore this research is conducted in cooperation with tomato producing industrial greenhouse of SIA ‘ Latgales darzenu logistika ’ focusing on IoT based crop weight measurement

Development and testing results of IoT based air temperature and humidity measurement system for industrial greenhouse

ArticleIn dustrial greenhouse control systems are changing and getting new capabilities, due to the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, allowing wirelessly integrate various sensor technologies and create a cloud - based database and analytic solut ions. Greenhouse systems typically are controlled by consuming single temperature and humidity measurement unit data (treated as an average value), this raises a question about the precision of such approach for application in a large industrial greenhouse . In this article IoT based temperature and humidity measurement system uMOL architecture is described and first measurement results of multi - point data collection with high resolution compared to existing single - point measurements

COVID-19 and household energy implications: what are the main impacts on energy use?

This study explores the impacts of COVID-19 on household energy use. Some of these impacts are associated with longer-term energy demand changes and some could just be temporary. The study intends to present the results of a small pilot study conducted in China, by addressing household energy use. The samples are from 352 households and particularly focus on primary energy use in three periods of pre-pandemic (and pre-lockdown), start of COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown, and post lockdown. Each period is identified as a timeframe of 2.5 months, from November 2019 to late June 2020. The samples of this study highlight the primary implications of energy use, some that are understood as interim changes and some that may appear to be more prolonged. The results from the study highlight a variety of impacts on household energy use as well as prolonged impacts on transportation use. The primary household energy use are assessed in six fundamental elements of (1) transportation for commuting and leisure (for both private and public modes), (2) cooking, (3) entertainment, (4) heating and cooling, (5) lighting, and (6) the others. The results are summarized in three sections focused on major impacts on transportation use (comparison between private and public modes), cooking and entertainment, heating/cooling and lighting. The results could provide early suggestions for cities/regions that are experiencing longer lockdown. Furthermore, this study provides insights for larger-scale research in assessing household energy use/demand during times of health emergency and crises, such as the event of a pandemic

The reimbursement for the medical treatment expenses within the framework of Roman Partnership Agreement (

The report is the presentation of the results of research performed by the author on the primary sources of Roman law in relation to the situation regarding the reimbursement for the medical treatment within the framework of Roman Partnership (societa – Latin) Agreement. It is pointed out that a partner of Partnership was entitled to recover expenses from the fellow partner, if the expenses were due to common interests of Partnership and were the result of Partnership's business activities or related to such business activities. It is also pointed out that the Roman law had rather complicated regulating functions regarding the material responsibility of a medical practitioner, who had provided medical treatment, for the quality and results of treatment, as well as the medical practitioner's remuneration, status and privileges resulting from this status

State officials and illicit asset-grabbing: The Roman approach

The article reflects author’s findings regarding the regulation found in Roman legal sources, which is directed against corruptive activities of persons in public state positions, in particular in relation to unlawful seizure of assets belonging to citizens. Legal mechanisms are examined in relation to cases of force (vis-Latin) and fear (metus-Latin) application. The Code of Justinian (Codex Iustinianus) and The Digest (Digesta) contained regulation in relation to interpretation and application of The Julian Law on Extortion (Lex Iulia repetundarum, 59 B.C.) in cases of all types of extortion and bribery with the involvement of public office administering persons, including judges and arbitrators, are examined
