Using Thermal Imaging to Measure Water Stress in Creeping Bentgrass Putting Greens

Thermal imaging is a developing tool that can help turf managers reduce water consumption and improve irrigation scheduling, but in-depth studies are needed to maximize this potential. This study evaluated the ability of thermal imaging to identify water stress in a creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera ‘007’) putting green. Water use and canopy temperature (Tc) were measured for plots subjected to three levels of measured water replacement (full, half, and none) to evaluate changes over a range of soil water potentials (SWP). Water use was consistent across the irrigation treatments up to several days before observed wilt with crop coefficients (Kc) between 0.83-1.01. As drought conditions progressed (SWP c decreased. Segmented linear regression was used to quantify the trends and identify the critical value of -1501 kPa. Various metrics utilizing Tc were evaluated for a response to water stress. Two metrics, standard deviation of Tc and Tc relative to non-water stressed turf, show potential to indicate periods of stress prior to visible wilt. A strong diurnal pattern was observed in all Tc metrics confirming the need to normalize Tc for current weather conditions. Multiple regression using 2018 data was used to develop a model using weather parameters of air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, and wind speed to estimate Tc values of a non-water stressed baseline. A two parameter model using air temperature and solar radiation input provided a strong fit (adjusted R2=0.955) and when applied to unpublished dataset from a 2016 study measuring Tcon a creeping bentgrass putting green. This study shows water use remained consistent until SWP reached a wilting point, followed by a sharp decrease in water use approaching Kc of zero. We show that metrics utilizing Tc can be early indicators of water stress in turfgrass. However, further research with different microclimates and plot sizes would be needed to identify specific values of these metrics that quantify water stress. We also describe a multiple regression model to predict Tc of non-water stressed baseline under various weather conditions. Understanding how Tc of turf with no water stress behaves in different weather can improve identification of water stress. Advisor: William C. Kreuse

Evaluation of ATLHAMC12 subchannel code for total loss of flow scenario

The ALTHAMC12 subchannel code is a new subchannel code developed by the ALVEL company. The code is intended for DNBR safety analyses of the Czech nuclear power plants. In order to validate the code, a code to code comparison with THALES and VIPRE-01 is provided in this work. The reactor core model was developed and set of initial and boundary conditions has been adopted from a reference study. The comparison is done for steady state nominal parameters and Total Loss of Flow (TLOF) type of accident. The results show that ALTHAMC12 provides a good agreement with the reference codes in the terms of MDNBR value and its positions in the reactor core

Analysis of causes of inaccurate production

Téma diplomové práce se zaměřuje na neshodné kusy, které vznikají v průběhu výroby součástí. Neshodné kusy a jejich následná oprava značně zvyšuje náklady ve firmě. V jednotlivých kapitolách je rozbor dané firmy a definování kritického místa. Pro rozbor firmy byl použit ukazatel FPY, ze kterého byla zjištěna součást. Pro tuto součást byly navrhnuty tři návrhy, které sníží podíl neshodných výrobků v dané firmě. Závěr tématu předkládá zhodnocení a uskutečnění návrhu změny.The topic of the Master‘s thesis focuses on NOK pieces which are produced during the production of components. NOK pieces and their rework significantly increase the company‘s costs. In the individual chapters there is an analysis of the company and the definition of a critical point. The FPY indicator was used for the analysis of the company, from which the component was identified. Three improvement concepts have been created for this component. These concepts may reduce the rate of NOK products in the company. The conclusion of the Master‘s thesis presents the evaluation and implementation of the selected change.
