transport-warehouse system for cotton

the transport of cotton bales in closed rail wagons presents severe problems when unloading, due to swelling of the bales. in order to improve productivity the bale size should be increased to 3-5 tonne, and unloading should be mechanised. two methods of unloading, using a crane mounted carriage which is brought into the wagon or using a ..

production function for cotton with dated irrigation quantities and qualities

a dynamic crop-water production function model is estimated for cotton. evapotranspiration (et) depends on soil moisture and soil salinity which in turn depend on irrigation volumes and qualities. crop yield is a function of et. a maximum likelihood approach is developed for estimating the et function when moisture and et observations are..

forecasting monthly cotton price' structural and time series approaches

this paper examines the predictive performance of structural and vector autoregressive models for forecasting monthly cotton prices. two distinct time periods were selected for testing' a period of major policy shock, and a period of more normal market conditions. the study also investigates a composite approach, using vector autoregressi..

setting up a complex data processing system in a large textile plant

summarises the edp developments in a cotton and polyester spinning and weaving plant, starting with a robotron type r21 computer in 1974, and notes the problems of converting from the dos-1 to the dos-3 operating system. notes the need for communications networks and for shop-floor data collection, refers to the use of a type ec 8404/m1 m..

from automation to robotics in the textile industry

there are two approaches conceivable for the automation of the textile industry' automation of single-purpose textile machines and their appurtenances and, on the other hand, automation by using robotics. this paper discusses which is better for the industry, while using cotton spinning mill as an example to look into the state of the art..

the combined effect of gamma -radiation and microelements on cotton seeds

a comparative study was made of the effect of gamma -radiation and copper sulfate and their combination on the germination of seeds, and the growth, development and productivity of cotton plants in vegetative and field experiments. the combined effect of the two agents was found to promote germination of seeds and to favor growth and deve..

the influence of gamma -radiation combined with zinc sulfate on cotton seeds

exposure of cotton seeds to gamma -radiation mixed with zinc sulfate immediately before sowing and beforehand and by introducing it into foodstuff during budding and blossoming was shown to accelerate the germination, growth and development of seedlings and to increase the yield and wilt resistance of the plants

image processing in measurements and analysis of foreign matter in fibre assemblies

summary form only given. a measuring system based on digital image processing has been developed and constructed. samples with certain mass are prepared and regularly distributed to cover certain area. similarly reference samples for the background fibres and for the different types of foreign matter have to be prepared and tested. there ..
