A low-cost air quality monitoring system based on Internet of Things for smart homes
Authors: Taştan Mehmet
Published: August 2022

Global climate change and COVID-19 have changed our social and business life. People spend most of their daily lives indoors. Low-cost devices can monitor indoor air quality (IAQ) and reduce health problems caused by air pollutants. This study proposes a real-time and low-cost air quality monitoring system for smart homes based on Internet of Things (IoT). The developed IoT-based monitoring system is portable and provides users with real-time data transfer about IAQ. During the COVID-19 period, air quality data were collected from the kitchen, bedroom and balcony of their home, where a family of 5 spend most of their time. As a result of the analyzes, it has been determined that indoor particulate matter is mainly caused by outdoor infiltration and cooking emissions, and the CO2 value can rise well above the permissible health limits in case of insufficient ventilation due to night sleep activity. The obtained results show that the developed measuring devices may be suitable for measurement-based indoor air quality management. In addition, the proposed low-cost measurement system compared to existing systems; It has advantages such as modularity, scalability, low cost, portability, easy installation and open-source technologies.
Re-emergence of the infectious Monkeypox Virus amidst the coronavirus pandemic: a cause for concern?
Authors: Nazir Jatoi Hafsa , Asif Tauni Misha , Abbas Samina , Gul Ambresha , Kumar Ochani Rohan
Published: August 2022

Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, any other emerging infectious disease such as monkeypox will prove to be detrimental to the already struggling healthcare system and the economy. Recently, the WHO declared an investigation into over 31,800 suspected cases of MPXV in over 89 different countries. These recently identified cases are atypical, most (31,425 cases) being reported in non-endemic countries (82); therefore, requiring contact tracing. Additionally, haploid network mapping demonstrated an exaggerated number of single nuclear polymorphisms in exported MPXV variants as compared to local mutations. This signifies the rapid transmissibility of the virus and the need for urgent intervention. It is suggested that the media creates awareness regarding the preventative measures and risk factors of monkeypox, countries must accelerate the implementation of policies for use of the developed vaccines, and additional research must also be carried out. In our letter, we recognize the factors halting the efforts being made to curb the spread of the virus and we highlight the effects it has on the community.

The question of methods for solving one class of nonlocal heat conduction problems is considered in the paper. It is required to restore the solution using an additional condition linking the values of an unknown function at the initial and final moments of time. A theoretical analysis of the nonlocal problem has been carried out as well as the question of its correctness has been studied. A special numerical solution algorithm using the principle of contraction operator has been prposed. It is shown that the defining property is the possibility of generalizing this method to the case of an equation with an arbitrary positive coefficient specifying lateral heat transfer. Using MATLAB software package, a computer model was developed and a series of computational experiments were carried out, which have showed the high reliability of the algorithm. The software implementation of the model is available at: https://github.com/lovgager/heat
Intestinal and Tracheal Parasites of Poultry
Authors: Butcher Gary D. , Davis Michael A.
Published: August 2022

A parasite is defined as an animal or plant that derives sustenance and/or protection by living in or on another animal or plant called the host. Intestinal and tracheal parasites of poultry are commonly referred to as “worms,” although this term is technically not correct. These parasites can cause chickens in a flock to appear unthrifty, which often leads to secondary complications. In some cases, the parasites can cause mortality in the flock. Frequent inspection of the flock for signs of illness is the best management tool for identifying when these parasites are a problem. This revised 3-page fact sheet was written by Gary D. Butcher and Michael A. Davis, and published by the UF Department of Animal Sciences, February 2014.

Cattle Fencing BMP Can Reduce Phosphorus Loads from Florida Ranches
Authors: Shukla Sanjay , Graham Wendy D. , Hodges Alan , Knowles James M.
Published: August 2022

BMPs are an important tool in helping the state and individual landowners protect and enhance state’s waters. Given the water quality issues facing Lake Okeechobee and other sensitive water bodies, the importance of BMP implementation has increased since their official establishment as part of the FWRA. In order to ensure that BMPs are reducing nutrient loadings, on-farm research is needed to verify BMP effectiveness. A four-year study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the cow/calf stream fencing BMP. The study concluded that the BMP did reduce the amount of P being discharged from the ranch. This BMP should continue to be included in the cow/calf BMP manual, and, hopefully, its widespread implementation will help the state in meeting its TMDLs. This 3-page fact sheet was written by Sanjay Shukla, Wendy D. Graham, Alan Hodges, and James M. Knowles, and published by the UF Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, May 2014.

BMP-Recommended Water and Phosphorus Inputs for Tomato and Watermelon Can Reduce Environmental Losses of Phosphorus and Save Water
Authors: Shukla Sanjay , Hendricks Gregory S. , Obreza Thomas A. , Harris Willie G.
Published: August 2022

A BMP study was conducted at the research farm of the UF/IFAS Southwest Florida Research and Education Center in Immokalee, FL. The study evaluated two production systems made up of two levels of water and fertilizer inputs for tomato and watermelon production with seepage irrigation. The average water and P fertilizer rates used by growers in south Florida were contrasted with the recommended BMP rates. Applying BMP-recommended water and phosphorus (P) inputs for seepage-irrigated tomato and watermelon in Florida can reduce water use and P leaching to groundwater without adversely impacting fruit yield. However, given the adverse impacts on watermelon yield due to lower than sufficient levels of K, further research is needed to evaluate the fertilizer recommendations for watermelon, especially K2O rates, to ensure economic viability of farms. Our results showed that adoption of BMP-recommended P rates as a BMP did not reduce crop yield and improved water quality. This 4-page fact sheet was written by Sanjay Shukla, Gregory S. Hendricks, Thomas A. Obreza, and Willie G. Harris, and published by the UF Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, June 2014.

Using Multi-Sensor Soil Moisture Probes to Decide When and How Long to Run Drip Irrigation
Authors: Shukla Sanjay , Holt Nathan
Published: August 2022

With Florida’s freshwater withdrawals expected to increase by 30% from 2000 to 2030, conservation strategies must be adopted across all water use sectors, including agriculture, to meet future demand. Implementation and proper management of more efficient crop irrigation systems can create significant water savings. Drip irrigation for vegetable production in Florida has been shown to be more efficient than the seepage irrigation (20%–50% efficiency), because drip irrigation supplies water and nutrients directly to the root zone, allowing efficiencies of 80%–90% to be achieved with proper management. Without proper management, however, the use of a drip system in itself does not necessarily translate to increased water and nutrient use efficiency.

Rotala: A New Aquatic Invader in Southern Florida
Authors: Gettys Lyn A. , Della Torre Carl J.
Published: August 2022

Rotala is a relative newcomer to Florida. Since it was first found in Coral Springs in 1996, it has established large, but mostly isolated, populations throughout the southern regions of Florida. It is especially problematic in Lee and Collier Counties and along the west coast. Extremely dense submersed populations and large thick mats dominate the surface of the water, greatly reducing ecosystem services, because oxygen level and light penetration are hampered. Because the rapid and vigorous growth of rotala inhibits water flow, the ability of infested canals to function properly in flood control systems is greatly hindered. Management of this aquatic weed is a major concern for resource managers. This 4-page fact sheet was written by Lyn A. Gettys and Carl J. Della Torre III, and published by the UF Department of Agronomy, April 2014.

Published: August 2022

“You can’t get where you’re going unless you know where you are.” The ability to measure performance is a key component in all beef cow operations, and measuring production efficiency is becoming increasingly important. Regardless of size, producers must be able to identify the current status of their operation in order to make adjustments toward improvement. Identifying and culling the cows within the herd that are less efficient at producing a weaned calf in the environment and management system used on the ranch can be a powerful tool to improve the revised herd.

Because male sturgeon are harvested for meat at 2-4 years of age and females are retained for caviar production, being able to determine the sex of individual sturgeon has specific economical advantages. But it is difficult to tell females from males, especially when the fish are young (from hatch to 3 years old). This 5-page fact sheet describes the standard method and tools for determining the sex of sturgeon by direct examination of the gonad using a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Written by Frank A. Chapman and Joel P. Van Eenennaam, and published by the UF Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, November 2012.

Are Profit and Profitability the Same Thing?
Authors: Evans Edward
Published: August 2022

The terms “profit” and “profitability” are used quite frequently in everyday talk to mean the same thing. We often hear someone say “my business made a profit last year” or “my business was profitable.” But are the two statements equivalent? In this article, I’ll explain the two terms, outlining the difference between them, and discussing a few things that growers can do to improve the profitability of a farm business. This 4-page fact sheet was written by Edward Evans and published by the UF Department of Food and Resource Economics, February 2014.

How Stocking Recreational Fisheries Works (and Sometimes Does not)
Authors: Fisch Nicholas , Perry Diana , Crandall Chelsey , Trippel Nick , Camp Edward V.
Published: August 2022

Stock enhancement or “stocking” is one of the oldest, most common, and most popular ways of improving recreational fisheries. Stocking is usually supposed to increase the number of fish available for anglers to catch. Unfortunately, stocking doesn’t always do this. The reasons why it may not always work as planned relate to some important concepts of fish ecology. This publication describes those ecological concepts and then also describes the three primary “outcomes” of stocking that anglers might observe. In the end, stocking can be very effective, but only if the stocked fish survive reasonably well and don’t decrease the population of wild fish.

Spoon Test for Puréed Food
Authors: Dahl Wendy J. , Lepore Jamila R.
Published: August 2022

Puréed foods prepared for people with swallowing problems should meet the recommended textural guidelines. Proper texture is the priority when creating purées. A puréed food should have a uniform texture that is “spoon thick” and does not require chewing. It should not be too dry, sticky, lumpy, or thin. Adjustments in thickness may be made according to the individual’s specific needs. This 2-page fact sheet was written by Wendy J. Dahl and Jamila R. (Frazier) Lepore, and published by the UF Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, November 2012.

Facts about Antioxidants
Authors: Clark Kaitlin G. , Dahl Wendy J.
Published: August 2022

Our bodies are made up of cells. Chemical reactions necessary for life are constantly occurring inside our cells, and sometimes they create free radicals — highly reactive molecules that can initiate damaging chain reactions known as oxidative stress. Antioxidants can inactivate free radicals and protect our cells from oxidative stress and the damage it causes. Antioxidants also can help our immune system defend against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and some cancers. The body produces some of its own antioxidants, but eating a plant-based diet increases the level of antioxidants in our bodies. This 3-page fact sheet was written by Kaitlin G. Clark and Wendy J. Dahl, and published by the UF Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, February 2014.

Methods for Measuring Nitrogen Release from Controlled-Release Fertilizer Used for Vegetable Production
Authors: Ozores-Hampton Monica , Carson Luther C.
Published: August 2022

Enhanced-efficiency fertilizers are a group of fertilizers that reduce the risk of nutrient loss to the environment and subsequently increase fertilizer use efficiency. This increase may be accomplished through maintaining nutrients in the root zone by physical barriers, reduced solubility, or retaining nutrients in a less leachable form. This 7-page fact sheet examines laboratory, growth chamber, greenhouse, and field methods for measuring nitrogen release in controlled-release fertilizers. Written by Monica Ozores-Hampton and Luther C. Carson, and published by the UF Department of Horticultural Sciences, August 2013.

Compact Growth Habit Tomatoes
Authors: Ozores-Hampton Monica , Frasca Aline Coelho , Scott John , Hutton Samuel
Published: August 2022

Alternatives to the traditional production system that reduce production cost would be economically beneficial to the Florida tomato industry. Compact growth habit tomatoes are determinate varieties with a unique architecture that may provide the basis for a viable alternative production system for Florida. These tomatoes have low growth and spreading characteristics, forming compact plants that hold fruit above the ground on short branches. They do not require staking, tying, or pruning, so they may be used by the Florida mature-green fresh-market tomato growers to reduce labor costs. This 5-page fact sheet was written by Monica Ozores-Hampton, Aline Coelho Frasca, John Scott, and Samuel Hutton, and published by the UF Department of Horticultural Sciences, September 2013.
