Positioning accuracy comparison of GNSS receivers used for mapping and guidance of agricultural machines
TLDR
We compare the positioning accuracy of four GNSS receivers, different for technical features and working modes: L1/L2 frequency survey-grade Real-Time Kinematic (RTK)-capable Stonex S7-G (S7); L1 frequency RTK-capable Thales MobileMapper Pro (TMMP); low-cost Quanum GPS Logger V2 (QLV2). Expand

Survey of the Mean Pressure Exerted by a Wide Range of Tractors on the Soil
In order to predict the mean pressure exerted by a vehicle tyre on the soil, in 1984 Plackett suggested measuring the contact area of a tyre on a hard surface. The model proposed by Hallonborg in… Expand
Valorisation of urban green areas for producing renewable energy and biochar as growing substrate of Sicilian aromatic and nutraceutical species in a circular economy
This work is aimed at evaluating the possible building up of a gasifier for the energy valorisation of residual biomass deriving from urban areas and their surroundings. The area and the volumes of… Expand
