Zeppo Quad Blimps

787 Words4 Pages

2. PROPOSED SOLUTION 2.1 Aerial Automated Pesticide Sprayer: AAPS is basically a blimp (zeppelin) integrated into a quad copter to spray pesticides in open fields. The main aim of this system is to reduce the ill-effects to humans, lessen the time used for spraying, use economically the pesticides and to use under any climatic conditions. Fig2. Schematic Of The Proposed Idea A Quad copter with a mechanism which can come back to its reference or initial position is used here. This increases the control of the Zeppo-quad rotor. The blimp gives the lift and the propellers take care of the steering part and the quad copter takes care of the control and also supports the lift and propelling of the Zeppo-quad rotor. The balloon is connected to the quad copter (mainly) so that the gondola (spray …show more content…

In areas where multiple cropping patterns are implemented, certain cropping patterns, or certain pest infested area alone can be targeted and commanded to be quarantined. Eg.Paddy – brown plant hopper, which produces brown circular patches of infested crops in a paddy plantation. 2) A proximity sensor can be attached in the front face of the blimp which takes a turn on encountering a sign board and thus follows a trajectory which covers the whole field area. 3) A Zeppo-quad rotor can also be used to spray liquid fertilizers over a uni-crop patterned field by just giving the length and breadth of the field and also specifying a reference

    Matheson Trucking, Inc. vs. Matheson Flight Extenders warehouse workers The discrimination case that I am discussing is the recent victory of five former and two current warehouse workers of Denver Colorado’s Matheson Flight Extenders, a branch of the Sacramento, California based-Matheson Trucking Company. This suit, stemming from incidents beginning in 2010, involved managers committing the atrocity of race discrimination, defamation of character, and demoralization. My thoughts are intense anger at the treatment of these workers. What training or ethics class, or intro to being a decent human being did these managers miss?

    There is always opposition to pesticides because of the harm that it can cause on the environment and the animals alike. Pesticides though have saved a lot of hard work for farmers over the past couple of decades because it does all the dirty work, for example, the killing of weeds and other pests. Pesticides have also saved a lot of money for farmers by preventing pests from damaging crops or taking the nutrients and water supply away from crops. (Whitford, 7) In the future we need to start to find less toxic ways to prevent pests from attacking the crops and vegetation. This would prevent a lot of the other costs associated with pesticides for example, health costs for farmers that are exposed to the toxic chemicals or the killing of the habitats in the surrounding areas.

    Monoculture refers to growing the same crop in one area of land. It is seen as the biggest simplification of modern agriculture. The plants are seen as genetically identical because they are all affected by the same thing, such as pesticides. According to Pollan, “Monoculture is at the root of virtually every problem that bedevils the modern farmer, and from which virtually every agricultural product is designed to deliver him” (225). Monoculture requires farmers to adjust their fields to many problems that will arise from their identical plants.
