Abstract:
The paper presents a review of different sensory systems for trees’ characterization and detection in permanent crops and the detection of plant health status in crop conditions for the purpose of applying the variable application rate. The use of new technologies enables the use of variable inputs in production with the aim of increasing the economic profit and reducing the negative impact on the environment. World trends increasingly emphasize the use of various sensor systems to achieve precision agriculture and apply the following: ultrasonic sensors for the detection of permanent crops; LIDAR (optical) sensors for treetop detection and characterization; infrared sensors with similar characteristics of optical sensors, but with very low cost prices and N - sensors for variable nitric fertilization. The daily development of sensor systems applied in agricultural production improves the performance and quality of the machines they are installed on. With a more intensive use of sensors in agricultural mechanization, their price becomes more acceptable for widespread use by achieving high quality work with respect to the ecological principles of sustainable production.

Abstract:
Power-budgeting is a fundamental challenge in sensor networks today and the energy requirement of different sensing modalities is unevenly distributed. As a result, it is advisable to activate power-hungry sensors only during informative periods. Using low-power sensors, one can predict these informative periods due to strong correlations exhibited by environmental modalities. In this article, we consider an application of detecting “events” using classification based methods to increase the lifetime of the network. Specifically, we explore the problem of using low-power sensors to predict precipitation, which is one of the primary drivers of ecological activity. Such predictions can allow us to schedule the activation of expensive sensors (such as CO2) when they are most informative. In order to achieve this trade-off between power and collecting informative data, we focus our efforts on predicting/ classifying precipitation based on features extracted from inexpensive ambient temperature and barometric pressure modalities. Experimental results obtained from weather data collected over multiple years demonstrates that we can achieve accuracy towards 80% using these low-cost modalities and simple linear classifiers.

Abstract:
Due to the rapid installation of a massive number of fixed and mobile sensors, monitoring machines are intentionally or unintentionally involved in the production of a large amount of geospatial data. Environmental sensors and related software applications are rapidly altering human lifestyles and even impacting ecological and human health. However, there are rarely specific geospatial sensor web (GSW) applications for certain ecological public health questions. In this paper, we propose an ontology-driven approach for integrating intelligence to manage human and ecological health risks in the GSW. We design a Human and Ecological health Risks Ontology (HERO) based on a semantic sensor network ontology template. We also illustrate a web-based prototype, the Human and Ecological Health Risk Management System (HaEHMS), which helps health experts and decision makers to estimate human and ecological health risks. We demonstrate this intelligent system through a case study of automatic prediction of air quality and related health risk.

Abstract:
With so many people now wearing mobile devices with sensors (such as smartphones), utilizing the immense capabilities of these business mobility goods has become a prospective skill to significant behavioural and ecological sensors. A potential challenge for pervasive context assessment is opportunistic sensing, has been effectively used to a wide range of applications. The sensor cloud combines cloud technology with a wireless sensor, resulting in a scalable and cost-effective computing platform for real-time applications. Because the sensor's battery power is limited and the data centre’s servers consume a significant amount of energy to supply storage, a sensor cloud must be energy efficient. This study provides a Fog-based semantic for enabling these kinds of technologies quickly and successfully. The suggested structure is comprised of fundamental algorithms to help set up and coordinate the fog sensing jobs. It creates effective multihop routes for coordinating relevant devices and transporting acquired sensory data to fog sinks. It was claimed that energy-efficient sensor cloud approaches were categorized into different groups and that each technology was examined using numerous characteristics. The outcomes of a series of thorough test simulation in NS3 to define the practicality of the created console, as well as the proportion of each parameter utilized for each technology, are computed.

Abstract:
What role will ubiquitous sensing play in our understanding and experience of ecology in the future? What opportunities are created by weaving a continuously sampling, geographically dense web of sensors into the natural environment, from the ground up? In this article, we explore these questions holistically, and present our work on an environmental sensor network designed to support a diverse array of applications, interpretations, and artistic expressions, from primary ecological research to musical composition. Over the past four years, we have been incorporating our ubiquitous sensing framework into the design and implementation of a large-scale wetland restoration, creating a broad canvas for creative exploration at the landscape scale. The projects we present here span the development and wide deployment of custom sensor node hardware, novel web services for providing real-time sensor data to end user applications, public-facing user interfaces for open-ended exploration of the data, as well as more radical UI modalities, through unmanned aerial vehicles, virtual and augmented reality, and wearable devices for sensory augmentation. From this work, we distill the Networked Sensory Landscape, a vision for the intersection of ubiquitous computing and environmental restoration. Sensor network technologies and novel approaches to interaction promise to reshape presence, opening up sensorial connections to ecological processes across spatial and temporal scales.

Abstract:
The last decade has seen an exponential increase in the application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to ecological monitoring research, though with little standardisation or comparability in methodological approaches and research aims. We reviewed the international peer-reviewed literature in order to explore the potential limitations on the feasibility of UAV-use in the monitoring of ecological restoration, and examined how they might be mitigated to maximise the quality, reliability and comparability of UAV-generated data. We found little evidence of translational research applying UAV-based approaches to ecological restoration, with less than 7% of 2133 published UAV monitoring studies centred around ecological restoration. Of the 48 studies, > 65% had been published in the three years preceding this study. Where studies utilised UAVs for rehabilitation or restoration applications, there was a strong propensity for single-sensor monitoring using commercially available RPAs fitted with the modest-resolution RGB sensors available. There was a strong positive correlation between the use of complex and expensive sensors (e.g., LiDAR, thermal cameras, hyperspectral sensors) and the complexity of chosen image classification techniques (e.g., machine learning), suggesting that cost remains a primary constraint to the wide application of multiple or complex sensors in UAV-based research. We propose that if UAV-acquired data are to represent the future of ecological monitoring, research requires a) consistency in the proven application of different platforms and sensors to the monitoring of target landforms, organisms and ecosystems, underpinned by clearly articulated monitoring goals and outcomes; b) optimization of data analysis techniques and the manner in which data are reported, undertaken in cross-disciplinary partnership with fields such as bioinformatics and machine learning; and c) the development of sound, reasonable and multi-laterally homogenous regulatory and policy framework supporting the application of UAVs to the large-scale and potentially trans-disciplinary ecological applications of the future.

Abstract:
Biological mechanosensation has been a source of inspiration for advancements in artificial sensory systems. Animals rely on sensory feedback to guide and adapt their behaviors and are equipped with a wide variety of sensors that carry stimulus information from the environment. Hair and hair-like sensors have evolved to support survival behaviors in different ecological niches. Here, we review the diversity of biological hair and hair-like sensors across the animal kingdom and their roles in behaviors, such as locomotion, exploration, navigation, and feeding, which point to shared functional properties of hair and hair-like structures among invertebrates and vertebrates. By reviewing research on the role of biological hair and hair-like sensors in diverse species, we aim to highlight biological sensors that could inspire the engineering community and contribute to the advancement of mechanosensing in artificial systems, such as robotics.

Ecological restoration of degraded wetland ecosystem can be achieved by planning experts according to ground investigation, but with low efficiencies. We report that satellite sensors, maximizing ecosystem service values and minimizing ecological restoration cost improve ecological restoration efficiency. In particular, multi-objective linear programming (MOLIP), an optimal programming, improves ecological restoration efficiency by more than 250% in the return on investment of ecological restoration, using TM satellite as area sensors. MOLIP also enables efficient introduction of ecological restoration management without introduction of planning experts and ground investigation.

Abstract:
With the wide adoption of a shared economy, the term “share” has become closely linked with people’s daily life. To improve the economic output per unit area of farmland and allow urban residents to experience the fun of cultivating, an IOT-based multi-sensor ecological shared farmland management system is presented and designed in this paper. And an agricultural economy model that remote planting and gains sharing was also presented. This system consists of multiple sensors for data collection, automatically controlled equipment, a transport module (with a ZigBee module and a WiFi module), an app-based smart monitoring and control module and a WeChat public platform. Various information, including air temperature and humidity, soil humidity, illuminance, CO2 concentration, pH, real-time video and images, is collected for users to ensure an optimal crop growing environment via remote control and by sharing agricultural product information in harvesting seasons. Functions such as picking, leasing and transferring are implemented via the WeChat public platform. Not only is detailed information on vegetables growing in rented farmland available remotely via RFID electronic tags and multiple sensors but the real-time growing state of the planted crops is also available via camera. Control of functions such as irrigating, fertilizing and shading is also supported. The test shows that in this system, the data collected via multiple sensors are accurate; real-time information is transmitted and managed smoothly.

Abstract:
Intelligent systems for interior lighting strive to balance economical, ecological, and health-related needs. For this purpose, they rely on sensors to assess and respond to the current room conditions. With an augmented demand for more dedicated control, the number of sensors used in parallel increases considerably. In this context, the present work focuses on optical sensors with three spectral channels used to capture color-related information of the illumination conditions such as their chromaticities and correlated color temperatures. One major drawback of these devices, in particular with regard to intelligent lighting control, is that even same-type color sensors show production related differences in their color registration. Standard methods for color correction are either impractical for large-scale production or they result in large colorimetric errors. Therefore, this article shows the feasibility of a novel sensor binning approach using the sensor responses to a single white light source for cluster assignment. A cluster specific color correction is shown to significantly reduce the registered color differences for a selection of test stimuli to values in the range of 0.003–0.008 Δu′v′, which enables the wide use of such sensors in practice and, at the same time, requires minimal additional effort in sensor commissioning.

Abstract:
There is an ever-increasing need to enhance the capability of sensor technology for health, structural and environmental monitoring. One area of great concern is new strains of microbial organism and the spread of infectious diseases that requires rapid identification and detection in vivo and in vitro. Another area of major concern, worldwide, is the threat of chemical and biological terrorism. This points out onto necessity of improovement of existing and development of novel detection technologies based on nanomaterials. Nanophotonics-based sensors utilizing nanostructured multiple probes provide the ability for simultaneous detection of different biomedical and ecological objects as well as the ability for remote sensing where necessary. A useful future approach can utilize nanoscale optoelectronics with hybrid detection methods involving both photonics and electronics.

Abstract:
Nitrate determination and ion-selective electrodes, with particular emphasis on the nitrate selective electrode, are reviewed. A new electrode for nitrate has been developed, by covalent attachment of appropriate sensor groups to a robust polymer matrix, with a view to improving the lifetime and the applications of the electrode to include hostile environments. The QAS (I) were prepared as sensor materials.(1) R' = R" = R''' = ethyl(2) R' = allylR" = R''' = methyl, ethyl, propyl(3) R' = R" = allylR''' = methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl(4) R' = R" = R''' = allylX- = Cl, Br. (I) [diagram]. The production of membranes by cross-linking the sensors (I) with styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene triblock elastomer (SBS) using a free radical initiated cyclopolymerisation is described. Various methods of membrane preparation have been investigated, and a convenient one-step solvent casting procedure identified and optimised. A range of membranes has been prepared and their physical and electroanalytical properties evaluated. The cross-linked density of the polymers was calculated from swelling measurements and the Flory-Rehner equation, the extent of covalent attachment has been derived from Kjeldahl analyses. The performance of the membranes as ion-selective electrodes is presented and discussed. Several electrodes showed fast response, long lifetime and Nernstian behaviour in the range 10-1 - 10-4 mol dm-3, but their selectivity was inferior to present commercial electrodes. A number of materials were introduced as mediators in order to improve the selectivity of the membranes. A possible mediator (O-nitrophenyloctyl ether) was identified and an analogue (O-nitrophenyl-w-undecylenyl ether) prepared which had suitable functionality for covalent attachment to the polymer. Unfortunately the inclusion of this material did not improvethe selectivity to chloride and the reasons for this are discussed.

Abstract:
Pour la grande majorité des grands herbivores vivant en régions tempérées, l'hiver est la saison la plus limitante à cause des effets combinés du manque de ressources et de la sévérité des conditions climatiques. Les espèces qui ne développent pas d'adaptations morphologiques ou physiologiques particulières pour faire face à la sévérité de l'hiver doivent mettre en place des mouvements et des tactiques d'utilisation de l'espace appropriés (comme par exemple les migrations). Plus spécifiquement, ces patrons d'utilisation de l'espace peuvent émerger à différentes échelles spatio-temporelles pour permettre aux individus d'accéder aux ressources dont ils ont besoin et d'échapper aux conditions climatiques défavorables. Ainsi, ces patrons d'utilisation de l'espace déterminent le sort des individus et la dynamique des populations. Une compréhension détaillée de la relation entre les facteurs limitants durant l'hiver et la réponse des animaux en termes de mouvements est prépondérante pour préserver et gérer les populations d'ongulés sauvages avec succès, tout spécialement dans le contexte actuel de changements climatiques rapides qui induisent des modifications importantes dans le paysage et la distribution des ressources (par exemple changement de patrons de couverture neigeuse en hiver). La comparaison de tactiques de mouvements sous différents scénarios de conditions environnementales, par exemple au moyen d'analyses à vaste échelle de l'aire de distribution de l'espèce cible, représente une approche pertinente pour mieux comprendre comment les mouvements des animaux répondent aux changements dans le paysage. Le chevreuil (Capreoluscapreolus) est une espèce modèle particulièrement intéressante pour étudier ces questions parce que la distribution de cette espèce couvre la plupart des pays d'Europe, grâce à sa forte plasticité écologique
For the majority of large ungulates living in temperate regions winter is the limiting season, because of the combined effects of lack of resource availability and severity of climatic conditions. Those species that did not develop any particular morphological and physiological adaptation to cope with winter severity may adopt movement and space use tactics instead (like e.g. migration). Specifically, these space use patterns may emerge at different spatiotemporal scales to allow individuals to accede the resources they need and escape unfavourable conditions, thus determining both individual fate and population dynamics. A detailed understanding of the relationship between limiting factors in wintertime, and individual movement response, is remarkable to preserve and manage wildlife successfully, especially in the context of fast-occurring climate change that induces important alterations in landscape and resource distribution (e.g. changes of snow cover patterns). The comparison of movement tactics under different environmental scenarios, e.g. by means of large –scale analysis at the species distribution range, represents a valuable approach to work in that direction and to assess the effects of landscape alteration on individual movement. Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is an excellent model species to investigate these issues, because its distribution range covers most of Europe, thanks to its high ecological plasticity. For those populations that live in northern and mountain environments, winter is the limiting season because roe deer lack any morphological and physiological adaptations to cope with winter severity. In spite of the adoption of specific movement tactics such as partial migration from summer to winter ranges, roe deer may still face limiting conditions in some areas of the distribution range exposed to winter severity

The need for new tools to detect pollutants and of importance in the subject, electrochemical sensors are shown as a great alternative, considering its low cost, good limits of detection, and speed of analysis. An electro-spinning technique is a small fiber production technique where many possibilities for a sensor construction are offered, mainly using biodegradable polymers. This work has the objective of incorporating polymeric fibers with graphite optimized by an electrochemical technique, as well as an electrochemical sensor capable of obtaining a detection limit for the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol compound. A total of 35 experiments were carried out, using five different electrophilic techniques (needle distance to the collector, flow, tension, % of polymers, and % of graphite), as fibers as morphologically characterized using optical microscopy, SEM and a test of Wettability. For physical e structural analyzes, DSC, TGA and FTIR analyzes were performed, where it was sought to know if the incorporation of graphite into the polymer is capable of altering its structure. Then, for a sensor construction, a membrane obtained by electrospinning was then subjected to a heat treatment of 500°C for 3 hours, the powder obtained was mixed with the Nujol® wetting agent, thereby forming a uniform paste which was inserted into the End of a hypodermic plastic syringe with a silver wire for electrical contact, being manually pressed. The electrode was subjected to a characterization and an evaluation where a limit of detection was established for compound 2,4,6-TCP, in addition to a test with real samples collected in water treatment station supply. The minimum diameter obtained in the fibers was 1.49μm, using where the stress and voltage flows interacted, showing the effect of the second most significant order among all. As it analyzes morphologically revealed that a graphite incorporation has given the polymer membrane new characteristics to the surface, while as thermal analyzes show what is graphite changing a structure of the fibers when incorporated as its own. The only oxidation pic viewed with the Cyclic Voltammetry analysis characterizated the sensor containing a irreversible behavior face to 2,4,6-TCP. Based on the Square Wave Voltammetry analyzes, was obtained a detection limit for the 2,4,6-TCP of 1x10-7 mol.L-1 and showed a detection of the concentration test of 6x10-7 mol.L-1, with recovery rates of water samples between 80 and 93%, both in accordance with current Brazilian legislation.
A necessidade de novas ferramentas para detecção de poluentes é de suma importância atualmente, neste quesito, sensores eletroquímicos se mostram como uma ótima alternativa, tendo em vista seu baixo custo, bons limites de detecção, e rapidez na análise. A eletrofiação é uma técnica de produção de fibras em pequenas escalas onde muitas possiblidades para a construção de sensores são ofertadas, principalmente utilizando polímeros biodegradáveis. Este trabalho tem por objetivo obter fibras poliméricas incorporadas com grafite de forma otimizada pela técnica de eletrofiação, além de desenvolver um sensor eletroquímico capaz de obter um limite de detecção para o composto 2,4,6-Triclorofenol. Foram realizados 35 ensaios utilizando cinco diferentes parâmetros para eletrofiação (Distância da agulha ao coletor, fluxo, tensão, % de polímeros, e % de grafite), as fibras foram caracterizadas morfologicamente utilizando microscópio óptico, MEV, e um teste de molhabilidade. Para as análises físicas e estruturais, foram realizadas analises de DSC, TGA e FTIR, onde buscou-se saber se a incorporação de grafite ao polímero foi capaz de alterar sua estrutura. Depois, para a construção do sensor, a membrana obtida por eletrofiação foi então submetida a um tratamento térmico de 500°C por 3 horas, e o pó obtido foi misturado ao agente umectante Nujol®, formando assim uma pasta uniforme que foi inserida no interior da extremidade de uma seringa plástica hipodérmica com um fio de prata para o contato elétrico, sendo prensada manualmente. O eletrodo foi submetido a uma avaliação onde estabeleceu-se uma caracterização e um limite de detecção para o composto 2,4,6-TCP, além de um teste com amostras reais coletadas em estação de tratamento de águas de abastecimento. O Diâmetro mínimo obtido nas fibras foi de 1.49μm onde os parâmetros fluxo e tensão interagiram apresentando o efeito de segunda ordem mais significativo entre todos. As analises morfológicas revelaram que a incorporação de grafite concedeu a membrana polimérica novas características a superfície, enquanto que as análises térmicas mostraram que o grafite alterou a estrutura das fibras quando incorporado as mesmas. Ao obter apenas um pico de oxidação com a análise de voltametria cíclica o sensor apresentou um comportamento irreversível frente ao 2,4,6-TCP. Já com base nas análises de voltametria de onda quadrada obteve-se com o sensor um limite de detecção para 2,4,6-TCP de 1x10-7 mol.L-1 e o teste com águas de abastecimento detectou a concentração de 6x10-7 mol.L-1, com taxas de recuperação das amostras de água tratada entre 80 e 93%, ambas em concordância com a legislação brasileira vigente.

Abstract:
This thesis proposes that sensory experience should play an important role in setting up a direct relationship between people and the natural environment, and it is based on the premise that contemporary urban public space ecological designs. Are often deficient in this regard. In order to develop a design methodology that addresses both ecological function and sensory experience, the author examine both contemporary western ecological design and classical Chinese garden design. The former focuses on the ecological functions of the environment, while the latter typically emphasizes the sensory qualities of the landscape. Drawing from the strengths of both approaches, an experience-oriented ecological design framework is proposed with the goal of improving human experience in urban public spaces. The framework emphasizes both sensory experience and ecological functions in two phases of the design process â site analysis and site design. The framework is applied to a design for Bridge Park in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. The design is evaluated to assess efficacy of the framework for the design urban public spaces that address both sensory experience and ecological processes. The evaluation suggests that the framework could be an effective tool for designers, and also draws conclusions regarding the potential role of sensory experience as a tool for creative discovery in the design process. Finally the paper raises questions regarding the desirability of employing sensory experience as a didactic tool to enhance environmental awareness.

Martin, Graham R. The Sensory Ecology of Collisions and Entrapment. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199694532.003.0009.

Abstract:
Collisions of birds with human artefacts (power lines, wind turbines, glass sheets, etc.) are major source of bird mortality. Many birds are also killed by entrapment in fishing nets. A sensory ecology perspective on this problem shows that collision and entrapment occur because these hazards present perceptual tasks that are beyond the capacities of the birds; birds are carrying out tasks where a hazard would not be predicted; or birds perceive the hazard but make an inappropriate categorical response. Birds that fly into power lines and turbines may be simply not looking ahead or are flying in conditions in which their resolution is very low. Reducing collisions requires far more than attempting to make hazards more conspicuous to humans. It requires recognition of the birds’ perceptual limitations and their distraction away from hazard sites. This requires taking account of the particular ecological requirements and sensory capacities of each target species.

Full text
Abstract:
Startling signals are secondary defences that occur after the focal prey individual has been singled out for attack. Startling signals involve stimulation of the predator’s senses that cause it to delay or break off an attack. The assumption is that even a delay in attack can confer a survival advantage to the prey. This might occur because delay gives the prey an added opportunity to flee, or added opportunity for some other event to occur (perhaps the arrival of a predator of the predator) that causes the predator to break off the attack permanently. Startle signals influence the predator’s behaviour primarily through sensory and/or cognitive manipulation and must be separate from other mechanisms that may also influence predators’ behaviour so as to curtail, delay, or diminish an attack. We first consider the empirical evidence for the existence of such signals, before discussing the evolution of startle signals, the ecological aspects of this defence, co-evolutionary considerations, and suggestions for future research.

Abstract:
Life cycles for broadcast-spawning marine invertebrates are characterized by a pelagic (larval) and benthic (juvenile and adult) stage, which are differentiated by the process of settlement and metamorphosis. While settlement and recruitment are concepts that primarily deal with the ecological aspects of this transition, they are often accompanied by a drastic morphological and developmental transition. Larval transport, the means of reaching suitable settlement sites, is difficult to study, but insights from genetics, behavior, sensory ecology, and oceanography have provided important insights....

Abstract:
In Maroon Choreography fahima ife speculates on the long (im)material, ecological, and aesthetic afterlives of black fugitivity. In three long-form poems and a lyrical essay, they examine black fugitivity as an ongoing phenomenon we know little about beyond what history tells us. As both poet and scholar, ife unsettles the history and idea of black fugitivity, troubling senses of historic knowing while moving inside the continuing afterlives of those people who disappeared themselves into rural spaces beyond the reach of slavery. At the same time, they interrogate how writing itself can be a fugitive practice and a means to find a way out of ongoing containment, indebtedness, surveillance, and ecological ruin. Offering a philosophical performance in black study, ife prompts us to consider how we—in our study, in our mutual refusal, in our belatedness, in our habitual assemblage—linger beside the unknown.
