Temporal variability in exposure is influenced by application intensity, frequency, method of application, behavioral characteristics of the applicator (e.g., use of personal protective equipment, hand washing), as well as the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the pesticide formulation.
Five water application intensity (WAI) treatments (1.7, 3.1, 5.3, 8.8, and 10.1 mm h−1), five irrigation amount (IA) treatments (148, 168, 184, 201, and 223 mm) and three time periods of water redistribution (0, 24 and 48 h) were employed in the study.
In our application, intensity values were strongly affected by recurrent and rapid changes in lighting, shadows, and reflections.
In the last case, instead of considering the different usage intensity for each group, an average failure rate for all groups was selected to better compare the optimum performance with and without the effect of application intensity.
In this equation, λ0 > 0 is the basic failure rate, a coefficient that is based on the Weibull distribution, and application intensity δi is based on customer usage rates in subgroup i.
In this paper, FRW policy based on heterogeneous population of customers was developed based on different application intensities with statistical distribution of Weibull.
Potential applications include intensity measurement, active control and adaptive-passive vibration control.
With each subsequent application, perceived intensity continued to increase until the fifth application which was not perceived as significantly more intense than the fourth application.
The same scanning system has potential application for intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) as well.
Both studies were designed as split-plots with the whole plots as different levels of fertilization and herbicide application (cultural intensity), and full-sib families of loblolly pine were the splits.
