| The use of portable harvesters in olives harvesting is becoming increasingly, especially in Sicily, south Italy, both to reduce the costs of production and to assure the olive oil quality. Nevertheless, it’s well known that the use of such tools may involve risk of exposure to hand-transmitted vibration that is a potential cause of muscular/skeletal pains in hand–arm system, and specific pathologies such as Hand–Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), Vibration-Induced White Finger (VWF) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). The aim of this study was to assess the level of exposure to hand-arm vibration of the operators during the use of portable shakers for olives harvesting. Two different commonly used types of tools were evaluated performing both laboratory and... |

| Wine quality depends on many factors, such as the choice of variety, stock, training system, pruning as well as environmental parameters and cultivation techniques performed in the vineyard. Monitoring the micro-climate of grapevine allows to conveniently perform the most important cultivation techniques (soil management, pesticide treatments, green pruning, harvest) thus reducing the operating costs of the vineyard, and increasing the overall quality of the grapes. The aim of the present study is to monitor the micro-climate of grapevine in order to control spring period hazards, to reduce the operating costs of the vineyard and to increase the quality of grapes. For this purpose a Wireless Sensor Network was used, and a comparison was performed... |
