王 应 宽 2011-01-08 UTC-6 CST UMN, St Paul MN, USA 2010 ( 3 ) IAEJ 《国际农业工程学报》出版 又是几个不眠之夜,终于完成了亚洲农业工程学会( Asian Association for Agricultural Engineering )会刊《国际农业工程学报》 (International Agricultural Engineering Journal) 2010 年第 3 期的出版工作。按照季刊的出版周期现在本应该出版第 4 期了,而现在才出版第 3 期实在有点儿说不过去。但因为我们 2010 年 6 月底才接管该刊, 7 月份才完成编辑部从泰国曼谷到中国北京的移交。 我接手该刊的工作后, 7 月底出版了第 1 期, 9 月中旬出版了第 2 期。按照我的计划,本打算在 11 月份出版第 3 期, 12 月底出版第 4 期。但因为手头还有 2008 年创办的 IJABE 和新接管的 CIGR Journal要做 ,加之编辑团队尚未培养起来,我又在美国明尼苏达大学访学,同时要筹办 2010 年 12 月在美国得克萨斯召开的 2010 中美精准农业智能装备和航空遥感测试技术学术研讨会,实在忙不开工作就被迫拖延了下来。 其实也有同事和朋友善意的建议我将第 3 期和第 4 期合并出版,问题就解决了。过去的几年该刊也经常这么干,如 2008 年将 4 期合并 1 期出版(四合一), 2009 年将 4 期合并为 2 期出版(四合二)。我要是将第 3 、 4 期合并一期出版,全年为四合三模式,相对于过去,也还算是个进步。但我希望改变此现状,作为一本有近 20 年办刊历史并被《工程索引》等多家国际知名检索系统收录的具有一定国际影响的专业期刊,最起码应该保证正常出版,所以勉力为之。虽然时间晚了,我想还是要努力去做,争取在春节前出版 2010 年的第 4 期。 在此,我作为执行主编,代表主编和编辑部对期刊未能按时出版向广大读者和作者道歉。感谢大家的关注和支持!希望 2011 年重新组建编委会和培训编辑团队后,我们能按时出刊。也希望中国农业工程界的朋友多多支持我们所出版的几本期刊。 现将本期目录和全文的 PDF 发布于此。因为 IAEJ 目前尚没有网络版(正在建设网站争取 2011 年全线上网,网址 www.iaej.asia ),本博文是目前该期文章唯一能在线获取的途径,欢迎关注和浏览。 INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL Published by ASIAN ASSOCIATION FOR AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING (AAAE) Vol. 1 9 , No. 3 , 20 1 0 TABLE OF CONTENTS Editorial : Networking research, development and innovation in a gricultural e ngineering through IAEJ Li Shujun, Wang Yingkuan Variation s of torque and specific tilling energy for different rotary blades Sirisak Chertkiattipol, Tanya Niyamapa ( 1 ) Agricultural rotavator power requirement optimization using multi-objective probability parameter optimization Zhang Libin, Jiang Jiandong, Li Yanbiao ( 1 5 ) E ffects of moisture change on the physical and thermal properties of sericea lespedeza pellets A.

王 应 宽 2010-10-04 Beijing , China 国际农业工程学报 IAEJ 2010 年第 2 期出版 亚洲农业工程学会会刊《国际农业工程学报》( International Agricultural Engineering Journal )自 2010 年 7 月正式移交中国, AAAE 主席李树君担任主编,王应宽博士受邀担任执行主编。在本人接受这项新任务后不到 3 个月的时间内,我们出版了 2 期。在 7 月份出版的第一期中,前任主编 Dr. Rameshwar S. Kanwar 及其助理编辑 Dr. Philip W. Gassman 博士做了不少工作,在此谨表感谢。由于希望在 9 月份在上海举办的国际农业工程会议之前出版,以便在会议期间宣传交流期刊,本人也提前挤时间处理稿件,经过近一个月时间的加班,终于在 9 月 13 日拿到印刷出来的期刊。带去上海国际会议的 200 余本期刊颇受欢迎,被一抢而空。本人的工作也得到 AAAE 理事会的高度赞誉和充分认可。 该期所刊登的 6 篇文章,没有来自中国的稿件,均为国际作者的论文,包括美国 2 篇,泰国 2 篇,伊朗 1 篇,印度 1 篇。该期文章的主要内容涉及农业水土和农业机械工程方面。为了在上海的国际会议上宣传期刊,也为了给 AAAE 的头头脑脑们留个好印象,不辜负大家的信任和支持,新主编上任三把火,在非常短促的时间内,在做好文章内容编排外,还起草了主编致词、设计了新的封面四封彩页封面突出当期内容特色机械和水、封二宣传介绍了 AAAE 秘书处、封三宣传承办单位中国农业机械化科学研究院、封地宣传介绍了期刊本身(附后)。虽然看起来做这点工作不足挂齿,但因为时间紧,重新搜集图片、起草文字并设计制作也需要付出很多的辛劳,尤其刚接手工作,对刊物的历史也不甚清楚,因而工作还是相当富有挑战性的,特别在人手有限事必躬亲的情况下。如前所述,辛勤的工作换来了同行的认可,身体的疲惫得到精神的慰籍。 文章目次附后,欢迎感兴趣者关注。由于此刊目前还没有网站,作者和订户才能浏览全文,但在本人博客可以浏览到全文。 资料链接:《国际农业工程学报》简介: 《国际农业工程学报》( International Agricultural Engineering Journal, IAEJ )由亚洲农业工程学会( Asian Association for Agricultural Engineering, AAAE )出版,是 AAAE 的会刊, 1992 创刊于泰国亚洲理工学院,刊号为 0858-2114 。至今已连续出版 19 卷。现为季刊。主要刊登农业工程领域的原创性研究论文,包括农业机械、农产品产后处理、食品工程与生物技术、水土工程、系统工程、精准农业、保护型耕作、地面力学、农业环境、农业能源、农业物料与新材料等。 IAEJ 被国际检索系统收录情况 ★ 美国《工程索引(核心)》( Compendex ( Core )) 。 2009 年入库 19 篇。参见工程信息村 2 http://www.engineeringvillage2.org.cn 。 ★ 荷兰《斯高帕斯数据库》( Scopus ),即 Elsevier Bibliographic Databases 参见免费网站 http://www.info.scopus.com/detail/what/documents/title_list.xls ★ 英国《国际农业与生物科学研究文摘》( CABI, Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience Abstracts )。 ★ 英国《全球健康》( GH , Global Health )。 ★ 美国《化学文摘(网络版)》 (CA-Web) 2008 年首次入库。 International Agricultural Engineering Journal 出版的文摘在 CA ( Web )入库 19 篇。 ★ 美国 《剑桥科学文摘(自然科学)》( CSA ( Nat Sci ) ,Cambridge Scientific Abstracts ( Natural Sciences ))。被其中 9 种文摘收录。 Pollution Abstracts , 属于 CSA ( Nat Sci )。 ★ 美国《剑桥科学文摘(工程技术)》( CSA ( T ) , Cambridge Scientific Abstracts ( Technology ))。被其中 21 种文摘收录 。 参见免费网站: www.csa.com/e_products/databases-collections.php 。 ★ 美国《乌利希期刊指南》( Ulrich PD, Ulrich's Periodicals Directory )。 参见网站 http://www.ulrichsweb.com/ulrichsweb/ 。 ★ 美国《应用力学评论》( Applied Mechanics Review )收录。 IAEJ 尚未被汤普逊 SCI 收录,但经过检索,截至 2010 年 9 月 3 日, International Agricultural Engineering Journal(IAEJ) 所刊载论文在美国科学引文数据库的总被引频次为 50 次。 INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL Published by ASIAN ASSOCIATION FOR AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING (AAAE) Vol. 1 9 , No. 2 , 20 1 0 TABLE OF CONTENTS Editorial : Networking research, development and innovation in a gricultural e ngineering through IAEJ Li Shujun, Wang Yingkuan Note about ongoing Special Issue Philip W.

王应宽 2010-08-07 Beijing, China 亚洲农业工程学会会刊( IAEJ ) 2010 ( 1 )出版 (补发) 亚洲农业工程学会( THE ASIAN ASSOCIATION FOR AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING, AAAE )的会刊 International Agricultural Engineering Journal ( IAEJ ,译作《国际农业工程学报》)自秘书处总部于 2010 年年初搬迁到中国落户中国农业机械化科学研究院( CAAMS )之后,其会刊也随之迁入中国。 但因为移交事宜,期刊的出版曾一度拖延,本该 3 月份出版的第一期被拖延到 7 月份。 自 2010 年 6 月中旬在加拿大魁北克开会期间, AAAE 秘书长张兰芳教授才从前任主编美国 Iowa State University 的 Dr. Rameshwar S. Kanwar 那里拿到已经录用的 5 篇文章。但是等到张老师带领的代表团于 6 月底回到北京后,文章转交到我手里已经是 7 月 4 日了。 根据前期 AAAE 官员沟通研究的结果,拟由 AAAE 现任主席李树君博士担任主编,聘请敝人担任执行主编。其实,我这个主编大都是临危受命,担任救火主编的角色。由于 IAEJ 每期文章数量少,我带领 CIGR Journal 的编辑,在两周之内就完成了第一期的编辑出版工作。相对于 CIGR Journal 的第一期, IAEJ 今年的第一期主要延续以往的模式,暂时没有做大的变更。我的工作主要是 1 篇文章的终审及返修以及后续 6 篇文章的编辑、排版、校对、印刷、发行等工作,包括给 AAAE 会员、订户、检索系统、论文作者等的邮寄工作。其实,按照我原先的计划,应该能更快出版,但后来因期刊里一些关键信息的变更与泰国方面和国内的相关领导沟通,被迫拖延了一周。期刊的发行工作于 7 月 28 日才交付邮局办妥。 IAEJ1992 年创刊于泰国亚洲理工学院( AIT ),已经连续出版 19 年了。该刊已经具备较好的基础,相继被工程索引( EI Compendex )等世界知名检索系统收录。目前面临的最大问题是没有网络版,没有在线投稿、评审和发布系统,只是出版纸质印刷期刊,容量小,每期不足十篇全年 4 期刊载二三十篇文章,几百份的有限发行量和到达率,被我戏称为服务于几百人的俱乐部内刊,严重限制了期刊的更大发展。 希望该刊在中国能有更大的发展。也希望国内的各位同仁关注和支持!

王应宽 Beijing 2010-08-07 国际农业与生物工程学会会刊( CIGR Journal ) 2010 ( 1 )出版 (补发) 自 2010 年 4 月 7 日通过国际网络视频会议举行国际农业与生物工程学会( International Commission of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering ,法语首字母缩写为 CIGR, 网址为 www.cigr.org )会刊 CIGR Journal 移交落户中国仪式之后,本人正式就任主编。为了赶在 6 月 13-17 日在加拿大魁北克召开的 CIGR 第 17 届世界大会之前出版期刊的纸质版,以便在会议期刊携带期刊前往宣传交流。掐指算来留给我的时间只有不到两个月了。由于我要组建中国农业工程代表团并先期于 6 月 11 日率团从北京出发赴加拿大参会,加之,手头还有另外 2 本期刊和单位的日常事务等工作,因而时间就更紧了。 幸好在前任主编 Fedro Zazuasta 教授和各位栏目主编的辛勤努力下, OJS 系统库里面已经有近 30 篇文章被录用了。该刊为纯网络电子期刊,过去的出版基本上就是在专家审阅、作者修改、主编决定录用后简单的标引作者和期刊引用信息转成 PDF 上传到网站就算发表了。发表的时间相对比较快,不分期次,一年一卷,全年发表近百篇文章。因为过去都是国际农业工程界的大牛型(多为 CIGR 主席)专家担任主编,兼职业余办刊,没有经费支持,没有专业的编辑队伍,也没有太多的时间做文章的编辑和期刊的宣传推广以及营销工作。因此,期刊也就依靠几位专家的无私奉献连续出版了十余年。在 CIGR 和国际同行的眼里,我是受过专业训练和富有经验的职业编辑( a well-trained and experienced professional editor )。聘任我接任主编也就是寄希望通过本人专业化的运作,尽快提升期刊的质量和影响,尽早进入包括 SCI 在内的国际权威检索系统。显然我不能按照原先的模式原地踏步。我在期刊移交就职仪式上的讲话阐明了我提升期刊质量的十大措施,已经得到大家的认可和好评。但是这些想法很难在不到两月就要出版的第一期刊物中体现,许多只能从长计议,逐步实施。 为了让国际社会在期刊移交后的两个月内看到明显成效,我与中国方面的两个学会领导李树君副理事长和朱明理事长商议,提出我的想法并得到认可和支持。我很快确定马上要做的工作包括出版一期纸质期刊、对文章内容认真编辑加工、采用双栏排版让格式美观统一、新设计期刊封面、并通过宣传两个学会和期刊本身做成期刊四封彩页,再通过精美的印刷和装帧设计,使期刊的外观和内容都美观大方。同时还起草介绍材料、搜集图片设计了期刊宣传单页材料( Flyer ),精美印刷,再拿到加拿大和美国的大型国际会议上去宣传。虽然看起来这些工作并不是很多,但因为手下团队的编辑都是新招聘来的,尚不熟悉编辑业务,我一方面要指导大家如何编辑稿件,同时要亲力亲为的把握每一个细节,干好每一件事情。经过一个多月的日夜加班,终于在我们开会出发前的 6 月 8 日拿到了印刷出来的期刊和宣传彩页。此次出版的 2010 年第一期印刷版纸质期刊共刊出论文 23 篇。此期也是该刊历史上第一册纸质期刊。如果以后也不再出版纸质印刷版,那么这期就是空前绝后的了! 几十个日日夜夜的艰苦劳作没有白费。 6 月 11 日,我率领 44 人的中国农业工程代表团浩浩荡荡开赴加拿大。我请随行的专家朋友们帮忙带去了一百多册新出版的期刊和一千多份宣传彩页。大会组委会也非常友好的免费在显著位置为我提供了展台,让我展出我们出版的期刊和宣传页。有 Poster 展览展示的会期从 14-16 日共三天,我也预计用三天来发放期刊和资料,还一直担心要是期刊没人要,那么沉又不便拿回来怎么办?出人预料的是,期刊很受欢迎,仅 6 月 14 日就被一抢而空。前期由李树君率领的中国农业机械学会代表团也带去期刊几十份,并在 6 月 13 日召开 CIGR 常务理事会上展示、宣传和赠送了期刊。包括 CIGR 几任主席、前任主编和各位执委、理事等都对新出版的期刊眼前一亮,大加赞赏 ( 用 Amazing, Terrific, Excellent, Wonderful, Super Job, Unbelievable Work 等夸赞 ) 。作为 CIGR 期刊移交中国的主要推动者和负责人以及 CIGR 执委的李树君也感觉很有面子,期刊大长中国人的士气,在国际同行前展示了中国效率,着实 High 了一把! 俗话说,外行看热闹,内行看门道。其实,从内行的眼光看来,第一期的工作效率是高的,特别是由能干的王博士一人全盘操持。但是从质量和内容方面,还有很大的提升空间。期刊编辑是一项有缺憾的工作。职业编辑一直再追求完美,但每出版一期都或多或少留下缺憾,永远达不到完美。 期刊论文全文上网,完全开放( Immediate Full-text Open Access ),请大家指正。友情提示,每篇文章后的 PDF 才是本主编的版本,标有 Provisional PDF 的是前任主编的版本。 Agricultural Engineering International: CIGR Journal Open Access at http://www.cigrjournal.org Table of Contents Volume 12, Number 1, March, 2010 Section I: Land and Water Engineering (LWE) Soil nutrient levels and crop performance at various lateral positions following liquid manure injection Ying Chen, Bereket Assefa, Wole Arkinremi ( 1 ) Mechanical properties of some bioplastics under different soil types used as biodegradable drip tubes Mostafa H M, Sourell H , Bockisch F J ( 12 ) Rainfall intensity-duration-frequency analysis for Southeastern Nigeria G I Okonkwo, C C Mbajiorgu ( 22 ) Geological, geophysical and engineering geological investigation of a leaky micro-dam in the Northern Ethiopia Gebremedhin Berhane ( 31 ) Section II: Farm Buildings and Construction (FBC) Research model f or farm building design: General structure and physiognomic characterization phase P Tassinari, D Torreggiani, S Benni, E DallAra ( 47 ) Shrinkage of natural plaster materials for straw bale buildings affected by reinforcement fibers and drying Ashour T, Derbala A ( 55 ) Life cycle assessment of the overall energy consumption of a road construction project and its management in Cameroon Mamba Mpele, Elime Bouboama A, Ayina Ohandja L M, Madjadoumbaye J ( 63 ) Section III: Equipment Engineering for Plant Production (EEPP) Design and development of subsoiler-cum-differential rate fertilizer applicator Sandip Mandal, T C Thakur ( 74 ) Influence of coolant temperature on the performance of a four stroke spark ignition engine employing a dual circuit cooling system A Rehman, R M Sarviya, Savita Dixit, Rajesh Kumar Pandey ( 84 ) Section IV: Energy in Agriculture (EA) Simulation model for solar energy harnessing by the solar tunnel dryer G M Kituu, D Shitanda, C L Kanali, J T Mailutha, C K Njoroge, J K Wainaina, J S Bongyereire ( 91 ) Comparison o f static-mixer and blade agitator reactor i n biodiesel production Rizal Alamsyah, Armansyah H Tambunan, Y Aris Purwanto, Dadan Kusdiana ( 99 ) Investigation of optimal thermal parameters for essential oils extraction using laboratory and solar distillation systems A Munir, O Hensel ( 107 ) Section V: Management, Ergonomics and Systems Engineering (MESE) Isometric push/pull strength of agricultural workers of Central India K N Agrawal, P S Tiwari, L P Gite, V Bhushanababu ( 115 ) Measurement of agricultural mechanization index and analysis of agricultural productivity of farm settlements in Southwest Nigeria Olaoye J O, A O Rotimi ( 125 ) Economic potential of tractor hire business in Riau Province, Indonesia: A case study of small tractors for small rice farms Ujang Paman, S Uchida, S Inaba ( 135 ) Anthropometric considerations of farm tools/machinery design for tribal workers of northeastern India K N Agrawal, R K P Singh, K K Satapathy ( 143 ) Assessment of injuries in small scale sawmill industry of south western Nigeria Segun R Bello, Yahaya Mijinyawa ( 151 ) Section VI: Post-harvest Technology and Process Engineering (PTPE) Comparison between artificial neural networks and mathematical models for estimating equilibrium moisture content in raisin R Amiri Chayjan, M Esna-Ashari ( 158 ) Solar drying of roselle ( Hibiscus sabdariffa L.): Effects of drying conditions on the drying constant and coefficients, and validation of the logarithmic model Imad Eldin Saeed ( 167 ) Impact force of melon seeds during shelling F B Okokon, E Ekpenyong, C Nwaukwa, N Akpan, F I Abam ( 182 ) Development of large scale drying system for Chillies ( Capsicum annum ) CH V V Satyanarayana, P C Vengaiah ( 189 ) Moisture-dependent e ngineering p roperties of b lack c umin ( Nigella s ativa L .) s eed Seyed Mohammad Taghi Gharib-Zahedi, Seyed Mohammad Mousavi, Ali moayedi, Amin Taheri Garavand, Seyed Mahdi Alizadeh ( 194 ) Section VII: Information Systems (IS) Fruit detection system and an end effector for robotic harvesting of Fuji apples D M Bulanon, T Kataoka ( 203 ) 主编在加拿大魁北克2010 CIGR World Congress期间坐台展示期刊 Front Flyer for CIGR Journal Front Flyer for CIGR Journal 封二-宣传介绍中国农业机械学会CSAM 封三-宣传介绍中国农业工程学会CSAE 封底-宣传介绍期刊CIGR Journal

On behalf of Prof Li Shujun and Prof Zhu Ming, Prof. Wang Yingkuan, Incoming Editor-in-Chief of CIGR Ejournal, called together the ceremony, who was also the Master of Ceremony (Emcee) along with Prof. Lanfang Zhang from International Cooperation Department, CAAMS. The program kicked off at 9:00 am with the introduction to all the participants. The participants from USA were also present via video conference. Because of the time difference, many expected participants failed to present the ceremony. The followings are the key speakers with their brief views and remarks on the handover ceremony: 1. Prof. Fedro Zazueta, Incoming President and Editor-in-Chief of CIGR E-Journal, gave a wonderful speech with the title of Today is truly a memorable day Via Video Conference. He briefly recalled the history of CIGR Journal with three milestones: Prof Bill Stout launched the journal; Modernize communication resources of CIGR using modern IT technology and redesign the CIGR website, implementing an management system for the CIGR Journal; Move the journal to the Open Journal System with the help of Dr. Jiannong Xin, Dr. Bill Stout, staff at the University of Florida and Staff at Texas AM University. This established a modern online review system and open access repository for publications in our profession at no cost to the authors. Today, we are looking at a new horizon. With the support from CSAM and CSAE, and with a dedicated professional editor, Dr. Yingkuan Wang, the level of the Journal is being raised to a higher standard, and a new stage in the development of the Journal and its positive influence on our profession worldwide will come. He is looking forward to this close collaboration between CSAM, CSAE and CIGR. 2. Prof. Wang Maohua, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out in his speech that this ceremony is a landmark with great significance in the cooperation between CIGR and China. The CSAM and CSAE joining as a Chinese Federation became a national member of CIGR in 1989. Since then, the academic exchange and friendship between Chinese agricultural engineers and worldwide colleagues of agricultural and biological societies have become more and more close link with good cooperation development. In 2004, the CIGR International Conference with the theme of The Olympics of Agricultural Engineering was successfully held in Beijing. Prof Wang expressed his sincere thanks to all former and active CIGR leadership, all our friends for their great trust, friendship and cooperation. The CIGR E-Journal Handover to China from today will be much helpful for Chinese federation of CSAM and CSAE to learn more experience for CIGR activities. I believe that the editorial board and both the CSAM and CSAE will do best efforts to make the EJournal even greater success. In the past, we all benefited a lot from our successful cooperation. In the future, we will write a new chapter in cooperation. Great thanks to CIGR Leaders who have made the decision that the 18th CIGR World Congress in 2014 will be held in Beijing, China. We will do our best to co-sponsor this important event. Prof Wang stressed that the cooperation to establish a strategic cooperative partnership among CIGR, CSAM and CSAE is a multi-win-win strategy. 3. Prof. Bill Stout, Honorary President of CIGR, Founder and Former Editor-in-Chief of CIGR E-Journal, addressed at the inauguration ceremony at his home in Meridian, Idaho, USA Via Video Conference. He mentioned that the concept of CIGR Ejournal was born in Oslo of Norway in August 1998, and took shape at Texas AM University, USA with the publication of seven technical articles and two overview papers in 1999. By the end of 2009, the journal has grown with the publication of 484 original papers and 115 invited overviews with authors from 57 countries. Dr. Fedro Zazuetta proposed the Ejournal adopt the Open Journal System which was approved by the CIGR Presidium and he was appointed as Editor-in-chief in 2009. China proposed to host the Ejounal some time ago. That leads us to today---the inauguration of Dr Yingkuan Wang as the Editor-in-Chief under the sponsorship of CSAE and CSAM. He thanked the CAAMS and its President, Dr Li Shujun for the moral and financial support for the Ejournal. Prof Bill Stout believes that the future of the CIGR Ejournal is bright. It continues to strive for higher quality and is well on its way to becoming as good as any of the best journals in the field of agricultural and biological engineering. He wishes the new Editor-in-Chief, Dr Yingkuan Wang and all his colleagues well as they undertake this important assignment. And he is looking forward to continuing to work as their advisor and supporter. 4. Main points of the speech given by Prof. Li Shujun, Deputy President and Secretary-General of CSAM, Executive President of CAAMS Prof Li first thanked the CIGR Presidium for giving China the opportunity to operate the CIGR Ejournal. Since the 2004 CIGR International Conference held in Beijing, more and more Chinese agricultural engineering scientists have been actively involved in the CIGR academic activities and have been playing positive roles in promoting CIGR worldwide. From 2007, China has been seeking the opportunity to host the CIGR Ejournal. The three-party agreement was signed on October 16, 2009 among CIGR, CSAM and CSAE in the CAAMS in Beijing, which was a big step forward for the CIGR Ejournal to come to China. CAAMS provided 1 million RMB Yuan for journal as the launching fund. Two rooms for the Editorial Office of the CIGR Ejournal are ready now, equipped with internet connection facilities, computers, printers, fax machines, four lines of telephones as well as the furniture. Apart from the facilities, five staff members of the CIGR Ejournal Editorial Office have been selected and employed. The incoming Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Wang Yingkuan from CSAE has been recommended and selected by both China and CIGR due to his outstanding professional qualifications. He appreciated that Prof. Bill Stout accepted the invitation to serve as the advisor to the CIGR Ejournal. Prof Li also promised, as the host of the CIGR Ejournal, CAAMS will be glad to provide whatever is needed by the CIGR Editorial Office and will be happy to offer the best support service. CAAMS will also invite the universities and research institutes in China to make contributions to the CIGR Ejournal. Prof Li stressed that the operation of the CIGR Ejournal should follow the CIGR-CSAM-CSAE Three-party Agreement and the Bylaws drafted by the CIGR Presidium. We will also rely on the CIGR section chairs and editors to ensure high quality, make the best use of the talented people both in China and abroad, and upgrade the professional level of the Editorial Office staff by continued technical training. He disclosed the Dr, Wang Yingkuan, the incoming Editor-in-Chief, has a detailed business plan to improve the journal. He believe with joint efforts of all the related parties under the guidance of the CIGR Presidium and the leadership of the Editor-in-Chief, the CIGR Ejournal can be made into a first-class international journal equal to the best journals in the agricultural/biological engineering area. 5. Main points of the address given by Prof. Zhu Ming, President of CSAE and CAAE Prof Zhu Ming first greeted all the friends and guests there. He expressed his great honor and excitement to witness the inaugural ceremony of CIGR Ejournal handover to China. Prof Zhu gave his heartfelt thanks to CIGR Presidium and foreign friends for their friendship, trust and support, so that China can operate the CIGR Ejournal. He warmly welcomed CIGR Ejournal to China, on behalf of Chinese agricultural engineers and scientists! He is quite convinced that Chinas agricultural engineering will be booming together with the prosperity of CIGR Ejournal. Therefore, maintaining a strategic cooperative partnership between CIGR and CSAE/CSAM is a win-win policy, which is good for all. Prof Zhu believes that the joint efforts of two strongest societies, CSAM and CSAE and academies, CAAMS and CAAE in China as cosponsor to operate the journal, will surely accelerate the development of CIGR Ejournal. Dr. Wang Yingkuan from CSAE is well qualified and completely competent for the new editor-in-chief. Prof Zhu promised, as the President of CAAE and CSAE, he ensure that CAAE and CSAE will give full support to run this journal. CSAE will conduct close cooperation with CSAM and CIGR to promote the journal. Last, he wish CIGR Ejournal a great success in China and worldwide! 6. Prof. Wang Yingkuan, Incoming Editor-in-Chief, s hared his ten new ideas on further improvement and promotion of the CIGR Ejournal. Starting with using a definite title of the Ejournal, transforming into a quarterly periodical publication as a professional and scientific journal, active communication with all indexing databases, improving and customizing the journal websites, increasing the visibility and accessibility of journal website, organize OJS training for section editors and editorial staff, strengthening the editorial team by training, improving journal manuscript process, inviting good papers and organizing an international editorial board with over 100 members from about 50 countries. Dr. Wang stressed that he would really appreciate more liberty and decision-making power to handle the journal affairs independently, and should have a major voice in editing and publishing this journal, since CIGR, CSAM and CSAE trusted and selected him as the editor-in-chief. Dr. Wang gave his special thanks to Prof Bill Stout, Zhu Ming and Li Shujun for trusting and recommending him as the new editor-in-chief, and great assistance, guidance, effort and support to host the CIGR Journal in China.

I would like to share some information with you on the preparation work we have done in recent months for the CIGR Ejournal. Since singing the cooperation agreement on the CIGR Ejournal on October 16, 2009 in CAAMS in Beijing by the three parties of CSAM, CSAE and CIGR, China started the preparation to implement the agreement. The preparation work was summarized as the following six points: First Leaders of CSAM and CSAE discussed the operation of the CIGR Ejournal with the CIGR Presidium. In this Jan., Dr. Shujun Li visited the University of Florida and talked with Prof. Fedro and Prof. Jiannong Xin on the CIGR Ejournal matters. They also communicated and exchanged ideas by emails. Second A team was set up with Dr. Li Shujun as the leader and it includes the people from CSAM and CSAE who are closely related to the CIGR Ejournal work here in China . Three working meetings were held to make the business plan, formulate the working timetable and the detailed steps to implement the plan. Third Five staff for the CIGR Editorial Office were selected and employed and the first short training on OJS was conducted on March 26. New Editor-in-chief Dr. Wang Yingkuan sent the OJS materials to all the editorial staff, asked them to read and get familiar with the OJS practice. The professional training on OJS and the editing expertise training are also planned. Fourth The Editor of the CIGR Ejournal Prof. Fedro made frequent communications with the incoming Editor-in Chief Dr. Wang Yingkuan for the detailed matters of handover the CIGR Ejournal. Four or five online meetings were held between the two editors and the meeting minutes were drafted. That very much ensured the smooth handover of the CIGR Ejournal from US to China . Fifth CAAMS allocated two office rooms, one is for the Editor-in-Chief and the other is for the Editorial Office of the CIGR Ejournal. All the furniture for the two offices including tables, chairs and cabinets was purchased, the office machines of three laptop computers, four desk-top computers, two laser printers, two multi-function machines with scanning, copy duplicating and color printing, two fax machines, necessary software and hardware were bought, Four telephone lines were installed, two for each office, one is for telephone and one is for fax.

Address at CIGR Journal Handover Ceremony By Prof. Li Shujun Executive President of CAAMS, Deputy President and Secretary-General of CSAM, Member of Executive Board of CIGR Dear Prof. Fedro Zazueta, Prof. Bill Stout, Prof. Wang Maohua, Prof. Zhu Ming, Dear CIGR colleagues on line and those present, Good morning and good evening! I feel very excited to attend the Handover Ceremony of the CIGR Ejournal to China today and also pleased to meet all of you at the Video Conference. Thanks to Prof. Pedersen, Prof. Fedro and the other members of the CIGR Presidium for giving China the opportunity to operate the CIGR Ejournal. Since the CIGR 2004 International Conference was held in Beijing , more and more Chinese agricultural engineering scientists have been actively involved in the CIGR academic activities and have been playing positive roles in promoting CIGR worldwide. From 2007, we have been seeking the opportunity and studying the possibilities for China to host the CIGR Ejournal. After consultation and discussion between the CIGR Presidium and China many times in the past few years, the Chinese Society for Agricultural Machinery, Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering and CIGR reached an agreement on the sponsorship of the CIGR Ejournal and the three parties signed the agreement on October 16, 2009 in the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Mechanization Sciences (CAAMS) in Beijing. That was a big step forward for the CIGR Ejournal to come to China . After the agreement was signed, Chinese representatives of CSAM and CSAE actively worked on the preparations. CSAM and CAAMS established a team to be responsible for the implementation of the agreement on the CIGR Ejournal. In order to guarantee the smooth operation of the Editorial Office, CAAMS provided 1 million RMB Yuan as the launching fund. Now two rooms for the Editorial Office of the CIGR Ejournal are ready, they are right here in this building on the second floor, equipped with internet connection facilities, computers, printers, fax machines, 4 lines of telephones as well as the furniture. Later after this video conference, we will have another ceremony, to unveil the nameplates of the Editorial Office and the Editor-in-Chief Office. We plan to record that ceremony and show it to CIGR leaders and colleagues during the 17 th World Congress of CIGR in Quebec . Apart from the facilities, five staff of the CIGR Ejournal Editorial Office have been selected and employed. The incoming Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Wang Yingkuan from CSAE has been recommended and selected by both China and CIGR due to his outstanding professional qualifications. I also want to express appreciation to Prof. Bill Stout for his accepting our invitation to serve as the advisor to the CIGR Ejournal. His rich experiences and professional guidance will help ensure the quality and the international practice of the CIGR Ejournal. For the purpose of making the CIGR Ejournal into a world influential journal and entering the world famous indexing databases of EI and SCI, we will work hard to do a better job in many respects. First of all, operation of the CIGR Ejournal should follow the agreement signed by the three parties on October 16, 2009 in Beijing and the Bylaws document drafted by the CIGR Presidium. The following steps will be taken to ensure publication of high quality papers: Rely on the CIGR section chairs and editors to ensure high quality. Make the best use of the talented people both in China and abroad and utilize all of their knowledge and intelligence. Upgrade the professional level of the Editorial Office staff by continued technical training. I know Dr, Wang Yingkuan, the incoming Editor-in-Chief of the CIGR Ejournal has a detailed business plan to implement these steps. As the host of the CIGR Ejournal, CAAMS will be glad to provide whatever is needed by the CIGR Editorial Office and will be happy to offer the best support service. CAAMS will also invite the universities and research institutes in China to make contributions to the CIGR Ejournal. I have no doubt that with the common efforts of all the related parties under the guidance of the CIGR Presidium and the leadership of the Editor-in-Chief, the CIGR Ejournal can be made into a first-class international journal equal to the best journals in the agricultural/biological engineering area. Thank you!
Address at Inaugural Ceremony of CIGR E-Journal Handover to China By Prof. Wang Maohua, Honorary President of CSAE and CSAM, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) April 7, 2010 Beijing Dear Distinguished Incoming President and Editor-in-Chief of CIGR E-Journal, Prof.Fedro Zazueta, Dear Honorary president of CIGR, Prof. Bill Stout, Dear colleagues of CIGR, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am very happy to meet so many friends of our CIGR community here for the inaugural ceremony of CIGR E-Journal handover to China . This is a significant landmark in further promotion of the cooperation between CIGR and Chinese agricultural engineering federation. 21 years before in 1989, the Chinese Society for Agricultural Machinery (CSAM) and the Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering (CSAE) were joined as a Chinese Federation of CSAM and CSAE to represent agricultural engineering professional community in China to become a national member of CIGR. Since then, the academic exchange and friendship between Chinese agricultural engineers and colleagues of worldwide agricultural and biological societies have become more and more close link with good cooperation development. In the past 80 years, the CIGR have played a great role in consolidation of worldwide agricultural engineering communities to promote knowledge and experience transfer and contribute to change the conventional agriculture into modern food production system with advanced engineering and management technologies in the world. Some Chinese Scholars have actively involved in CIGR leadership and sessions in promotion of academic activities. In 2004, the CIGR International Conference with the theme of The Olympics of Agricultural Engineering was successfully held in Beijing . I would like to express my sincere thanks to all former and active CIGR leadership, all our friends for their great trust, friendship and cooperation. The CIGR E-Journal Handover to China from today will be much helpful for Chinese federation of CSAM and CSAE to learn more experience for CIGR activities. Here I would like to thank the former president of CIGR, Prof. Bill Stout, for his initiation to propose the CIGR E-Journal Handover to China and to extend CIGR E-Journal editorial experience to Chinese Editorial group in many years. I believe that the editorial board and both the CSAM and CSAE will do best efforts to make the EJournal even great success and continuous getting support and guidance from all of you! I believe the CIGR E-Journal will provide good services to CIGR community in the future! The cooperation of Chinese Federation of CSAM CSAE with CIGR is a multi-win-win strategy. In the past, we all benefited a lot from our successful cooperation. In the future, we will write a new chapter in the further even successful cooperation. Great thanks to CIGR Leaders have made the decision that the 18th CIGR World Congress in 2014 will be held in Beijing , China . We will do our best to co-sponsor this important event. Chinese Agricultural and biological engineering community will maintain a close relationship and cooperation with CIGR and establish a strategic cooperative partnership among CIGR, CSAM and CSAE. The world become flat, the fast advances of information and communication technology will change our working and life pattern and will have chance to use the new technologies to create a harmonious world. Thank you.
王 应 宽 2010-04-14 Beijing, China Address at Inauguration Ceremony of CIGR Ejournal Handover to China Address by Dr Bill Stout CIGR Honorary President Former CIGR Ejournal Editor-in-Chief Good morning to my dear friends and colleagues in China! Good evening to others! I am honored to be invited to participate in this video conference to inaugurate the CIGR Ejournal operations in China. As many of you know, I have been associated with the Ejournal since the original concept was born. It was in August, 1998. I was in Oslo, Norway visiting with CIGR Honorary President, Prof. Egil Berge. We were discussing the need for CIGR to host a means for dispersing technical information to its members in some 95 countries and others interested in agricultural engineering technology around the world. The idea of some kind of international journal emerged. But how? Paper journals are expensive, far beyond the financial resources of CIGR. We talked about the possibility of an electronic journal which has many advantages over paper journals and is much less expensive. I went home and talked with my Texas AM colleagues. They were enthusiastic about the idea and Dr George Sabbagh stepped forward and volunteered to serve as the first Editor-in-Chief. I should also acknowledge the dedicated service of two other Editors-in-Chief---Dr Rosana Moreira and Dr Lingjuan Wang. All these Editors served admirably for several years. The first year, 1999, we published only 7 technical articles and 2 invited overviews. The number of submissions and published articles grew every single year during the first 10 years that I was involved. By the end of 2009 we had published 484 peer reviewed original research papers and 115 invited overviews with authors from 57 countries. All this was done with no cost to authors or readers. But as the Ejournal continued to grow in numbers and quality it became apparent that the workload of processing the submissions was outgrowing the capability of a volunteer Editor-in-Chief to handle. Dr Fedro Zazueta, IT Specialist at the University of Florida (and Incoming President of CIGR) stepped forward and proposed that the Ejournal adopt the Open Journal System, an automated technical journal management system. Everyone agreed so Dr Zazueta was appointed as Editor-in-Chief last year and starting with Volume XI, 2010, the OJS was used. And submissions continued to increase substantially---196 last year. China proposed to host the Ejounal some time ago. Prof. Li Shujun will give details in his address later in this program. That leads us to today---the inauguration of Dr Yingkuan Wang as the Editor-in-Chief under the sponsorship of CSAE and CSAM. Finally, I want to recognize CAAMS and its President, Dr Li Shujun for the moral and financial support for the Ejournal. Details will be given in other presentations. The future of the CIGR Ejournal is bright. It is serving a critical need by providing technical information for both developing countries and industrial countries around the world. It continues to strive for higher quality and is well on its way to becoming as good as any of the best journals in the field of agricultural and biological engineering. I wish the new Editor-in-Chief, Dr Yingkuan Wang and all his colleagues well as they undertake this important assignment. And I look forward to continuing to work as their advisor and supporter. Thank you.
王 应 宽 2010-04- 14 Beijing, China Today is truly a memorable day by Prof. Fedro Zazueta Incoming President and Editor-in-Chief of CIGR Ejournal University of Florida We are now reaping the rewards of the vision of one man, Dr. Bill Stout, to create a knowledge repository in agriculture and biosystems to serve our peers and clients worldwide. We are now in the process of making another major leap towards improving the effectiveness of this resource and improving its quality. During the meeting in Bonn in 2006 a proposal was presented to the Presidium modernize communication resources of CIGR to improve its capacity for outreach to all its stakeholders. The strategy focused on the use of modern IT and included a redesign of the CIGR web site, implementing an management system for the CIGR Journal, developing an online location for proceedings of conference, meetings, symposia and other CIGR events, and improving communications using teleconferencing technologies. During the CIGR International Conference in Brazil in 2008, a major focus was placed in moving the journal to the Open Journal System. With the Help of Dr. Jiannong Xin, Dr. Bill Stout, staff at the University of Florida and Staff at Texas AM University this was achieved in the following year. This established a modern online review system and repository for publications in our profession at no cost to the authors. Today, we are looking at a new horizon. With the support from CSAM and CSAE the level of the Journal is being raised to a higher standard with a dedicated professional editor, Dr. Yingkuan Wang. Im personally pleased and awaiting a new stage in the development of the Journal and its positive influence on our profession worldwide. Thank you and Im looking forward to this close collaboration between CSAM, CSAE and CIGR.
