An edge-effect-aware framework for uncertainty-resolved crop mapping and planting-structure monitoring in arid irrigation landscapes

Accurate crop mapping is critical for agricultural water management in the Yellow River Basin under strict water constraints. To address mixed-pixel and noise issues in fragmented landscapes like the Yichang Irrigation Area, this study developed an edge-effect-aware framework. Us...

Load-Pressure-Based Source-Load-Matching Dynamic Pricing and Coordinated Optimization for Multi-Park Integrated Energy Systems

Given that fixed energy tariffs and demand-response compensation rates cannot adequately capture temporal variations in source-load conditions across multi-park integrated energy systems, this study develops a coordinated optimization approach driven by load-pressure-based dynami...

Short-term power forecasting model for distributed wind-PV grid connection based on MIC feature screening and improved FTO optimized XGBoost

Abstract Aiming at the strong randomness, fluctuation, redundant feature interference, low fitting accuracy, and easy local optimum of hyperparameter optimization in traditional distributed wind–photovoltaic grid-connected power forecasting models, a novel hybrid short-term power...

Milking-Order Stability and Stabilization After Herd Entry Under Heat Stress: An Observational Study in a Large Dairy Herd

Heat stress is known to affect dairy cow behavior, but its effects on milking-order patterns and stabilization after herd entry in large commercial herds are not well described. We analyzed 70,491 parlor records from 484 Holstein cows milked three times daily in a free-stall herd...

Rheological Properties and Anti-Icing Performance of Asphalt Modified with Hydrophobic and Salt-Storage Components

Hydrophobic and salt-storage functionalization can impart anti-icing capability to asphalt, but the associated changes in rheological behavior should be evaluated concurrently. In this study, silica aerogel and potassium acetate-loaded diatomite were incorporated as hydrophobic a...

Stackelberg Game-Based Optimal Operation of a Flexible Integrated Energy System with Dual Energy Storage for Source-Load Interaction

Renewable-energy fluctuations and the conflicting economic objectives of independent stakeholders pose simultaneous physical and market challenges to the operation of flexible integrated energy systems (FIESs). To address these issues, this paper develops a market–physical couple...

A Bacterial–Microalgal–Manure Co-Application Ameliorates Saline-Alkali Soil and Promotes Wheat Growth

Severely saline–alkaline land degradation poses a considerable challenge to sustainable agriculture, owing to high salinity, elevated pH, and nutrient deficiency. To address this, a salt-tolerant nitrogen-fixing bacterium (Bacillus sp.) and a microalga (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) wer...

2′‐ Fucosyllactose attenuates estrogen‐deficiency‐associated bone loss and intestinal dysfunction in ovariectomized rats

Abstract BACKGROUND Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO), driven primarily by estrogen deficiency, is the most prevalent form of osteoporosis and a major global health burden. Estrogen deficiency disrupts gut microbial homeostasis, compromises intestinal barrier integrity and promot...

Spatial Variation in Soil Erosion and Potential Pattern of Soil Nutrient Loss in the Southeastern Low Mountains and Hills of the Daxing’anling Mountains

Soil erosion and the nutrient loss it causes are core issues threatening sustainable land use in arid and semi-arid regions. In this study, our aim was to reveal the spatiotemporal differentiation characteristics of soil erosion and soil nutrients in an ecologically fragile area...

Architecting optimized heterostructure for exceptional strength-ductility synergy in Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Mn alloy

Achieving a superior combination of strength and ductility in magnesium (Mg) alloys remains challenging. Heterogeneous microstructures have been demonstrated as an effective strategy to overcome this dilemma. In this study, a remarkable strength-ductility synergy is sustained in...
