A two-stage hybrid NSGA-III with BWO for path planning and task allocation in agricultural land preparation.

Automated large-scale farmland preparation operations face significant challenges related to path planning efficiency and uniformity in resource allocation. To improve agricultural production efficiency and reduce operational costs, an enhanced method for planning land preparation paths is proposed. In the initial stage, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are employed to collect data from the field, which is then used to construct accurate farm models.

Variation of the Start Date of the Vegetation Growing Season (SOS) and Its Climatic Drivers in the Tibetan Plateau.

Climate change inevitably affects vegetation growth in the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Understanding the dynamics of vegetation phenology and the responses of vegetation phenology to climate change are crucial for evaluating the impacts of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. Despite many relevant studies conducted in the past, there still remain research gaps concerning the dominant factors that induce changes in the start date of the vegetation growing season (SOS).

Fusion of Infrared and Visible Images Based on Three-Scale Decomposition and ResNet Feature Transfer.

Image fusion technology can process multiple single image data into more reliable and comprehensive data, which play a key role in accurate target recognition and subsequent image processing. In view of the incomplete image decomposition, redundant extraction of infrared image energy information and incomplete feature extraction of visible images by existing algorithms, a fusion algorithm for infrared and visible image based on three-scale decomposition and ResNet feature transfer is proposed. Compared with the existing image decomposition methods, the three-scale decomposition method is used to finely layer the source image through two decompositions.

Ni W -W Interconnected Hybrid Prepared by Atmosphere- and Thermal-Induced Phase Separation for Efficient Electrocatalysis of Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution.

The development of efficient and stable noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media is still a challenge. Herein, a hybrid material formed by the interconnection of Ni W intermetallic compound with metallic W is demonstrated for HER. The Ni W -W hybrid is prepared by the atmosphere- and thermal-induced phase-separation strategy from a single-phase precursor (NiWO ), which gives Ni W -W hybrid abundant and tight interfaces.

Amorphous Ni-Fe-Mo Suboxides Coupled with Ni Network as Porous Nanoplate Array on Nickel Foam: A Highly Efficient and Durable Bifunctional Electrode for Overall Water Splitting.

It is a great challenge to fabricate electrode with simultaneous high activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, a high-performance bifunctional electrode formed by vertically depositing a porous nanoplate array on the surface of nickel foam is provided, where the nanoplate is made up by the interconnection of trinary Ni-Fe-Mo suboxides and Ni nanoparticles. The amorphous Ni-Fe-Mo suboxide and its in situ transformed amorphous Ni-Fe-Mo (oxy)hydroxide acts as the main active species for HER and OER, respectively.

Confined Red Phosphorus in Edible Fungus Slag-Derived Porous Carbon as an Improved Anode Material in Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Red phosphorus (RP) as the anode material for the sodium-ion battery (SIB) possesses a high energy density, but the poor electronic conductivity and huge volume change during Na insertion/extraction restrict its application. In this work, the edible fungus slag-derived porous carbon (PC) is adopted as a carbon matrix to combine with RP to form PC@RP composites through a facile vaporization-condensation approach. The conductive porous carbon architecture improves the transfer of electron and Na in the composite.

Facile Synthesis of Carbon-Coated Spinel LiTiO/Rutile-TiO Composites as an Improved Anode Material in Full Lithium-Ion Batteries with LiFePO@N-Doped Carbon Cathode.

The spinel LiTiO/rutile-TiO@carbon (LTO-RTO@C) composites were fabricated via a hydrothermal method combined with calcination treatment employing glucose as carbon source. The carbon coating layer and the in situ formed rutile-TiO can effectively enhance the electric conductivity and provide quick Li diffusion pathways for LiTiO. When used as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the rate capability and cycling stability of LTO-RTO@C composites were improved in comparison with those of pure LiTiO or LiTiO/rutile-TiO.

The effects of elevated CO2 on clonal growth and nutrient content of submerge plant Vallisneria spinulosa.

An approximately four months long glasshouse experiment was conducted to examine the effects of elevated carbon dioxide (CO(2)) concentration (1,000 +/- 50 micromol mol(-1)) in the atmosphere on biomass accumulation and allocation pattern, clonal growth and nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) accumulation by the submerged plant Vallisneria spinulosa Yan. Elevated CO(2) significantly increased V. spinulosa total fresh biomass ( approximately 130%) after 120 days, due to more biomass accumulation in all morphological organs than in those at ambient CO(2) (390 +/- 20 micromol mol(-1)).
