Aiming at the problems of high working resistance and high energy consumption in potato crop harvesting in sticky soil, this paper designs a potato bionic drag-reducing digging shovel based on the streamline shape of catfish head. Based on the theoretical analysis and discrete element method (DEM) simulation, the main factors affecting the digging resistance are the angle of entry, forward speed and vibration frequency, and the digging resistance increases with the increase of forward speed, and decreases with the increase of vibration frequency. Through the orthogonal test in the field, the optimal working parameters of the drag reduction performance are determined with the digging resistance as the test index, and the comparative test of the different shovel shapes is carried out with this parameter. The results show that the optimal solution is to use bionic shovel, with an entry angle of 15°, an operating speed of 0.27m/s, and a vibration frequency of 6Hz. The average digging resistance of the bionic shovel is 3612.86N, and the bionic digging shovel reduces resistance by 17.76% relative to an ordinary flat shovel, and 21.09% relative to the plane triangle shovel. The effect of drag reduction is remarkable, and the structure of the digging shovel bionic is reasonable, which can satisfy the requirements of resistance reduction and consumption reduction of potato harvesting under the conditions of sticky and heavy soils.

With the aiming of solving problems with the existing ordinary excavator buckets used in the process of operations (such as heavy digging resistance, ease of adhesion, and others), seven types of bionic buckets and a prototype bucket were designed, based on the contractile-state curve of the earthworm head and the contour curve of the pangolin claw toe. The digging processes of the buckets were simulated using the discrete element method. The results show that, compared with the prototype buckets, all seven types of bionic buckets have significant drag reduction effects at the same digging depth, and the drag reduction effects increase with the decrease of digging speed.

Article Synopsis
- - A 61-year-old man with end-stage renal disease and a tunneled dialysis catheter presented for hypoxia after a recent hospital discharge for a neck abscess.
- - Initial ultrasound upon admission showed a pericardial effusion without significant tamponade, but new hypotension developed during his stay, indicating worsening condition.
- - Urgent pericardiocentesis was performed, draining a large volume of fluid, and interventional radiology suspected an endovascular injury as the cause of the hemopericardium related to catheter placement.

FA-MA-Cs ternary cation perovskite exhibits excellent optoelectronic properties and high stabilities against humidity and light soaking and thus has aroused extensive attention in polycrystalline thin film solar cells. Compared with polycrystalline counterparts, FA-MA-Cs ternary cation perovskite single-crystal thin films (SCTFs) have lower defects, better carrier transport capacity, and stability because of lacking grain boundary defects. However, the immature growth technology of SCTFs restricts digging out its optoelectronic potential.
