Stochastic Model Predictive Control Using Indirect Feedback With a Modified Terminal Constraint

open access: yesOptimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a novel dynamic terminal set approach for the model predictive control (MPC) design. It concerns the class of linear systems subject to stochastic disturbances and builds upon an indirect feedback (IF) strategy. The main contribution is to explore the time‐varying definition of the constraints in the indirect feedback SMPC (IF‐SMPC)

Coverage‐based rarefaction fails to quantify relative species richness

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Coverage‐based rarefaction (CBR) is a high‐profile tool for assessing biodiversity that provides relative species richness estimates by leveraging the Good‐Turing index u to interpolate. In contrast to alternatives such as the Shannon and Simpson indices, CBR's main appeal is providing values in units of species. CBR is tested against a series of other

Moisture Absorption in Highly Porous Closed‐Cell Polymeric Foams

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
The conventional one‐dimensional hindered diffusion model has been extended into a new Void Filling Hindered Diffusion Model. By quantifying the moisture stored within closed‐cell pores, this model successfully captures the distinct absorption behaviors observed across varying foam thicknesses.

Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Host resistance modulates in planta efficacy of seed‐applied fluxapyroxad against spot form net blotch in barley

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Barley variety influences fluxapyroxad efficacy by affecting distribution and dissipation of the active ingredient, with plant biomass contributing to these differences. Abstract BACKGROUND Seed‐applied fungicides are used to protect barley seedlings from spot form net blotch, caused by Pyrenophora teres f. maculata, among other diseases.
