Bio‐inspired nanophotonics: Structural color, chirality, and resonance metasurfaces
InfoMat, EarlyView.A butterfly‐wing‐inspired anisotropic plasmonic flatband resonant metasurface. Insets, photo of the butterfly, Sasakia charonda, and the SEM image of its wing scale (above); the SEM image of the metasurface (below). Abstract The dazzling colors of butterfly wings and hummingbird feathers are not painted with pigments, but crafted by nature's invisible ...

The extension of a uniform canopy reflectance model to include row effects [PDF]
The effect of row structure is assumed to be caused by the variation in density of vegetation across rows rather than to a profile in canopy height. The calculation of crop reflectance using vegetation density modulation across rows follows a parallel ...

A workshop on the design of canopy structures
New Trends and Issues Proceedings on Humanities and Social Sciences, 2016 This paper is related to a workshop implemented in Anadolu University, Faculty of Architecture and Design. The “Canopy Structure Design Workshop†lasts 4 weeks. The mentioned workshop was done with a group of 70 2nd year undergraduate students. 14 teams of 5 were made out of these students. They were asked to develop their projects with models.

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Assessing a macroalgal foundation species: community variation with shifting algal assemblages [PDF]
, 2018 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2018Foundation species provide critical food and habitat to their associated communities. Consequently, they are disproportionately important in shaping community structure, promoting greater biodiversity and

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and crop coefficients (Kc) is critical for irrigation planning, particularly in data‐limited regions where agriculture dominates freshwater consumption. Although machine learning (ML) methods have been widely applied to ET0 and Kc estimation, most studies address these parameters ...
