Robotic apple thinning is constrained by a single field season confined to a few weeks each year. An efficient design process screens four detachment concepts off‐season using an artificial fruitlet structure, with field trials identifying vacuum suction and rotation as the most effective approach.

Flying Through Cluttered and Dynamic Environments With Light Detection and Ranging
A LiDAR‐based navigation system enables UAVs to autonomously fly through cluttered environments while avoiding high‐speed dynamic obstacles. With a total module computation latency of about 12.28 ms and the worstcase perception‐to‐action latency of around 22 ms theoretically, the system successfully avoids obstacles of diverse sizes, geometries, and ...

ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic dilation is first‐line therapy for symptomatic benign esophageal strictures but remains operator‐dependent. Artificial intelligence (AI) could support assessment, risk stratification, and documentation; however, evidence from adjacent tasks is often mistaken for procedure‐specific validation.

Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Are dairy cows replaced too early? Evidence from a structural model and cow‐level data
Abstract In past analyses of animal replacement decisions, studies have claimed that dairy farms often replace dairy cows too early to be maximizing profits. I estimate a structural model of asset replacement to determine the motives behind early replacement of dairy cows.
