Intercropping mitigates incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Intercropping reduces the incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex with a significant impact of the direct visual and physical disruption provided by the companion plant. Abstract BACKGROUND Oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) is a major crop requiring numerous phytosanitary treatments.

Blinking Optical Tweezers for Atom Rearrangements

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
The work introduces an energy‐efficient method for holding and rearranging an N ×$\times$ M array of atoms using only N optical tweezers, using just 1M of the optical power per atom. In the proof‐of‐concept experiments, single blinking tweezer holds M = 9 atoms and further facilitates rearrangement M = 4 ∼$\sim$ 5 atoms in various configurations ...

Investigating boreal forest successional stages in Alaska and Northwest Canada using UAV‐LiDAR and RGB and a community detection network

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel application of UAV‐LiDAR and Red Green Blue (RGB) data and network analysis to enhance our understanding of boreal forest succession. The results indicate that tree height and spectral variables are the most influential predictors of plant functional type in random forest algorithms, and high overall accuracies were attained.
