, 2002 Making a tillage management decision for 2003 starts now. The first decision is what tillage, if any, needs to be done after harvest. Because crop residue from harvest is still on top of the soil (and spread evenly from the combine), fall is the best ...

Infrared Colloidal Quantum Dot Edge Emitting Lasers Integrated on Silicon
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.In this work, the first monolithic integration of Pb‐chalcogenide CQDs in an edge‐emitting DFB laser cavity onto a Si/SiO2 substrate has been demonstrated. The optimizations of SiO2 layer thickness, engineering of the grating duty cycle, and implementing λ/4 phase shift resulted in the achievement of spectrally pure, single‐mode lasing at 1650 nm with ...

Effects of No-Tillage Production Practices on Crop Yields as Influenced by Crop and Growing Environment Factors [PDF]
This paper evaluated differences between yields of no-tillage compared to conventional or reduced tillage and their associated downside risk. Six crops were evaluated along with how those yields and risks differed by various environmental factors such ...

Resistencia a penetraçao de um latossolo vermelho amarelo do cerrado sob diferentes sistemas de manejo [PDF]
, 2008 The intensification of agricultural production systems has caused soil compaction even when soil conservation technologies are adopted. Soil compaction is one of the main problems for farmers, both in no-tillage and in conventional-tillage systems, as ...

Reducing Personalization Time and Energy Cost While Walking Outdoors with a Portable Exosuit
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Rapid Real‐World Optimization! An AF‐based human‐in‐the‐loop optimization strategy rapidly personalizes a portable hip extension exosuit for incline walking. Real‐time Bayesian optimization of assistive force significantly reduces metabolic energy—up to 16.2%—while converging in just 3 min 24 s.

"No-Till" Farming Is a Growing Practice [PDF]
Most U.S. farmers prepare their soil for seeding and weed and pest control through tillage—plowing operations that disturb the soil. Tillage practices affect soil carbon, water pollution, and farmers’ energy and pesticide use, and therefore data on ...

No-Tillage in Europe - State of the Art: Constraints and Perspectives [PDF]
, 2008 No-tillage in Europe contains a review of developments over the last three decades beginning in the late 1960s. Reasons for attempts to introduce this soil conserving production method are outlined and obstacles affecting the uptake of no-tillage ...

No-till banana planting on crop residue mulch: Effect on soil quality and crop functioning [PDF]
, 2010 Introduction. In the French West Indies, farmers generally consider that periodical soil tillage is necessary to increase soil porosity and maintain high yield.
