Precision planter monitoring system based on mobile communication network

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Sowing is an important link in agricultural production and the basis for ensuring high yields and bumper harvests. Agriculture requires precision plows with good performance and stable work. However, the seeding process is in a completely closed state, and the operator relies mainly on experience to judge the operating state and performance of

Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Sport, Agency and Pigeon Snaring in the Ancient Tongan Chiefdom

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pigeon snaring was an élite sport in the traditional Tongan chiefdom, undertaken on purpose‐built mounds known as sia heu lupe. LiDAR imagery combined with field survey and mound documentation on the island of Tongatapu has identified a comprehensive corpus of these sites.

Deciphering the Palimpsest: Chronological Uncertainty and the Interpretation of Mining Landscapes at Písečný vrch (Czech Republic)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigated the Písečný vrch (Czech Republic), a site exploited for quartz mining in both prehistoric times and the 20th century. Due to their morphological similarity across all mining periods, the differentiation between pits with archaeological potential and recent ones is challenging.

Dark Heritage Prospection ‐ Mapping the Treblinka II Extermination Camp Using a Magnetometer Survey and Integrated Archival Sources

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The history of Nazi German extermination camps has, until recently, relied primarily on eyewitness testimony. Very few official documents detailing the facilities survived the war due to the special operation ‘Sonderaktion 1005’, dedicated to hiding their existence and extent.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Cut Grasslands Renovated with Full Inversion Tillage, Shallow Tillage, and Use of a Tine Drill in Nasu, Japan

Agriculture, 2020
To restore the productivity of a deteriorated sward due to weed invasion, renovation (re-sowing) is necessary. However, the renovation method used can affect the sward’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and herbage yield.

Restoring joint homeostasis: A dynamically adaptive meniscal scaffold prevents osteoarthritis by replicating native biomechanics

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This work establishes a paradigm shift from static structural mimicry to dynamic functional replication. By restoring the native “compression‐to‐tension” mechanism, the scaffold ensures robust mechanical stability and superior chondroprotection.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...
