Synergistic benefits of agrivoltaics for grape production and solar energy efficiency in a Mediterranean vineyard

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grapevine production is increasingly challenged by global warming, with global wine output falling to a six‐decade low in 2024. At the same time, the vine and wine sector faces growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Agrivoltaics, which integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) modules into plant production systems, offers a potential pathway to ...

Optimization Approach for Resource Allocation on Cloud Computing for IoT

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2016
Combinatorial auction is a popular approach for resource allocation in cloud computing. One of the challenges in resource allocation is that QoS (Quality of Service) constraints are satisfied and provider's profit is maximized.

Digital Twin‐Based Optimization of Service Availability in LEO Mega Constellations Considering Handover Delays in Open RAN

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As non‐terrestrial networks (NTNs) become integral to future 6G systems, ensuring seamless connectivity and service continuity over low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations is essential. This work investigates the impact of open radio access network (RAN) functional splits on handover performance in NTNs, focusing on minimizing service ...

Security Shaping Sustainability: The Difference Between Securitized and Community‐Based Conservation in Benin

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global conservation efforts intensify, balancing environmental protection with social sustainability has become increasingly urgent. This study employs a comparative case study approach to examine two natural resource management interventions in northern Benin: one led by African Parks in an insecure zone, and another by TMG Research in a ...

Microfluidic Capillary Arrays for Pixelated Control of Multimaterial Flows

Small, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printed pixellated capillary array maps up to thousands of fluid inputs into arbitrary multimaterial flow cross‐sections. Automated manifold design and laminar scaling are used to amplify printing resolution orders of magnitude, generating microscale fluidic control from printed elements, enabling designed microflows for potential use in ...

Distributed, asynchronous algorithms for network control with contracted flow rates – a review

Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2006
The paper reviews current algorithms for distributed, asynchronous control of networks when the customer is guaranteed to get some predetermined (e.g., as a part of a service level agreement – SLA) values of flow.

Influence of Surface Roughness and Temperature on Niobium Cathodic Cage Duplex Treatment Applied to VP20TS Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
Niobium cathodic cage duplex treatment is applied to VP20TS steel to evaluate the influence of surface roughness and temperature on coating performance. Results show that higher temperatures promote thicker nitride layers and increased microhardness, while finer surface preparation enhances adhesion and wear resistance, revealing optimal conditions for

Pre‐task Vocabulary Support Enhances Lexical Learning but Dampens Positive Emotions: Interactive Task Implementation in English‐as‐a‐Foreign‐Language Classroom

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This classroom study explored the effects of vocabulary support on collocation learning and affective responses in task‐based language teaching (TBLT) among English‐as‐a‐foreign‐language (EFL) learners at a Japanese university. For this purpose, 68 EFL learners completed two interactive information‐gap tasks under either vocabulary‐support or ...
