Agricultural Diversification at the Margin. Strategies and Determinants in Italian Mountain and Remote Areas

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the convergence in on‐farm diversification strategies of agricultural holdings, between remote areas and more central ones. Using Italian farm‐level data, we explore the determinants of diversification strategies across farms.

Soil physical attributes in different systems of agroecosystem management in Caparaó territory

, 2020
Comprehending impacts of soil management and use on its physical attributes is essential to develop sustainable agricultural systems. This study evaluated the behavior of soil physical properties under different types of use and management in “Caparaó Capixaba” territory, state of Espírito Santo.

Erosion of granular sediments by submerged impinging jets: Particle size effects and cohesion onset

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the erosion behavior and modeling of glass particle beds under impinging jet conditions, with a focus on particle size effects and the onset of cohesion. Ultrasonic profiling is implemented to scan and measure static crater profiles.

Graph‐based imitation and reinforcement learning for efficient Benders decomposition

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This work introduces an end‐to‐end graph‐based agent for accelerating the computational efficiency of Benders Decomposition. The agent's policy is parameterized by a graph neural network, which takes as input a bipartite graph representation of the master problem and proposes a candidate solution.

Effects of sustainable management of Caatinga under physical attributes of the soil

, 2018
Objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade do solo, em áreas da Caatinga submetidas a diferentes sistemas de manejo, tendo como parâmetros os atributos físicos do solo. As formas de manejo adotadas foram: (1) área de manejo sustentável da Caatinga; (2) área de Caatinga com manejo convencional; e (3) área de Caatinga considerada mata nativa.

Scale‐up of Streptomyces species cultivations based on the morphological response to the energy dissipation rate

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Filamentous microorganisms exhibit complex morphologies that influence product formation and are affected by various bioprocess parameters. Consistent morphology is therefore essential for comparable results during scale‐up. This study investigates the scale‐up of Streptomyces species (Streptomyces spp.) cultivations from shake flasks to ...

Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...
