Soiling avoidance by ants

, 2016
"Using both an 8-choice and a single-choice arena displaying organic muck soil and clay varying in moisture, we found that walking ants, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis and Aphaenogaster rudis, were strongly deterred by soiling treatments.

Digital Twin‐Driven Closed Loop for Photovoltaic Power Plant Cleaning Decision‐Making: Considering Spatial Heterogeneity and Self‐Learning Feedback

Digital Twins and Applications
Soiling substantially erodes long‐term PV plant efficiency, making well‐timed cleaning economically critical. Existing methods are mostly open‐loop and hence lacking feedback and adaptation. This work proposes a closed‐loop digital twin framework linking
