The study investigates 3D‐printed polylactic acid (PLA) composites with biodegradable bamboo and jute powder fillers. Mechanical, thermal, structural properties, and rheological behavior are discussed to evaluate composite performance. Morphological characterization indicates uniform dispersion and adhesion of the fillers in the PLA matrix with the ...

Sono‐Piezo‐Photosynthesis of Ethylene and Acetylene from Bioethanol under Ambient Conditions
A novel sono‐piezo‐photocatalytic strategy enables the conversion of bioethanol to ethylene (C2H4) and acetylene (C2H2) under ambient conditions, addressing the limitations of conventional methods that are high‐temperature and energy‐intensive. By using an advanced graphene oxide/sodium bismuth titanate heterostructure catalyst, this work achieved ...

Insights into the Positive Effect of Pyraclostrobin on Sugarcane Productivity [PDF]
Achieving high yields is a challenge for sugarcane producers due to the diverse environmental conditions to which the crop is subjected. In tropical and subtropical regions, where sugarcane is typically cultivated, crop diseases are common. This necessitates the development of disease management techniques.

Generalizable semi-supervised learning method to estimate mass from sparsely annotated images [PDF]
Mass flow estimation is of great importance to several industries, and it can be quite challenging to obtain accurate estimates due to limitation in expense or general infeasibility. In the context of agricultural applications, yield monitoring is a key component to precision agriculture and mass flow is the critical factor to measure.

Analysis of the agricultural productivity of the sugarcane crop in regions of new agricultural expansions of sugarcane [PDF]
Abstract The launching of biofuel vehicles in 2003 led to ethanol demand increase and a new phase of expansion of sugarcane cultivation in Brazil. Although the increase in area of production and the quantity of sugarcane produced have been very important to Brazilian agribusiness, the recent agricultural productivity rate has slowed.
