Data-centric technology has not undergone widespread adoption in production agriculture but could address global needs for food security and farm profitability. Participants in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) funded conference, “Identifying Ob...
The jack system comprises a container for the hydrogen-absorbing alloy and an end effector thin enough to be applied within a 2 mm thick gap, made of a fiber-reinforced rubber bag. The hydrogen-absorbing alloy (LaNi4.45Co0.5Mn0.05), whose plateau pressure was set to near atmospheric pressure...
There is a pressing need to improve metrics for assessing security and privacy of AI systems and to manage AI technology in a more ethical manner. To address these challenges, an AI Trust Framework and Maturity Model is proposed to enhance trust in the design and management of AI systems. ...
An intermediate fruit catching surface located about 30 cm above the catcher plates on each side decreased the initial falling height for detached blueberries. The padding on the intermediate fruit catching surface reduced the mechanical impact force to the fruit landing on it. Also, ground loss ...
In the fungal model Ustilago maydis, chitinase Cts1 is secreted via an unconventional pathway connected to cell separation which can be used to co-export heterologous proteins. Here, we apply this mechanism for the production of nanobodies. First, we achieved expression and unconventional secretion ...
The company recalled 4.2 million vehicles for floor mat replacements and potential gas pedal redesign. Specific System Thinking Oversight: This is an interesting case (similar to the Kursk) in which the system components were properly identified, but the unintended interactions among components were ...
1.1. Aim and Scope The aim of this paper is to assess the process of applying regenerative thinking and reflect on the outcomes for the participants and the design of the masterplan of a 680-hectare project, "Seacombe West", in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, 217 km southeast of Melbourne....
This framework includes BIM as an information model and a queuing model as a decision-making model. Through case projects, we have presented how this framework can be used for decision making in several statuses. As a result of the analysis using the performance index of the queuing model, ...
The plants were cultivated in different areas of the province of Benevento to verify the rooting, production capacity, and quality of the finished product. The leaves were harvested and dried in an oven at 60 ◦C. The solvents and reagents used in this study were of analytical grade for ...
Introduction Energy, especially electricity, has long been recognized as an essential commodity for everyday life in the contemporary world [1]. It is the main driving force of the human, social, and economic development of any nation. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the ...
