Analysis of glove local microclimate properties for various glove types and fits using 3D scanning method by Ankit Joshi, Rui Li, Yulin Wu, Mengying Zhang, Guowen Song

“…Gloves are the most common for hand protection during exposure to extreme thermal and hazardous environments. Although glove microclimate properties such as area factor, air gap thickness, and contact area play a significant role in thermal protection, identifying local (at individual hand segments) glove microclimate properties is still a research gap. …”

Effect of lime application on soil respiration is modulated by understory vegetation in subtropical Eucalyptus L’Hér. plantations by Juan Liu, Rui Li, Jianhong Xu, Shenglei Fu, Songze Wan

“…However, the effect of these two management methods, or their combined application, on soil respiration in forest plantation settings is still not fully understood.MethodsHere, a field experiment was conducted to determine how lime application, understory clearance, and their combined application, would impact total soil respiration (Rs), autotrophic respiration (Ra), and heterotrophic respiration (Rh) in a Chinese subtropical Eucalyptus plantation. Changes in soil microclimate and microbial community (PLFAs), as well as Eucalyptus fine root biomass were also assessed.ResultsLime application stimulated Rh, but decreased Ra of understory vegetation (primarily Dicranopteris dichotoma), thus consequently inhibiting Rs. …”

Automatic Extraction for Land Parcels Based on Multi-Scale Segmentation by Fei Liu, Huizhong Lu, Lilei Wu, Rui Li, Xinjun Wang, Longxi Cao

“…Different land parcels possess unique microclimates, soils, and biological conditions, which in turn significantly influence the land parcels themselves, impacting biodiversity, hydrological relationships, land degradation, geological disasters, and other ecological environments. …”
