Creating a Solar-Powered Drip Irrigation Optimal Performance model (SDrOP) to lower the cost of drip irrigation systems for smallholder farmers by Grant, Fiona, Sheline, Carolyn, Sokol, Julia, Amrose, Susan, Brownell, Elizabeth, Nangia, Vinay, Winter, Amos G.

“…Solar-powered drip irrigation has the potential to increase crop productivity for minimal water use, but these systems are prohibitively expensive for smallholders. Reducing the life cycle cost (LCC) of solar-powered drip irrigation systems could make this technology more accessible, enabling smallholders to increase their household incomes and contribute to greater global food security. …”

Predicting drivers’ route trajectories in last-mile delivery using a pair-wise attention-based pointer neural network by Mo, Baichuan, Wang, Qingyi, Guo, Xiaotong, Winkenbach, Matthias, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Hence, the actual stop sequences chosen by an experienced human driver may be potentially preferable to the theoretical shortest-distance routing under real-life operational conditions. Thus, being able to predict the actual stop sequence that a human driver would follow can help to improve route planning in last-mile delivery. …”

Ultralow threshold optical gain enabled by quantum rings of inverted type-I CdS/CdSe core/crown nanoplatelets in the blue by Delikanli, Savas, Isik, Furkan, Shabani, Farzan, Baruj, Hamed Dehghanpour, Taghipour, Nima, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…Achieving low-threshold optical gain for solution-processed materials is crucial for their real-life applications and deployment as gain media. However, the realization of low gain threshold in the blue region has shown to be technically an extremely challenging task using colloidal nanocrystals as a result of fast nonradiative Auger rates in smaller nanocrystals. …”

Realizing high and stable electrocatalytic oxygen evolution for iron-based perovskites by co-doping-induced structural and electronic modulation by She, Sixuan, Zhu, Yinlong, Wu, Xinhao, Hu, Zhiwei, Shelke, Abhijeet, Pong, Way-Faung, Chen, Yubo, Song, Yufei, Liang, Mingzhuang, Chen, Chien-Te, Wang, Huanting, Zhou, Wei, Shao, Zongping

“…The increased activity and stability of SCFN can be ascribed to co-doping-induced synergistic promotion between structural and electronic modulation, where Ce doping facilitates the formation of a 3D corner-sharing cubic structure and Ni doping gives rise to strong electronic interactions between active sites, which is key to achieving a highly active long-life catalyst. Importantly, this strategy is universal and can be extended to other Fe-based parent perovskite oxides with high structural diversity.…”
