A Monthly Water Balance Model for Vineyard Planning and Inter-Row Management by Maria Costanza Andrenelli, Sergio Pellegrini, Claudia Becagli, Alessandro Orlandini, Rita Perria, Paolo Storchi, Nadia Vignozzi

“…The model was tested using data from a three-year field experiment carried out in a vineyard under permanent grass cover (PG) or continuous tillage (CT), allowing for the evaluation of its performance in terms of water balance estimation. The model provided results consistent with the measured soil moisture values, and the annual risk of water stress corresponds to what was measured in the field, differing at most by only one class. …”

A Comparison of Two Dust Uplift Schemes within the Same General Circulation Model by Duncan Ackerley, Manoj M. Joshi, Eleanor J. Highwood, Claire L. Ryder, Mark A. J. Harrison, David N. Walters, Sean F. Milton, Jane Strachan

“…The global annual mean dust aerosol optical depths (at 550 nm) using two different dust uplift schemes were found to be 0.014 and 0.023—both lying within the estimates from the AeroCom project. However, the models also have appreciably different representations of the dust size distribution adjacent to the West African coast and very different deposition at various sites throughout the globe. …”

Experimental Study on Comprehensive Real-Time Methods to Determine Geological Condition of Rock Mass along the Boreholes while Drilling in Underground Coal Mines by Ganggang Niu, Kai Zhang, Bosong Yu, Yanlong Chen, Yu Wu, Jiangfeng Liu

“…The results indicate that the rock mass condition can be quantitatively evaluated using the mean square value of the signal and qualitatively estimated using the energy of the spectrum. In the borehole camera system, the photos of the rock mass along the borehole could be well captured, and the identified rock mass condition was used to verify the results of the MWD and VMWD systems. …”

On the current and future potential of simulations based on directed acyclic graphs by Lutz P. Breitling, Anca D. Dragomir, Chongyang Duan, George Luta

“…Recently, DAGs have been used to demonstrate how missing eligibility information can compromise emulated target trial analysis, a cutting edge approach to estimate treatment effects using real-world data. The importance of simulation for methodological research has received substantial recognition in the past few years, and others have argued that simulating data based on DAGs can be especially helpful for understanding various epidemiological concepts. …”
