Mapping Soil Available Nitrogen Using Crop-Specific Growth Information and Remote Sensing by Xinle Zhang, Yihan Ma, Shinai Ma, Chuan Qin, Yiang Wang, Huanjun Liu, Lu Chen, Xiaomeng Zhu

“…In maize plantations, the introduction of EVI data during the grouting period increased R² by 0.004–0.033 compared to other growth periods, which is closely related to the nitrogen absorption intensity and spectral response characteristics during the reproductive growth period of crops. (2) Combining the crop types and their optimal period growth information could improve the mapping accuracy, compared with only using the bare soil period image (R² = 0.597)—the R² increased by 0.035, the root mean square error (RMSE) decreased by 0.504%, and the mapping accuracy of R² could be up to 0.632. (3) The mapping accuracy of the bare soil period image differed significantly among different months, with a higher mapping accuracy for the spring data than the fall, the R² value improved by 0.106 and 0.100 compared with that of the fall, and the month of April was the optimal window period of the bare soil period in the present study area. …”

DEVELOPMENT OF A GRAVITATIONAL AND PENDULUM SOLAR TRACKER FOR STANDALONE PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS by Jorge A. Wissmann, Carlos E. C. Nogueira, Marcelo M. M. Zampiva, Jair A. C. Siqueira, Doglas Bassegio

“…A tracking prototype was developed whose structure is classified as chronological due to its fixed rotation, manual as it requires daily adjustment, single-axis azimuthal, and "analog" as it lacks motors, sensors, or algorithms. The results showed that the developed tracking prototype achieved a 9.69% energy production increase during the research period, with peaks of 35.51% on sunny days, and a significant efficiency improvement during the early morning and late afternoon. …”
