Orchard variable-rate spraying method integrating GNSS and wind-excited audio-conducted leaf area density by Hangxing Zhao, Hangxing Zhao, Hangxing Zhao, Shenghui Yang, Shenghui Yang, Shenghui Yang, Wenwei Li, Wenwei Li, Han Feng, Han Feng, Shijie Jiang, Shijie Jiang, Weihong Liu, Weihong Liu, Jingbin Li, Yongjun Zheng, Yongjun Zheng, Songchao Zhang

“…Compared with conventional constant-rate spraying, the variable-rate mode reduced the longitudinal coefficient of variation (CV) of droplet deposition by 55.75% on adaxial leaf surfaces and by 33.22% on abaxial surfaces, with a maximum reduction of 62.32% in transverse CV. Ground runoff of spray solution was reduced by 62.29%, and droplet deposition density on leaf surfaces exceeded 25 droplets/cm², meeting the standard for low-volume insecticide application.DiscussionThe integration of GNSS and wind-excited audio sensing for real-time canopy density assessment enables more precise and efficient pesticide application in orchards. …”

Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Response of Slab-Column Structures under Fire-Explosion Coupled Effects by LIU Jingbo, YANG Qiong, WU Lei, WANG Chengquan, YU Xiongfei, FANG Mingyu, DONG Tengfang

“…ObjectiveSlab-column structures exhibit inherent vulnerabilities to extreme events due to low structural redundancy. While their response to individual fire or explosion hazards has been studied, the sequential scenario of a fire followed by an explosion presents a complex challenge that is not well understood. …”
