Electric field assisted reduction of NOx emission: A numerical study by Sheikh F. Ahmed, Ali Charchi Aghdam, Jackson Pleis, Robert Geiger, Tanvir I. Farouk

“…The paper reports simulation results on the influence of a direct-current driven radial electric field on the emission characteristics; especially NOx and CO of a premixed methane/air laminar jet flame. A multi-physics computational model is developed in the OpenFOAM framework to simulate electric-field-coupled premixed combustion process. …”

<italic>E</italic>-<italic>L</italic>₀: Advanced Surface Segmentation of LiDAR Point Clouds in Open-Pit Mine Stepped Terrain by Tao Chen, Junxiang Tan, Ping Zhou, Gang Hu, Ronghao Yang, Xiubo Wu, Shaoda Li

“…To address this challenge, we propose a new point-cloud segmentation method based on enhanced <italic>L</italic>₀ gradient minimization (<italic>E</italic>-<italic>L</italic>₀), specifically tailored for open-pit mines with benched topography. First, a normalized spatial metric is used to create a supervoxel set that preserves boundary features, thereby reducing the computation and handling density differences. …”

Does institutional openness improve the trade efficiency of China’s agricultural products imported from Central Asian countries? A time-varying stochastic frontier gravity model by Fangfang Cao, Xiande Li, Zhexi Zhang

“…IntroductionInstitutional openness is becoming increasingly important for agricultural trade between China and Central Asian countries.MethodsThis study employs a time-varying stochastic frontier gravity model to investigate the influence of institutional openness on the trade efficiency of China imported agricultural products from Central Asian countries under uncertainty, and further computes the import potential from 2000 to 2022.ResultsThe research reveals that the impacts of different aspects of institutional openness on trade efficiency vary. …”
