A Deformation Reconstruction Strategy for Integrated Truss Structures Subjected to Thermal–Mechanical Load by Zexing Yu, Xiaofei Ma, Jialong Zhu, Dayu Zhang, Yonggang Xue, Pengfei Huang, Yichen Li, Hao Li

“…This paper proposes a deformation reconstruction strategy tailored for ITSs under combined thermal–mechanical load scenarios wherein deformations of both the primary truss structures and the attached panel systems are investigated. The proposed approach utilizes Ko displacement theory as the core algorithm, while the least squares optimization method is employed to determine the integration with unknown initial values during the reconstruction process. …”

The Impact of Cover Crop Biomass Introduction on the Dynamics of Nutrient Changes and Crop Productivity in Sandy-Clay Soils by Chenyi Li, Xiaohua Shi, Shuo Kong, Liguo Jia, Yonglin Qin, Jing Yu, Kun Liu, Mingshou Fan

“…Subsequent potato cultivation exhibited yield enhancements of 2.51–3.83 t ha⁻¹ relative to non-cover crop systems. Notably, 20% nitrogen reduction in basal fertilization did not compromise tuber yields while significantly improving nitrogen use efficiency by 8.7–12.3 percentage points and partial factor productivity of nitrogen by 14.6–18.9 kg kg⁻¹, indicating optimized nitrogen stewardship under cover crop-mediated soil improvement regimes.…”
