Effect of Strain Rate on Hot Ductility of a Duplex Stainless Steel by Zhenhua Wang, Wenyuan Ma, Chengming Wang

“…When the strain rate was increased from 0.005 s–1 to 0.5 s–1, dynamic recrystallization was promoted in the austenite, and the number fraction of low-angle grain boundaries in the ferrite was improved. The higher strain rate reduced the difference between ferrite and austenite in hardness, which improved the hot ductility. …”

A METHOD FOR MONITORING RICE SEED LOSS BASED ON WOA-BP ALGORITHM by Jin Chen, Ting Shi, Yaoming Li, Yahui Zhu, Caoyuan Niu

“…ABSTRACT The combine harvester is a widely used piece of agricultural equipment in modern agriculture, and the seed loss rate is one of the important indexes used to measure its operational performance, so the monitoring of the seed loss rate is crucial for adjusting the operational parameters of combine harvesters and improving the quality of grain harvesting. Aiming at the problems of the slow response speed and low monitoring accuracy of the existing domestic seed loss rate monitoring models, this paper proposed a rice seed loss rate monitoring method based on the whale optimization algorithm-back propagation neural network (WOA-BP). …”

Study and development of methods for predicting the physical and mechanical properties of thin wire and metal cord by E. S. Eltsova, Yu. L. Bobarikin, Yu. V. Martyanov

“…Considering that the deformation manifests anisotropy of the properties of thin wire, the prediction of physical and mechanical properties and the degree of unevenness of deformation becomes an urgent task.The paper studies that an increase in the drawing speed of a thin wire leads to the acquisition of a more uniform and fine‑grained structure. The dependences of the physico‑mechanical properties of thin latuned wire after the metal cord is twisted on the speed of fine drawing are developed. …”

Dynamics of Mean-Variance-Skewness of Cumulative Crop Yield Impact Temporal Yield Variance by Abdullah A. Jaradat

“…Farmers' decision to adopt new management or production system depends on production risk. Grain yield data was used to assess production risk in a field experiment composed of two cropping systems (CNV and ORG), each with eight subsystems (two levels each of crop rotation (2-yr and 4-yr), tillage management (conventional, CT and strip, ST), and fertilizer input (fertilized, YF and non-fertilized, NF)). …”
