A Method to Predict Rock Fracture with Infrared Thermography Based on Heat Diffusion Analysis by Nai-Fu Deng, Lan Qiao, Qing-wen Li, Jia-Wang Hao, Shan Wu

“…Our method evenly selects 25 small regions on the observed rock surface and uses the data obtained from these regions to derive the global temperature field which contains no uncertainty. By comparing our method with the real temperature field, the deduced diffusion model proposed in this paper can relatively reflect the real crack initiation under increasing loading. …”

Seasonal forecasting of Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel, 1912 (Diptera: Tephritidae) in bioclimatic zones of Sri Lanka using the SARIMA model by W. M. C. D. Wijekoon, G. A. S. M. Ganehiarachchi, H. C. E. Wegiriya, S. P. Vidanage

“…In 2025, the highest predicted B. dorsalis density from the arid zone and the lowest predicted density from the wet zone were recorded. This study contains the first forecasting attempt for B. dorsalis density using the SARIMA approach as well as the application of colour-intensity depiction for its density variation in Sri Lanka, which leads decision makers and stakeholders in economic agriculture to plan the scientific management of B. dorsalis to avoid its current and potential future threat to the country’s fruit industry.…”
