Microbially‐Mediated Soil Carbon‐Nitrogen Dynamics in Response to Future Soil Moisture Change by Wanyu Li, Gangsheng Wang, Zirui Mu, Shanshan Qi, Shuhao Zhou, Daifeng Xiang

“…Furthermore, microbes and enzymes were key drivers of soil C‐N transformations, with soil enzymes displaying the highest correlation with SSI (nonlinear correlation coefficient based on mutual information = 0.81). This study establishes a foundational relationship between soil C‐N variables and soil moisture, accounting for lag effects, to enhance our understanding of the complex responses of these variables under future climate change scenarios.…”

Estimation of mineral content in forages by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy by Andrej LAVRENČIČ, Bruno STEFANON, Andrej OREŠNIK

“…On the contrary, NIRS did not estimate Na content very accurately (R2 = 0.52; coefficient of variability of cross validation (CVSECV) = 35.5%), suggesting that Na is not closely associated with organic functional groups or that the amount of the mineral is below the level of NIRS detection. …”

Predicting Kinematic Viscosity and Cetane Number of Diesel- Biodiesel Blend Using Neural Network and Empirical Models by M. yari, Gh. Moradi, M. Abdolmaleki, Sh. Bashiri

“…This study tries to estimate two substantial properties of blend, i.e. kinemattic viscosity (KV) and cetane number (CN), through neural network (NN) and empirical models which use pure properties of biodiesel (kinematic viscosity, boiling point, evaporation point, flash point, pour point, heat of combustion, cloud point, and specific gravity) as independent variables. In this regard, a three-layer feed-forward network with varying input parameters, training algorithms, transfer functions, and hidden neurons has been examined to predict the KV and CN of the diesel-biodiesel blend. …”
