Calibration of Low-Cost Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensors for Irrigation Management Applications by Ahmed A. Abdelmoneim, Christa M. Al Kalaany, Roula Khadra, Bilal Derardja, Giovanna Dragonetti

“…The results showed that with higher soil moisture contents (above 30%), the sensor-to-sensor variability becomes significant, with a coefficient of variation (CV) ranging between 10 and 16%; meanwhile, in lower soil moisture contents, the CV ranged between 6.5 and 10.3%, implying that it is more consistent in lower moisture content within this soil condition. …”

A New Legendre Collocation Method for Solving a Two-Dimensional Fractional Diffusion Equation by A. H. Bhrawy

“…A new spectral shifted Legendre Gauss-Lobatto collocation (SL-GL-C) method is developed and analyzed to solve a class of two-dimensional initial-boundary fractional diffusion equations with variable coefficients. The method depends basically on the fact that an expansion in a series of shifted Legendre polynomials PL,n(x)PL,m(y), for the function and its space-fractional derivatives occurring in the partial fractional differential equation (PFDE), is assumed; the expansion coefficients are then determined by reducing the PFDE with its boundary and initial conditions to a system of ordinary differential equations (SODEs) for these coefficients. …”
