Coordinated regulation of water use-efficiency-cost in a winter wheat-summer maize rotation system and optimization of water allocation strategies by Li Zhao, Congying Han, Yinong Li, Baozhong Zhang, Yulu Zheng, Jiabing Cai

“…In the North China Plain, the winter wheat-summer maize rotation system faces challenges due to the mismatch between precipitation patterns and crop water demands, leading to groundwater over-exploitation and low irrigation efficiency. This study, based on a 2023–2024 field irrigation experiment and the simulation of dynamic field water cycles, examines how water allocation affects crop growth and yield. …”

Government Subsidies and Industrial Productivity in South Africa: A Focus on the Channels by Brian Tavonga Mazorodze

“…Estimation is performed through an endogeneity robust panel stochastic frontier model, which treats subsidies as both an inefficiency driver and a technology variable. An additional estimation approach is proposed integrating the true fixed effects with a control function in a bid to account for both unobserved heterogeneity and idiosyncratic endogeneity. …”

Optimization of Rate of Penetration and Mechanical Specific Energy Using Response Surface Methodology and Multi-Objective Optimization by Diunay Zuliani Mantegazini, Andreas Nascimento, Mauro Hugo Mathias, Oldrich Joel Romero Guzman, Matthias Reich

“…The results show that the RSM method and multi-objective optimization provide better results when compared with 2D analysis of parameters as a function of depth. The RSM method can be used as a tool to analyze the effects of the independent drilling mechanical parameters (WOB, RPM, FLOW, and TOR) on the response variables (ROP and MSE) with a 95% confidence level. …”
