Machine learning solutions for integrating partially overlapping genetic datasets and modelling host–endophyte effects in ryegrass (Lolium) dry matter yield estimation by Jiashuai Zhu, Jiashuai Zhu, M. Michelle Malmberg, Maiko Shinozuka, Renata M. Retegan, Noel O. Cogan, Noel O. Cogan, Joe L. Jacobs, Joe L. Jacobs, Khageswor Giri, Kevin F. Smith, Kevin F. Smith

“…To address these challenges: (1) we implemented a population genotyping approach to capture the genetic diversity in ryegrass base cultivars; (2) we introduced a machine learning-based strategy to integrate genetic distance matrices (GDMs) from incompatible genotyping approaches, including alignments using multidimensional scaling (MDS) and Procrustes transformation, as well as a novel evaluation strategy (BESMI) for the imputation of structural missing data. Endophytes complicate genetic evaluation by introducing additional variation in phenotypic expression. (3) We modelled the impacts of nine commercial endophytes on ryegrass DMY, enabling a more balanced estimation of untested cultivar–endophyte combinations. (4) Phylogenetic analysis provided a pseudo-pedigree relationship of the 113 ryegrass populations and revealed its associations with DMY variations. …”

Effect of double-layer formwork curing on the early temperature field and properties of precast concrete components in environments with large diurnal temperature variations by Yue Tong, Weikang Kong, Zhihong Duan, Lei Ma, Rongxin Guo, Ya Wei

“…Indoor experiments and two finite element methods (The complete simulation method focuses on computational accuracy, and the equivalent simulation method emphasizes computational efficiency) were employed to analyze the evolution of the concrete temperature field under different double-layer formwork curing methods throughout the curing period, combined with compressive strength and pore structures testing. The results show that steel + 5-mm-thick PU insulation formwork curing method can significantly mitigate the impact of large diurnal temperature variations on the internal temperature of concrete. …”
