Differential effects of rice irrigation modes on hydrothermal environment and yield from the perspective of TOPSIS model by Sun Xuemei, Wang Siyu, Huang Yan, Sun Yanling, Chen Mo

“…Controlling the lower limit of irrigation would increase the effective number of rice tillers and improve the stem tiller spike formation rate, but it would reduce the SPAD and dry matter accumulations. Yield in QSG mode was significantly higher than that in QS and SSG modes, by 4.12% to 4.65% and 18.42% to 14.69%, respectively. (3) Evaluating the integrated hydrothermal changes and rice growth conditions according to the TOPSIS model, the QSG model was superior to the SSG model, and finally the QS model.…”

2D Electrical Resistivity Imaging to delineate the exact boundary and true thickness of granular aquifers by Bakhtiar Q. Aziz, Zana M. Rughzai

“…Also, the true thickness of the saturated gravel is about 57.1% of the apparent thickness of the anomaly, which is formed by the saturated gravel layer. Moreover, the geological model showed that the higher resistivity layer (dry gravel) creates a narrower transitional resistivity zone between clay and gravel than saturated gravel of lower resistivity. …”

Assessment of seasonal soil moisture forecasts over the Central Mediterranean by L. Silvestri, M. Saraceni, B. Brunone, S. Meniconi, G. Passadore, P. Bongioannini Cerlini

“…In these regions, the area under the relative operating characteristic (ROC) curve can reach values larger than 0.8. For all soil layers, dry events are generally better captured than wet events; the best forecast skill, on average, is obtained for the events where the antecedent condition is correspondent to the present condition (dry after dry, wet after wet). …”

Study on Frosting of Air- Cooled Heat Pump Evaporator by Zhang Zhe, Tian Jinjin

“…A mathematical model of air-cooled heat pump finned-tube evaporator was been set up to calculate local performance of the evaporator.The model considers the difference of heat and mass transfer under dry,wet,and frosting conditions and the frost formation varying along tubes.The ordinary finned-tube evaporator was studied theoretically.The computing result shows that the frost layer is not very uniform on the evaporator and it reduces heat transfer of the evaporator.An improved evaporator structure was developed and the heat transfer falling rate of the ordinary evaporator is1.5times larger than that of the improved one.The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental data.…”
