The effect of forest gaps on the diversity and composition of bacterial communities in mixed-type forest soils across the Carpathian mountains by Nejc Suban, Oliver Maksimović, Nataša Šibanc, Tijana Martinović, Eva Darenova, Matjaž Čater, Tine Grebenc

“…Actinobacteriota and Proteobacteria were the dominant phyla across all sites, with higher relative abundance of Actinobacteriota in all rhizosphere samples compared to bulk soil. Complex combinations of various environmental conditions at each sampling location, including soil parameters (mainly pH and C:N ratio), the age of forest gaps, the type and intensity of disturbances, and species composition of above-ground vegetation, can strongly affect soil bacterial communities. …”

Modeling and Simulation of Backlash Dynamics of Worm-Wheel System and Its Gap Size Estimation Using Kalman Filters by Abera Tullu, Jihyoung Cha, Sangho Ko

“…Backlash induces non-linearity in the dynamics of the worm-wheel system, resulting in reduced EMA performance and complex control system design. Therefore, as a part of EMA prognostic and health management (PHM) approaches, we develop a mathematical model of the non-linear dynamic behavior of backlash in the worm-wheel system and derived equations from the model for backlash gap size estimation. …”
