A global gross primary productivity of sunlit and shaded canopies dataset from 2002 to 2020 via embedding random forest into two-leaf light use efficiency modelZenodo by Zhilong Li, Ziti Jiao, Ge Gao, Jing Guo, Chenxia Wang, Sizhe Chen, Zheyou Tan

“…We attempt to generate a long-term global dataset for GPP of sunlit (GPPsu) and shaded leaves (GPPsh) by a hybrid model combining the random forest (RF) submodule with the two-leaf light use efficiency (TL-LUE) model. First, the TL-LUE model was optimized by considering the seasonal differences in the clumping index on a global scale (TL-CLUE). …”

Effects of Irrigation Interval and Irrigation Level on Growth, Photosynthesis, Fruit Yield, Quality, and Water-Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Drip-Fertigated Greenhouse Tomatoes (<i>So... by Hongxin Zhang, Hongxia Cao, Zhiming Zhao, Zhiyao Dou, Zhenqi Liao, Zhentao Bai, Sien Li, Fucang Zhang, Junliang Fan

“…Higher irrigation levels increased tomato water consumption and resulted in lower water-nitrogen use efficiency. Overall, compared with W2D2 and W2D3, the yield of W2D1 increased by 8.0% and 26.1%, respectively, and the water productivity increased by 5.7% and 19.3%, respectively, and the soluble sugar increased by 7.1% and 17.5%, respectively. …”

Non-Orthogonal Signal Transmission Over Nonlinear Optical Channels by Tongyang Xu, Tianhua Xu, Polina Bayvel, Izzat Darwazeh

“…Our research demonstrated the benefits of the use of sphere decoding in SEFDM and also demonstrates the performance improvement of long-haul optical communication systems using SEFDM compared to the use of conventional OFDM, when fiber nonlinearities are considered. Different modulation formats ranging from 4QAM to 32QAM are studied and it is shown that, for the same spectral efficiency and information rate, SEFDM signals allow a significant increase in the transmission distance compared to conventional OFDM signals.…”

Light saturation and temperature jointly dominate the diurnal variation of net ecosystem exchange in grassland ecosystems by Haoyu Xia, Honglei Jiang, Chihao Zhang, Jiayu Xu, Xia Xu, Tong Zhang, Yiqin Huang, Xiaoqing Xu, Yiru Zhao, Yuhe Hu, Yinghong Xie

“…(iii) Further investigations revealed the collaborative role of gross primary productivity (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (RECO) in the diurnal variation patterns of NEE. Specifically, the difference in light-use efficiency between the increasing and decreasing stages dominated the difference in GPP for both stages, whereas the difference in air temperature between the increasing and decreasing stages dominated the difference in RECO for both stages. …”

Application of air cooled gas pump heat pipe compound cooling technology in energy storage power station by LIU Qingqing, WANG Fei, WANG Ningbo, SHAO Shuangquan

“…The results show:① lithium batteries work best in the range of 15~35 ℃, and during the charging/discharging process, excessive temperature difference between battery cells can cause series capacity mismatch, insufficient charging between parallel circuit batteries/clusters, and incomplete discharge; ② it is necessary to control the return air temperature of the air-cooled air condition in the energy storage battery cabinet to (25±1)℃; ③ under the same condenser and evaporator configuration, the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of traditional air-cooled air condition and gas pump heat pipe composite air condition is both 2.21 under outdoor operating conditions of 35 ℃, with the EER reaching 3.81 under outdoor operating conditions of 10 ℃, 5.63 under air pump heat pipe composite air condition, indicating good energy-saving potential; and ④ the tested technology is simple, reliable, and has good energy-saving advantages. …”

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IN THE SYSTEM OF ENSURING THE SECURITY OF TRADING ENTERPRISES IN THE DOMESTIC MARKET IN WARTIME CONDITIONS by Марина Полегенька, Алла Сітковська, Петро Віблий, Леся Данчак, Галина Хаварівська

“…To identify the causal impact of the war and the growth of the "security budget" on IFE, a panel regression model with fixed effects and the "difference-in-differences" methodology was used. It was found that, provided that a sufficient level of liquidity was maintained and the debt burden was controlled, individual enterprises were able to maintain (or even improve) their financial efficiency, despite the increase in security costs. …”
