Tracking Accuracy Evaluation of Autonomous Agricultural Tractors via Rear Three-Point Hitch Estimation Using a Hybrid Model of EKF Transformer by Eun-Kuk Kim, Tae-Ho Han, Jun-Ho Lee, Cheol-Woo Han, Ryu-Gap Lim

“…While traditional time-series models, such as LSTM and GRU, show limitations in predicting nonlinear data, the application of an attention mechanism was found to enhance prediction performance by effectively learning temporal dependencies and vibration patterns. The experimental results show that the EKF-based estimation achieved a precision of RMSE 1.6 mm, a maximum error of 12.6 mm, and a maximum standard deviation of 3.9 mm compared to actual measurements. …”

Parametric Design and Mechanical Characterization of a Selective Laser Sintering Additively Manufactured Biomimetic Ribbed Dome Inspired by the Chorion of Lepidopteran Eggs by Alexandros Efstathiadis, Ioanna Symeonidou, Emmanouil K. Tzimtzimis, Dimitrios Avtzis, Konstantinos Tsongas, Dimitrios Tzetzis

“…Quasi-static compression testing was carried out in conjunction with finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the deformation patterns and stress dispersion of the models. The biomimetic ribbed dome appears to significantly dampen the snap-through behavior that is observed in typical solid and lattice domes, decreasing dynamic stresses developed during the response and preventing catastrophic failure of the structure. …”

Travel Behaviour and Community Needs for Resilience Hubs by Thayanne G.M. Ciriaco, Stephen D. Wong

“…Modelling results found a strong influence of household characteristics on the normal usage of resilience hubs, while individual characteristics were more influential on hub usage as a temporary shelter. No clear patterns of variables influenced mode choice (travel to/from hubs), except the insignificance of resilience hub usage (i.e., trip purpose) for normal conditions. …”

Somatic cell count in dairy goats II: udder health monitoring at goat and herd level by Marit Smistad, Ragnhild Aabøe Inglingstad, Marie K. Vatne, Fiona Valerie Franklin, Bjørn Gunnar Hansen, Siv Skeie, Davide Porcellato

“…The somatic cell count levels in goats with S. aureus were in most cases well distinguished from those with no or minor pathogen findings when adjusting according to parity, pasture-status, and lactation stage. The patterns of routinely measured bulk milk parameters, along with analyses of bacteriological composition, provided a rough indication of the herd’s udder health status.…”
