ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF MECHANIZATION TECHNOLOGY OF MINIMUM WORKS IN MAIZE by Anișoara DUMA COPCEA, Nicoleta MATEOC-SÎRB, Lucian NIȚĂ, Teodor MATEOC, Casiana MIHUȚ, Ramona ȘTEF, Daniela SCEDEI, Sorin BUNGESCU

“…This paper aims to highlight the usefulness and economic efficiency of conservative (unconventional) works because this cultivation technology contributes to: reducing soil works to a minimum by reducing the number of machines; reducing soil setting by reducing the number of passes and work operations; reducing water and wind erosion by leaving plant remains on the soil surface; maintaining soil humidity by reducing evaporative water losses because the layer of plant remains are left on the ground; increasing the soil water capacity due to the layer of plant remains that slows water drain on the soil surface thus increasing the infiltration time; improving the physical structure of the soil; increasing the content of humus; and developing biological activity in the soil. …”

A Preemptive Scan Speed Control Strategy Based on Topographic Data for Optimized Atomic Force Microscopy Imaging by Thi Thu Nguyen, Oyoo Michael Juma, Luke Oduor Otieno, Thi Ngoc Nguyen, Yong Joong Lee

“…The AFM system with this variable speed control algorithm was found to reduce the scan time needed for one AFM image by over 50% compared to the fixed-speed scanning while maintaining the similar level of accuracy. The calculated mean square errors (MSEs) show that the combination of speed adjustments and preemptive surface topography prediction has successfully allowed us to suppress the potential oscillations during the speed adjustment process, thereby enhancing the stability of the adaptive AFM system as well.…”
