Smooth UAV Path Planning Based on Composite-Energy-Minimizing Bézier Curves by Huanxin Cao, Zhanhe Du, Gang Hu, Yi Xu, Lanlan Zheng

“…Experimental validation in multiple scenarios demonstrates the methodology’s effectiveness and real-time computational viability, where the planned paths by this method have the characteristics of curvature continuity, good smoothness, and short arc length. What is more, in many cases, compared to path smoothing methods based solely on bending energy optimization, the proposed method can generate paths with a smaller maximum curvature, which is more conducive to the safe and stable flight of UAVs. …”

Divergence and convergence in epiphytic and endophytic phyllosphere bacterial communities of rice landraces by Pratibha Sanjenbam, Deepa Agashe

“…Seeds sampled from a focal landrace did not support vertical transmission of phyllosphere bacteria, suggesting that both types of communities are assembled anew each generation. Despite these points of convergence, epiphytic communities had distinct composition and significantly higher microbial load and were more rich, diverse, modular, and unstable than endophytic communities. …”

Impact of carbon emission trading on urban electricity efficiency by SHI Yang, SONG Jia

“…[Results] (1) The pilot policy of carbon emission rights trading has significantly enhanced the urban electricity efficiency; (2) Its mechanism of action mainly lies in that, when the electricity price cannot fully regulate the situation, carbon emission rights trading can increase the supply constraints faced by thermal power enterprises and promote the transformation of their functions to improve the power supply flexibility of these enterprises; (3) When the proportion of thermal power generation in the city's electricity generation is higher, the number of thermal power enterprises participating in carbon emission rights trading is greater, and the total volume of carbon emission rights trading is larger, the effect of enhancing electricity consumption efficiency becomes stronger; (4) The carbon emission rights trading policy not only promotes the improvement of electricity efficiency but also boosts the economic growth of the city and reduces the air pollution level. …”
