DEVELOPMENT OF DRY-SCALE CLEANER CUM GRADER FOR STORED ONION BULBS (ALLIUM CEPA L.) by Jamel SALO, Emmanuel SICAT

“…This study sought to develop a dry-scale cleaner cum grader for stored onion bulbs to simplify operations, reduce labor costs, minimize operation losses, and generate more income for the onion farmers. The design of the machine parts was computed based on the onions' average physical (shape, size, surface area, density, colour, and weight) and mechanical (hardness, compressive strength, impact, and shear resistance) properties. …”

Satellite Altimetry-based Extension of global-scale in situ river discharge Measurements (SAEM) by P. Saemian, O. Elmi, M. Stroud, R. Riggs, B. M. Kitambo, F. Papa, G. H. Allen, M. J. Tourian

“…These water level time series are sourced from both existing Level-3 water level time series and newly generated ones within this study. The Level-3 data are gathered from pre-existing data sets, including Hydroweb.Next (formerly Hydroweb), the Database of Hydrological Time Series of Inland Waters (DAHITI), the Global River Radar Altimetry Time Series (GRRATS), and HydroSat. (3) SAEM's third product is rating curves for the defined VSs, which map water level values into discharge values, derived using a nonparametric stochastic quantile mapping function approach. …”

Exploring Two Modified Ali-Mikhail-Haq Copulas and New Bivariate Logistic Distributions by Christophe Chesneau

“…The second copula offers another modeling option; it is exchangeable like the Ali-Mikhail-Haq copula, but it benefits from a broader range of negative dependence correlations and more adaptable tail dependence properties. For the two proposed copulas, we investigate their main characteristics, including quadrant dependence, copula density function, conditional copulas, couples of value generation, extended variants via standard copula schemes, comprehensive copula orders, and weighted harmonic mean copula transformations. …”

Reflections and trajectories for interdisciplinary research on the energy transition by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…The goals of climate neutrality by 2050 and the reduction of CO2 emissions by 55% (compared to the 1990 level) by 2030 (European Commission, 2019, 2021) pose the European Union, and even more so the rest of the world, with several complex issues, including a significant increase in ‘clean’ energy production from alternative and renewable sources, the reduction of energy poverty, greater security of energy supply and a drastic decrease in dependence on energy imports; at the same time, the aim is to foster modern economic growth decoupled from the use of non-renewable resources, the creation of new jobs, and to generate environmental and health benefits, objectives with inevitable cultural, political, economic, production, technological and social implications to be addressed both within one’s borders and in foreign policy. …”
