Deep learning and computer vision will transform entomology

ABSTRACT Most animal species on Earth are insects, and recent reports suggest that their abundance is in drastic decline. Although these reports come from a wide range of insect taxa and regions, the evidence to assess the extent of the phe...

Development of Machine Learning Models to Predict Compressed Sward Height in Walloon Pastures Based on Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and Meteorological Data Using Multiple Data Transformations

Accurate information about the available standing biomass on pastures is critical for the adequate management of grazing and its promotion to farmers. In this paper, machine learning models are developed to predict available biomass express...

MATCHA, a novel regional hydroclimate-chemical reanalysis: System description and evaluation

We present MATCHA (Model for Atmospheric Transport and Chemistry in Asia), a 17-year (2003–2019) regional hydroclimate-chemical reanalysis for Asia (58–140° E, 4– 40° N) at 12 km resolution. MATCHA couples the Weather Research and Forecasti...

Precision Microalgae: A New Conceptual Framework for Bioengineering Applications

Microalgae are promising platforms for biomass production, carbon capture, biofuels, and high-value bioproducts. However, despite significant advances in cultivation technologies, reactor engineering, and metabolic engineering, industrial i...

Assessing carbon and economic loss from oak decline in Iran’s Zagros forests using Sentinel-2 and machine learning

Over recent decades, the decline of oak trees, which has emerged as the most significant challenge to the Zagros forests (ZFs), poses serious threats to carbon storage (CS) and economic valuation, jeopardizing the ecological and economic su...

Biomass to bioenergy transition through sustainable bioconversion and circular bioeconomy strategies.

Investigation of Non-Isothermal Kinetics and Thermodynamic Parameters for the Pyrolysis of Different Date Palm Parts

Using the thermalgravimetric technique, we investigated the non-isothermal combustion kinetics of abundant and low-cost date palm wastes (leaflet, rachis, fibers, and their composite) as potential biomass energy sources. The kinetic and the...
