Iterative rolling difference-Z-score and machine learning imputation for wind turbine foundation monitoring.

In engineering structure performance monitoring, capturing real-time on-site data and conducting precise analysis are critical for assessing structural condition and safety. However, equipment instability and complex on-site environments often lead to data anomalies and gaps, hindering accurate performance evaluation. This study, conducted within a wind farm reinforcement project in Shandong Province, addresses these challenges by focusing on anomaly detection and data imputation for weld nail strain, anchor cable axial force, and concrete strain.

Spatial yield gains in empty-row optimized rice-crab co-culture are linked to -driven nitrogen compensation in border rows.

Introduction: The rice-crab coculture system is ecologically sustainable with efficient resource utilization, but the soil nitrogen cycling mechanisms underlying yield limitations in different coculture models remain unclear. Here, we aimed to identify yield-limiting factors by comparing rice productivity between the conventional rice-crab coculture model (CK) and an optimized model (12 rows cultivated-1 row empty, ERC-12). We hypothesized that ERC-12 enhances crab activity in empty rows, thereby stimulating nifH-mediated soil nitrogen fixation to offset yield losses caused by reduced planting density.

The genomic history of East Asian Middle Neolithic millet- and rice-agricultural populations.

The Yellow and Yangtze river basins in China are among the world's oldest independent agricultural centers, known for the domestication of millet and rice, respectively, yet their genetic history is poorly understood. Here, we present genome-wide data from 74 Middle Neolithic genetic samples from these regions, showing marked genetic differentiation but bidirectional gene flow, supporting a demic diffusion model of mixed farming. Yellow River populations exhibit distinct genetic substructures resulting from interactions with surrounding groups during the mid-Neolithic expansion of millet agriculture.

Biological Function of Medium-Chain Fatty Acids and Their Application in Aquatic Animals: A Review.

Medium-chain fatty acid triglycerides (MCTs) possess antibacterial, antiviral, nutritional, and other biological activities and have demonstrated significant application potential in humans and terrestrial animals. In recent years, with the development of the green aquaculture industry, MCTs have been gradually applied to aquaculture animals, which can enhance growth performance, improve flesh quality, regulate lipid metabolism, boost immune activity, and modulate the intestinal flora, thereby improving the production efficiency of aquaculture. This paper elaborates in detail on the biological activities of MCTs and their applications in aquatic animals, providing a theoretical and practical basis for the application of MCTs in aquaculture.

Exploring the Biodiversity of Substituted Imidazole: Novel Synthetic Strategy of Polysubstituted Imidazole as Insecticidal and Antibacterial Agents.

The exponential rise in resistance to pesticides and conventional antibiotics is another important factor propelling the development of novel medicines and substances with insecticidal efficacy.

Conspecific egg consumption of Ephestia kuehniella neonates enhanced by Trichogramma evanescens parasitism: provoked cannibalism turns into a predation reversal in the host-parasitoid trophic system.

Background: Cannibalism directly affects the cannibal species and may indirectly influence its ecological interactions. However, its impact on trophic interactions remains underexplored, especially when cannibals consume parasitized conspecifics, potentially leading to predation reversal.

Results: This study investigated whether parasitism of host eggs provokes cannibalism that could potentially trigger predation reversal and hinder the outcomes of biological control in an insect-insect model, particularly with a parasitoid as the secondary consumer and a lepidopteran host as the primary consumer.
