1. GRASSVISTOCK: modeling water fluxes in agro-pastoral systems 

   Leolini, Luisa; Moriondo, Marco; Brilli, Lorenzo; et al. (2023)

   PROCEEDINGS OF 2023 IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON METROLOGY FOR AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY, METROAGRIFOR

   Climate change is currently threatening agro-pastoral systems around the world. Increased temperature and prolonged drought periods are reducing the capacity of these environments to provide several ecosystem services and their potential to mitigate climate change. In this context, grasslands and pastures monitoring gains a relevant importance for improving farm management and productivity, farmer incomes and to reduce input wastage and ...

2. A Gaussian Process Based Approach for Validation of Multi-Variable Measurement Systems: Application to SAR Measurement Systems 

   Bujard, Cedric; Neufeld, Esra; Douglas, Mark; et al. (2024)

   IEEE Access

   Resource-efficient and robust validation of systems designed to measure a multi-dimensional parameter space is an unsolved problem as it would require millions of test permutations for comprehensive validation coverage. In the paper, an efficient and comprehensive validation approach based on a Gaussian Process (GP) model of the test system has been developed that can operate system-agnostically, avoids calibration to a fixed set of known ...

3. Constraining the mass-dependent Ti isotope composition of the chondritic reservoir – An inter-laboratory comparison study 

   Anguelova M.; Vilela N.; Kommescher S.; et al. (2024)

   Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

   Titanium isotopes are a promising tracer for planetary differentiation processes. The application of this tracer is, however, currently hampered by the lack of a robust estimate for the chondritic reservoir. Here, we conducted an inter-comparison Ti isotope study of three laboratories with the aim of providing an accurate and precise estimate for the chondritic reservoir. While previous estimates may suffer from heterogeneities on the ...

4. Slab design combining interlocking blocks with a structural sheet 

   Ronen M.A.; Feldfogel S.; Viner N.; et al. (2024)

   Structures

   The construction of structural slabs is one of the more complex, costly, time consuming, and hazardous processes in constructing buildings. This is mainly due to the on-site formwork placement, reinforcement arrangement, and concrete pouring — all required for commonplace slab designs. In theory, industrialization-ready slab designs pose a promising path towards overcoming these challenges. However, designs that can deliver on this promise ...

5. Reconstructing the Evolution of Foreland Fold-And-Thrust Belts Using U-Pb Calcite Dating: An Integrated Case-Study From the Easternmost Jura Mountains (Switzerland) 

   Madritsch H.; Looser N.; Schneeberger R.; et al. (2024)

   Tectonics

   This case-study from the Jura Mountains in the foreland of the European Alps demonstrates how the coupling of subsurface analysis and U-Pb carbonate dating can provide absolute timing constraints and shortening rate estimates of fold-and-thrust belts. It is confirmed that the initial Late Cenozoic foreland deformation driving the formation of the easternmost Jura Mountains in Switzerland was predominately thin-skinned with contractional ...
