Title: Field-Based Life-Cycle Costing of Precision Spray Systems Versus Calendar Programs in Orchards Using Open Data Streams

Abstract:Sensor-guided spraying promises lower chemical use, but capital recovery depends on orchard size and disease pressure. We compare life-cycle costs using multi-year disease incidence and fuel logs. Break-even area shrinks when nearby blocks share equipment.


Title: Data-Driven Open Educational Resources Adoption Barriers Among Mid-Career University Lecturers During Seasonal Transitions

Abstract:OER policies stall when mid-career lecturers lack time to adapt materials. Workload, quality uncertainty, and promotion incentives dominate barriers; adaptation grants and peer review raise reuse more than mandates alone.


Title: Multiscale Transfer Learning for Low-Resource Named Entity Recognition in Administrative Texts in Emerging Economies

Abstract:Local-language administrative corpora lack labeled entities. Cross-lingual transfer with domain adapters improves place and organization recognition relative to scratch training.


Title: Integrated Time-Series Clustering of Household Energy Demand Under Time-of-Use Tariffs Across Heterogeneous Landscapes

Abstract:Tariff pilots assume homogeneous load shifting that rarely holds. Clustering smart-meter series reveals archetypes whose peak reduction differs under identical price signals.


Title: Empirical Blockchain-Lite Provenance Tokens for Small-Batch Food Cooperatives for Decision Support

Abstract:Export buyers demand batch-level authenticity that small cooperatives struggle to maintain on paper. Lightweight signed tokens linking harvest lots to packing events reduce documentation disputes on shared office hardware.


Title: Comparative Hybrid Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Short-Term Streamflow Forecasting Under Resource Constraints

Abstract:Pure data-driven forecasts struggle in ungauged periods. Embedding mass-balance constraints into neural nets improves peak timing under sparse rain-gauge coverage.


Title: Multi-Objective Optimization of Campus Timetables Balancing Equity and Room Utilization

Abstract:Timetable solvers maximize room use but can concentrate unpopular slots on certain cohorts. Pareto search balances utilization against schedule fairness metrics across departments.


Title: Regional Machine Learning Forecasts of Urban Heat Stress From Sparse Sensor Networks With Uncertainty Quantification

Abstract:Sparse municipal sensor grids leave gaps in neighborhood heat-risk maps. We train gradient-boosting models on fused logger and satellite land-surface temperature and validate against pedestrian thermal-comfort walks. Forecast skill improves when street canyon geometry and tree canopy are included as features.


Title: Soil Aggregate Stability Under Cover-Crop Mixtures in Continental Steppe Agroecosystems

Abstract:Wind erosion threatens cropped steppe soils where fallow periods leave surfaces vulnerable. Multi-species cover crops increased wet aggregate stability and water infiltration relative to monoculture fallow in a three-year rotation experiment. Root architecture diversity mattered more than above-ground biomass for stabilizing macroaggregates during spring thaw when surface crusting is most severe.


Title: Acoustic Telemetry of Diurnal Fish Movement Through Partially Restored River Channels

Abstract:Channel narrowing and boulder additions aim to restore pool-riffle sequences for native fish, but movement responses are rarely tracked at hourly resolution. Acoustic tags on three cyprinid species recorded increased upstream passage after boulder clusters were placed, with peak movements at dawn and dusk. Residual barriers at legacy weir footings continued to block twenty percent of tagged individuals.
