The upland agricultural soils in North China are distributed north of a line between the Kunlun Mountains, the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River. They occur in arid, semi-arid and semi-humid regions and crop production often depends on rain-fed or irrigation to supplement rainfall. This paper s...

Traditional clustering methods are often ineffective in extracting relevant features from high-dimensional, nonlinear near-infrared (NIR) spectra, resulting in poor accuracy of detecting lactose-free milk adulteration. In this paper, we introduce a clustering model based on Gram angular field and co...

When deep-buried tunnels are excavated using the drill-and-blast method, the surrounding rock is subjected to combined cyclic blasting loads and excavation-induced stress unloading. Understanding the distribution characteristics of rock damage zones under these conditions is crucial for the design a...

ABSTRACT This study provided a comprehensive exploration of the nutritional regulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) on hindgut microbial metabolism and epithelial homeostasis in dairy goats. Twenty-four goats were orally administered sodium acetate (SA) at 0.8 g/kg of body weight (BW), propionate...

The Symbiotic star (SySt) is a long-period interacting binary system, typically consisting of a white dwarf (WD) and a red giant surrounded by a nebula. These systems are natural astrophysical laboratories for investigating binary star evolution. In this paper, we identified nine SySts from the Larg...

Ammonia (NH3) emissions should be mitigated to improve environmental quality. Croplands are one of the largest NH3 sources, they must be managed properly to reduce their emissions while achieving the target yields. Herein, we report the NH3 emissions, crop yield and changes in soil fertility in a lo...
