Abstract:
... The monitoring of telegraph poles as essential features supporting overhead distribution network lines is the primary subject of this work. This paper proposes a method for locating and extracting telegraph poles from an image matching-based point cloud. Firstly, the point cloud of the poles is extracted using the planar grid segmentation clustering algorithm and the connected component analysis a ...

Abstract:
... We developed a novel process for fabricating oxygen-rich Zn(O,S) buffer layers by magnetron reactive sputtering with a single oxygen-rich Zn(O,S) target, suitable for industrial all-dry production. Then, we successfully fabricated Cd-free Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)₂ (CIGSSe) solar cells. By varying the oxygen partial pressure during sputtering from 0 to 20%, we precisely controlled the Zn(O,S) composition, t ...

This work addresses the anatomy of a 2D polymer formation; that is, we identify, localize, and describe the various processes required to obtain such a macromolecule in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal reaction. It contains aspects of lattice, local and integral strain, and the distribution of strain in the crystal and assembles the various bits and pieces to a full-scale mechanistic picture pro ...

Abstract:
... Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) sequestration within different riparian buffer systems (RBSs) is less documented. This study therefore investigated SOC sequestration potential in the upper 0–60 cm soil layer in diverse RBSs in Southern Ontario, Canada. Mean SOC stocks on an equivalent soil mass basis was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in RBSs (376.164 Mg C ha⁻¹) than the adjacent agricultural fields (1 ...
