Leveraging Technology 4.0, precision agriculture management emerges as a promising solution to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. With this goal in mind, a research project was undertaken to develop a spatial model capable of providing real-time notifications on changes in plant yield and location. This map would enable farmers to monitor their fields more precisely and with greater detail. The research commenced by conducting direct soil measurements and capturing crop spectra using drones equipped with multispectral cameras. The collected data was then mosaicked, processed, and combined with crop yield data to create a set of samples. Machine learning algorithms were employed to make predictions, and the yield projections were integrated into spatial maps. These maps can be utilized for navigation and to track areas anticipated to experience yield changes. The result is a spatial map model that serves as a tracking and navigation system, empowering farmers to monitor crop yield changes effectively. This research is an integral part of the development of the Drone-Assisted Climate-Smart Agriculture (DACSA) system, which employs drones for tasks such as obtaining multispectral image data from onion plants, mapping, spraying, and fertilizing. Leveraging the input data spectrum, this spatial navigation map model is expected to contribute to the gradual implementation of precision agriculture, ensuring sustained productivity, and enabling the localization of crop issues in specific areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17848,"journal":{"name":"Kuwait Journal of Science","volume":"52 2","pages":"Article 100388"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143548492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NDVI analysis in the period 2000–2018 has shown an increase in the value of the index.

A suitable morphology of a solution-processed perovskite layer can be achieved by different routes. A promising, low cost, and large area compatible way of creating proper crystallization of the perovskite layer is gas quenching. Nitrogen gas is usually used for this purpose to flush the perovskite wet film during coating and control its nucleation stage. It is so far not clear in the literature if there is any relationship between the molecular weight of the quenching gas and the perovskite film morphology. We analyzed the crystallization properties, grain size, surface roughness, and defect density of the perovskite film and the related electrical performance and the stability of the solar cell devices, using nitrogen, helium, and argon as quenching gases. We found that the grain size of the perovskite layer can be tuned by using gases with different molecular weights.

The analysis shows that net surface heat flux (NSHF) mainly affects semiannual mixed layer temperature (MLT) variability. Vertical turbulent mixing cools the mixed layer from below, while the vertical and horizontal advection have less impact on the MLT heat budget. In the upper thermocline (40–100 m), two temperature minima occur: one in April due to outflow to the Pacific Ocean, and another in August due to uplifted water. Different cooling processes mark the dominant annual variation in the mid thermocline (100–150 m depth) and the lower thermocline (150–200 m). The cooling process is mainly associated with the transport from the Pacific Ocean into the Indonesian Seas (inflow) in the mid-thermocline, while it is generally related to the outflow transport in the lower thermocline. Interannual temperature variation is marked by the relatively colder (warmer) sea surface temperature and shallowing (deepening) thermocline during the El Niño (La Niña) period, which is associated with the upwelling (downwelling) Rossby wave propagation. It is also found that the colder (warmer) temperature in the upper 200 m during the El Niño (La Niña) period correlates with the weaker (stronger) inflow from the Pacific Ocean into the Indonesian Seas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17848,"journal":{"name":"Kuwait Journal of Science","volume":"52 2","pages":"Article 100384"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143422252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
