IrrigApp: An Online Tool for Determining Crop Water Use and Evaluating Irrigation Scheduling Options by José O. Payero

“…The results showed that the simulated dryland crop suffered crop stress, which reduced seasonal ETc by 22%. However, the results of irrigated simulations showed that applying 6 in. (150 mm) of irrigation properly timed during three irrigation events could closely meet the crop water requirements and prevent significant water stress, resulting in an ETc reduction of only 3%. …”

The Role of Media Use and Emotions in Risk Perception and Preventive Behaviors Related to COVID-19 in South Korea by Sungjoong Kim, Sung Kyum Cho, Sarah Prusoff LoCascio

“…The eight negative emotions, identified using factor analysis of a series of 11 emotions, were anger, annoyance, fear, sadness, anxiety, insomnia, helplessness, and stress. Negative emotions themselves were influenced most strongly by the respondent’s anxiety over social safety (*βf*=.286), followed by prediction of COVID-19 spread (*β*=.121, *p*<.001) and perceived risk of COVID-19 infection (*β*=.70, p=.023). …”

Dynamic principal modeling of cemented phosphogypsum stabilized soil under dry and wet cycles. by Zhangrong Ji, Kaisheng Chen, Kai Zhang

“…The test results show that: (1) the effect of wet and dry cycles has a greater impact on the dynamic constitutive model of the mix, Monismith exponential model is suitable for the dynamic stress-strain curves in the case of wet and dry cycling; (2) The dynamic shear modulus-dynamic shear strain constitutive model of phosphogypsum stabilized soil was established based on dynamic soil mechanics, and the fitted correlation coefficients were all higher than 0.85, and the maximum values of MAE and RMSE were 4.827 and 5.990, respectively; (3) The prediction of the dynamic resilience modulus of phosphogypsum stabilized soil can be fitted by Ni model and power exponential model; (4) By comparing the dynamic and static modulus of rebound, it is concluded that the value of dynamic modulus of rebound for phosphogypsum-stabilized soil under dry and wet cycles is 1.1-1.5 times of the static modulus of rebound, and the recommended value of dynamic modulus of rebound is 90-100 MPa.…”
