Precision agriculture depends on the automation and mechanization of agricultural equipment and vehicles in a variety of terrains, which increases productivity and sustainability. This review presents a comparative analysis of significant simulation software used in designing and developing automated agricultural systems, emphasizing their methodologies and significance in advancing farm technology. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods are modeled, optimized, and integrated using key techn [...]

The main aim of this work is to analyze the impact of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) on wealth redistribution in Spain during the 2001-2021 period. This research addresses a fundamental question: Does increasing the minimum wage effectively reduce income inequality and contribute to a more equitable wealth distribution without negatively impacting overall economic growth and employment? Using a complete statistical census provided by the Spanish Tax Administration Agency, this study examines how the increase in th [...]

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology mitigates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, comprehensive studies assessing the sustainability of coal-based power generation (CBPG) with CCS remain limited. This study focuses on developing comparative sustainability indicators across the entire life cycle of CBPG integrated with CCS technology. Sixty-six pathways were analyzed after establishing five sustainability indicators for each. These indicators were standardized per megawatt-hour (MWh) of energy, encompas [...]

The biochemical properties of metal complexes containing benzo hydrazide Schiff base have been reported by numerous researchers worldwide in various ways. In this work, the evaluation of biochemical roles of the metal complexes with benzo hydrazide Schiff base activity as anti-gram positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as antifungal agents, were observed. The use of various techniques, including the induced fit docking methodology, the density functional theory method, and pharmacokinetics investigations wit [...]

This work focuses on designing a control unit for improving Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) performance powering electric vehicles when operating in variable atmospheric pressure conditions, a current situation in mountainous countries with sudden changes in road altitude. The paper studies and analyzes the PEM fuel cell behavior working with hydrogen supply from a pressurized tank and oxygen input from atmospheric air supply in journeys with continuous variation of road level due to the orography. The w [...]
