Title: Integrated Graph Neural Networks for Predicting Cascading Failures in Regional Power Grids During Seasonal Transitions

Abstract:N-1 contingency lists miss multi-hop failure paths. Graph neural models trained on simulated outages improve early ranking of critical lines relative to classical loading metrics.


Title: Empirical Soil Moisture Sensor Networks for Deficit Irrigation Scheduling in Young Plantings in Emerging Economies

Abstract:Young plantings risk over-irrigation when schedules ignore root-zone heterogeneity. Multi-depth capacitance probes guiding deficit regimes maintain shoot growth while cutting applied water in the driest months.


Title: Comparative Rootstock-Scion Hydraulic Traits and Drought Recovery in Temperate Orchards Across Heterogeneous Landscapes

Abstract:Dwarfing rootstocks improve density but may constrain recovery after soil water deficits. Stem water potential and sap flow after dry-down show combinations with fine-root plasticity regain photosynthesis faster.


Title: Digital Twin Prototypes for Predictive Maintenance of Municipal Water Pumps for Decision Support

Abstract:Pump failures cascade into service outages when inspections are calendar-based. Digital twins fed by vibration and pressure streams prioritize interventions before catastrophic seal failures.


Title: Regional Time-Series Clustering of Household Energy Demand Under Time-of-Use Tariffs Under Resource Constraints

Abstract:Tariff pilots assume homogeneous load shifting that rarely holds. Clustering smart-meter series reveals archetypes whose peak reduction differs under identical price signals.


Title: Experimental Curriculum Co-Design With Industry Mentors for Capstone Engineering Projects

Abstract:Capstones drift from workplace practice when briefs are faculty-only. Co-designed projects with mentors improve rubric alignment with industry competencies without diluting learning outcomes.


Title: Longitudinal Behavioral Adoption of Rotational Grazing Among Small Dairy Cooperatives With Uncertainty Quantification

Abstract:Rotational grazing packages stall when fence and water logistics exceed household labor. Choice experiments show bundling portable fencing with peer mentoring outperforms premium subsidies alone.


Title: Field-Based Spectral Indices for Early Detection of Nitrogen Deficiency in Mixed Grass Swards Using Open Data Streams

Abstract:Mixed swards obscure early nitrogen stress when greenness metrics average across species. Red-edge ratios from handheld spectrometers detect deficiency earlier than NDVI alone.


Title: Circular Nutrient Recovery from Dairy Slurry Using Struvite Precipitation Trials

Abstract:Concentrated dairy regions face eutrophication risk alongside fertilizer import dependence. Struvite precipitation from slurry is evaluated against agronomic release curves in greenhouse forage trials. Recovered products lower effluent phosphorus loads while matching conventional fertilizer response for early biomass accumulation.


Title: Thermal Imaging of Heat Load in Finishing Cattle Under Shade and Sprinkler Cooling

Abstract:Heat load events elevate respiration rates and reduce feed conversion in outdoor finishing systems. Infrared cameras over shaded and sprinkled pens synchronize surface temperatures with wet-bulb globe temperature. Combined shade and intermittent sprinkling cut peak surface temperature enough to lower panting scores during mid-afternoon peaks.
