Papantla, Veracruz, is one of the most important vanilla-producing regions in the world, with women playing a pivotal role. Not only do they participate in producing this valuable orchid, but their work extends beyond traditional roles as housewives and farmers. These women preserve the knowledge and practices of vanilla cultivation while also managing other bioculturally important crops such as maize (Zea mays L.) (Fig. 1), allspice (Pimenta dioica L.), piñón seeds (Jatropha curcas L. nontoxic), chili (Capsicum annuum L.), medicinal plants, and more. Despite dedicating most of their time to household activities, they also take on responsibilities for agricultural and gardening tasks.

Published: January 2025

Bu makale, Joseph Haydn’ın hayatı, yaylı çalgılar dörtlüsü anlayışı ve Op. 77, 1 numaralı yaylı çalgılar dörtlüsünün armonik ve melodik unsurlarını, biçimsel yapısını ve Haydn’ın genel müzik yaklaşımını ortaya çıkartan önemli noktaları incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmayla ilgili kaynaklar literatür taraması yöntemiyle araştırılmış ve gerekli veriler elde edilmiştir. Eserin geleneksel dört bölümlü yapısı nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden “içerik analizi” yöntemiyle analiz edilerek, Haydn’ın şaşırtıcı modülasyon teknikleri, melodik yaratıcılığı ve kontrpuan ustalığı ortaya konulmuştur. Öncelikle, eserin armonik yapısı değerlendirilmiş, tonal geçişler ve modülasyonlar üzerinde durulmuştur. Sonrasında, melodik materyallerin işlenişi ve dönüşümleri incelenmiştir. Sonat formunun yenilikçi kullanımı, temaların işlenmesindeki zarafet ve eserin kendi içerisindeki tutarlılığı bu analizin odak noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Eserin detaylı bir şekilde incelenmesi, hem Haydn’ın sanatsal dehasını hem de dörtlü formunun tarihsel gelişimini anlamak için önemli bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır.
Yapılan literatür taraması ve eserin görsel ve işitsel olarak incelenmesi sonucu Haydn’ın müzikal yaşamı ve gelişen yaratıcılığı ile tutarlı bir biçimde bulgulara ulaşılmasını sağlanmıştır. Eserin armonik analizinden elde edilen bulgular Haydn’ın ustalıkla modülasyon tekniklerini kullandığını ortaya koymaktadır. Özellikle birinci bölümdeki sonat formunun tonal geçişlerle zenginleştirildiği görülmektedir. Eserin bütününde tema çeşitliliğinden ziyade, temel bir temanın her enstrüman üzerine dağıtılarak çeşitlendirilip gelişmesi söz konusudur. Yapılan melodik analiz, temaların yaratıcı varyasyonlarla dinamik bir ifade kazandığını ve armonik ve melodik gelişimlerin eseri birbirinden çok farklı temalara ihtiyaç duymadan zenginleştirdiğini göstermektedir. Eserin form yapısında ise, geleneksel biçimlere sadık kalınırken, yapısal bütünlük sağlayan yenilikçi bağlantılar dikkat çekmektedir. Sonuç olarak, Op. 77, 1 numaralı dörtlüsü, Haydn’ın Klasik Dönem normlarını ileriye taşıdığını, kendisinden sonra gelen bestecilere esin kaynağı olduğunu ve yaylı çalgılar dörtlüsünün evrimine katkıda bulunduğunu göstermektedir.

Published: January 2025

We address protein structure prediction in the 3D Hydrophobic-Polar lattice model through two novel deep learning architectures. For proteins under 36 residues, our hybrid reservoir-based model combines fixed random projections with trainable deep layers, achieving optimal conformations with 25% fewer training episodes. For longer sequences, we employ a long short-term memory network with multi-headed attention, matching best-known energy values. Both architectures leverage a stabilized Deep Q-Learning framework with experience replay and target networks, demonstrating consistent achievement of optimal conformations while significantly improving training efficiency compared to existing methods.
Accelerating Pharma Innovation by Ai with Computational Models

Published: January 2025

Complex biological activity is the straightforward explanation for the pharmaceutical industry's notable innovation drop in recent decades. Drug discovery, as we all know, is a complex, unsafe, expensive and time-consuming process. It typically takes 10- 12 years to get a medicine onto the market. However, with the use of computer-aided drug development, computational chemistry, and artificial intelligence (AI), we can now speed up this process. The entire process of finding and developing new drugs could become more efficient with the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Here Most marketed drugs are administered orally, despite the complex process of oral absorption that is difficult to predict. The interaction of numerous processes that rely on both chemical and physiological features determines oral bioavailability. In an effort to mechanistically depict the process of oral absorption, computational oral physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models, such as the Advanced Compartmental Absorption and Transit Model (ACAT), have become a useful tool for integrating these variables. These models forecast the pharmacokinetic behaviour of medications in the human body using data from in vitro tests. This review focusses on the rapid development of new drug discovery utilising the Advanced Compartmental Absorption and Transit Model (ACAT) for oral absorption in order to reduce the number of phase II and phase III clinical trials.
El camino inmutable: dependencia de la trayectoria en la política educativa del siglo XX en Ecuador
Authors: Ruiz González Iván Bolívar
Published: January 2025

The way in which political institutions are standardized within a State, and their influence on historical development, is the result of events that can generate paradigmatic changes. Based on this assertion, the research pursued the objective of analyzing the path dependence in national educational policy since the Liberal Revolution in Ecuador in 1895, focusing on secularism as an institution. The theory of public policy changes was used together with the theory of path dependence, which offers analytical inputs to reflect on the standardization and resistance of secularism over time. Together with the use of a qualitative approach and the systematic process tracing as a tool to reconstruct historical information, it is concluded that secularism is resistant but not impenetrable, which supposes traumas in sectoral policy to defend it, evidencing contrary expressions to dismiss it.

The experimental design using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a factorial arrangement is widely used to measure production factors in pig farms. The main objective was to measure the primary effects of essential oils and their concentration on response variables: weight, weight gain, food consumption, and feed conversion in piglets. The methodology employs a quantitative, experimental, and correlational approach. The sample consisted of 32 experimental units, distributed across four treatments with eight repetitions each. The results highlight a significant increase in weekly weight starting from week 5 with 2% oregano oil, although there were no statistical differences in weight gain. It concludes that essential oils, especially oregano at 2%, significantly influence food consumption and conversion, demonstrating the utility of factorial design in pig research.

desautomatización como literariedad en el cuento “Mediodía de Frontera” de Claudia Hernández
Authors: Camarena Cruz Paola Montserrat
Published: January 2025

Con una literatura llena de elementos extraños, violentos y subversivos, la obra de la salvadoreña Claudia Hernández es rica para el estudio literario y relevante para las letras latinoamericanas. Si bien existen trabajos de investigación y análisis en torno a su obra, estos aún son escasos y poco diversos. Así pues, en el presente trabajo realizamos una disección del cuento “Mediodía de frontera” perteneciente a la antología De fronteras publicada en 2007. Nuestro objetivo fue abordar las nociones de «desautomatización» propuestas por el teórico Viktor Shklovski, entendidas como evidencia de la «literariedad» que propone el formalismo ruso y localizar sus representaciones en el cuento. El análisis muestra que tanto el narrador del texto como la trasgresión de la relación humano-animal que en él se muestra funcionan como estrategias de desautomatización y, en consecuencia, lo dotan de literariedad. Este trabajo busca demostrar la riqueza literaria de la obra de Claudia Hernández, además de aportar una visión distinta y provocar interés en la misma.

Deconstrucción de la identidad en Verde Shanghai de Cristina Rivera Garza
Authors: Mauricio Balbuena Elsa Nidia
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo es una crítica literaria de la obra Verde Shanghai, de la escritora mexicana Cristina Rivera Garza. El análisis busca exponer la imposibilidad de Marina, la protagonista de la novela, por fijar o definir una identidad propia, así como la dificultad por asir la de otros personajes. También me propongo explicar cómo esto obedece a un proceso de deconstrucción donde la realidad inestable y huidiza le permite a Marina ―y a nosotros― desmontar las categorías que convencionalmente se toman como base para organizar y describir el mundo. Para la realización de estas reflexiones he tomado como apoyo algunos conceptos de la Teoría de la deconstrucción, de Jacques Derrida, así como la idea de transmodernidad, propuesta por Rosa María Rodríguez.
Eterno femenino en dos obras de la revolución: Los de abajo de Mariano Azuela y Cartucho de Nellie Campobello
Authors: García Torres Valeria
Published: January 2025

En el presente trabajo analizo dos obras literarias del siglo XX, ambas de escritores mexicanos, con base en el arquetipo psicológico del eterno femenino. Retomo la teoría feminista que considera este discurso, en el que impera la dicotomía de las esferas productivo/ público y reproductivo/privado, falocéntrico o androcéntrico. Comparto la opinión de Simone de Beauvoir de que se trata de un mito patriarcal y no de una realidad biológica. Atendiendo al contexto específico de la época, pretendo identificar si el arquetipo del eterno femenino sigue imperando en la sociedad y de qué manera. Para ello, analizaré dos novelas de la Revolución: Los de abajo de Mariano Azuela y Cartucho de Nellie Campobello.

En este trabajo se abordará la bifurcación en las creencias sobre un mismo aspecto como posibilidad para la generación de problemáticas no sólo sociales sino también en la producción de conocimiento, lo cual puede resultar peligroso y hallarse entre el radicalismo y fundamentalismo. El punto de partida es la elección de un método de investigación (cualitativo o cuantitativo) para el abordaje de las problemáticas en ciencias sociales. Finalmente, se proporcionará una propuesta integradora más o menos intermedia entre esos métodos, postura que, quizá, será útil para los demás problemas dicotómicos.
Identifikasi Bukaan Pada Fasad Bangunan Wisma Kilang Balikpapan, Indonesia
Authors: Huldiansyah Denny
Published: January 2025

Wisma Kilang Balikpapan remains the only surviving example of Jengki Architecture in Balikpapan City. This building stands as a silent witness to the city's dynamic development, evolving through the passage of time. It once flourished in the past, representing the diversity of architectural styles and unique designs that contributed to the modernization trends in Indonesia. However, this architectural style is nearing extinction due to modernization, marked by major renovations by the building's owners. This extinction poses a clear threat, with the possibility of the style gradually disappearing over time. This study aims to comprehensively and deeply identify and analyze the facade of Wisma Kilang Balikpapan, particularly focusing on the openings (doors, windows, and ventilation) as part of jengki architecture. It also examines the consistency and changes, both macro and micro, in the current facade as it interacts with changes in function, social and cultural contexts, and the surrounding environment. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a rationalistic paradigm to gather data and information about about the existing conditions of the building's openings in Wisma Kilang Balikpapan. The primary focus is on 6 units of the Wisma, with the identified elements including doors, windows, and ventilation. The study finds a variety of door, window, and ventilation types in Wisma Kilang Balikpapan, some of which remain intact, while others have changed. The facade's doors and ventilation tend to remain consistent, whereas windows have experienced significant alterations due to renovations and changes in building function. These findings can serve as a basis for building preservation policies and as a reference for future facade restoration efforts.

Published: January 2025

Determining the failure probabilities of submarine slopes over long distances is crucial for assessing slope stability, given the randomness of soil parameters. Based on the theory of stochastic fields and the method of limit equilibrium, this study introduces a quantitative method that incorporates spatial variability of soil parameters to evaluate submarine slope stability. Assuming a linear increase in undrained strength with depth, the slope stability is estimated under static loading derived from nonstationary random fields, and the effect of a weak layer on the slope stability is also analyzed. This study show that ignores the spatial variability of the soil parameters significantly overestimate the performance for the slope stability. In conclusion, the lower and upper ends of the probability index range are found to have great significance in practical engineering design. The combination of traditional deterministic slope analysis and probabilistic assessments will be beneficial to slope engineering practice and will improve the decision-making process.

Published: January 2025

Gestational diabetes mellitus is a worldwide health issue in pregnancy, posing a threat to both mother and child. One of the major risk factors for the development of gestational diabetes mellitus is polycystic ovary syndrome, primarily due to the biochemical hyperandrogenism and metabolic issues, commonly observed in these patients. In recent years, the Expert Group on Inositol in Basic and Clinical Research and on PCOS (EGOI-PCOS) has sought to better understand the pathogenesis behind polycystic ovary syndrome, in order to accurately diagnose and treat patients according to their individual needs. Through the scope of polycystic ovary syndrome, this position paper examines the characteristics of both conditions, and underlying biological mechanisms, before moving on to common treatment strategies to avoid or treat gestational diabetes mellitus in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Validation of the Persian Involuntary Musical Imagery Scale alongside multifaceted investigation of earworms among Iranian college students
Authors: Tabahori Aref , Bigdeli Imanollah , Kareshki Hossein
Published: January 2025

Introduction

Involuntary musical imagery is considered a ubiquitous phenomenon worldwide, while mixed and inconsistent results regarding different aspects of earworms remain challenging. Furthermore, there is a special need for research on earworms in societies other than in European or American. The primary aim of our study is to validate the Persian Involuntary Musical Imagery Scale (PIMIS) and, secondly, to carry out a detailed exploration of earworms among Iranian college students.

Methods

A total of 946 Iranian college students were recruited to answer the Persian Involuntary Musical Imagery Scale (PIMIS), and gold standards including the Thought Control Questionnaire (TCQ, to convergent validity), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21, to concurrent validity), the White Bear Suppression Inventory (WBSI, to predictive validity), as well as the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-revised (OCI-R), and socio-demographic queries. A complex of features regarding the validity and reliability of the PIMIS, along with numerous aspects of earworm, were explored.

Results and discussion

The Persian Involuntary Musical Imagery Scale encompasses 15 items along with three additional questions. It was found to be a valid and reliable instrument among Iranian college students, qualified to measure individual differences in earworms. Phenomenological evidence and detailed data on individual differences could provide rich knowledge for the rest of the literature paradigms. Moreover, future investigations into the local regions of the Iranian population are recommended.
Encouraging Guidance: Floating Target Tracking Technology for Airborne Robotic Arm Based on Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Wu Jiying , Yang Zhong , Zhuo Haoze , Xu Changliang , Liao Luwei , Cheng Danguo , Wang Zhiyong
Published: January 2025

Aerial robots equipped with operational robotic arms are a powerful means of achieving aerial contact operations, and their core competitiveness lies in target tracking control at the end of the airborne robotic arm (ARA). In order to improve the learning efficiency and flexibility of the ARA control algorithm, this paper proposes the encouraging guidance of an actor–critic (Eg-ac) algorithm based on the actor–critic (AC) algorithm and applies it to the floating target tracking control of ARA. It can quickly lock in the exploration direction and achieve stable tracking without increasing the learning cost. Firstly, this paper establishes approximate functions, policy functions, and encouragement functions for the state value of ARA. Secondly, an adoption rate controller (ARC) module was designed based on the concept of heavy rewards and light punishments (HRLP). Then, the kinematic and dynamic models of ARA were established. Finally, simulation was conducted using stable baselines3 (SB3). The experimental results show that, under the same computational cost, the convergence speed of the Eg-ac is improved by 21.4% compared to deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG). Compared with soft actor–critic (SAC) and DDPG, Eg-ac has improved learning efficiency by at least 20% and has a more agile and stable floating target tracking effect.
Digital Twin-Driven Design of an Ice Prediction Model
Authors: Serino Andrea , Dagna Alberto , Brusa Eugenio , Delprete Cristiana
Published: January 2025

This paper describes the development of an ice creation model to be used within the framework of a model-based systems engineering approach to predict the amount of ice growing on aircraft wings during flight. This model supports the preliminary design of the ice protection system, as well as the implementation of a control system, in real-time. When the aircraft meets a high concentration of super-cooled water in the atmosphere and a low temperature, the risk of ice formation on its external surfaces is significant. This causes a decrease in aerodynamic performance, with potential loss of control of the aircraft. To mitigate this effect, ice prevention and protection systems are crucial. The characteristics of the icing phenomena are first defined, then their effects on aircraft behavior during operation are evaluated. This allows us to develop a highly parametric predictive model of the actual icing conditions experienced by the aircraft during a given flight mission. To precisely predict the ice accretion and to design an ice protection system, estimating heat fluxes involving the aircraft’s wing surfaces and the external environment is required. To allow for this, this study also develops a thermal model that is specifically applied to the above-mentioned analysis. This model includes many factors characterizing the atmospheric conditions responsible for ice creation upon the aerodynamic surfaces, and it enables an accurate estimation and quantification of all the parameters necessary to design an appropriate ice protection system.
Evaluation of Third-Order Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory Scheme Within Implicit Large Eddy Simulation Framework Using OpenFOAM
Authors: Li Zhuoneng , Rana Zeeshan A.
Published: January 2025

The current study investigates the performance of implicit Large Eddy Simulation (iLES) incorporating an unstructured third-order Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) reconstruction method, alongside conventional Large Eddy Simulation (LES) using the Wall-Adapting Local Eddy Viscosity (WALE) model, for wall-bounded flows. Specifically, iLES is applied to the flow around a NACA0012 airfoil at a Reynolds number which involves key flow phenomena such as laminar separation, transition to turbulence, and flow reattachment. Simulations are conducted using the open-source computational fluid dynamics package OpenFOAM, with a second-order implicit Euler scheme for time integration and the Pressure-Implicit Splitting Operator (PISO) algorithm for pressure–velocity coupling. The results are compared against direct numerical simulation (DNS) for the same flow conditions. Key metrics, including the pressure coefficient and reattached turbulent velocity profiles, show excellent agreement between the iLES and DNS reference results. However, both iLES and LES predict a thinner separation bubble in the transitional flow region then DNS. Notably, the iLES approach achieved a 35% reduction in mesh resolution relative to wall-resolving LES, and a 70% reduction relative to DNS, while maintaining satisfactory accuracy. The study also captures detailed instantaneous flow evolution on the airfoil’s upper surface, with evidence suggesting that three-dimensional disturbances arise from interactions between separating boundary layers near the trailing edge.

Today, integrating new functions into air traffic controller working positions or developing completely new displays are time-consuming and expensive processes. The users are often only included during the concept phase and after the main development phase is completed. Therefore, they do not have the chance to influence the design and development process by giving structural feedback. Any subsequent changes to the system after completing the main development phase will be expensive and slow. This paper proposes a new approach to integrate designers and users more tightly in the development process for digital air traffic control systems. By creating and reviewing realistic mock-ups in small iterative steps, the look and feel of future support functions can be validated in advance of the actual implementation and easily adapted if changes are requested. We performed a series of steps to evaluate the new workflow as a case study, including idea development, design, validation, and implementation into the target system. In a validation campaign with air traffic controllers, the developed design and functionalities received very positive feedback and the new workflow was successfully applied and evaluated as a case study.

Authors: Yue Yuanman , Zhang Qian , Dong Boyang , Li Jin
Published: January 2025

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is an innovative numerical computational approach. This method is employed to study and resolve the motion patterns of particles within discrete systems, contact mechanics properties, mechanisms of separation processes, and the relationships between contact forces and energy. Agricultural machinery involves the interactions between machinery and soil, crops, and other systems. Designing agricultural machinery can be equivalent to solving problems in discrete systems. The DEM has been widely applied in research on agricultural machinery design and mechanized harvesting of crops. It has also provided an important theoretical research approach for the design and selection of operating parameters, as well as the structural optimization of potato harvesting machinery. This review first analyzes and summarizes the current global potato industry situation, planting scale, and yield. Subsequently, it analyzes the challenges facing the development of the potato industry. The results show that breeding is the key to improving potato varieties, harvesting is the main stage where potato damage occurs, and reprocessing is the main process associated with potato waste. Second, an overview of the basic principles of DEM, contact models, and mechanical parameters is provided, along with an introduction to the simulation process using the EDEM software. Third, the application of the DEM to mechanized digging, transportation, collection, and separation of potatoes from the soil is reviewed. The accuracy of constructing potato and soil particle models and the rationality of the contact model selection are found to be the main factors affecting the results of discrete element simulations. Finally, the challenges of using the DEM for research on potato harvesting machinery are presented, and a summary and outlook for the future development of the DEM are provided.

This work conducts a single-factor experiment to study the effects of biomass types on the relax density, volume expansion, durability, hydrophobicity, and processing energy consumption. We analyze the differences in the quality of the pellets, and optimize the compaction conditions suitable for different biomass types including straw, hardwood, shell, and herbaceous plant. The results indicated that with a compressing force of 60~1500 N, compressing time of 10 s, powder size of less than 0.5 mm, and moisture content of 10%, the relax densities of corn straw, rice straw, selenium-rich rice straw, weigela japonica branches, and camphor leaves range from 360 to 820 kg/m3, with a processing energy consumption of 17,360 to 28,740 J/kg; meanwhile, the relax densities of argy wormwood, forage grass, green grass, and peanut shells range from 340 to 840 kg/m3, with a processing energy consumption of 33,510 to 73,700 J/kg. Therefore, the compaction pretreatment effectively regulates the density of biomass pellets and reduces the processing energy consumption. This study analyzed the differences in the quality of pellets caused by the inherent characteristics of biomass, providing strong support for the directional depolymerization and enhanced pretreatment technology for the scaled production of biomass alcohol fuels.

Published: January 2025

This work is devoted to the study of the dynamics of changes in the composition of the heap of cereal crops during maturation and identifying the optimal stage at which the grain heap has a high feed value. We studied the grain heap of winter wheat of the Admiral variety, perennial winter wheat (Trititrigia) of the Pamyati Lyubimovoy variety, and gray wheatgrass of the Sova variety for the amino acid composition, and protein, moisture, iron, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, starch, and vitamin E contents. Cereal crops harvested at the hard wax ripeness stage demonstrated a 3–4% higher protein content, along with increased levels of certain amino acids and minerals such as iron and selenium. The grain heap of hard waxy ripeness wheat was studied for prebiotic properties. The study found that it increases the number of lactic acid bacteria in the intestinal microbiota and therefore is a promising prebiotic for agriculture. Based on this study, the recommended concentration of grain heap of waxy ripeness wheat as a feed additive is 1%.

This study investigates the effect of the spatial distribution of soil water and nutrients on cork oak (Quercus suber) architecture. Fertirrigation is being tested in cork oak plantations to accelerate tree growth up to the production stage. To assess the impact of wet bulb location on tree development, six trees (three subjected to subsurface drip irrigation and three controls) were fully excavated at a sandy soil site, along with a seventh tree subjected to surface drip irrigation at a sandy loam soil site. The aerial parts of the trees were digitized using a Polhemus Fastrak magnetic digitizer and segmented into orders starting from the main trunk. Roots with diameters greater than 0.5 cm were digitized during excavation and segmented by size and order from the root collar. For each segment, length, orientation, and spatial location were calculated. General linear models were then applied to compare total root length across orientation and quadrant classes. Crown architecture was influenced by factors such as light competition. Irrigation treatments did not significantly affect root architecture when wet bulb formation was constrained. However, tree no. 7 had 50% of its total root length located within the wet bulb quadrant. These findings suggest that differences in soil type and irrigation method influence wet bulb formation, potentially reducing the impact of fertirrigation on root architecture. Strategies to minimize tree dependence on wet bulb zones are crucial for enabling future irrigation suppression.

Maize planting configuration remains a critical area for increased understanding and optimization, particularly in the context of advancing yield potential and management technologies. A field experiment was conducted in Tifton, Georgia in 2018 to characterize the grain yield and yield components relative to comprehensive ranges of row spacings and seeding rates and to explore the potential merit of alternative parameterizations of space per plant. Treatments comprised a complete factorial arrangement of four row spacings (38, 51, 76, and 91 cm) and four seeding rates (6.9, 8.4, 9.9, and 11.4 seeds m−2). Additional metrics evaluated were an inter-plant distance (IPD) and a measure of squareness (SQ) of space per plant. The narrowest row spacing (38 cm) resulted in greater (p < 0.05) ear density and grain yields (8.74 ears m−2 and 16.3 Mg ha−1) than 76 and 91 cm rows (means = 7.90 m−2 and 14.3 Mg ha−1) across seeding rates. Increasing the seeding rate also increased ear density and decreased kernels row−1, but did not affect the yield. Among all parameters assessed, the IPD and SQ were most influential on both ear density and the ultimate grain yield, indicating positive yield associations not only with crowdedness (greater density), but also with maximum squareness (or balance) of space per plant. These findings warrant continued experimentation and careful integration of reduced maize row spacing in high-yield environments.
