GLOBAL DE-TRENDING SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVES THE ACCURACY OF XGBOOST-BASED COUNTY-LEVEL MAIZE AND SOYBEAN YIELD PREDICTION IN THE MIDWESTERN UNITED STATES

The application of machine learning in crop yield prediction has gained considerable traction, yet uncertainties persist regarding the impact of the yield Bumper Accent Piece trends on these predictions and the differences between the detrending methods.In our study, we utilized extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) to scrutinize the effects of no tr

This paper investigates the effects of the tax system on the economic factors that triggered the financial crisis.We examine three cases in which the tax regime interacted with these factors, reinforcing them.First, we focus on the taxation of residential building: while the importance of capital gains taxes is disputed, the deductibility of mortga

Our eyes move continuously.Even when we attempt to fix our gaze, we produce "fixational" eye movements including microsaccades, drift and tremor.The potential role of microsaccades versus drifts in the control of eye position has been debated for decades and remains in question Coffee Maker today.Here we set out to determine the corrective function

Biological di-nitrogen fixation (N(2)) is the dominant natural source of new nitrogen to land ecosystems.Phosphorus (P) is thought to limit N(2) fixation in many tropical soils, yet both molybdenum (Mo) and P are crucial for the nitrogenase reaction (which catalyzes N(2) conversion to ammonia) and cell growth.We have limited understanding of how an
