Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for agricultural greenhouse gas estimation. Farm data in the form of at least one of revenue generated by a farm, crop information for one or more crops grown on the farm, and land use/farm practice data for land used on the farm to grow the one or more crops is obtained. An emissions estimate is determined based on the obtained data and caused to be displayed to the user via a graphical user interface. A user may be a person responsible for managing multiple farms. That user may be presented with aggregate emissions-related information for all farms, including projected future emissions under various scenarios, and may also iteratively experiment with different farm data values in order to attempt to reduce projected emissions or increase data quality/emissions estimate accuracy.

The data processing system can obtain, via a gateway device and from the node, a first data file including field metric data and a second data file including third party data that pertains to the field. The data processing system can determine a resource distribution schedule based at least in part on data of the first data file and data of the second data file. The data processing system can receive, via the gateway device, a prompt from the node, and can provide an instruction to control a valve to regulate resource distribution to a portion of the field.

Abstract: A polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell that includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a polyelectrolyte membrane and a solution of reduced graphene oxide and/or graphene oxide functionalized with metallized nanoparticles. The electrodes are coated with a polymer and the polyelectrolyte membrane has a hydrophobic exterior surface that is subjected to ultraviolet/ozone (UV/O3) exposure, which changes the hydrophobic, exterior surface to a hydrophilic exterior surface. The polyelectrolyte membrane is disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and can include a sulfonated tetrafluoroethylene based fluoropolymer-copolymer. The solution forms a coating on the hydrophilic exterior surface of the polymer electrolyte membrane and the positive and negative electrodes. The positive and negative electrodes can be coated with a polymer, preferably polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) that can be subjected to ultraviolet/ozone (UV/O3) exposure.
