Cropland Suitability Prediction Method Based on Biophysical Variables from Copernicus Data and Machine Learning by Dorijan Radočaj, Mateo Gašparović, Mladen Jurišić

“…The peak leaf area index (LAI) and the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) from PROBA-V/Sentinel-3 data were calculated according to ground-truth soybean agricultural parcels in continental Croatia during 2015–2021. Four machine learning regression algorithms, including random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGB), as well as their combination, were evaluated for predicting the peak LAI and FAPAR on the entire agricultural land in the study area, with RF producing the highest prediction accuracy with an R² in the range of 0.250–0.590. …”

Time synchronization attack detection for industrial wireless network by Sichao ZHANG, Wei LIANG, Xudong YUAN, Yinlong ZHANG, Meng ZHENG

“…High-precision time synchronization is the basis for ensuring the secure and reliable transmission of industrial wireless network (IWN).Delay attacks, as a class of time synchronization attacks which cannot be solved by cryptographic techniques, seriously threaten the secure operation of IWN.Firstly, based on the in-depth analysis on the time synchronization mechanisms of IWN, three-time synchronization attack models were proposed, including the one-way full life cycle delay attack, two-way full life cycle delay attack, and one-way non-full-life cycle delay attack.Stealthier delay attacks could be realized by the attack models under the premise that target nodes were not captured.Secondly, considering the problem that existing detection algorithms are difficult to detect stealthier delay attacks without obvious changes in time features, an attack detection algorithm based on a Bayesian model was proposed that extracts four representative features, including transmission rate, transmission delay, transmission success rate and time synchronization interval.In addition, in order to ensure the accuracy of the attack detection and classification in the presence of noise interference, the noise model of wireless channel was introduced to the Bayesian feature information matrix.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively detect three kinds of attacks in the presence of noise.…”
