Growth Stages and Tuber Development of FL1867 Potato under Full and Reduced Irrigation Scheduling by Seth A. Byrd, Diane L. Rowland, Lincoln Zotarelli

“… The potato cultivar ‘Frito Lay 1867′ (‘FL 1867′) is a popular chipping variety grown across Florida and the southern United States. Knowledge of the timing and duration of the tuber initiation and tuber bulking stages for ‘FL 1867′ is critical for timing fertilizer and irrigation applications. …”

Graph partition based mapping algorithm on multiprocessors for streaming applications by Qi TANG, Shang-feng WU, Jun-wu SHI, Ji-bo WEI

“…To take advantage of multiprocessor platform,it is a necessity to map tasks of the application properly onto different processors to exploit the concurrency in the application and thus meet the stringent timing requirements.Parallelism graph was proposed to quantify and model the concurrency among tasks of the application.An algorithm was also proposed to construct the parallelism graph based on the self-timed schedule and transform the mapping problem to a graph partitioning problem.The graph partitioning problem as a pure 0-1 integer linear programming model was further formulated and the ILP solver to find the optimal result.A lot of randomly generated synchronous dataflow graphs and a set of practical applications were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms available algorithms.…”

Variable threshold energy detection algorithm based on trust degree by Jie XIAO, Yuebin CHEN, Chutian CHEN, Ting ZHENG, Jiwu QIAN

“…Aiming at stochastic probabilistic SSDF attacks,a variable threshold energy detection algorithm based on trust degree was proposed.Firstly,the variable threshold was updated by comparing the actual fusion value with the upper and lower boundary values of the fusion center.The upper and lower boundary values were determined through the given false alarm probability andmissed probability.Secondly,a soft fusionmethod was used based on the ratio of correct perception times and the total number of times to update the trust value.Simulation results show that,compared with the traditional fixed threshold,the proposed algorithm can not only reduce the false alarm andmissed detection probability,but also improve the detection probability of the system.…”

Adaptive packet selection scheme and selective retransmission algorithm for Bluetooth by WANG Xue, QIAN Zhi-hong, LI Bing, LI Yue

“…To improve the anti-jamming capability and transmission efficiency of Bluetooth,the retransmission mecha-nism was worked out for baseband layer and L2CAP layer.In baseband layer,the adaptive packet selection strategy was presented,which utilized the times of retransmission to evaluate the channel quality.The packet that satisfied the biggest throughput of the current channel was chosen dynamically according to the times of retransmission.In L2CAP layer,in view of the shortcomings that data frames successfully received need to be transmitted once more,the selective retrans-mission algorithm was proposed,depending on the unique characteristic that Bluetooth could support a number of logical channels.The algorithm combines the retransmission mode and flow control mode,with no redundancy varieties of the protocol.Simulations and performance analysis indicate that system throughput and transmission efficiency get promoted with decrease of communication delay.It is easy to implement the algorithm.…”

Deafferentation-Induced Plasticity of Visual Callosal Connections: Predicting Critical Periods and Analyzing Cortical Abnormalities Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging by Jaime F. Olavarria, Andrew S. Bock, Lindsey A. Leigland, Christopher D. Kroenke

“…Although it is known that retinal input is required for normal callosal development, there is little information regarding the period during which the retina is critically needed and whether this period correlates with the same developmental stage across species. Here we review the timing of this critical period, identified in rodents and ferrets by the effects that timed enucleations have on mature callosal connections, and compare it to other developmental milestones in these species. …”
