Dynamics of Mean-Variance-Skewness of Cumulative Crop Yield Impact Temporal Yield Variance by Abdullah A. Jaradat

“…Farmers' decision to adopt new management or production system depends on production risk. Grain yield data was used to assess production risk in a field experiment composed of two cropping systems (CNV and ORG), each with eight subsystems (two levels each of crop rotation (2-yr and 4-yr), tillage management (conventional, CT and strip, ST), and fertilizer input (fertilized, YF and non-fertilized, NF)). …”

Research on FTTR WLAN indoor wireless location algorithm based on frequency response by Zhifeng LONG, Jing ZHANG

“…Highly accurate and reliable indoor wireless positioning services have been widely used.In order to obtain good positioning accuracy, the design of positioning algorithms needs to be matched with wireless positioning facilities.fiber to the room (FTTR) is an indoor access network solution based on IEEE 802.11 ax, a new generation of wireless local area network (WLAN) standard.Compared with the existing Wi-Fi networks, FTTR has a much larger available band width.However, FTTR WLAN also lacks of a public valid data set to support localization functions, which makes the localization research based on FTTR scenarios face huge obstacles.In order to solve the above problems, firstly, a frequency response-based FTTR scene dataset generation method was proposed, which uses the existing Wi-Fi localization dataset to generate the frequency response matrix within the available band width of FTTR.Then, the parallel path principal component analysis (PCA) method was used to generate the classification matrix.And the generated dataset was trained using a fully connected neural network to improve the accuracy.The experimental results on the real measurement dataset show that the proposed localization algorithm can achieve a localization accuracy of less than 1 m, which is not only more accurate than the traditional location estimation algorithm, but also basically meets the fine-grained localization requirements for practical applications.…”

Cross-dataset person re-identification method based on multi-pool fusion and background elimination network by Yanfeng LI, Bin ZHANG, Jia SUN, Houjin CHEN, Jinlei ZHU

“…The existing cross-dataset person re-identification methods were generally aimed at reducing the difference of data distribution between two datasets,which ignored the influence of background information on recognition performance.In order to solve this problem,a cross-dataset person re-ID method based on multi-pool fusion and background elimination network was proposed.To describe both global and local features and implement multiple fine-grained representations,a multi-pool fusion network was constructed.To supervise the network to extract useful foreground features,a feature-level supervised background elimination network was constructed.The final network loss function was defined as a multi-task loss,which combined both person classification loss and feature activation loss.Three person re-ID benchmarks were employed to evaluate the proposed method.Using MSMT17 as the training set,the cross-dataset mAP for Market-1501 was 35.53%,which was 9.24% higher than ResNet50.Using MSMT17 as the training set,the cross-dataset mAP for DukeMTMC-reID was 41.45%,which was 10.72% higher than ResNet50.Compared with existing methods,the proposed method shows better cross-dataset person re-ID performance.…”
