Irrigation Schedule of Rice Based on CROPWAT Model in Southern Central Yunnan by DUAN Qicai, WANG Shupeng, ZHANG Lei, LUO Yingpei, QI Na

“…This study is conducted to further review the rationality of the standard for rice irrigation quotas in Jianshui of southern central Yunnan.On the basis of the observation data of Jianshui Meteorological Station from 1958 to 2013 and the rice-season test results of irrigation test sites in Jianshui from 2016 to 2018,the crop and soil parameters in the CROPWAT model are calibrated,and the processes of water in the rice soaking stage and irrigation amount in the prime field stage are simulated.With frequency arrangement results of irrigation amount in the whole growth stage,the rice irrigation schedule is drafted by the typical-year method.The results indicate that under the irrigation probability (P) of P=50%,P=75%,and P=90%,the irrigation quota of Jianshui rice in the whole growth stage is 510.1,591.1,and 651.2 mm,respectively,including the quota for the rice soaking stage of 185.3,209.2,and 213.9 mm,as well as the quota for the prime field stage of 324.8,381.9,and 437.3 mm,respectively.The irrigation frequency in the prime field stage is 8,9,and 10 times,respectively,and the irrigation quota is between 20.3 to 46.7 mm.The standard for rice irrigation quotas in Jianshui of southern central Yunnan is between 240.0 to 255.0 mm in the rice soaking stage,and under the conditions of P=50%,P=75%,and P=90%,the rice irrigation quota in the prime field stage is 427.5~435.0,487.5~502.5,540.0~562.5 mm,respectively.The current standard for rice irrigation quotas is basically reasonable,but from the viewpoint of water conservation and protection,there is still some water-saving space for rice irrigation.…”

Robustness evaluation of commercial liveness detection platform by Pengcheng WANG, Haibin ZHENG, Jianfei ZOU, Ling PANG, Hu LI, Jinyin CHEN

“…Liveness detection technology has become an important application in daily life, and it is used in scenarios including mobile phone face unlock, face payment, and remote authentication.However, if attackers use fake video generation technology to generate realistic face-swapping videos to attack the living body detection system in the above scenarios, it will pose a huge threat to the security of these scenarios.Aiming at this problem, four state-of-the-art Deepfake technologies were used to generate a large number of face-changing pictures and videos as test samples, and use these samples to test the online API interfaces of commercial live detection platforms such as Baidu and Tencent.The test results show that the detection success rate of Deepfake images is generally very low by the major commercial live detection platforms currently used, and they are more sensitive to the quality of images, and the false detection rate of real images is also high.The main reason for the analysis may be that these platforms were mainly designed for traditional living detection attack methods such as printing photo attacks, screen remake attacks, and silicone mask attacks, and did not integrate advanced face-changing detection technology into their liveness detection.In the algorithm, these platforms cannot effectively deal with Deepfake attacks.Therefore, an integrated live detection method Integranet was proposed, which was obtained by integrating four detection algorithms for different image features.It could effectively detect traditional attack methods such as printed photos and screen remakes.It could also effectively detect against advanced Deepfake attacks.The detection effect of Integranet was verified on the test data set.The results show that the detection success rate of Deepfake images by proposed Integranet detection method is at least 35% higher than that of major commercial live detection platforms.…”

Recognition of the “membership” criterion as the only one for qualification of corporate relations: problematic aspects by Yu. M. Zhornokui

“…The current law enforcement practice shows that a single criterion (“membership in a legal entity”) is not sufficient to qualify the existence of corporate relations in a legal entity. The reason for this is that the fact of membership does not always give rise to legal, but mainly civil law consequences that directly arise from the membership relationship to involve a person in it. …”
