Optimization of Multi-Source Remote Sensing Soil Salinity Estimation Based on Different Salinization Degrees by Huifang Chen, Jingwei Wu, Chi Xu

“…Specifically, this study integrated in situ hyperspectral data and satellite multispectral data using spectral response functions. Subsequently, machine learning methods such as random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), support vector machine (SVM), and multiple linear regression (MLR) were employed, in combination with sensitive spectral indices, to develop a multi-source remote sensing soil salinity estimation model optimized for different salinization degrees (mild or lower salinization vs. moderate or higher salinization). …”

Public management of smart cities: European experience by S. A. Zakharova

“…The author considers these processes in comparison with the Russian scientists approaches, and focuses on the important conclusion of foreign scientists that technology alone will not make the city smarter: the construction of a smart city requires a political understanding of technology, a process approach to management, an emerging smart city, and a focus on both economic benefits and other public values. The second group of articles, considered by the author, presents a more comprehensive view of the concepts of smart cities, with smart governance, combining, presumably, innovative structures and new technologies, new communication channels aimed at the constant functioning of the city management system and the environment for cooperation and citizen engagement. …”
