Determination of ²³⁸U Content by Gamma Radiation Emitting from ^234mPa Radionuclide by A. Khruschinski, S. Kutsen, A. Zhukouski, Naoyuki Sugai, Hiroshi Sugai, Michinori Mogi

“…The most optimal way to control 238U is to use the 234mPa radionuclide, the activity of which, due to its short lifetime (≈ 1.2 min), is unambiguously related to the activity of 238U even if the secular equilibrium is disturbed in the sample under studyРossibility of use of the 234mPa nuclide gamma radiation to determine 238U with a scintillation detector in a medium containing natural radionuclides is investigated and demonstrated using the simplest examples. …”

The Research on Precise Monitoring Methods for Grain Planting Areas Based on High-precision UAV Remote Sensing Images by XU Chang, WANG Chunxiao, LIU Lu, YAN Xiaobin, LIU Xiaojuan, Chen Hui, CHENG Mingxing, FAN Yewen

“…The experimental results show that, on the basis of balancing cost, efficiency, and accuracy, the Deeplabv3+ and PSPNet models combined with remote sensing image data of 8 cm resolution are more suitable for monitoring and extraction of rice cultivation areas, and PSPNet has a stronger few-shot learning ability. In response to the strong model generalization ability under the dispersed rice cultivation areas and diversified features, this paper proposes a method of transfer learning with a small number of samples. …”
