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. …”

Development of the blockchain curriculum system based on the PRIDE teaching mode by Yizhong LIU, Jianwei LIU, Qianhong WU

“…In recent years, with the widespread attention received by its currency attributes from all sectors of society, blockchain technology has been rapidly developed.Being an emerging technology, blockchain technology possessed characteristics such as decentralization, immutability, and anonymity that found extensive applications in digital currency, supply chain management, electronic voting and other fields.In response to the government's call, universities across the country began offering blockchain courses.However, during the actual teaching process, common problems such as lack of educational resources and untimely curriculum updates were encountered.Many blockchain courses in universities remained at the theoretical level and lacked practical application and practice, resulting in poor learning effectiveness and difficulty in meeting societal needs.To address these problems, a blockchain curriculum construction scheme based on the PRIDE teaching model was proposed.This scheme combined the advantages of traditional teaching models with the characteristics of blockchain courses were combined, incorporating political teaching, research teaching, inspiration teaching, seminar teaching, and example teaching into blockchain courses.The aim was to improve students’ learning effectiveness and practical application abilities.Through years of teaching verification, it was proven that this scheme successfully resolved the issues existing in traditional blockchain courses and improved learning effectiveness and practical application abilities.Additionally, the scheme met the requirements for training cyberspace security talent, providing a strong talent guarantee for the development and application of blockchain technology in China while achieving significant teaching effects.…”

“…Pigm and Pi-ta are two dominant genes known for their stable broad-spectrum resistance against rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, while badh2 is the crucial gene that regulates rice aroma.MethodsIn this study, we utilized a molecular marker-assisted selection backcrossing strategy to introduce Pigm, Pi-ta, and badh2 into introgressed lines employing re-sequencing for precise genetic background selection.ResultsFinally, we selected three introgressed lines, including two that carry Pigm with the highest background recovery rates, showing eating and cooking qualities similar to those of HR1212, and one line that pyramids Pigm, Pi-ta, and badh2, which features a strong aroma. They all displayed significantly enhanced resistance to panicle blast and improved yield compared to HR1212.DiscussionIn conclusion, this study expanded the germplasm resources of japonica, providing a material foundation for enhancing breeding programs aimed at developing rice blast-resistant and high-quality fragrant japonica varieties. …”
