Optimization of cereal productivity and physiological performance under desert conditions: varying irrigation, salinity and planting density levels by Pedro García-Caparros, Abdullah J. Al-Dakheel, Abdullah J. Al-Dakheel, Maria D. Serret, Maria D. Serret, Jose L. Araus, Jose L. Araus

“…The experimental design employed a factorial combination split-plot arrangement including five primary factors: crop species (barley, triticale and finger millet), genotypes (3 in barley, 3 in triticale and 2 in finger millet), salinity levels (2 and 10 dS m-1), irrigation levels (100%, 150%, and 200% ETo), and planting densities (30 and 50 cm of spacing between rows). Agronomic parameters (e.g. plant height, grain yield, total plant dry weight and harvest index) and physiological parameters [Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) readings, together with nitrogen and carbon concentration isotopic composition, chlorophyll, flavonoids, and anthocyanins concentrations in flag leaves and the Nitrogen Balance Index (NBI)] exhibited distinct genotypic responses across the species investigated. …”

Estimation of Elasticity of Porous Rock Based on Mineral Composition and Microstructure by Zaobao Liu, Jianfu Shao, Weiya Xu, Chong Shi

“…Then the support vector machine (SVM) optimized by the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is examined to generate estimations of the ECS based on the mineral composition and microstructures. The SVM is trained with 30 samples to search for optimal parameters using the PSO, and thus the estimation model is established. …”
