Challenges and opportunities of unmanned aerial vehicles as a new tool for crop pest control

The application of pesticides is not simply delivering chemicals to the target area. It also involves considering the negative aspects and developing strategies to deal with them during the application process, to ensure the maximization of pesticides use efficiency and the maintenance of the ecosystem. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sprayers demonstrate unique advantages compared to traditional ground sprayers, particularly in terms of maneuverability and labor intensity reduction, showed great potential for chemical application in pest control. It is undeniable that there exist challenges in the practice of UAV spraying, such as higher potential risks of pesticide drift or pathogen transmission, uncertainty canopy deposition for different crops, and unexpected leaf breakage induced by downwash flow. Maximizing the utilization of downwash flow while avoiding lateral air movement outside the intended target crop area is a major issue for chemical application with UAV sprayers, particularly in light of the increasingly apparent consensus on the need for enhanced environmental protection during the chemical application process. It must be considered that the operation strategy in different scenarios and for different crop targets is not the same, unique requirements should be given on nozzle atomization, flight parameters, adjuvants and aircraft types in specific working situations. In future, the implementation of spray drift prediction, technical procedures development, and other solutions aimed at reducing pesticide drift and improving deposition quality, is expected to promote the adoption of UAV sprayers by more farmers. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

棉花SSR多重PCR技术的初步研究和利用

简单重复序列(simple sequences repeat,SSR)具有数量丰富、高度多态、共显性等优点,是一种极具实用价值的标记,目前已成为研究种质资源遗传多样性、基因组作图的首选标记.SSR多重PCR扩增法可同时完成多个标记检测,具有高效、经济、快捷的特点,并保持了单一SSR引物扩增的高度敏感性和准确性.本文选取6对SSR引物,配成三组SSR两重PCR反应,并设置五种不同反应体系以探索PCR反应体系对其影响,以单一引物PCR扩增为对照,对用于构建亚洲棉(Gossypium arboreum)遗传图谱所用的亲本、F1及F2群体单株的DNA模板进行多重PCR探索、分析;另外,在扩增产物的电泳检测时,结合银染技术,试验了单一引物PCR扩增产物在同一泳道同时上样和先后分时上样的两重检测的方法,以期对这种方法进行多态性位点检测的效果进行评价.结果表明,即使采用与单一引物PCR相同的反应体系,两重PCR扩增也可获得与之相同的多态性产物;而两重检测法的结果亦显示出与相应的单引物检测到的相应的多态性位点,能准确反映单引物所能达到的检测效果,因而为SSR的多重PCR和扩增后多重检测的技术在高效的遗传图谱构建工作中进一步应用提供实验依据.

Target-based Security Management Architecture Applied to Management Information System

In order to implement the security management of management information system (MIS), a target-based security management architecture is proposed. For MIS users, the user interface (UI) is the only way to interact with the MIS system, so all the objects (targets) which need to be managed on UI is registered first, thus for every target the state such as enabled, not enabled, visible, not visible, readonly etc., is assigned. For some users, a set of targets with some state is assigned so that the management granularity in MIS can reach any degree. This approach provides a very flexible way to the security management in MIS.     

Model of Survivable Architecture

Critical information system in Interact is in face of increasingly security problems. More attention has been focused on the survivability of information system, which is the capability of system to continue its mission even in the presence of damage to the system. The authors first introduce the definition of survivability. According to four function properties of survivability, which are Resistance, Recognition, Recovery, and Adaption, the authors design a model of survivable system structure and then explain survivability requirement, survivability strategy in this model. Additionally, they provide possible technical solutions for the survivability of systems, categorized by different aspects of our survivability strategy.
