基于多源遥感数据的综合干旱监测模型构建

在全球气候变化越来越复杂的大背景下,准确监测华北粮食主产区的旱情对区域农业生产有重要的指导意义。以往的遥感干旱监测方法多侧重于监测土壤或植被等单一干旱响应因子,反映综合信息的能力较差,为此该研究使用中分辨率成像光谱仪(moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer,MODIS)、热带降水测量计划(tropical rainfall measuring mission,TRMM)卫星等多源遥感数据,在综合考虑干旱发生发展过程中的土壤水分胁迫、植被生长状态和气象降水盈亏等因素的基础上,利用空间数据挖掘技术,构建综合干旱监测模型,并以山东省为例进行了试验验证。结果表明,模型监测出山东省近年来所经历的重大干旱过程与实际旱情一致,模型输出的旱情指标-综合干旱指数(synthesized drought index,SDI)与小麦的标准化作物单产变量的相关系数均大于0.7(P0.05);在小麦和玉米的生长期,综合干旱指数与作物受灾面积的相关系数在-0.67～-0.85之间,与标准化降水指数(standardized precipitation index,SPI)的相关系数在0.44～0.67之间,且通过了P0.01的极显著检验(3月份除外)。研究结果为综合评估区域干旱提供了一种新的方法。

基于机器视觉的作物多姿态害虫特征提取与分类方法

由于野外诱捕害虫的姿态存在多样性和不确定性,使得利用机器视觉进行害虫的自动识别与计数仍然是一个难题。该文提出一种基于颜色和纹理等与形态无关的特征相结合和利用多类支持向量机分类器的多姿态害虫分类方法。通过对目标害虫图像进行不同颜色空间特征、基于统计方法的纹理特征和基于小波的纹理特征的提取,构建了6组不同组合的特征向量。将10阶交叉验证的识别率作为适应度函数值,利用遗传算法对各组特征向量进行降维筛选。最后利用基于有向无环图多类支持向量机分类器对多姿态害虫进行识别和特征组选择。结果表明,遗传算法最多可以使特征向量维数降到原来的38.89%,基于HSV三通道颜色图像的小波纹理特征组在建模时间和平均准确率方面都表现最优,可以作为一种有效的多姿态害虫分类特征选择。

针对如何从低压电网总泄漏电流中检测出生物体触电电流信号的难题,提出了一种基于网格搜索和交叉验证的最小二乘支持向量机的触电电流信号检测方法。首先在剩余电流动作保护装置触电物理试验系统平台上通过故障录波器获得生物体在3个典型时刻(电源电压最大时刻、电源电压过零时刻及电源电压任意时刻)发生触电过程的总泄漏电流和触电电流波形,并截取触电前1个周期和触电后3个周期共800个采样点的信号数据作为触电试验样本数据;然后将触电试验样本数据进行滤波预处理,预处理后的多个样本采样点的总泄漏电流组合成特征向量输入最小二乘支持向量机(least square-support vector machine,LS-SVM),相应样本采样点的触电电流作为其输出,并通过网格搜索与交叉验证相结合的方法来优化最小二乘支持向量机参数,利用输出最优参数组合对触电电流与总泄漏电流的关系进行训练,从而建立了触电电流的检测模型;最后利用该方法对10组测试样本数据进行了检测,检测结果为:当训练样本数据为20组时,检测均方误差为14.0040,当训练样本数据为40组时,检测均方误差为11.7469,当训练试验数据为65组时,检测均方误差为11.1849。与径向基(radial basis function,RBF)神经网络方法相比,最小二乘支持向量机方法比径向基神经网络方法检测均方误差分别低3.7272、1.9132、0.1556,从而可较准确地从总泄漏电流中检测出生物体触电电流信号,为开发新一代基于生物体触电电流分量而动作的自适应型剩余电流保护装置提供理论依据。     

Hydroxyl release by maize (Zea mays L.) roots under acidic conditions due to nitrate absorption and its potential to ameliorate an acidic Ultisol

Purpose

Hydroxyl ion release by maize (Zea mays L.) roots under acidic conditions was investigated with a view to develop a bioremediation method for ameliorating acid soils in tropical and subtropical regions.

Materials and methods

Two hydroponic culture experiments and one pot experiment were conducted: pH, nitrogen state, and rhizobox condition, which investigated the effects of different nitrogen forms on hydroxyl release by maize roots under acidic conditions.

Results and discussion

The pH of the culture solution increased as culture time rose. The gradient of change increased with rising NO₃ ^?/NH₄ ⁺ molar ratios. Maize roots released more hydroxyl ions at pH 4.0 than at pH 5.0. The amount of hydroxyl ions released by maize roots at a constant pH was greater than those at a nonconstant pH. Application of calcium nitrate reduced exchangeable acidity and increased the pH in an Ultisol rhizosphere, compared with bulk soil. The increasing magnitude of soil pH was greater at higher doses of N. The absorption of NO₃ ^?–N increased as the NO₃ ^?/NH₄ ⁺ molar ratios rose, which was responsible for hydroxyl ion release and pH increases in culture solutions and rhizosphere.

Conclusions

Root-induced alkalization in the rhizosphere resulting from nitrate absorption by maize plants can be used to ameliorate acidic Ultisols.

Proportion of circulating chicken heterophils and CXCLi2 expression in response to Salmonella enteritidis are affected by genetic line and immune modulating diet

Genetic line and diet affect chicken heterophil activity and gene expression, and the combination of these factors can enhance disease resistance. This study evaluated the effects of immune modulating diets on heterophil/lymphocyte (H/L) ratio and heterophil chemokine expression in distinct genetic lines. Fayoumi and Leghorn chickens were fed a basal diet or immune modulating diets enhanced with β-glucans, ascorbic acid, or corticosterone. H/L ratios and heterophil gene expression in response to in vitro stimulation with Salmonella enteritidis (SE) were evaluated on days 1, 3, 7, and 21 of diet treatment. The stress-mimicking corticosterone diet influenced H/L ratio in the Leghorn line, but not the Fayoumi line, suggesting resistance to stress-induced immunosuppression in the Fayoumi line. Leghorn line H/L ratios were increased on days 1 and 3 of corticosterone diet treatment, but not days 7 or 21. Expression of CXCLi2 by SE stimulated heterophils was higher in the Leghorn line, suggesting that Leghorns rely more heavily on inflammatory response than do Fayoumis. Corticosterone diet was associated with reduced CXCLi2 expression in heterophils from both lines. Dietary β-glucan or ascorbic acid did not affect H/L ratio or CXCLi2 expression, suggesting that benefits of these immunomodulators may not be evident in healthy birds.     

The 16MΔvjbR as an ideal live attenuated vaccine candidate for differentiation between Brucella vaccination and infection

Brucellosis brings great economic burdens for developing countries. Live attenuated vaccines are the most efficient means for prevention and control of animal Brucellosis. However, the difficulties of differentiating of infection from vaccine immunization, which is essential for eradication programs, limit their applications. Therefore, the development of a vaccine that could differentiate infection from immunization will overcome the limitations and get extensive application. VjbR is a quorum sensing regulator involving in Brucella's intracellular survival. The vjbR∷Tn5 mutants have been proven effective against wild type strain challenge, implying its possibility of use in vaccine candidate development. To further evaluate this candidate gene, in the present study, the antigenicity of purified recombinant VjbR protein was analyzed. Antibodies to Brucella melitensis VjbR could be detected in sera from patients and animals with brucellosis but not in control ones, implying the potential use of this protein as a diagnostic antigen. Then a vjbR mutant of B. melitensis 16M was constructed by replacing the vjbR with kanamycin gene. The mutant showed reduced survival in macrophage and mice. Vaccination of BALB/c mice with 16MΔvjbR conferred significant protective immunity against B. melitensis strain 16M challenges, being equivalent to which induced by the license vaccine Rev.1. The vjbR deletion mutant elicited an anti-Brucella-specific immunoglobulin G response and induced the secretion of gamma interferon and interleukin-10. The most importance is that, the use of vjbR mutants as vaccines in association with diagnostic tests based on the VjbR antigen would allow the serological differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals. These results suggest that 16MΔvjbR is an ideal live attenuated vaccine candidate against B. melitensis and deserves further evaluation for vaccine development.
