A new lean no time test baking method with improved discriminating power

In response to customer concerns related to gluten strength in commercial baking, the Canadian Grain Commission assessed whether the Canadian Short Process (CSP) test bake method was generating useful data related to intrinsic strength of wheat varieties. Assessment of CSP loaf volume data for Canadian variety trials spanning 2003 to 2013 showed very little correlation with dough strength parameters as measured by farinograph and extensigraph. A lean no time (LNT) test baking method was developed that can better discriminate genotypes and provide objective indicators of the effect of intrinsic dough strength on baking quality. From early method development, through method validation and verification using diverse sets of samples targeting different Canadian wheat classes and grown in three different crop years, results showed the LNT method to be more discriminating and easily adopted by other laboratories. In 2015, the LNT method was adopted as the method of choice in future Canadian variety registration trials. The LNT method is fast, simple and well-suited to high throughput test baking conditions encountered in the evaluation of large numbers of breeder lines. A new objective parameter, loaf top ratio, was also introduced and found to correlate well with dough strength and dough handling properties.

基于结构相似度的关中平原旱情空间分布特征

季节性干旱是影响关中平原农业生产最主要的灾害,研究气候变化背景下的关中平原旱情空间分布特征和变化规律具有重要的科学意义与应用价值。基于关中平原2003—2014年每年3月上旬—5月下旬的旬时间尺度条件植被温度指数(VTCI)的干旱监测结果,采用结构相似度(SSIM)研究关中平原VTCI的空间变化特征及其影响因子。结果表明:关中平原VTCI的空间变化特征具有明显的区域差异性和空间异质性,结构性因素是VTCI空间变化的主要影响因子,总体上受水热、地形分布格局等因素的结构性影响,但微地貌、下垫面覆盖的不同及变化和人为因素导致其主体产生变化。当微地貌、下垫面覆盖类型和人为因素成为主导因子时,结构相似度与其高度相关,对其变化的响应非常敏感。与利用某些指数直接作为干旱的指示因子或构建统计模型分析干旱特征相比,引入研究图像的结构信息的参量SSIM实现了定量、准确、形象地描述干旱的空间分布特征和变化规律。     

导叶位置对S型轴伸贯流泵装置水力性能的影响

为了研究不同导叶位置对S型轴伸式贯流泵装置水力性能的影响,设计了4种不同导叶相对位置的方案,并分别针对小流量(Q=0.8Q0)、设计流量(Q=1.0Q0)、大流量(Q=1.2Q0)3种工况下的S型轴伸贯流泵装置进行了数值模拟计算。对比数值模拟结果与试验结果,并分析计算结果的外特性与内特性,通过模型试验验证了数值模拟计算结果的准确性。结果表明,泵装置效率和扬程随导叶相对位置逐渐增大呈现先上升后下降的趋势,导叶与叶轮之间的相对距离存在最优值A=10 mm,在此位置时,泵装置效率和扬程相对最高,导叶体水力损失与出水流道水力损失相对最小,导叶体对于动能的回收能力强。小流量与设计流量工况下,出水流道进口平均涡角的大小随导叶相对位置先减小后增加,对应出水流道水力损失先下降后上升的趋势。大流量工况下,平均涡角不随导叶相对位置变化而变化。

Tundra plants protect the soil surface from UV

In the Arctic, seasonal ozone depletion is resulting in periods of enhanced UV-B radiation at ground level while regional climate change is associated with increasing temperatures. These changes are likely to alter plant distribution, biodiversity and morphology, which may have knock-on effects for microbially driven biogeochemical cycling and other soil processes. Our study examined the transmission of solar UV radiation through arctic tundra plants using a portable UV radiometer and the DLR-biofilm biological UV dosimeter. A strong negative correlation was found between vegetation cover and UV transmission to the soil surface. Penetration of UV to the soil beneath tundra plants varied depending upon plant morphology, being greater through low creeping plants than cushion plants, grasses or mosses. UV transmission to the soil surface beyond the foliage edge also varied with plant morphology and the presence of flowers.     

基于粗集权重的改进可拓评价方法在灌区干旱评价中的应用

在分析了灌区干旱评价特点和目前评价方法不足的基础上，引入了基于非对称贴近度和粗集理论的改进可拓评价方法，有效避免了灌区干旱评价指标界限的纲性量化导致的遗漏问题和单项指标评价结果的矛盾性、不确定性和不相容性。与传统可拓评价方法相比，在指标权重的确定中采用经验因子协调主客观权重，克服了以往决策者过分依赖专家经验知识确定的不足。在等级评价中采用非对称贴近度原则，代替最大隶属度，有效解决最大隶属度原则的失效问题。计算实例表明，采用基于粗集权重的改进可拓评价方法进行灌区干旱评价是切实可行的。     

浙江安吉主要植被类型根系分布特征研究

采用土柱法对黄浦江源区—浙江省安吉县主要植被类型林木细根分布特征进行了研究,结果表明：不同植被类型细根分布有较大差异,茶园、毛竹林、灌木林的根长、根表面积都要明显高于其他几种植被类型,而落阔林的根体积最大,常阔林的根重最大;细根随土层深度的增加而减少,林地细根主要分布在0-40cm土层。草地主要分布在0-30cm土层,这对抵抗径流侵蚀、保持水土资源具有重要意义;各样地根长均以〈0．5mm径级的根长含量最高,0．5-1mm径级次之,而2-5mm径级的最少。根系体积和根重具有相同的分布趋势。大小顺序均为：2—5mm〉1—2mm〉0．5-1mm〉0．5mm,与根长的分布状况正好相反。不同径级根表面积分布差异较大。     

Estimating chlorophyll content from hyperspectral vegetation indices: Modeling and validation

Leaf chlorophyll content, a good indicator of photosynthesis activity, mutations, stress and nutritional state, is of special significance to precision agriculture. Recent studies have demonstrated the feasibility of retrieval of chlorophyll content from hyperspectral vegetation indices composed by the reflectance of specific bands. In this paper, a set of vegetation indices belonged to three classes (normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), modified simple ratio (MSR) index and the modified chlorophyll absorption ratio index (MCARI, TCARI) and the integrated forms (MCARI/OSAVI and TCARI/OSAVI)) were tested using the PROSPECT and SAIL models to explore their potentials in chlorophyll content estimation. Different bands combinations were also used to derive the modified vegetation indices. In the sensitivity study, four new formed indices (MSR[705,750], MCARI[705,750], TCARI/OSAVI[705,750] and MCARI/OSAVI[705,750]) were proved to have better linearity with chlorophyll content and resistant to leaf area index (LAI) variations by taking into account the effect of quick saturation at 670 nm with relatively low chlorophyll content. Validation study was also conducted at canopy scale using the ground truth data in the growth duration of winter wheat (chlorophyll content and reflectance data). The results showed that the integrated indices TCARI/OSAVI[705,750] and MCARI/OSAVI[705,750] are most appropriate for chlorophyll estimation with high correlation coefficients R² of 0.8808 and 0.9406, respectively, because more disturbances such as shadow, soil reflectance and nonphotosynthetic materials are taken into account. The high correlation between the vegetation indices obtained in the developmental stages of wheat and Hyperion data (R² of 0.6798 and 0.7618 for TCARI/OSAVI[705,750] and MCARI/OSAVI[705,750], respectively) indicated that these two integrated index can be used in practice to estimate the chlorophylls of different types of corns.
