Adaptive relay selection algorithm in decode-and-forward cooperative communication networks

An adaptive relay selection algorithm(ARS) is proposed to optimize the performance of decode-and-forward cooperative communication networks, both system outage probability and average numbers of cooperative relays are analyzed. When the direct transmission between source and destination is fail, according to the channel quality, the destination orders relay nodes in the decode set, and the ordered relays are included in cooperation in turn until the instantaneous received SNR at destination is not smaller than the preset SNR threshold. Simulation results show that, the proposed algorithm can get optimal outage performance, decrease the average numbers of cooperative relays efficiently, to incrense bandwidth efficiency and reduce system overhead.     

ZTR割草机自动变割幅结构及控制系统设计

针对零转弯半径(ZTR)割草机割幅宽度固定、无法适应复杂的作业环境的问题,研发了一种可以自动变割幅的割草器,在1.2m割幅的WBZ12219K-S ZTR割草机的基础上,在主刀盘两侧分别增加一个副刀盘。副刀盘主要由割刀、连接板、伺服电动推杆及曲线槽等组成,通过伺服电动推杆的伸缩,控制副刀盘的旋转,以达到变割幅的目的。工作时,通过图像识别技术识别出前方障碍物信息,判断出障碍物间距,将该间距进行区分做出相应的对策,并经由串口通信协议传递给PLC,然后控制割幅的变化,可以实现1.2~1.8m无极自动变割幅。

Factors determining the adoption of laser land leveling in the irrigated rice–wheat system in Haryana,India

Laser land leveling has been increasingly adopted in the irrigated rice (Oryza sativa L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system in the state of Haryana (India), located in the north-western Indo-Gangetic Plains. Still, many farmers have applied it to only a fraction of their land. In this study, we used data collected from 621 farm households in Haryana and applied a double-hurdle model for assessing the factors that determine the adoption and intensity of laser-leveling technology. The results show that large land holders are more likely to laser level their farm land; however, we found a negative association between land holdings and the proportion of laser-leveled land. Information about technology through farmer-to-farmer communication and through private traders, participation in agricultural training and membership in local agricultural institutions increased both the likelihood and the intensity of adoption. Our findings call for a closer collaboration among the various stakeholders, specifically to promote farmer-to-farmer communication through increased participation in local institutions and increase the rate of adoption of laser leveling technology.     

Using webinars to extend the reach of soil learning in New South Wales: A first look

Increasingly knowledge is shared using new web‐based channels. The use of these channels is relatively new in the realm of soil science. However, they may prove to be very useful for connecting time‐poor, geographically dispersed audiences in an efficient and cost‐effective way. There has been limited study of this form of knowledge sharing for natural science (let alone soil science). In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, the NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) has coordinated the Soil Network of Knowledge (SNoK) monthly webinar over 3 years, with over 40 webinars targeting an audience of next users of soil information. Aggregated data collected from these webinars indicated that the majority of information is used for professional development by participants. Whether this will eventually lead to on‐ground practice change because of the improved professional and technical knowledge of participants is still a moot point and will require further investigation over time. The information collected on attendance and participation showed that webinars are a good way to connect with some target audiences such as other government bodies that have a historical relationship with NSW DPI. However, other target audiences that NSW DPI has always found difficulty in engaging, such as private advisers, require more active overtures to drive participation. The growing subscriber base is encouraging.

So much for the city: Urban–rural song variation in a widespread Asiatic songbird

Song plays a fundamental role in intraspecific communication in songbirds. The temporal and structural components of songs can vary in different habitats. These include urban habitats where anthropogenic sounds and alteration of habitat structure can significantly affect songbird vocal behavior. Urban–rural variations in song complexity, song length and syllable rate are not fully understood. In this study, using the oriental magpie‐robin (Copsychus saularis) as a model, we investigated urban–rural variation in song complexity, song length, syllable rate, syllable length and inter‐syllable interval. Comparing urban and rural songs from 7 countries across its natural Asiatic range (Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand), we found no significant differences in oriental magpie‐robin song complexity. However, we found significant differences in temporal song variables between urban and rural sites. Longer songs and inter‐syllable intervals in addition to slower syllable rates within urban sites contributed the most to this variance. This indicates that the urban environment may have driven production of longer and slower songs to maximize efficient transmission of important song information in urban habitats.
