Nutrients are important to promote plant growth and nutrient deficiency is the primary factor limiting crop production. However, excess fertilisers can also have a negative impact on crop quality and yield, cause an increase in pollution and decrease producer profit. Hence, determining the suitable quantities of fertiliser for every crop is very useful. Currently, the agricultural systems with internet of things make very large data volumes. Exploiting agricultural Big Data will help to extract valuable information. However, designing and implementing a large scale agricultural data warehouse are very challenging. The data warehouse is a key module to build a smart crop system to make proficient agronomy recommendations. In our paper, an electronic agricultural record (EAR) is proposed to integrate many separate datasets into a unified dataset. Then, to store and manage the agricultural Big Data, we built an agricultural data warehouse based on Hive and Elasticsearch. Finally, we applied some statistical methods based on our data warehouse to extract fertiliser information such as a case study. These statistical methods propose the recommended quantities of fertiliser components across a wide range of environmental and crop management conditions, such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) for the top ten most popular crops in EU.
Textiles have an important role in many cultures and have been digitised. They are three-dimensional objects and have complex structures, especially archaeological fabric specimens and artifact textiles created manually by traditional craftsmen. In this article, we propose a novel algorithm for textile classification based on their structures. First, a hypergraph is used to represent the textile structure. Second, multisets of
k
-neighbourhoods are extracted from the hypergraph and converted to one feature vector for representation of each textile. Then, the
k
-neighbourhood vectors are classified using seven most popular supervised learning methods. Finally, we evaluate experimentally the different variants of our approach on a data set of 1,600 textile samples with the 4-fold cross-validation technique. The experimental results indicate that comparing the variants, the best classification accuracies are 0.999 with LR, 0.994 with LDA, 0.996 with KNN, 0.994 with CART, 0.998 with NB, 0.974 with SVM, and 0.999 with NNM.
According to some medical imaging techniques, breast histopathology images called Hematoxylin and Eosin are considered as the gold standard for cancer diagnoses. Based on the idea of dividing the pathologic image (WSI) into multiple patches, we used the window [512,512] sliding from left to right and sliding from top to bottom, each sliding step overlapping by 50% to augmented data on a dataset of 400 images which were gathered from the ICIAR 2018 Grand Challenge. Then use the EffficientNet model to classify and identify the histopathological images of breast cancer into 4 types: Normal, Benign, Carcinoma, Invasive Carcinoma. The EffficientNet model is a recently developed model that uniformly scales the width, depth, and resolution of the network with a set of fixed scaling factors that are well suited for training images with high resolution. And the results of this model give a rather competitive classification efficiency, achieving 98% accuracy on the training set and 93% on the evaluation set.
In wireless sensor networks, LEACH is often used as an energy saving protocol and extends the network life. However, there are many parameters that affect the performance of the LEACH protocol, one of which is the number of cluster heads. This paper proposes a simple and efficient solution to determine the optimal number of cluster heads in the LEACH protocol. For the proposed solution, the system can achieve the optimal performance between the longest lifetime in the constraint as the largest amount of data transmitted in the network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
