Policy analysis matrix as an appropriate tool in assessing the extent of governmental interventions in agriculture by Jernej TURK

“…PAM measures a degree to which observable market prices for a particular farm product differ from efficiency (social) prices. This analysis clearly shows the impact of governmental interventions in agricultural production, where private and social profitabilities are evaluated on the basis of existing private and social revenues and costs that occur inside the given farm system. …”

Experimental Study on Thawing of Frozen Lamb with High Voltage Electrostatic Field by Tang Shupei, Li Baoguo, Gao Zhixin

“…Compared with that without high voltage electrostatic field, when the electric field intensity was 12.5 kV/m, the time of thawing frozen lamb was shorten 11.1%, the rate of juices loss was decreased 49.6%, the total microbial counts reduced an order of magnitude and the appearance of lamb was fresh, color and luster difference was obvious. This study provides a new method for improving efficiency and quality of lamb thawing.…”

Joint vibrotactile coding for machine recognition and human perception by Ying FANG, Yiwen XU, Tiesong ZHAO

“…In order to accurately transmit the content meaning of vibrotactile signals and achieve intelligent recognition and signal reconstruction, a joint vibrotactile coding scheme for machine recognition and human perception was proposed.At the encoding end, the original three-dimensional vibrotactile signals were converted into one-dimensional signals.Then the semantic information of the signals was extracted using a short-time Fourier transform before being effectively compressed and transmitted.At the decoding end, a fully convolutional neural network was used to intelligently recognize based on the semantic information.The difference between the original signals and the reconstructed signals based on semantic information was used as compensation for the semantic information, and the quality of the reconstructed signals was gradually improved to meet human perceptual needs.The experimental results show that the proposed scheme achieve tactile recognition with semantic information at a lower bit rate while improving the compression efficiency of tactile data, thus satisfying human perceptual needs.…”
