Estimating characteristics of planted forests’ relative yield index using low pulse density LiDAR and satellite remote sensing by Asahi Hashimoto, Shodai Inokoshi, Chen-Wei Chiu, Yuichi Onda, Takashi Gomi, Yoshimi Uchiyama

“…A normalized LAI (ΩLAI) was developed to address differences in LAI attributable to tree height. The Ry estimation index (Ry_estimated) calculated using ΩST and ΩLAI was correlated with the Ry estimated from LiDAR data (correlation coefficient; r = 0.61–0.65), confirming its high accuracy (root mean square error; RMSE = 0.07–0.11). …”

PERFORMANCE STUDY OF THE DTU MODEL FOR RELATIONAL DATABASES ON THE AZURE PLATFORM by Serhii Minukhin

“…The aim of the study is to develop a system of indicators for monitoring the current state of work with the database for reasonable decision-making on the choice of a certain price category of the DTU model of the MS Azure cloud service, which will optimize the results of working with the database. platforms Achieving the set goals involves the following tasks: to analyze modern tools and services for working with databases, in particular relational databases, on Azure and AWS cloud platforms, the features of their application and implementation; develop software for generating test relational databases of different sizes; test the generated databases on a local resource; taking into account the characteristics of the levels of the Azure DTU model, develop a new system of performance indicators, which includes 2 groups - time indicators and indicators of the load on existing platform resources; develop and implement queries of varying complexity for the generated test database for different levels of the DTU model and analyze the results. …”

TaER Expression Is Associated with Transpiration Efficiency Traits and Yield in Bread Wheat. by Jiacheng Zheng, Zhiyuan Yang, Pippa J Madgwick, Elizabete Carmo-Silva, Martin A J Parry, Yin-Gang Hu

“…Based on the expression of TaER1 and TaER2, the 48 wheat varieties could be classified into three groups having high (5 varieties), medium (27 varieties) and low (16 varieties) levels of TaER expression. Significant differences were also observed between the three groups varying for TaER expression for several transpiration efficiency (TE)- related traits, including stomatal density (SD), transpiration rate, photosynthetic rate (A), instant water use efficiency (WUEi) and carbon isotope discrimination (CID), and yield traits of biomass production plant-1 (BYPP) and grain yield plant-1 (GYPP). …”
