雷达信号分选是电子战系统中的关键技术,是战场态势感知的重要环节,新体制雷达技术的快速发展给复杂电磁环境下信号分选带来了严峻挑战。针对传统K-means聚类算法在对雷达全脉冲数据进行信号分选时存在对聚类数K和初始点选择较为敏感的问题,提出了一种基于优化K-means的雷达信号分选算法。通过将水波中心扩散(water wave center diffusion,WWCD)优化算法和Canopy算法相结合,实现了Canopy算法距离阈值的优选,并为后续K-means聚类优化了K值的选择,有效降低了K-means算法对初始聚类数选择的敏感性。实验中,主要通过3个UCI公开数据集和3类频率跳变雷达脉冲数据进行聚类分选效果验证,并与常见的DBSCAN、OPTICS、Canopy-K-means等聚类算法进行了聚类效果对比。结果表明,所提方法有较高的聚类分选准确率,且对初始参数的设置不敏感。
Dense cropping increases crop yield but intensifies resource competition,which reduces single plant yield and limits potential yield growth.Optimizing canopy spacing could enhance resource utilization,support crop morphological development and increase yield.Here,a three-year study was performed to verify the feasibility of adjusting row spacing to further enhance yield in densely planted soybeans.Of three row-spacing configurations(40-40,20-40,and 20-60 cm)and two planting densities(normal 180,000 plants ha 1 and high 270,000 plants ha 1).The differences in canopy structure,plant morphological development,photosynthetic capacity and their impact on yield were analyzed.Row spacing configurations have a significant effect on canopy transmittance(CT).The 20-60 cm row spacing configuration increased CT and creates a favorable canopy light environment,in which plant height is reduced,while branching is promoted.This approach reduces plant competition,optimizes the developments of leaf area per plant,specific leaf area,leaf area development rate,leaf area duration and photosynthetic physiological indices(Fv/Fm,ETR,Pn).The significant increase of 11.9%-34.2%in canopy apparent photosynthesis(CAP)is attributed to the significant optimization of plant growth and photosynthetic physiology through CT,an important contributing factor to yield increases.The yield in the 20-60 cm treatment is 4.0%higher than in equidistant planting under normal planting density,but 5.9%under high density,primarily driven by CAP and pod number.These findings suggest that suitable row spacing configurations optimize the light environment for plants,promote source-sink transformation in soybeans,and further improve yield.In practice,a 20-60 cm row spacing configuration could be employed for high-density soybean planting to achieve a more substantial yield gain.
Tree canopy landscapes are an important component of urban forests and have the potential to influence human emotions.However,their influence on emotional responses remains unclear.The aims of this study were:(1)to determine whether the canopy landscape affects human emotions;(2)to clarify the influence of canopy landscape on individual emotional indicators;and(3)to identify the ratio of canopy landscape elements with the most beneficial effects on human emotions.Different canopy landscape images were generated,and the self-reported emotions and neural activity of the subjects assessed before and after they viewed the images.The results of the statistical analysis were intuitively displayed by a ternary phase diagram.We found that the canopy landscape affected human emotions and different proportions of canopy landscape elements led to significant differences in excitement,depression and confusion.Higher proportions of blue elements and lower proportions of green and other elements characterized the canopy landscape with the most beneficial effect on human emotions.These findings will promote further research on canopy landscapes,inform the planning and design of urban forests,and contribute to the field of landscape architecture.
Intercropping has been widely used in arid and semi-arid regions because of its high yield,stable productivity,and efficient utilization of resources.However,in recent years,the high yield of traditional intercropping is mainly attributed to the large amount of purchased resources such as water and fertilizer,plastic film,and mechanical power.These lead to a decline in cultivated land quality and exacerbate intercrops'premature root and canopy senescence.So,the application of traditional intercropping faces major challenges in crop production.This paper analyzes the manifestations,occurrence mechanisms,and agronomic regulatory pathways of crop senescence.The physiological and ecological characteristics of intercropping to delay root and canopy senescence of crops are reviewed in this paper.The main agronomic regulatory pathways of intercropping to delay root and canopy senescence of crops are based on above-and blow-ground interactions,including collocation of crop varieties,spatial arrangement,water and fertilizer management,and tillage and mulch practices.Future research fields of intercropping to delay root and canopy senescence should focus on the aspects of selecting and breeding special varieties,application of molecular biology techniques,and developing or applying models to predict and evaluate the root and canopy senescence process of intercrops.Comprehensive analysis and evaluation of different research results could provide a basis for enhancing intercropping delay root and canopy senescence through adopting innovative technologies for regulating the physio-ecological characteristics of intercrops.This would support developing and adopting high-yield,efficient,and sustainable intercropping systems in arid and semi-arid areas with high population density,limited land,and abundant light and heat resources.
Canopy openings have a vital role in forest structure,regeneration,and plant composition.In this study,we investigated and compared the species composition and densities of seedlings and saplings between canopy gaps(openings)and forest understories(in dense canopies)in a sub-tropical forest of Bangladesh.We objectively identified 42 canopy openings between transect lines and 42 main plots in dense canopies,sampled for regeneration and young tree patterns.For the regeneration study,we placed 2 m×2 m four subplots in each canopy opening and the main plot of dense canopy,thus making a total of 336 subplots.The species diversity of seedlings,saplings,and trees were significantly(P≤0.05)higher in the dense canopy than in the canopy opening.Although,most dominant and frequent regenerating species such as Diospyros pilosula,Garcinia cowa,Brownlowia elata,and Lithocarpus polystachya were common in both dense canopy and openings,the canopy openings had the highest Importance Value Index,suggesting the significance of gap dynamics in the dominance of native floral species.The dense canopy played an important role in forest compositions because 12 regenerating species,including Stereospermum suaveolens and Diospyros montana,were not found in the canopy openings,implying that rain forests must maintain a high canopy cover for regeneration.
Temperate woodland vegetation is initially determined by spatiotemporal and historical factors,mediated by complex biotic interactions.However,catastrophic events such as disease outbreaks(e.g.,sweet chestnut blight,ash dieback),infestations of insect pests,and human-accelerated climate change can create canopy gaps due to systematic decline in,or loss of,tree species that was once an important part of the canopy.Resultant cascade effects have the potential to alter the composition of woodland ecosystems quickly and radically,but inherent lag times make primary research into these effects challenging.Here,we explore change in woodland vegetation at 10 sites in response to canopy opening using the Elm Decline,a rapid loss of Ulmus in woodlands across northwestern Europe~5800 years ago that coexisted alongside other stressors such as increasing human activity,as a palaeoecological analogue.For arboreal taxa,community evenness significantly decreased,within-site turnover significantly increased,and richness remained unchanged.Changes in arboreal taxa were highly site-specific but there was a substantial decline in woody climbing taxa,especially Hedera(ivy),across the majority of sites.For shrub taxa,richness significantly increased but evenness and turnover remained consistent.Interestingly,however,there was a significant increase in abundance of shrubs at 70%of sites,including Calluna(heather),Ilex(holly)and Corylus(hazel),suggesting structural change.Surprisingly,there was no change in richness,evenness or turnover for herb taxa,possibly because change was highly variable spatially.However,there was a marked uptick in the disturbance indicator Plantago(plantain).Overall,these findings suggest that woodlands with sustained reduction in,or loss of,a tree species that once formed an important part of the canopy has profound,but often spatially idiosyncratic,impacts on vegetation diversity(richness),composition(evenness),stability(turnover),and on abundance of specific taxa,especially within the shrub layer.Use of thi
