A very large volume of climatic and agricultural data is captured and recorded by on-farm monitoring devices that is uploaded to various different data service providers. It is consistently difficult for land managers to discover, access, understand and use the data due to its disparate nature, limited access to it and multiple proprietary formats used. The Soil Sensing project is developing tools and technologies to help improve the ability to discover, access, understand, and use time-series farm-scale data across disparate data providers. This is achieved by the development and deployment of loosely-coupled web services in the form of a Data Streams Integrator system (DSI), which implements a combined brokered and federated data supply chain pattern. The DSI is composed of the Data Brokering Layer, the Observations and Measurements translation layer, the Sensor Observation Service interface and a metadata registry and repository.

With the development of technology, especially technologies related to artificial intelligence (AI), the fine-dust data acquired by various personal monitoring devices is of great value as training data for predicting future fine-dust concentrations and innovatively alerting people of potential danger. However, most of the fine-dust data obtained from those devices include either missing or abnormal data caused by various factors such as sensor malfunction, transmission errors, or storage errors. This paper presents methods to interpolate the missing data and detect anomalies in PM2.5 time-series data. We validated the performance of our method by comparing ours to well-known existing methods using our personal PM2.5 monitoring data. Our results showed that the proposed interpolation method achieves more than 25% improved results in root mean square error (RMSE) than do most existing methods, and the proposed anomaly detection method achieves fairly accurate results even for the case of the highly capricious fine-dust data. These proposed methods are expected to contribute greatly to improving the reliability of data.

Preliminary results reported last year on the ion etching of tobacco mosaic virus indicated that the diameter of the virus decreased more rapidly at 10KV than at 5KV, perhaps reaching a constant value before disappearing completely.In order to follow the effects of ion etching on TMV more quantitatively we have designed and built a second apparatus (Fig. 1), which incorporates monitoring devices for measuring ion current and vacuum as well as accelerating voltage. In addition, the beam diameter has been increased to approximately 1 cm., so that ten electron microscope grids can be exposed to the beam simultaneously.

To forecast time series data, two methodological frameworks of statistical and computational intelligence modelling are considered. The statistical methodological approach is based on the theory of invertible ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average) models with Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimating method. As a competitive tool to statistical forecasting models, we use the popular classic neural network (NN) of perceptron type. To train NN, the Back-Propagation (BP) algorithm and heuristics like genetic and micro-genetic algorithm (GA and MGA) are implemented on the large data set. A comparative analysis of selected learning methods is performed and evaluated. From performed experiments we find that the optimal population size will likely be 20 with the lowest training time from all NN trained by the evolutionary algorithms, while the prediction accuracy level is lesser, but still acceptable by managers.

Exchange rate is one tool to measure a country’s economic conditions. The growth of a stable currency value indicates that the country has a relatively good economic conditions or stable. This study has the purpose to analyze the factors that affect the exchange rate of the Indonesian Rupiah against the United States Dollar in the period of 2000-2013. The data used in this study is a secondary data which are time series data, made up of exports, imports, inflation, the BI rate, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and the money supply (M1) in the quarter base, from first quarter on 2000 to fourth quarter on 2013. Regression model time series data used the ARCH-GARCH with ARCH model selection indicates that the variables that significantly influence the exchange rate are exports, inflation, the central bank rate and the money supply (M1). Whereas import and GDP did not give any influence.
