Core Method

Agricultural activities induce micro-topographical changes, soil compaction and structural changes due to soil cultivation, which directly affect ecosystem services. However, little is known about how these soil structural changes occur during and after the planting of orchards, and which key factors and processes play a major role in soil compaction due to cultivation works. This study evaluates the improved stock unearthing method (ISUM) as a low-cost and precise alternative to the tedious and costly traditional core sampling method, to characterize the changes in soil compaction in a representative persimmon orchard in Eastern Spain. To achieve this goal, firstly, in the field, undisturbed soil samples using metallic core rings (in January 2016 and 2019) were collected at different soil depths between 45 paired-trees, and topographic variations were determined following the protocol established by ISUM (January 2019). Our results show that soil bulk density (Bd) increases with depth and in the inter-row area, due to the effect of tractor passes and human trampling. The bulk density values of the top surface layers (0–12 cm) showed the lowest soil accumulation, but the highest temporal and spatial variability. Soil consolidation within three years after planting as calculated using the core samples was 12 mm, whereas when calculated with ISUM, it was 14 mm. The quality of the results with ISUM was better than with the traditional core method, due to the higher amount of sampling points. The ISUM is a promising method to measure soil compaction, but it is restricted to the land where soil erosion does not take place, or where soil erosion is measured to establish a balance of soil redistribution. Another positive contribution of ISUM is that it requires 24 h of technician work to acquire the data, whereas the core method requires 272 h. Our research is the first approach to use ISUM to quantify soil compaction and will contribute to applying innovative and low-cost monitoring methods to agricultural land and conserving ecosystem services.

Abstract The increasing size of solar datasets demands highly efficient and robust analysis methods. This paper presents an approach that can increase the computational efficiency of differential emission measure (DEM) inversions by an order of magnitude or higher, with the efficiency factor increasing with the size of the input dataset. The method, named the Gridded Solar Iterative Temperature Emission Solver (Grid-SITES) is based on grouping pixels according to the similarity of their intensities in multiple channels, and solving for one DEM per group. This is shown to be a valid approach, given a sufficiently high number of grid bins for each channel. The increase in uncertainty arising from the quantisation of the input data is small compared to the general measurement and calibration uncertainties. In this paper, we use the Solar Iterative Temperature Emission Solver (SITES) as the core method for the DEM inversion, although Grid-SITES provides a general framework which may be used with any DEM inversion method, or indeed any large multi-dimensional data inversion problem. The method is particularly efficient for processing larger images, offering a factor of 30 increase in speed for a 10 megapixel image. For a time series of observations, the gridded results can be passed sequentially to each new image, with new populated bins added as required. This process leads to increasing efficiency with each new image, with potential for a ${\approx\,}100$≈100 increase in efficiency dependent on the size of the images.

A new method for the detection of water masses and for the tracing of their mixing paths is described. Histograms of the salinity frequency distribution on 0.10 σt intervals from σt 26.90 to 27.70 contain modes which indicate the salinity characteristics of the intermediate water masses of the south-east Indian Ocean. These salinity characteristics are used to trace the extent of spreading of the water masses on these σt intervals and to determine trajectories of shallow and deep mixing. Comparison is made of the results obtained by the new method with those by the core method for the water masses and circulation in intermediate depth of the south-east Indian Ocean. The core method in this region has not been able to show the large extent of deep mixing associated with the spreading of the Banda and Antarctic Intermediate water masses. The core method has also failed to show the widespread distribution of patches of Banda water at about 400-500 m throughout the whole south-east Indian Ocean.

Based on Standard Literature Library of CNKI, opportunities for technical standards development are identified. The initial keywords of technical standard are determined based on LDA model, whose similar keywords are further confirmed by Word2Vec, and then combining LDA model with Word2Vec the representative keywords of technical standard of manufacturing industry are determined. According to confirmed representative keywords, the core technical standards of manufacturing industry are identified by using the center degree and “M-core” method. The dimensions of the frequency square matrix are reduced by using the PCA module of Python, and the scatter plot is brawn, the technology gaps are identified by combing the consideration on the core technical standards, and then the future development opportunities are confirmed based on the map of patent technology effect matrix.

Architects and urban planners have traditionally considered social sciences to learn their tools, particularly the ones that allow them to analyse and describe the environments and the people for whom they work. This has led architects to develop better tools of observation and description of the social realm and not only the material one. Nevertheless, most of the times this interdisciplinary approach has identified social sciences, and specially anthropology, with ethnography. This paper departs from the critique of this identification made by anthropologist Tim Ingold and focuses in what he proposes is the core method of anthropology, participant observation. Then it reviews several recent proposals of social scientists who are searching for a non-representational more future oriented discipline. Which is an aim more related to that of architects. This paper tries to imagine how this transdisciplinary practice could look like.
