Design of an Artificial Intelligence of Things Based Indoor Planting Model for Mentha Spicata

In recent years, many large-scale plantings have become refined small-scale or home plantings. The rapid progress of agriculture technologies and information techniques enables people to control the growth of agricultural products well. Hence, this study proposes an Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) based Plant Pot Design for planting edible mint in an office setting, which is called APPD. APPD is composed of intelligent gardens and a cloud-based service platform. An intelligent garden is deployed an Arduino with multiple sensors to monitor and control plant pots of the edible mint, Mentha spicata. The cloud-based service platform provides a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) inference engine with a database for adjustment influence factors. This study discusses eight growing statuses of Mentha spicata with different illumination, photometric exposure, and moisture content, designed for an office environment. Evaluation results indicate that Mentha spicata with 16 h red–blue lighting and 50% moisture content makes a maximum 5% mint extract of the total weight of the mint leaves. Finally, APPD can be a reference model for researchers and engineers.

Rebranding of OLX Ad Service Platform

The report describes the methodology for conducting marketing research, and records the results of the work done. All the knowledge gained about the topic of rebranding is described in the literature review. To prove the hypothesis, a survey was conducted with various groups of people. The results of the study are summarized and recommendations are described. Branding is a whole science that includes various directions in working with brands, one of which is rebranding. Rebranding is a brand-changing system that companies resort to in various not-so-good situations. Nowadays, there is a problem associated with the rebranding process itself, companies do not understand that the problem is not in the wrong choice of the target audience, but in the fact that the brand may turn out to be unpleasant to the eye, uninteresting or not well adapted to modern conditions. Rebranding is something that will never lose its relevance because companies change, develop, modernize and, in general, try to adapt to situations.

Construction of a Multimedia-Based University Ideological and Political Big Data Cloud Service Teaching Resource Sharing Model

In this paper, the intelligent education cloud service platform is first constructed in view of the high cost consumption in the process of resource sharing scheduling in colleges and universities. Secondly, the hierarchical education resource sharing grid model is proposed. Specifically, according to the characteristics of the educational resource grid, the key factors affecting the performance of copy creation strategy are analysed, and a dynamic copy creation strategy is proposed. A multiresource equity distribution mechanism based on the concept of resource sharing equity is further proposed. The mechanism establishes a planning model according to the limited task resource demand and the amount of resources shared by the user at different times so that the global cumulative share vector of superior resources meets the dictionary order optimally. The simulation experiment shows that the grid sharing model proposed in this paper has better performance on the educational cloud service platform. The proposed resource allocation mechanism has achieved good results in ensuring the fair distribution of resources and ensuring high resource utilization when resource sharing users put forward multiple groups of time-changing resource demands.

Research on the Construction of Intelligent Community Emergency Service Platform Based on Convolutional Neural Network

Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing community emergency service platform, such as single function, poor scalability, and strong subjectivity, an intelligent community emergency service platform based on convolutional neural network was constructed. Firstly, the requirements analysis of the emergency service platform was carried out, and the functional demand of the emergency service platform was analyzed from the aspects of community environment, safety, infrastructure, health management, emergency response, and so on. Secondly, through logistics network, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and all kinds of applications, the intelligent community emergency service platform was designed. Finally, a semantic matching emergency question answering system based on convolutional neural network was developed to provide key technical support for the emergency preparation stage of intelligent community. The results show that the intelligent community emergency service platform plays an important role in preventing community emergency events and taking active and effective measures to ensure the health and safety of community residents.

Progress on the Experimental Research of Sciatic Nerve Injury with Acupuncture

Objective. To collect and summarize relevant literatures on the experimental researches of sciatic nerve injury (SNI) with acupuncture during the last decade providing a guideline for effectively treating SNI with acupuncture in the future. Methods. The Chinese and English databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (WanFang Data), VIP Information Chinese Journal Service Platform (VIP Date), and PubMed were searched from 2009 to 2020 with keywords of “acupuncture and moxibustion OR acupuncture OR electroacupuncture OR scalp acupuncture OR wrist-ankle acupuncture OR acupoint injection OR ear acupuncture” AND “sciatic nerve OR sciatic nerve injury OR sciatic injury OR SNI.” The collected data were mainly evaluated in the items of animal model of SNI, type of interventions, selection of acupuncture points (acupoints), course of treatment and its frequency, and approaches of assessment. Results. A total of 89 studies were included in this analysis. Among them, the most commonly used animal models of SNI were produced by the clamp or transverse injury in the rats; the most frequently used intervention was electroacupuncture with dilatational wave of 2/100 Hz; the frequency of acupuncture was mainly performed once per day lasting for more than 2 weeks; the mainly selected acupoints were Huantiao (GB30), Zusanli (ST36), and Yanglingquan (GB34); and the approaches of assessment were contained with behavioral, functional, morphological, histological, cellular, and molecular measurements. Conclusion. The results indicated that the experimental researches of SNI with acupuncture has made marked progress in recent years, which may provide important clues for further investigating the underlying mechanisms of acupuncture for the treatment of SNI in the future.

FOLIO and Smart Libraries: Meeting the future needs of Chinese Libraries

The vision and concept of FOLIO have gained the attention and expectation from libraries. Its open and flexible service platform provides an approach to the realization of the Smart Libraries in the future. On the basis of summarising the needs of Smart Libraries in China, the paper expounds the architecture and ideas of providing smart services based on FOLIO. By analyzing the problems and challenges in the implementation and localization of FOLIO in China, the author points out that the“Chinese Alliance for Library Service Platform”(also called YunHan Alliance) should play a very important role in running the Chinese FOLIO community. It should steward the direction of the community, carry out the minimum open source software application suite, cultivate an open platform ecology, so as to support the new business models for the prosperity of Chinese libraries in the future.

How is FOLIO different from its predecessors?

FOLIO is a future-oriented library service platform. Enlightened by the results of the 2021 International Survey of Library Automation, the author shared thoughts on how FOLIO meets librarians’ expectations, why it’s a good time to get involved in the FOLIO project and what challenges FOLIO is facing at the current development stage.
