PhD fellowship in UAV based remote sensing for agriculture research Agriculture Victoria

PhD fellowship in UAV based remote sensing for agriculture research Agriculture Victoria Are you enthusiastic about remote sensing in high-throughput phenotyping approaches for crop breeding research? If you are interested in employing UAVs, multispectral and LiDAR in extracting phenotyping parameters and understanding the underlying mechanism that governs crop yield, this PhD fellowship can be for you. Understanding the interaction of genotype with the environment is of prime importance, which can be achieved by the measurement of phenotypic traits of the crop. The field of phenomics is a large-scale collection of data-set to study, analyze and understand the interaction of genomic variations with the varying environment by revealing the relation between genotype and phenotypes. Traditionally, plant phenotyping has been achieved by manually collecting the data from the plants to select the best performing genotype. Technological advancement in the plant phenotyping has been a topic of

The topologist’s map of the world

Image
The topologist's map of the world This map, at first glance, similar to a medieval map of the world 'mappa mundi', is the topologist's map of the world, showing international borders, and nothing else. Topology in math is the study of properties that are preserved when a shape is curved or elongated. So a circle and a square are topologically equal because they are both a simple loop. A figure eight isn't comparable to them since it has the intersection point and two loops. This map is showing the basic adjacency within regions, without consideration for the complicated shapes the areas take. In topology, the borders can be smoothed out, but the adjacency is a fixed property that remains no matter how much the edge is reshaped. The map shows the topology of national borders; all information about a country's shape and size are ignored. This leads to some interesting effects: Brunei and Indonesia are linked to Afro-Eurasia since they connected through Malaysia, e

Weather Forecast Update for 2020 #SouthWestMonsoon Rainfall". #MonsoonRainfall is likely to be 102% of the LPA with model error of ±4%.

Image
India Meteorological Department today issued a press release about the predictions for "Long Range Forecast Update for 2020 #SouthWestMonsoon Rainfall". #MonsoonRainfall is likely to be 102% of the LPA with model error of ±4%.   This year, rainfall is likely to be 107% of LPA over #NorthWestIndia, 103% of LPA over #CentralIndia, 102% of LPA over South Peninsula, & 96% of LPA over #NorthEastIndia, all with a model error of ± 8 %. A spatially well distributed Monsoon Rainfall expected.  Rainfall for July & Aug is expected to be 103% & 97% of its LPA respectively both with a model error of ± 9 % based on 6-parameter Statistical Ensemble Forecasting System (SEFS) & Principal Component Regression (PCR) models. The 5 category probability forecasts predict a very low (only 5%) probability for Monsoon Rainfall to be deficient. While there's a very high probability for monsoon rainfall to be normal (41%). ....
