The trends of water vapor above fields will be a factor of both wind speed and direction
Hypotheses A-F assume that vegetation is transpiring. As noted above the June data and the widespread use of irrigation in the Central Valley means that this will often be the case. We do not have direct measurements of crop ET. However we utilize Land Surface Temperature as an indicator of plant activity. Fields with lower LST…

The edge cloud then computes a prediction using the last CPU value it received
However, it requires that the device and temperature sensor be co-located so that we can continuously update the regression coefficients. We, therefore, consider a second configuration that does not continuously update the coefficients using the most recent temperature data. We refer to this configuration as a “practical application” of our approach. For this configuration, we…

Several studies have demonstrated a correlation between pH and microbial community assembly patterns
Looking at Proteobacteria phylum dynamics along the chronosequence, relative abundances of α-Proteobacteria reduced over time, while relative abundances of β-, δ– and γ -Proteobacteria increased, in both bulk soil and the rhizosphere. Despite that, α-Proteobacteria was always the most abundant class inside Proteobacteria, regardless of time or soil fraction, representing 53.7% of sequences within Proteobacteria…

CNNs solve this problem by replacing linear layers with convolutional layers
The difference between the prediction and the reference labels is measured by a loss function, which varies depending on the task the neural network is applied toward. For example, a common loss function for regression tasks is mean squared error. If the task is complex, the sum of multiple loss functions can be used to…

Some had difficulties with the initial set of questions which were then revised slightly
How helpful are the various products that are offered by the Association to the members in perfonrJng their responsibilities? Do the types of analyses conducted, the frameworks utilized, and the usefulness of various Association products change with professional maturity? Can the AJAE, Choices, and the AAEA professional meetings be changed to serve the membership more…

The climate is Mediterranean with hot dry summers and cool wet winters
The cost of doing business is likely an important factor, although the specific reasons behind high costs of trade for a particular context have been challenging to distinctly identify . Measurement challenges make it difficult to distinguish the degree to which long distances, poor infrastructure, policy-driven market distortions, intermediary market power, and relatively limited information…

Results were similar and therefore we only present models controlling for allergy
We log10 transformed continuous fumigant use variables to reduce heteroscedasticity and the influence of outliers, and to improve the fit of the models. We used logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios of respiratory symptoms and/or asthma medication use with residential proximity to fumigant use. Our primary outcome was respiratory symptoms defined as positive if during…

A small percentage of managers from both categories did not support the idea of redistribution
More than half of CSA managers surveyed said that it is because affluent people are more able to afford produce. This result can be taken as an explicit recognition that the fundamental issue has to do with cost relative to income. Farmers’ market managers had somewhat different responses to the question about the reasons for…
