This document evaluates the accuracy of a method to compute the harvest area of field sections using combine movement trace data collected by GPS. The method calculates the harvest area by determining the traversed cells within the combine header boundaries. Untraversed gaps are allocated to nearby traversed cells. The study found that 64% of areas were calculated within 5% relative error and 85% within 10% error, though inaccuracies increase with improperly allocated gaps. The conclusion is that accuracy could be improved by better precision in allocating untraversed gaps.
Effects of outliers on productivity analyses based on Farm Accountancy Data N...Mathias Kloss
This document analyzes the effects of outliers on productivity analyses using farm-level data from the EU Farm Accountancy Data Network. It uses a two-step approach to identify outliers in the data and then estimate a Cobb-Douglas production function after removing outliers. The results show that outliers, which tended to be small farms in East Germany and labor-intensive farms in West Germany, influenced elasticity estimates. After removing outliers, returns-to-scale were found to be significantly equal to 1, whereas some estimates were insignificant before outlier removal. The study demonstrates that outlier detection procedures should be considered when using this type of micro-level agricultural data for decision-making.

This document summarizes research on the development and testing of vibratory extractors for extracting desired components from vegetable raw materials. The researchers developed new designs for periodic and continuous vibratory extractors that use low-frequency vibrations to intensify the extraction process. Experimental results showed that vibrations increased the extraction output and activated the interface between the solid and liquid phases. Mathematical models were developed to predict the extraction rates and mass transfer characteristics based on operating parameters like vibration frequency and amplitude. The vibratory extractors were found to more efficiently extract components from vegetable materials compared to existing extraction equipment.
The document summarizes a research study on developing a multi-sensor based method for detecting uncut crop edges in a head-feeding combine harvester. Key findings include:
1) Sensors including a laser range finder, RTK-GPS, and GPS compass were used to generate 3D terrain maps and detect uncut crop edges in real-time with an average processing speed of 35 ms.
2) The method was able to extract uncut crop edges with an average lateral offset of 0.154 m from the actual edge and estimate average crop height as 0.537 m.
3) While the method performed well generally, its accuracy decreased when the target path was obscured by lodged rice plants.
This document summarizes a laboratory seminar that presented a vision-based method for detecting uncut crop edges to guide a combine harvester. The presentation discussed materials and methods, including the experimental setup, inverse perspective mapping, color space transformation, and the uncut crop edge detection algorithm. It provided results from testing the method on different crop fields, showing a success rate of 97% across 2500 frames. Challenges included detecting edges in shadows and random crop patterns. The method performed image processing at 33ms per frame.
1) Technology plays an important role in PMFBY through uses like IT/ICT, remote sensing, GIS, smartphones, and drones.
2) Remote sensing data from satellites and drones helps improve CCE planning and yield estimation. Smartphone apps aid in timely CCE data collection.
3) Satellite images can help assess crop damage for on-account payments and detect issues like prevented sowing or area discrepancies. Remote sensing indices correlate well with crop yields.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Editor's Notes
Hello, everyone. My name is Mao Ogata. I am studying in Kyushu University. My study will make available the multidimensional grain data collected at grain elevator.
I know this is sudden, what is this? These 2 pictures are related to this one (movement traces).
少し間をおいて This is combine-movement traces in harvesting. The movement traces have 2-important information.
One is the location of harvested field. The other one is the time of grain reception at Grain elevator. Farmers harvest the fields and take the harvested grain to GE when truckload becomes full. GEs collect multidimensional informative data.
What are informative data? I will show you right now. In Japan, GEs collect these informative data in each truckload, such as weight rates of brown rice and poorly ripened grain, estimated weight of brown rice, grain moisture content and rough rice weight. However, these grain data are not related to the harvested field and time of grain reception at GEs. Thus, these informative grain data are not available.
Do you remember that combine-movement traces contain the information, such as, the location of harvested fields and the time of grain reception. Movement traces make the informative grain data collected at GEs available. For example, Brown rice yield is divided by the area of these movement traces, we can get mean brown rice yield. The area of combine movement traces means Section Harvest Area (SHA) in this study. Of course, there is such kind of SHA which consist of the movement traces in completely harvested field.
So then, the objective of this study is to evaluate the method developed to compute section harvest area (SHA) from combine-movement traces.
We mounted GPS receiver on the combine cabin roof. We exploited this GPS receiver to record the combine-movement traces in harvesting. The nominal accuracy of this GPS receiver was 0.9 m in circular error possibility. The Experiment duration was from October 10 to November 9, 2013. The movement traces was measured at 1-second intervals.
We surveyed SHAs in 59 fields, but the number of SHAs was 94. This is because when truckload becomes full, farmers stop harvesting and take the harvested grain to GEs, although harvesting in the field is still halfway. Here is the histogram of surveyed SHAs. The mean of this was 1583 m2.
We assumed the SHA, namely, combine-harvested area is the same to the area traversed by a combine header. Thus, we calculate the movement traces at the left and right edges of a combine header. We applied these formulas for the calculation based on the movement traces at the GPS receiver mounted position.
From this slide, I will show you a flow of computing SHAs. This is target field contain 3 SHAs. These SHAs are related to truckload numbers, from 1 to 3. At first, we put the grid area. (Animation) This grid area covers the all movement traces in this target field. It consists of 0.05 m square cells. When a cell includes the movement trace, this cell is regarded as traversed cell. The sum of the traversed cells means harvested area, in other words, temporary SHA.
The traversed cells are judged from the movement traces at the left and right edges of combine header at 1-second intervals.
Do you remember the sum of traversed cells means temporary SHA? There are some gaps which are not transplanted. The cells in the gaps have no movement trace, such as, untraversed gap1 and 2, we assumed that SHA should include these untraversed gaps. To add the area of untraversed gaps, at first, we need extract them.
We applied the Connected Component Labeling to extract the untraversed gaps. This method judges the continuously connected cells by referring surrounding cells in these 4 directions and labels the same number, except for the traversed cells. For other continuously connected cells, this method labels different numbers. As a result, the method extracted the all of cells in each untraversed gap. Finally, we allocated the untraversed gaps to temporary SHAs.
By referring the number of surrounding traversed cells in this quadrangle, we decided to the target SHA for the allocation. In this case, the number of cells in truckload 1 is larger, so this untraversed gap was allocated to the SHA corresponding to truckload 1. The flow of computing SHA is finished.
I will talk about results.
This is a histogram of relative errors of SHA. The relative errors ranged from -27.4 to 17.1 %. SHAs involved ±5 % and ±10 % relative errors in 64 % and 85 % of all calculation, respectively. Most cases of beyond ±10 % relative error were observed in the field which consist of more than 2 SHAs. I will show you the example.
Like this. This field consists of 4 SHAs related to each truckload, from 1 to 4. In this case, SHA in truckload 2 was underestimated and in truckload 4 was overestimated. (Animation) This untraversed gap was allocated to the SHA in truckload 4. This untraversed gap should be allocated to the SHA in truckload 2 or 3 theoretically, but this quadrangle contained the cells of all SHAs and out of field. Besides, in this quadrangle, the number of cells in truckload 4 was the largest and this untraversed gap was allocated to inappropriate SHA. Therefore, it is clear that misjudgement in the allocation made bud influence to the accuracy of computing SHAs.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the method to compute SHA. The accuracy of the computing was like this. The cases of ± 5 % relative error was 64 % and ± 10 % relative error was 85 % in all of calculation, 94 cases. On the other hand, some untraversed gaps were allocated to inappropriate SHA. Therefore, we concluded the accuracy of computing SHAs will increase by modifying the algorism of the allocation.
