A new graph-based approach for biometric fusion at hybrid rank-score levelSotiris Mitracos
For more information, contact me at akismitracos [ a t ] gmail . com
In this paper we define a new approach to biometric fusion, characterized by the use of graph structure to represent identities, starting from a hybrid rank-score fusion level.
We define the proposed framework, with the description of the mapping identity-list-graph, with the use of the cohort theory, and then we explain the steps to perform the Graph Similarity Score and the Graph Based Fusion and their computational complexity.
Subsequently, we apply the proposed method to two different dataset, in order to evaluate its accuracy and to compare the obtained results against the employment of the other fusion schemes previously illustrated, and then we analyze the results themselves, even by means of a Case Study.
Finally we make reflections about what has been achieved and which could be the possible future works exploiting our framework.

Determination of Arid and Temperature Resistant Sweet Corn (Zea mays sacchara...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
The objective of the present study is to identify aridity and temperature resistant sweet corn variety candidates and to provide resource material for development of new hybrid varieties. The research was designed as three-peat random blocks experimental design in Siirt and Sakarya locations in 2014, and irrigation application was conducted with drip irrigation method. Mean plant water consumption in control (I100) was 808 mm and 633 mm in Siirt and Sakarya, and the mean irrigation water amount was 684 mm and 138 mm, respectively. The statistical significances of differences among soil moisture content, chlorophyll-meter value, crop water stress index, fresh corncob, and grain yield were investigated. The arid and temperature resistant sweet corn line was determined according to soil moisture content, chlorophyll-meter value, and crop water stress index. The most arid and temperature resistant corn line, variety line #2, had the lowest moisture content and crop water stress index value but the highest chlorophyll-meter value. We found that to determine the arid and temperature resistant corn lines, soil moisture content values can also be used together with chlorophyll-meter values and crop water stress index.

Abstract— This study aimed to assess some priming methods and durations under ranging field capacities of water in Kirinyaga County in Kenya in 2012/2013 growing seasons. A two season field experiment was conducted at Mwea Irrigation Agricultural Development Centre (MIAD) farm to evaluate chickpea advanced lines of ICCV 97105 for growth and growth rates under no priming, hydro priming and halo prime at three levels of i.e. 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 % NaCl2 concentration with three priming durations (8, 10 and 12 hours) and varying initial soil moisture levels 100% field capacity (FC), 75 % FC, 50 % FC and 25 % FC). The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications. Pre sowing irrigation, combined priming method and priming duration allocated in the main, and sub-plots, respectively. The control treatment was the pre-sowing irrigation at field capacity (FC). The results revealed the maximum/optimum crop growth rate (CGR) of desi chickpea was achieved with 100% FC during wet season I (October, 2012-January, 2013) which was 181.0kg DM/ha/day, while it was 114 kg DM/ha/day with 90-96% FC during the drier season II (July -Oct 2013). Desi chickpea grows slowly under low seasonal rainfall (311.2 mm) than higher seasonal rainfall (565.1 mm). Therefore, it is necessary to apply higher pre sowing irrigation of up to 100% FC in dry areas. Relating crop growth rate CGR during 75-90 days after sowing (DAS) phase period with DM and CGR to grain yield at harvest 120 DAS revealed that it is possible to predict DM and grain yield with 80.5 and 77.5% confidence by use of linear production functions:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

3. INTRODUCTION
Effects of water regime on corn and wheat
production in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Most limiting factor in Saudi Arabia is water
deficit
4. METHODS AND MATERIALS
Experiments were taken over four years from
1985 to 1988
Each experiment consisted of three different
regimes - wet, medium and dry
5. METHODS AND MATERIALS
The soil of the field content
Early planting time was chosen to avoid the high
temperature
6. METHODS AND MATERIALS
Wet regime, 1190 mm of water were added in 17
irrigations in the first season and 840 mm in 12
irrigations in the second season
Medium regime, 840 and 560 mm of water were
given for first and second seasons
Dry regime, 770 and 420 mm of water
7. RESULTS OF CORN
The results of corn experiment showed that the
yield of corn was not significantly affected by the
water regime treatments
Causes might be:
theamount of water applied
water quality.
8. RESULTS OF WHEAT
The results of wheat showed that:
the wet regime gave significantly taller plants and
heavier seeds
significantly greater seed and biological yields than
meedium and dry regimes.
9. CONCLUSION
It can be concluded that the corn may not tolerate
irrigation deficit and saline water quality
Wheat recorded a high yield of some water stress
