RNN-Based Demand Awareness in Smart Library Using CRFID

To provide more intelligence service in the smart library, we need to better perceive the reader’s preferences. In addition to perceiving online records based on readers’ search history and borrowing records, advanced information technologies give us more chance to perceive the behavior of readers in the actual reading process and further discover the need for reading. In this paper, we use CRFID and RNN deep learning network to recognize book motions in the reading process, so as to judge readers’ need degree for the book, which can provide a basis for library book purchases and readers personalized service. In order to improve the recognition accuracy, we use the RSS as well as acceleration magnitude gathered from CRFID as the input data for RNN, and design a new encoding scheme. We trained and tested the deep learning network using real-world data, recorded during actual reading in our lab environment which mimics a typical reading room, from the experimental results, we conclude that our approach is feasible to recognize different reading phase to perceiving the needs of the readers.

Aerenchyma Formed Under Phosphorus Deficiency Contributes to the Reduced Root Hydraulic Conductivity in Maize Roots

Root hydraulic conductivity has been shown to decrease under phosphorus （P） deficiency. This study Investigated how the formation of aerenchyma is related to this change. Root anatomy, as well as root hydraulic conductivity was studied In maize （Zea mays L.） roots under different phosphorus nutrition conditions. Plant roots under P stress showed enhanced degradation of cortical cells and the aerenchyma formation was associated with their reduced root hydraulic conductivity, supporting our hypothesis that air spaces that form in the cortex of phosphorusstressed roots Impede the radial transport of water in a root cylinder. Further evidence came from the variation In aerenchyma formation due to genotypic differences. Five maize inbred lines with different porosity in their root cortex showed a significant negative correlation with their root hydraulic conductivity. Shoot relative water content was also found lower In P-deficient maize plants than that in P-sufficient ones when such treatment was prolonged enough, suggesting a limitation of water transport due to lowered root hydraulic conductivity of P-deficient plants.
