On Normalization of Comprehensive Evaluation System with Complex Uncertain Information

This paper systematically proposes basic requirements on normalization of comprehensive evaluation system with complex uncertain information due to human participation. Four basic academic ideas are as follows: 1) It is necessary to normalize conditions of information acquisition. 2) The effectiveness of comprehensive evaluation depends on the correctness of information acquisition. 3) Any evaluation results can be transformed into linguistic satisfactory degrees. 4) Linguistic values can include a great deal of information. This paper mainly deals with how to select objects to be evaluated, evaluators (panelists) and the methods of information processing, how to construct criteria of evaluation, how to normalize terms of evaluation, the results of evaluation, and the procedure of evaluation.

A New Comprehensive Evaluation System for Thermo-Tolerance in Tomato at Different Growth Stage

With global warming, heat stress is becoming a more frequent event and a major limiting factor for crop production. The evaluation of thermo-tolerance is essential for the cultivators to obtain the heat resistant genotypes and breeders to improve the thermo-tolerance of plants. Therefore, it is very important to perfect the existing evaluation system for thermo-tolerance. In this study, 30 tomato genotypes were treated with heat stress at germination, seedling and flowering stages. Each index was different and diverse in different tomato genotypes by doing variability analysis, difference analysis and Student＇s t test. Before principal component analysis （PCA）, a positive treatment for the negative and moderation indexes was performed. After correlation analysis, the authors performed PCA （including dimensionality reduction （DR）, no dimensionality reduction （NDR） and optimal index （OI））, combining with subordinate function （SF）, weight and cluster analysis. No matter at germination or seedling stage, the members of the groups were basically identical for DR, NDR and OI. Then 10 tomato genotypes were chosen from 30 randomly for verification. Compared all the evaluation systems, OI was the simplest and also could get as credible results as other methods. Therefore, in this study, OI could be adopted and improve the efficiency during the evaluation. At germination stage, germination power （GP） can accurately evaluate the thermo-tolerance, and at seedling stage, it was fresh weight （FW）, internode length （IL） and dry matter percentage of seedling （DMP）. Finally, all the indexes in the three stages were applied correlation analysis. Seedling stage showed significant positive correlation with flowering stage. In conclusion, this work improves the current system and set up a new comprehensive evaluation method named OI, which also improves the efficiency, guarantees reliability in screening thermo-tolerance of tomato for cultivators and expedites the process of breeding for resistance.

Spectral purification improves monitoring accuracy of the comprehensive growth evaluation index for film-mulched winter wheat

In order to further improve the utility of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)remote-sensing for quickly and accurately monitoring the growth of winter wheat under film mulching, this study examined the treatments of ridge mulching,ridge–furrow full mulching, and flat cropping full mulching in winter wheat.Based on the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) method, four agronomic parameters (leaf area index, above-ground biomass, plant height, and leaf chlorophyll content) were used to calculate the comprehensive growth evaluation index (CGEI) of the winter wheat, and 14 visible and near-infrared spectral indices were calculated using spectral purification technology to process the remote-sensing image data of winter wheat obtained by multispectral UAV.Four machine learning algorithms, partial least squares, support vector machines, random forests, and artificial neural network networks(ANN), were used to build the winter wheat growth monitoring model under film mulching, and accuracy evaluation and mapping of the spatial and temporal distribution of winter wheat growth status were carried out.The results showed that the CGEI of winter wheat under film mulching constructed using the FCE method could objectively and comprehensively evaluate the crop growth status.The accuracy of remote-sensing inversion of the CGEI based on the ANN model was higher than for the individual agronomic parameters, with a coefficient of determination of 0.75,a root mean square error of 8.40, and a mean absolute value error of 6.53.Spectral purification could eliminate the interference of background effects caused by mulching and soil, effectively improving the accuracy of the remotesensing inversion of winter wheat under film mulching, with the best inversion effect achieved on the ridge–furrow full mulching area after spectral purification.The results of this study provide a theoretical reference for the use of UAV remote-sensing to monitor the growth status of winter wheat with film mulching.

Evaluation of water resources conserved by forests in the Hani rice terraces system of Honghe County,Yunnan,China：an application of the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model

The Hani Rice Terraces System, based on gravity-flow irrigation, is one of the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems(GIAHS) pilot sites selected by FAO in 2010. The water resource plays an important role in the sustainable development of this system. The value of water conserved by the forest is influenced by natural, economic and social factors. In this paper, the water quality, per capita water resources, per capita GDP and population density are chosen as indices to construct an index system for a comprehensive evaluation of water resources value. The weights of these indices are 0.443, 0.31, 0.141 and 0.106 respectively, which are determined by the analytic hierarchy process(AHP) method. The water resources value has been assessed by the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model. The results show that the water resources value in the Hani Rice Terraces System is 4.25 RMB/m^3. Evaluating the value of water resources in the Hani Rice Terraces System can provide a reference for ecological compensation, for raising public awareness of the importance of protecting the system, and ultimately achieving its sustainable development.
