Smart agricultural includes an efficient, clean and safe food supply chain system that can tackle these issues more smartly than that of existing system. Agricultural food supply chain denotes the mechanism explaining how the farm food comes to our tables. The research presents a smart model for the transformation of traditional food supply chain considering Blockchain Technology. The model promises to give all stakeholders participating in the agricultural food supply chain equal opportunities even if they are not familiar to each other but without the help of trustworthy third party service provider. We validate proposed blockchain based smart model with our own scheme without using blockchain.","PeriodicalId":163493,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on UK-China Emerging Technologies (UCET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130629281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Afterwards, three diodes were inserted between the stubs and triangular radiator to achieve multi-mode behaviour.

Firstly, we construct a multi-frame optimization model of RGPO jamming strategy by choosing the success rate of pull-off as the objective function. Then, to improve the jamming performance, a particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm based on Monte Carlo prediction fitness function(MC-PSO) is proposed.

Recently, we notice that many researchers have applied machine learning (ML) algorithms to indoor positioning by using IMU sensor data, which sufficiently proves that the 6-dim data collected by IMU sensor contain a lot of information. In this paper, we present a ML driven method to make a regression between IMU sensor data and 2-D coordinates. To build a regression model with better generalization and lower computational complexity, this paper carries out feature extraction in the time-and time-frequency domain. The simulation run on Intel core i5-4200h shows that the method is able to suppress the drift of the inertial navigation system after a long-time travel. In comparison of GPS+IMU using extended Kalman filtering (EKF), the positioning RMS of our method on circular trajectories with a radius of 7 meters and 10.5 meters is reduced by at most 70.1% and 86.1%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":163493,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on UK-China Emerging Technologies (UCET)","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124368309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
