The quadratic rotated orthogonal combination test was used to quantify the mathematical relationships of Shajiang black soil pressure subsidence modeling with the amount of surface straw cover (SSC) and mass mixing ratio of soil to straw (MSS). Then, using the weighted least squares method, the pressure subsidence parameters (cohesive deformation modulus, friction deformation modulus, and subsidence index) were obtained, and the Bekker model was modified to construct a pressure subsidence model for the straw-containing soil.

The implementation details are as follows: Firstly, the data collected by the six-axis inertial sensor is preprocessed using a sliding window to obtain time series data, and perform Fourier transform on it to obtain the frequency domain sequence. Then, the transformer is used to unify the time domain and frequency domain features respectively. A Mutual Promotion Unit (MPU) is established based on cross self-attention and a feedforward neural network (FFN). By integrating with a Global multimodal fusion (G) module, MPU establishes a global–local interactive learning framework to extract features from temporal and frequency domains, resulting in temporal-frequency interaction features. Finally, the introduction of supervised contrastive loss function supervises the training process, enhancing the accuracy of fish school feeding intensity classification.

In the absence of dedicated swine behavior monitoring systems and the challenges of implementing cloud-based automated monitoring in large-scale farming, this study proposes a method utilizing inspection robots to detect behaviors of lactating sows and piglets. The inspection robot initially serves as a data acquisition and storage tool, collecting behavioral data such as sows postures (standing, sitting, lateral recumbency, and sternal recumbency) and activities of piglet groups (resting, suckling, and active behavior) within confined pens. The YOLOv8 series algorithms are then employed to identify static postures of sows, while the Temporal Shift Module (TSM) is used to recognize dynamic behaviors within piglet groups. These models are fine-tuned and deployed on the Jetson Nano edge computing platform. Experimental results show that YOLOv8n accurately identifies sow postures with a mean Average Precision (mAP) @0.5 of 97.08% and a frame rate of 36.4 FPS at an image resolution of 480 × 288, following TensorRT acceleration.

Replacing ResNet50 with MobileNetv2 slightly reduces the Top-1 accuracy to 90.81%; however, there is a significant improvement in inference speed on Jetson Nano for a single video clip with a processing duration of 542.51 ms, representing more than a 20-fold enhancement compared to TSM_ResNet50.

Our protocol provides an inherent level of fault-tolerance by exploring the linear topology. In our experiments, a 100% message delivery ratio was achieved. Additionally, the maximum round-trip delay was less than 200 s. The network satisfies the application message transmission requirement of one message per hour per node by scheduling communication over the six sensor lines needed to cover the whole experiment area in a round-robin fashion.
