Highlights A linear array CCD sensor is utilized to obtain the contour signal of the vertical projection of the sugarcane. A method is provided for continuously identifying and locating sugarcane nodes. Examines the impact of scan speed and illumination on the accuracy of identification. The method performs well regarding identification rate, precision, and efficiency. Abstract. In order to achieve continuous and dynamic detection of sugarcane nodes, improve the automatic production efficiency of pre-cut sugarcane seed, and lower the cost of mechanized sugarcane production, a detection method based on linear array charge-coupled device (CCD) photoelectric sensor signal processing was developed. Firstly, the mechanical drive unit was controlled to drive the photoelectric detection system to acquire the signal of the vertical projection of the sugarcane profile. The projection information was then binarized into profile information using the Otsu algorithm. The profile signal was then decomposed using a variable mode decomposition algorithm optimized based on the sparrow search algorithm, and the component reflecting the node content was regarded as the feature signal. Finally, the position of the wave peaks above the judgment threshold in the normalized feature signal was considered the position of the sugarcane nodes. One-way and two-way experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of scan speed and illuminance on identification precision. The results showed that the identification rate, average response time, and average error values were 98.40%, 0.13 s, and 1.36 mm at a scan speed of 75 mm/s and an illuminance of 91.91 lx. Compared to other node identification methods discussed in this article, the proposed method has a high identification rate and accuracy with a high response speed, which can improve the automation efficiency of sugarcane seed production.

All-inorganic two-dimensional Cs2PbI2(SCN)2 perovskite films with improved photoelectric properties were fabricated by adding FACl to precursor solutions. A champion efficiency of 4.7% was achieved in solar cells based on those films.

ObjectivesTo explore factors that influenced the health resource allocation and utilisation before and after COVID-19, and subsequently offer sensible recommendations for advancing the scientific distribution of health resources.DesignA longitudinal survey using 2017–2020 data, which were collected for analysis.SettingThe study was conducted based on data collected from the Health Commission of Guangdong Province’s website.Outcome measuresEight health resource indicators and four health resource utilisation indicators were included in the factor analysis. Four indices were calculated to measure the inequality in health resource allocation and utilisation. We analysed factors for the inequality indices using the recentred influence function index ordinary least squares decomposition method.ResultsThe health resource inequality indices peaked in 2020 (Gini coefficient (Gini): 0.578, Absolute Gini coefficient (AGini): 1.136, Concentration Index (CI): 0.417, Absolute CI (ACI): 0.821), whereas the health resource utilisation inequality indices declined year by year, thus reaching their lowest point in that same year. The majority of inequality indices in the annual change of health resource allocation were at their lowest in 2020 (Gini: −1.672, AGini: 0.046, CI: −0.189, ACI: 0.005), while the use of health resources declined dramatically, showing a negative growth trend. The inequality indices of health resource allocation and utilisation in 2020 were affected by a number of variables, including the COVID-19 level, (pConclusionsGuangdong Province’s health resource allocation and utilisation were still concentrated in economically developed regions from 2017 to 2020. The health resource allocation inequality indices increased, especially under COVID-19, but the health resource utilisation inequality indices decreased. Measures should be taken to adjust the health resource allocation scientifically, which will fulfil the changing needs and the use of resources more efficiently. One effective measure is reasonably increasing the proportion of expenditure on public health.

Practical ability means physical and psychological characteristics that ensure the individual to make use of the knowledge and skills to solve the practical problems smoothly. Only with practical ability, the man can sum up experience from practice, at the same time he can identify problems and make innovation. This article describes the meaning and characteristics of practice and introduces how to build the capacity of the practical ability of students in foreign university. As well as the article put forward how to set up a practical training teaching system which can improve practical ability of college students and a series of training programs to help Chinese universities students to improve the student's practical ability and cultivate student's with a strong practical ability and high-quality talent.

Active learning is one of the major ability of undergraduates, and it's very important for students who want to obtain a success. This article explores what's the theory of active learning, what's the reason of lack of active learning and discusses how to enhance the ability of active learning. According to the reasons, the article gives some guidance and methods for undergraduates, such as how to set a goal and how to develop a reasonable plan, several elements of the self-study process are described as well as. The article comes to a conclusion in the last that the teacher should pay attention to the reform of teaching methods and to help students to develop the concept of self-study and train the ability of self-study.
