Intercropping is a promising strategy towards a more sustainable agriculture. To turn research outcomes into practice, integration of results across countries and between research and on-farm trials is necessary. Inadequacy of current data reporting tools (e.g. from bio...

Mixed cultivation of two or more crop species on the same piece of land at a given time may enhance crop yield stability. We assessed yield stability by first calculating the expected coefficients of variance (CV%) for cereal-legume mixtures grown across contrasting env...

In this paper we present a framework for modeling cable-driven soft robots fabricated from silicone rubber - an incompressible material. Our forward simulation model can use either the standard or the mixed formulation of the finite element method (FEM). The latter prev...

Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd and the University of Edinburgh are developing an operational methodology for determining the probability of slope failure (as 'factor of safety') from rain events by developing a remotely sensed, rainfall driven landslide model approach to slope ...

Poster presented during the poster session of the 2nd annual meeting of the European project SolACE about root architecture phenotypes in bread and durum wheat.

In this work, we present a method to predict an entire `action tube' (a set of temporally linked bounding boxes) in a trimmed video just by observing a smaller subset of it. Predicting where an action is going to take place in the near future is essential to many comput...

Similarity distance measure between two trajectories is an essential tool to understand patterns in motion, for example, in Human-Robot Interaction or Imitation Learning. The problem has been faced in many fields, from Signal Processing, Probabilistic Theory field, Topo...

As part of its ongoing move to simplify and modernise the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the European Commission is adopting new rules that will for the first time expressly allow a range of modern technologies to be used when carrying out checks for area-...

Conventional Key Management Protocols establish secure communication channels by using asymmetric cryptography based on “fixed“ public keys. In the Internet of Things context, it is preferable to have a good level of freshness of the cryptographic material. ...
