Evaluation of photosynthetic quantum yield is important for analyzing the phenotype of plants. Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF) has been widely used to estimate plant photosynthesis and its regulatory mechanisms. The ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence, F v / F m , obtained from a ChlF induction curve, is commonly used to reflect the maximum photochemical quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII), but it is measured after a sample is dark-adapted for a long time, which limits its practical use. In this research, a least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM) model was developed to explore whether F v / F m can be determined from ChlF induction curves measured without dark adaptation. A total of 7,231 samples of 8 different experiments, under diverse conditions, were used to train the LSSVM model. Model evaluation with different samples showed excellent performance in determining F v / F m from ChlF signals without dark adaptation. Computation time for each test sample was less than 4 ms. Further, the prediction performance of test dataset was found to be very desirable: a high correlation coefficient (0.762 to 0.974); a low root mean squared error (0.005 to 0.021); and a residual prediction deviation of 1.254 to 4.933. These results clearly demonstrate that F v / F m , the widely used ChlF induction feature, can be determined from measurements without dark adaptation of samples. This will not only save experiment time but also make F v / F m useful in real-time and field applications. This work provides a high-throughput method to determine the important photosynthetic feature through ChlF for phenotyping plants.more » « less

Constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) and data stream models are two powerful abstractions to capture a wide variety of problems arising in different domains of computer science. Developments in the two communities have mostly occurred independently and with little interaction between them. In this work, we seek to investigate whether bridging the seeming communication gap between the two communities may pave the way to richer fundamental insights. To this end, we focus on two foundational problems: model counting for CSP’s and computation of zeroth frequency moments (F0) for data streams. Our investigations lead us to observe a striking similarity in the core techniques employed in the algorithmic frameworks that have evolved separately for model counting andF0computation. We design a recipe for translating algorithms developed forF0estimation to model counting, resulting in new algorithms for model counting. We also provide a recipe for transforming sampling algorithm over streams to constraint sampling algorithms. We then observe that algorithms in the context of distributed streaming can be transformed into distributed algorithms for model counting. We next turn our attention to viewing streaming from the lens of counting and show that framingF0estimation as a special case of #DNF counting allows us to obtain a general recipe for a rich class of streaming problems, which had been subjected to case-specific analysis in prior works. In particular, our view yields an algorithm for multidimensional range efficientF0estimation with a simpler analysis.more » « less

Abstract Auroral roar originates in Earth's ionosphere at altitudes of several hundred kilometers where the upper hybrid frequency matches a harmonic of the electron gyrofrequency. These radio emissions are important for remote sensing of ionospheric plasma conditions and processes, and their physics is similar to that of astrophysical radio emissions. In this study, direction finding was used to establish the distribution of direction of arrival (DOA) angles for the third harmonic emissions and to compare the direction angles of second harmonic and events when they occur simultaneously. Data were collected for 42 events from 9 May 2022 to 20 May 2023 by a three antenna array in Toolik Lake, AK (68.6°N, 149.6°W, 68.5° magnetic latitude) with a DOA distribution centered overhead. 30% of the events coming from the south, for which azimuth deviations due to refraction are less significant, were on the same azimuth within 10°, the uncertainty of the measurement. This is a lower bound on the fraction of simultaneous harmonic and emissions that come from the same auroral arc. All events coming from the south that had a and azimuth angle of arrival within 10° had a higher elevation than elevation within experimental uncertainty, supporting the mechanism by which these emissions are excited at the “double resonance” points on the bottomside of the ionosphere.more » « less
