Map overlay analysis is essential for geospatial analytics. Large scale spatial data pressing poses challenges for geospatial map overlay analytics. In this study, we propose an efficient parallel algorithm for polygons overlay analysis, including active-slave spatial index decomposition for intersection, multi-strategy Hilbert ordering decomposition, and parallel spatial union algorithm. Multi-strategy based spatial data decomposition mechanism is implemented, including parallel spatial data index, the Hilbert space-filling curve sort, and decomposition. The results of the experiments showed that the parallel algorithm for polygons overlay analysis achieves high efficiency.

Buffer and overlay analysis are fundamental operations which are widely used in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for resource allocation, land planning, and other relevant fields. Real-time buffer and overlay analysis for large-scale spatial data remains a challenging problem because the computational scales of conventional data-oriented methods expand rapidly with data volumes. In this paper, we present HiBO, a visualization-oriented buffer-overlay analysis model which is less sensitive to data volumes. In HiBO, the core task is to determine the value of pixels for display. Therefore, we introduce an efficient spatial-index-based buffer generation method and an effective set-transformation-based overlay optimization method. Moreover, we propose a fully optimized hybrid-parallel processing architecture to ensure the real-time capability of HiBO. Experiments on real-world datasets show that our approach is capable of handling ten-million-scale spatial data in real time. An online demonstration of HiBO is provided (http://www.higis.org.cn: 8080/hibo).

Organizations have come to realize that storing their databases in the Cloud rather than in-house data centers is cheaper and more flexible. However, companies are still concerned about the privacy and the security of their data. Encrypting the whole database before uploading it to the Cloud solves the security issue. But querying the database requires downloading and decrypting the entire dataset, which is impractical. This paper proposes a new scheme for protecting the privacy and integrity of spatial data stored in the Cloud while being able to execute range queries efficiently. Data objects are encrypted and sorted using Z-order space-filling curve. An index is built on top of the encrypted data to be utilized by the Service Provider to identify and retrieve a superset of data objects that contains the answers to the query. Many simulation experiments have been carried out to measure the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of the redundancy in data retrieved. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the most recent scheme by Kim et al. in terms of data redundancy.

The strategy of hierarchical storage can be adjusted utilizing the access rule of the spatial data, which will significantly improve system performance of spatial data services. The access and distribution rule of the spatial data based on Hotmap and Zipf-like cannot reflect its global information. A dynamic statistics algorithm for the distribution rule of the spatial data based on P2P is proposed in this paper. The service capabilities of the service nodes are calculated in our algorithm. The node agents with good service capabilities are chosen preferentially in the group. At the same time, the size of group is controlled. The experimental results show that the performance of our algorithm can be improved by about 28% compared with the algorithm of random nodes. The algorithm can meet the need of dynamic statistics in large scale distribution environment with high efficiency.

The need to extract, transform, and exploit enormous volumes of spatiotemporal data has exploded with the rise of social media, advanced military sensors, wearables, automotive tracking, etc. However, current methods of spatiotemporal encoding and exploitation simultaneously limit the use of that information and increase computing complexity. Current spatiotemporal encoding methods from Niemeyer and Usher rely on a Z-order space filling curve, a relative of Peano’s 1890 space filling curve, for spatial hashing and interleaving temporal hashes to generate a spatiotemporal encoding. However, there exist other space-filling curves, and that provide different manifold coverings that could promote better hashing techniques for spatial data and have the potential to map spatiotemporal data without interleaving. The concatenation of Niemeyer’s and Usher’s techniques provide a highly efficient space-time index. However, other methods have advantages and disadvantages regarding computational cost, efficiency, and utility. This paper explores the several methods using a range of sizes of data sets from 1K to 10M observations and provides a comparison of the methods.

Greenhouse gas emissions must be cut to limit global warming to 1.5-2C above preindustrial levels. Yet the rate of decarbonisation is currently too low to achieve this. Policy-relevant scenarios therefore rely on the permanent removal of CO<sub>2</sub> from the atmosphere. However, none of the envisaged technologies has demonstrated scalability to the decarbonization targets for the year 2050. In this analysis, we show that artificial photosynthesis for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction may deliver an efficient large-scale carbon sink. This technology is mainly developed towards solar fuels and its potential for negative emissions has been largely overlooked. With high efficiency and low sensitivity to high temperature and illumination conditions, it could, if developed towards a mature technology, present a viable approach to fill the gap in the negative emissions budget.<br>

Data were obtained on the basis of the results of research carried out on the territory of the educational and experimental farm of the Timiryazev State Agrarian University, in Moscow during 2018-2019. As a result of the surveys, the most dangerous diseases and pests of pome crops on the territory of this farm were established. The most resistant apple and pear varieties to major diseases have been identified. Peculiarities of development of alternariosis on pear are described, the harmfulness of the disease on pear and apple seedlings is noted. A possible role in the transfer of alternariosis infection from garden-protective plantations and weed vegetation to fruit trees was noted. A possible role has been established in the transport of septoriosis, powdery dew infection from dicotyledonous weeds plants. The peculiarities of the spread of infection under the influence of wind direction are noted. The results and peculiarities of the application of various methods of scaring birds in the orchard are presented. As a result of route surveys the most harmful weed plants have been identified. The possibility of using herbicides of different mechanism of action in fruit gardens for weed control has been studied. High efficiency and relative safety of application of herbicides of contact action in nursery fields, operational orchards and for control of piglets on fruit trees are shown. Recommendations are given for the use of soil and systemic herbicides of soil in seedlings beds, the first and second fields of the nursery, as well as in the process of production of large-scale planting material and operational orchards of fruit crops. The safety of the herbicides in question is established when used in accordance with the recommended methods of use.
