Plasticulture studies were continued on bell pepper. Total marketable fruit yields of 4.85, 3.94 and 3.09 tons per acre were obtained from plants grown on silver, white, and black plastic mulches, respectively. Number of fruits produced per plant followed the same trend. Individual fruit weights of 85-117g were not significantly different among treatments. Fruit set as indicated by number of fr...

In this paper, we formulate a new multi-graph learning task with only positive and unlabeled bags, where labels are only available for bags but not for individual graphs inside the bag. This problem setting raises significant challenges because bag-of-graph setting does not have features to directly represent graph data, and no negative bags exits for deriving discriminative classification mode...

This research focuses on the development of a telerobotic system that employs several stateaction policies to carry out a task using on-line learning with human operator (HO) intervention through a virtual reality (VR) interface. The case-study task is to empty the contents of an unknown bag for subsequent scrutiny. A system state is defined as a condition that exists in the system for a signif...
