In recent years, with the rapid development of computer vision technology and the popularization of intelligent hardware, as well as people’s increasing demand for intelligent products for human-computer interaction, visual grounding technology can help machines and humans identify and locate objects, thereby promoting human-computer interaction and intelligent manufacturing. At the same time, human-computer interaction is constantly evolving and improving, becoming increasingly intelligent, humane, and efficient. This paper proposes a new VG model and designs a language verification module that uses language information as the main information to increase the model’s interactivity. Additionally, we propose the combination of visual grounding and human-computer interaction, aiming to explore the research status and development trends of visual grounding and human-computer interaction technology, as well as their application in practical scenarios and optimization directions, to provide references and guidance for relevant researchers and promote the development and application of visual grounding and human-computer interaction technology.

Internet-led labour market has become so competitive forcing many organisations from different sectors to embrace e-recruitment. However, realising the value of the e-recruitment from a Requirements Engineering (RE) analysis perspective is challenging. This research is motivated by the results of a failed e-recruitment project conducted in military domain which is used as a case study in this research. After reviewing the various challenges faced in that project through a number of related research domains, this research focuses on two major problems which are the (1) difficulty of scoping, representing, and systematically transforming recruitment problem knowledge towards e-recruitment solution specification; and (2) the difficulty of documenting e-recruitment best practices for reuse purposes in an enterprise recruitment environment. In this paper, a Problem-Oriented Conceptual Model (POCM) with a complementary Ontology for Recruitment Problem Definition (Onto-RPD) is proposed to contextualise the various recruitment problem viewpoints from an enterprise perspective and to elaborate those problem viewpoints towards a comprehensive recruitment problem definition. The POCM and Onto-RPD are developed incrementally using action-research conducted on three real case studies: (1) Secureland Army Enlistment, (2) British Army Regular Enlistment, and (3) UK Undergraduate Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). They are later evaluated in a focus group study against a set of criteria. The study showed that the POCM and Onto-RPD provide a strong foundation for representing and understanding the e-recruitment problems from different perspectives.

The detrital compositions in sandstone are important recorders of sedimentary provenance and transport, both of which have significant implications for the lithology, age and tectonic evolution of provenance. Through detailed identification and analysis, a high content of volcanogenic compositions (27.6%) was discovered in Shanxi formation of Daniudi Gas Field, Ordos Basin, which is much higher than that of the previous study. The volcanogenic compositions include volcanogenic quartz, lava fragments (dominated by various kinds of rhyolite fragments), tuff fragments, and tuffaceous matrix. In addition, at least 2 volcanic ash layers were discovered. Although the metamorphic rocks of the Precambrian succession in the ancient land of Yin Mountain are usually considered the primary source of the Shanxi formation, it is most likely that the volcanogenic compositions were derived from intermediate-acidic volcanic materials that accumulated in the Daqingshan area during the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian. Those volcanogenic compositions are mainly transported by flowing water rather than by air from provenance to basin. And the accumulation of volcanic materials in the Daqingshan area was controlled by volcanic eruptions occurring solely in this area, rather than by the Inner Mongolia Orogenic Belt. Those volcanic eruptions related to the southward subduction of the Paleo-Asian Ocean Plate beneath the northern margin of the North China Plate in Late Carboniferous to Early Permian. The active continental margin related to the subduction of the Paleo-Asian Ocean Plate lasted until at least the Early Permian, and the closure of the Paleo-Asian Ocean must have occurred later than the Early Permian.

Rice blast and brown planthopper (BPH) are two of the most destructive diseases and pests in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in China. The development of multi-resistant varieties is widely recognized as the most efficient and environmentally friendly approach to controlling crop diseases and pests. Functional molecular markers (FMMs) have been developed from functional variants in the genic region associated with trait variation, greatly enhancing the efficiency of identifying and pyramiding valuable genes in crop breeding. In this study, two FMMs and a multiplex PCR amplification system were developed for two major broad-spectrum BPH resistance genes, Bph6 and Bph9. By assistance of FMMs in multi-resistant rice restorer line development pipeline, two lines (Huahui7713 and Huahui3006) with blast and BPH resistance were developed by pyramiding three resistance genes Pigm, Bph6 and Bph9. Huahui7713 and Huahui3006 as male lines, two new hybrid rice varieties (WeiLiangYou7713 and Xuanliangyou3006) were certificated and commercial released in China. WeiLiangYou7713 and Xuanliangyou3006 showed improved blast and BPH resistance, and no penalty on yield and grain-quality. Annual promotion area of WeiLiangYou7713 has exceeded 53.3 thousand hectares, indicating its widespread adoption and success in the market. Huahui7713 and Huahui3006 could have great potential for utilization in blast and BPH resistance rice breeding.
