Pattern Classification and Recognition of Invertebrate Functional Groups Using Self-Organizing Neural NetworksSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 130 - Trang 415-422 - 2006
WenJun Zhang
Self-organizing neural networks can be used to mimic non-linear systems. The
main objective of this study is to make pattern classification and recognition
on sampling information using two self-organizing neural network models.
Invertebrate functional groups sampled in the irrigated rice field were
classified and recognized using one-dimensional self-organizing map and
self-organizing competitive... hiện toàn bộ
Patterns of cyanobacterial abundance in a major drinking water reservoir: what 3 years of comprehensive monitoring data reveals?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 192 - Trang 1-11 - 2020
Azadeh Golshan, Craig Evans, Phillip Geary, Abigail Morrow, Marcel Maeder, Romà Tauler
The present study provides a detailed analysis of the factors influencing
variation in cyanobacterial communities of a large shallow off-river drinking
water reservoir on the east coast of Australia. Receiving multiple inflows from
two unprotected mixed land-use catchments, the Grahamstown Reservoir is a model
example of a reservoir which is highly vulnerable to adverse water quality
issues, inclu... hiện toàn bộ
Modeling of atmospheric particulate matters via artificial intelligence methodsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 193 - Trang 1-15 - 2021
Pınar Cihan, Huseyin Ozel, Huseyin Kurtulus Ozcan
Nowadays, pollutants continue to be released into the atmosphere in increasing
amounts with each passing day. Some of them may turn into more harmful forms by
accumulating in different layers of the atmosphere at different times and can be
transported to other regions with atmospheric events. Particulate matter (PM) is
one of the most important air pollutants in the atmosphere, and it can be
relea... hiện toàn bộ
Cumulative influences of a small city and former mining activities on the sediment quality of a subtropical estuarine protected areaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 186 - Trang 7035-7046 - 2014
Ana Carolina Feitosa Cruz, Marcela Bergo Davanso, Giuliana Seraphim Araujo, Lucas M. Buruaem, Sandra Tédde Santaella, Rodofley Davino de Morais, Denis M. S. Abessa
This study aimed to evaluate the sediment quality in the estuarine protected
area known as Cananéia-Iguape-Peruíbe (CIP-PA), located on the southeastern
coast of Brazil. The study was designed considering possible negative effects
induced by the city of Cananéia on the sediment quality of surrounding areas.
This evaluation was performed using chemical and ecotoxicological analyses.
Sediments were ... hiện toàn bộ
PM2.5 and PM10 Concentrations from the Qalabotjha Low-Smoke Fuels Macro-Scale Experiment in South AfricaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 69 - Trang 1-15 - 2001
Johann P. Engelbrecht, Leon Swanepoel, Judith C. Chow, John G. Watson, Richard T. Egami
This article presents results from the particulate monitoringcampaign conducted
at Qalabotjha in South Africa during the winter of 1997. Combustion of D-grade
domestic coal and low-smoke fuels were compared in a residential neighborhood to
evaluate the extent of air quality improvement by switchinghousehold cooking and
heating fuels.Comparisons are drawn between the gravimetric results from the tw... hiện toàn bộ
Surface disturbances: Their role in accelerating desertificationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 37 - Trang 39-57 - 1995
Jayne Belnap
Maintaining soil stability and normal water and nutrient cycles in desert
systems is critical to avoiding desertification. These particular ecosystem
processes are threatened by trampling of livestock and people, and by off-road
vehicle use. Soil compaction and disruption of cryptobiotic soil surfaces
(composed of cyanobacteria, lichens, and mosses) can result in decreased water
availability to va... hiện toàn bộ
