An extreme learning machine model for the simulation of monthly mean streamflow water level in eastern Queensland.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
A predictive model for streamflow has practical implications for understanding the drought hydrology, environmental monitoring and agriculture, ecosystems and resource management. In this study, the state-or-art extreme learning machine (ELM) model w...

GIS Fuzzy Expert System for the assessment of ecosystems vulnerability to fire in managing Mediterranean natural protected areas.

Journal of environmental management
A significant threat to the natural and cultural heritage of Mediterranean natural protected areas (NPAs) is related to uncontrolled fires that can cause potential damages related to the loss or a reduction of ecosystems. The assessment and mapping o...

The contribution of co-reference resolution to supervised relation detection between bacteria and biotopes entities.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The acquisition of knowledge about relations between bacteria and their locations (habitats and geographical locations) in short texts about bacteria, as defined in the BioNLP-ST 2013 Bacteria Biotope task, depends on the detection of co-...

Detection and categorization of bacteria habitats using shallow linguistic analysis.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Information regarding bacteria biotopes is important for several research areas including health sciences, microbiology, and food processing and preservation. One of the challenges for scientists in these domains is the huge amount of inf...

Control of a Wheelchair in an Indoor Environment Based on a Brain-Computer Interface and Automated Navigation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The concept of controlling a wheelchair using brain signals is promising. However, the continuous control of a wheelchair based on unstable and noisy electroencephalogram signals is unreliable and generates a significant mental burden for the user. A...

ENVIRONMENTS and EOL: identification of Environment Ontology terms in text and the annotation of the Encyclopedia of Life.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
UNLABELLED: The association of organisms to their environments is a key issue in exploring biodiversity patterns. This knowledge has traditionally been scattered, but textual descriptions of taxa and their habitats are now being consolidated in centr...

Landscape ethnoecological knowledge base and management of ecosystem services in a Székely-Hungarian pre-capitalistic village system (Transylvania, Romania).

Journal of ethnobiology and ethnomedicine
BACKGROUND: Previous studies showed an in-depth ecological understanding by traditional people of managing natural resources. We studied the landscape ethnoecological knowledge (LEEK) of Székelys on the basis of 16-19(th) century village laws. We ana...

Harnessing chemical communication in plant-microbiome and intra-microbiome interactions.

Journal of Zhejiang University. Science. B
Chemical communication in plant-microbiome and intra-microbiome interactions weaves a complex network, critically shaping ecosystem stability and agricultural productivity. This non-contact interaction is driven by small-molecule signals that orchest...

Automated Behavioral Profiling Using Neural Networks Reveals Differences in Stress-Like Behavior Between Cave and Surface-Dwelling Astyanax mexicanus.

Journal of experimental zoology. Part B, Molecular and developmental evolution
Behavioral stress responses allow animals to quickly adapt to local environments and are critical for survival. Stress responses provide an ideal model for investigating the evolution of complex behaviors due to their conservation across species, cri...

Distinguishing dominant drivers on long-term vegetation dynamics across China considering time-lag and accumulation effects using machine learning techniques.

Journal of environmental management
Accurate attribution of vegetation dynamics is essential to ensure the conservation, restoration and sustainability of terrestrial ecosystems. However, due to the time-lag and accumulation effects of vegetation responding climate change and anthropog...
