An Improved Forest Structure Data Set for Europe

Today, European forests face many challenges but also offer opportunities, such as climate change mitigation, provision of renewable resources, energy and other ecosystem services. Large-scale analyses to assess these opportunities are hindered by the lack of a consistent, spatial and accessible forest structure data. This study presents a freely available pan-European forest structure data set. Building on our previous work, we used data from six additional countries and consider now ten key forest stand variables. Harmonized inventory data from 16 European countries were used in combination with remote sensing data and a gap-filling algorithm to produce this consistent and comparable forest structure data set across European forests. We showed how land cover data can be used to scale inventory data to a higher resolution which in turn ensures a consistent data structure across sub-regional, country and European forest assessments. Cross validation and comparison with published country statistics of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) indicate that the chosen methodology is able to produce robust and accurate forest structure data across Europe, even for areas where no inventory data were available.

Acoustic and Kinematic Correlates of Heterosyllabicity in Different Phonological Contexts

We investigate the temporal and kinematic properties of consonant gemination and heterosyllabic clusters as opposed to singletons and tautosyllabic clusters in Italian. The data show that the singleton versus geminate contrast is conveyed by specific kinematic properties in addition to systematic durational differences in both the consonantal and vocalic intervals; by contrast, tautosyllabic and heterosyllabic clusters differ significantly for the duration of the consonantal interval but do not vary systematically with respect to the vocalic interval and cannot be consistently differentiated at the kinematic level. We conclude that systematic variations in acoustic vowel duration and the kinematics of tongue tip gestures represent the phonetic correlates of the segmental phonological contrast between short and long consonants, rather than of syllable structure. Data are only partly consistent with the predictions of both moraic and gesture-based models of the syllable about the effects of syllable structure on speech production dynamics and call for a more gradient view of syllabification.

On the Hierarchical Bernoulli Mixture Model Using Bayesian Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

The model developed considers the uniqueness of a data-driven binary response (indicated by 0 and 1) identified as having a Bernoulli distribution with finite mixture components. In social science applications, Bernoulli’s constructs a hierarchical structure data. This study introduces the Hierarchical Bernoulli mixture model (Hibermimo), a new analytical model that combines the Bernoulli mixture with hierarchical structure data. The proposed approach uses a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm with a No-U-Turn Sampler (HMC/NUTS). The study has performed a compatible syntax program computation utilizing the HMC/NUTS to analyze the Bayesian Bernoulli mixture aggregate regression model (BBMARM) and Hibermimo. In the model estimation, Hibermimo yielded a result of ~90% compliance with the modeling of each district and a small Widely Applicable Information Criteria (WAIC) value.

Near-Field Propagation Analysis for Traveling-Wave Antennas

The evolution of ElectroMagnetic (EM) models and modern EM solvers permit resolving a variety of real-life EM propagation and radiation problems, in which antenna design and optimization account a large proportion. However, understanding of EM propagation processes on antenna structures and design achievements can be limited when only total antenna responses are considered and there is lacking of near-field analysis. This chapter provides a better insight into the EM propagation processes on traveling-wave antennas. A near-field propagation analysis method is proposed based on simulated near-field data with corresponding meshed structure data. This overcomes the insufficiencies and obstacles for observation of the conventional analysis methods. The EM-solver-run optimization and accurate sampling for field and structure data are the first important steps for the analysis. For general propagation problems such as paths recognition and characterization of the propagation, the EM signal models, impulse response analysis and super-resolution algorithms for Time of Arrival (ToA) estimation are studied and proposed. A particular space/time/frequency analysis is implemented for traveling-wave Vivaldi antennas, in which the phenomenon of EM energy transfer out of the conducting elements into the free space and higher-order scattering processes are revealed. The refined adjustment and optimization for the antennas are also proposed.

Data mining technologies in a distributed medical information system

Proposed a method for solving the problem of identifying hidden relationships in hard-to-structure data that have an implicit character is considered using information mining. Proposed decision trees, the effectiveness of which is illustrated by a specific example. The use of OLAP analysis systems on data presented using in the form of a real or virtual hypercube’s information is an effective tool for the effectiveness of the management for medical monitoring

IMPLEMENTASI SISTEM INFORMASI DESA DAN KAWASAN (SIDeKa) DALAM PERCEPATAN KEMANDIRIAN DESA DI DESA PAMOLOKAN KABUPATEN SUMENEP

The birth of Village Law No. 6 of 2014 gives authority to the village to take care andmanage the affairs of its own government. Villages are required to develop theirterritory in accordance with the conditions and keep up with the times, one of which isthe development of information technology. To encourage the village government inutilizing technology to provide information to its citizens, a system developed byBP2DK is needed. This program is in the form of a technology platform based on theinternet called SIDeKa. One of the villages that participated in implementing SIDeKain Sumenep Regency is Pamolokan village, where Pamolokan is a village that took theinitiative to make the village an informative village. The regulations that overshadowSIDeKa in Pamolokan village are contained in Perdes No. 4 of 2017 concerningRPJMDes. This research aims to determine the implementation of Village andRegional Information System (SIDeKa) in accelerating village independence inPamolokan village, Sumenep Regency. The method used in this study is descriptivequalitative. The focus of this research is communication, resources, disposition,bureaucratic structure. Data and research results are obtained from observations,interviews with several informants and documentation. Pamolokan village is a villagethat has implemented technology named SIDeKa in its implementation developed in theform of a village website. But most people do not understand because of the lack ofdeep socialization to the community about the benefits of village websites.Keywords : Village, Information Technology, SIDeKaAbstrakLahirnya Undang-Undang Desa No. 6 Tahun 2014 memberikan kewenangan kepadadesa untuk mengurus dan mengatur urusan pemerintahannya sendiri.

English grammatical collocations of the verb and the preposition for and their collocational equivalents in the Slovak language

This paper focuses on empirical research of grammatical collocations of the type: verb and preposition FOR. Subject to analysis were the verbal prepostional structures of the pattern 1: V+prepositional phrase in the function of the object and the pattern 2: V+ preposition+fixed element. The study is based on comparisons of the English and Slovak sentences containing this specific verbal-prepositional structure. Data for contrastive study of English and Slovak languages are taken from the electronic corpus Slovak National Corpus, ie. English- Slovak Parallel Corpus. The aim of the study is to analyse, describe and classify only prepositional counterparts.

Bis(2,4-dioxopentan-3-ido-κ2 O,O′)dioxidomolybdenum(VI): a redetermination

The title compound, [Mo(C5H7O2)2O2] or cis-[MoO2(acac)2] (acac is acetylacetonate), contains a molybdenum(VI) atom coordinated by two acetylacetonate ligands and two doubly bonded oxido ligands in a distorted octahedral shape. The molecule is chiral and the asymmetric unit contains two independent molecules (one Δ, one Λ). Extensive C—H...O contacts are present throughout the structure. Data were collected at 100 K, providing higher precision of unit-cell parameters and atomic positions than previous determinations [Kamenar et al. (1973). Cryst. Struct. Commun. 2, 41–44.; Krasochka et al. (1975). Zh. Strukt. Khim. 16, 696–698].
