Abstract:

As the first comprehensive study of Western Australian forest protest the thesis analyses the protest movement's organisation, campaigns and strategies. Its central argument is that the contemporary Western Australian forest protest movement established a network of urban and south-west activist groups which encouraged broad public support, and that a diversity of protest strategies focused public attention on forest issues and pressured the state government to change its forest policies. The forest protest movement was characterised by its ability to continually adapt its organisation and s

Abstract:

This study, concentrating on the Ouachita Mountain Range in western-central Arkansas, extends prior work on treethrows and their influence on soil development in the region by supplying a method of determining hotspots of bedrock mining by treethrow. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the abiotic and biotic factors that are highly correlated with the rate of bedrock detachment found in uprooted rootwads from three study sites within the Ouachita National Forest. The produced logistic regression models suggest topographic factors, tree specific characteristics, as wel

Abstract:

Amazonian rainforests are home to Earth's largest reservoir of biodiversity, providing crucial ecosystem services and storing approximately 17% of all global terrestrial carbon. Today, these forests are experiencing rapid, unprecedented changes due to climate impacts and anthropogenic disturbances. In recent decades, the region has experienced marked variability in deforestation, and after a long period of increase, the deforestation rates in countries like Brazil have sharply declined in recent years. However, little is known about the forest trends and the impact of different drivers in othe

Abstract:

Many frequent pattern mining algorithms operate on precise data, where each data point is an exact accounting of a phenomena (e.g., I have exactly two sisters). Alas, reasoning this way is a simplification for many real world observations. Measurements, predictions, environmental factors, human error, &ct. all introduce a degree of uncertainty into the mix. Tree-based frequent pattern mining algorithms such as FP-growth are particularly efficient due to their compact in-memory representations of the input database, but their uncertain extensions can require many more tree nodes.

Survival, growth and biomass accumulation of 19 year-old trees planted on an Appalachian surface mine site were evaluated to determine the effect of spoil grading and surface amendment treatments. Three spoil grading treatments (loose-dump, strike-off and graded control) were established to create a range of operationally feasible spoil compaction capable of impacting tree establishment and growth. Likewise, three surface amendment treatments (straw/manure mulch, hardwood bark mulch and control) were applied to determine their effects on tree development. Trees grown under low-compaction gradi

Abstract:

GDP is used to measure the economic state of a country and accurate forecasts of it is therefore important. Using the Economic Tendency Survey we investigate forecasting quarterly GDP growth using the data mining technique Random Forest. Comparisons are made with a benchmark AR(1) and an ad hoc linear model built on the most important variables suggested by the Random Forest. Evaluation by forecasting shows that the Random Forest makes the most accurate forecast supporting the theory that there are benefits to using Random Forests on economic time series.

Context: Real-time games like Dota 2 lack the extensive mathematical modeling of turn-based games that can be used to make objective statements about how to best play them.

Objectives: In this thesis an attempt was made to create a model using machine learning that can predict the winning team of a Dota 2 game given partial data collected as the game progressed. A couple of different classifiers were tested, out of these Random Forest was chosen to be studied more in depth.

Surface mining for coal in the Appalachian region destroys native forests and replaces them with reclaimed landscapes that are often revegetated as grasslands and are unacceptable for managed forest production without extensive remediation. Tree survival and growth are dependent on many reclaimed mine land properties. However, conventional mapping techniques using USDA soil series does not identify these critical soil property differences.

Data about the spatial variation of soil attributes is required to address a great number of environmental issues, such as improving water quality, flood mitigation, and determining the effects of the terrestrial carbon cycle.

There is, however, disparity between the way in which much of the existing information about soil is recorded and the format in which the data is required. There are two primary methods of represe

Abstract:

Mountaintop removal mining (MTR) is a notorious stressor of stream ecosystems in the Central Appalachians. Valley fills (VF) lead to reduced occupancy, abundance, and species richness of stream salamanders. Multiple factors may be responsible for these reductions, but specifically habitat fragmentation and degradation may reduce colonization rates and increase local extinction rates. From 2013-2015, repeated counts of salamanders were conducted in stream reaches impacted by MTR/VF and compared to counts in reference reaches to answer the question: do stream salamander population dynamics diffe

Thesis (MScFor)--Stellenbosch University, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Namaqualand has a very unusual diversity of plant life, with many endemic plant species. The fundamental question of this thesis is how this system, damaged by strip-mining activities, can be rehabilitated. The aim was to base the rehabilitation methods on ecological processes. In order to answer this question an overview of the relevant literature was needed in order to identify possible research needs and also to evaluate the work that has been done in the field of strip-mine rehabilitation in arid areas.

Thus, two methods of sampling were used and, as a result, this work was divided into two chapters. In the first chapter, the survey of the mirmecofauna was carried out monthly with attractive bait in the period from July 2014 to June 2015. It was used the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with seven treatments, which are: native grassland, non-mined area; native grassland, mined area; plantation of Acacia

Abstract:

Negli ultimi anni i metodi di autenticazione tradizionali sui dispositivi elettronici, come password e token, si sono rivelati obsoleti a causa della capacità sempre più avanzata di malintenzionati di risalire a tali informazioni sfruttando debolezze nei sistemi informatici. I sistemi di riconoscimento biometrico nascono come sostitutivi di questi metodi tradizionali e offrono una soluzione più affidabile in quanto si basano su attributi distintivi e propri di un individuo, che non possono essere rubati, manipolati o condivisi. Ad oggi i sistemi di riconoscimento biometrico su smartphone si li

Abstract:

A Floresta Nacional de Carajás é uma unidade de conservação federal localizada no sudeste da Amazônia, região Norte do Brasil. Juntamente com outras cinco áreas formam o Mosaico de Carajás com um contínuo de 1.307.000 hectares de área protegida. As principais fitofisionomias presentes no interior da unidade são a Floresta Ombrófila Densa e a Savana Metalófila. A unidade abriga a maior província mineral do mundo. A atividade de mineração promove diferentes impactos sobre a fauna principalmente através da modificação de paisagem originada pela supressão vegetal. O objetivo desse trabalho foi est
