Ecological niche modelling using MaxEnt for riparian species in a Mediterranean context by Jean Stephan, Melissa Korban

“…Despite their key environmental role, riparian tree and shrub species gained little attention in ecological niche modeling (ENM), especially in semi-arid environments.This study examines the performance of selected climatic, topographic, and geographic predictors in ENM of obligate and non-obligate riparian tree and shrub species in perennial and intermittent streams in the Mediterranean biome.MaxEnt algorithm was used for ENM. …”

Exploiting Multiple Channels for Low Latency and Semireliable Broadcasting in Cognitive Wireless Sensor Networks by Tae-Sung Kim, Sok-Hyong Kim, Bo-Kyum Kim, Young-Yong Kim

“…To realize these goals, in this study, we present our design for a novel Channel Assignment Algorithm for a Collision-Reduced Broadcast Tree (CA-CBT). Fundamentally, CA-CBT builds a broadcast tree and then uses several heuristic procedures to allocate collision-free channels to links on the tree. …”
