Review and Phylogenetic Evaluation of Associations between Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) and Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) by Menno Reemer

“…The taxa of Microdontinae found in association with ants occur scattered throughout their phylogenetic tree. One of the supposedly most basal taxa (Mixogaster) is associated with ants, suggesting that associations with ants evolved early in the history of the subfamily and have remained a predominant feature of their lifestyle. …”

Carbon Stocks on Forest Stewardship Program and Adjacent Lands by Nilesh Timilsina, Francisco J. Escobedo, Alison E. Adams, Damian C. Adams

“…Another benefit from forests that is gaining interest is their ability to store carbon through the photosynthetic capture of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in tree, plant, and soil biomass. The carbon dioxide that is stored over the life of a forest, called carbon stocks, is not only important for mitigating greenhouse gas contributions to climate change, but it can also be valued in several markets and incorporated into environmental policy instruments. …”

Multiple Linear Regression Model Based on Neural Network and Its Application in the MBR Simulation by Chunqing Li, Zixiang Yang, Yiquan Deng, Tao Wang

“…The system is researched and developed with the hybrid programming of VC++ programming language and OpenGL, with a multifactor linear regression model of affecting MBR membrane fluxes based on neural network, applying modeling method of integer instead of float and quad tree recursion. The experiments show that the three-dimensional simulation system, using the above models and methods, has the inspiration and reference for the future research and application of the MBR simulation technology.…”

Measuring. Monitoring. Management. Control by F.G. Agayev, H.H. Asadov, M.E. Omarov, S.S. Aliyeva

“…The optimization made it possible to determine the worst-case model dependence L = L(φ), where L is the distance between the lidar and the tree; φ is the quantum yield of the fluorescent signal, which leads to the smallest value of the measured average integral value of the fluorescence signal. …”

Fragmentary data and scattered lands: a recording protocol for a comparative archaeothanatological analysis based on archaeological illustrations by Anastasia Chrysanthi Solomou

“…The protocol is based on archaeothanatological principles and structured by a decision tree to ensure comparability and repeatability. The results highlight aspects of differentiation between Tsepi, Aghios Kosmas (mainland) and the Cyclades, indicating variation in mortuary practices: for example, the graves at Tsepi, and potentially at Aghios Kosmas, were filled in following each deposit whereas the Cycladic case-study graves were left uncovered. …”

DS+: Reliable Distributed Snapshot Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks by Gamze Uslu, Kemal Cagri Serdaroglu, Sebnem Baydere

“…In this paper, we present a fully distributed snapshot acquisition algorithm adapted to tree topology wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Since snapshot acquisition is through control messages sent over highly lossy wireless channels and congested nodes, we enhanced the snapshot algorithm with a sink based reliability suit to achieve robustness. …”
