Biodegradability and microbial activities during composting of poultry litter.
Poultry litter is composted to reduce odor and pathogens and to improve its quality as a soil amendment. Organic material, e.g., sawdust, is added to increase the C:N ratio to achieve optimum degradation of organic C and retention of N through microbial biomass formation. However, the relative biodegradabilities of the organic material in poultry litter and the amendment are usually not known. ...
متن کاملEvaluating Pruning Methods
A notorious problem in the application of neural networks is to nd a small suitable topology. High order perceptrons already solve a part of this problem as they require no hidden layers. However, the number of connections in a fully interlayer connected high order perceptron grows quickly with their order. Partially connected topologies are therefore highly desirable and can be obtained by app...
متن کاملTree Pruning for Output Coded Ensembles
Output Coding is a method of converting a multiclass problem into several binary subproblems and gives an ensemble of binary classifiers. Like other ensemble methods, its performance depends on the accuracy and diversity of base classifiers. If a decision tree is chosen as base classifier, the issue of tree pruning needs to be addressed. In this paper we investigate the effect of six methods of...
متن کاملA quality index for decision tree pruning
Decision tree is a divide and conquer classification method used in machine learning. Most pruning methods for decision trees minimize a classification error rate. In uncertain domains, some sub-trees which do not decrease the error rate can be relevant to point out some populations of specific interest or to give a representation of a large data file. We present here a new pruning method (call...
متن کاملStrategies for evaluating the sanitary quality of composting.
AIMS To evaluate different strategies for description of the sanitary quality of industrial-scale composting. METHODS AND RESULTS The investigation included microbiological analyses of waste at different stages during the process (spot test analysis), as well as physical and chemical parameters. The elimination of indicator organisms was also investigated by means of direct process evaluation...
