Fuzzy cognitive mapping for predicting hydromorphological responses to multiple pressures in rivers

Principles of hydromorphological surveys of Polish rivers

This paper presents the key principles of the new Polish methodology for hydromorphological river surveys which is consistent with the provisions of the Water Framework Directive. This method proposes to investigate only the main watercourse of the water body. The assessment is based on cartographic maps, satellite images and the existing databases. Field surveys are limited to selected stretch...

Session I. Assessment and Rehabilitation of Hydromorphological Processes in Rivers

Streams and their riparian zones provide typical examples of naturally speciesrich, dynamic habitats. Under natural conditions, spatial and temporal variation in flooding disturbance coincide with a strong hydrological gradient from the channel to the uplands, generating a heterogeneous environment with corresponding high plant and animal diversity. Yet, streams and their riparian zones are hig...

Mapping Sequence diagram in Fuzzy UML to Fuzzy Petri Net

This ability in fuzzy UML, practically leaves the customers and market’s need without response in this important and vital area. Here, the available sequence diagrams in fuzzy UML will map into fuzzy Petri net. However, the formal models ability will be added to the Semi-formal fuzzy UML. This formalization will add the automatic processing ability to the Semi-formal fuzzy UML. Further more, t...

Fuzzy cognitive mapping: Applications in education

Fostering conceptual and cognitive change in learners can be difficult. Students often come to a learning situation with robust, implicit understandings of the material under study. One explanation for the implicit nature of these understandings is a lack of metaknowledge about the knowledge to be acquired. Helping learners create metaknowledge may free paths to conceptual change. This paper pr...
