Information Driven Ecohydrologic Self-Organization

Ecohydrologic and biogeochemical process networks in forest ecosystems in monsoon east asia: Identification and interpretation

Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the cycles of carbon and water from local to global scales. These cycles and their variability, in turn, play an important role in the non-trivial emergent and self-organizing interactions between forest ecosystems and their environment. Observational evidence, based on micrometeorological eddy covariance measurements, suggests that heterogeneity and di...

Turkey Creek—A Case Study of Ecohydrology and Integrated Watershed Management in the Low-Gradient Atlantic Coastal Plain, USA

Water yield, water supply and quality, wildlife habitat, and ecosystem productivity and services are important societal concerns for natural resource management in the 21st century. Watershedscale ecohydrologic studies can provide needed context for addressing complex spatial and temporal dynamics of these functions and services. This study was conducted on the 5240 ha Turkey Creek watershed (W...

Technology driven strategy model in Research and Technology Organization

The purpose of this study was to provide a technology driven strategy model with an interpretive structure approach in the Petrochemical Research and Technology Company. The present study is descriptive, survey in terms of the nature of the research and applied in terms of purpose. By reviewing the research literature and expert opinion polls, 10 effective factors were identified along with the...

Guided Self-Organization of Input-Driven Recurrent Neural Networks

We review attempts that have been made towards understanding the computational properties and mechanisms of input-driven dynamical systems like RNNs, and reservoir computing networks in particular. We provide details on methods that have been developed to give quantitative answers to the questions above. Following this, we show how self-organization may be used to improve reservoirs for better ...
