Abstract The question of forest status in the Middle Volga region under anthropogenic load is considered. Forest stand vulnerability to fires depends on many factors: age, vitality, exogenous environmental factors. renewal communities characterized by a change and impoverishment phytocenoses.

BACKGROUND Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are becoming a major source of the national disease burden in Myanmar with potentially serious economic implications. METHODS Using data on 5484 households from the World Health Survey (WHS), this study assessed the household-level economic burden of two chronic conditions, angina and asthma, in Myanmar. Propensity score matching (PSM) and coarsened...

Particle filter has been widely applied in nonlinear target tracking due to the ability carry multiple hypothesis and relaxation of linearity/Gaussian assumption. In this paper, an adaptive double space-resampling particle is proposed increase efficiency robustness filtering by adjusting sample size. The first resampling operation, adopted before prediction samples, generates a larger number eq...

Bearings-only tracking (BOT) plays a vital role in underwater surveillance. In BOT, measurement is tangentially related to state of the system. This also corrupted with noise due turbulent environment. Hence estimation process using BOT becomes nonlinear. necessitates use nonlinear filtering algorithms place traditional linear filters like Kalman filter. general, these utilize assumption measur...

Cyber-physical systems such as autonomous spacecraft, power plants and automotive systems become more vulnerable to unanticipated failures as their complexity increases. Accurate tracking of system dynamics and fault diagnosis are essential. This paper presents an efficient state estimation method for dynamic systems modeled as concurrent probabilistic automata. First, the Labeled Uncertainty G...

Optical sensors based vehicle tracking can be widely implemented in traffic surveillance and flow control. The vast development of video surveillance infrastructure in recent years has drawn the current research focus towards vehicle tracking using high-end and low cost optical sensors. However, tracking vehicles via such sensors could be challenging due to the high probability of changing vehi...

1 Established individuals removed at random from populations of 11 long-lived herbaceous species coexisting in a local area of ancient limestone pasture at Cressbrookdale in North Derbyshire were subjected to clonal propagation to produce stocks of genetically identical individuals sufficient to create 36 model communities identical in species composition but widely contrasted in genetic divers...
