Gully erosion is one of the advanced forms water erosion. Identifying effective factors and gully predicting important tools to control manage such phenomenon. The main purpose this study evaluate effect four different resampling algorithms including cross-validation (5-fold 10-fold) bootstrapping (Bootstrap Optimism bootstrap) on boosted regression tree (BRT), support vector machine (SVM), ran...

We developed independent predictive disturbance models for a full regional data set and four individual ecoregions (Full Region vs. Individual Ecoregion models) to evaluate effects of spatial scale on the assessment of human landscape modification, on predicted response of stream biota, and the effect of other possible confounding factors, such as watershed size and elevation, on model performa...

Abstract The shared autonomous vehicle (SAV) system is considered as an efficient transportation mode in the future. In literature, optimization of SAV systems has been extensively studied. However, could bring greater social benefits if we use them with existing public systems, such bus rapid transit (BRT), integrated manner. This study proposes a model SAV-BRT system, that takes advantage fle...

A harmonized sampling approach in combination with spatial modelling is required to update current knowledge of fasciolosis in dairy cattle in Europe. Within the scope of the EU project GLOWORM, samples from 3,359 randomly selected farms in 849 municipalities in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Poland and Sweden were collected and their infection status assessed using an indirect bulk tank milk (BTM)...

The Gulf of Guinea represents a wide tract of the African coast with complex and rich coastal ecosystems undergoing various pressures. The seasonal variations of chlorophyll-a concentration (Chla) along the Gulf of Guinea (GoG) and their relations with physical oceanographic variables were analyzed using satellite observations covering the period 2002-2012. The effects of sea surface temperatur...
