Abstract Crop cultivation provides ecosystem services on increasingly large fields. However, the effects of in-field spatial heterogeneity crop yields, in particular triticale, have rarely been considered. The study assess soil and elevation triticale grown an intensively cropped hummocky landscape. field was classified into three classes: C1, C2, C3, based texture available water capacity (AWC...

Understanding the spatial variability of soil texture classes is essential for agricultural management and environment sustainability. Sentinel-2 data offer valuable vegetation information as proxies properties inference. However, applications them in classification are still limited. This study investigated usefulness predicting class using an interpretable machine learning (ML) strategy. Spec...

Undetected subclinical keratoconus (KC) is the main risk factor for iatrogenic ectasia. Many parameters have been proposed to help differentiate normal from subclinical KC corneas. Linear discriminant analysis is a technique that models the difference between different classes of data by looking for linear combinations of variables which best explain the data. The association of surfaces elevat...

In this study, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to study the relationship between drinking water quality based on content of inorganic components and landform classes in the south of Firozabad, west of Fars province, Iran. For determination of drinking water quality based on content of inorganic components, parameters of calcium (Ca), chlorine (Cl), magnesium (Mg), thorium (TH...

An ecological land classification was developed for a complex region in southern California using geographic information system techniques of map overlay and contingency table analysis. Land classes were identified by mutual information analysis of vegetation pattern in relation to other mapped environmental variables. The analysis was weakened by map errors, especially errors in the digital el...

In this paper we describe a new approach to programming which generalizes object-oriented programming. It is based on using a new programming construct, called concept, which generalizes classes. Concept is defined as a pair of two classes: one reference class and one object class. Each concept has a parent concept which is specified using inclusion relation generalizing inheritance. We describ...
