Effective initiatives for forest-based mitigation of climate change rely on continuous efforts to improve the estimation forest biomass. Allometric biomass models, which are nonlinear models that predict aboveground (AGB) as a function diameter at breast height (D) and tree (H), typically used in estimations. A combined variable D2H may be instead two separate predictors. The Q-ratio (i.e., rat...

Forest fertilization is common in coastal British Columbia as a means to increase wood production and potentially enhance carbon sequestration. Generally, the effects of are determined by measuring sample plots pre- post-treatment, resulting being for limited portion treatment area. Applications remote sensing-based enhanced forest inventories have allowed estimations expand wider forested Howe...

We tested the accuracy of the Reflotron System by comparing results given by this system for estimations of glucose, SGOT, SGPT, cholesterol and triglycerides on patients samples which were already analysed on either an autoanalyser HITACHI 705 or manually on CLIN ICON 4010. Reflotron estimations correlated well with both Hitachi and Clinicon estimations and the strips gave reproducible results...

Three new ways for altering the intuitionistic fuzzy experts' estimations are discussed for the case, when some expert gives incorrect estimations. An open problem is formulated.

Formalin preservation affects the stable isotope composition of zooplankton samples, thus limiting analysis valuable collections covering large time intervals. Here, we compare different procedures for correcting bias caused by formalin in δ13C and δ15N community samples. Zooplankton samples representative seasonal variations period 2000–2009 were collected off A Coruña (NW Spain). Part sample ...
