Abstract This study presents a coupled invasive weed optimization-adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system method to simulate physical habitat in streams. We implement proposed Lar national park Iran as one of the habitats Brown trout southern Caspian Sea basin. Five indices consisting root mean square error (RMSE), absolute (MAE), reliability index, vulnerability index and Nash–Sutcliffe model ef...

The main objectives of this study were to assess the accuracy of a ground-based weed mapping system that included optoelectronic sensors for weed detection, and to determine the sampling resolution required for accurate weed maps in maize crops. The optoelectronic sensors were located in the inter-row area of maize to distinguish weeds against soil background. The system was evaluated in three ...

Invasive trees are generally seen as ecosystem-transforming plants that can have significant impacts on native vegetation, and often require management and control. Understanding their history and biology is essential to guide actions of land managers. Here, we present a summary of recent research into the ecology, phylogeography and management of invasive olives, which are now established outs...

Nowadays, the high-dimensionality of data causes a variety problems in machine learning. It is necessary to reduce feature number by selecting only most relevant them. Different approaches called Feature Selection are used for this task. In paper, we propose method that uses Swarm Intelligence techniques. algorithms perform optimization searching optimal points search space. We show usability t...

This paper presents a new multi-objective mathematical model for the hub location and routing problem under uncertainty in flows, costs, times, number of job opportunities. aims at minimizing total transportation cost consisting fixed maximizing employment regional development as social responsibility. An M/M/c/K queue system is applied to estimate waiting time nodes maximize responsiveness. Al...

Construction cost (CC) is a quantifiable measure of energy demand for biomass production and is related to energy-use efficiency. Low construction cost was hypothesized to give invaders a growth advantage by utilizing energy efficiently. The present study examines the energetic cost of leaf construction in the invasive weed Mikania micrantha H.B.K. and its five common co-occurring species (Ager...
