The geographic distribution of Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) was analyzed using a database of 12377 geo-referenced observations. In the old world (including Asia, Africa and Europe) there are ca. 2900 euploid species classified in 166 distinct sections. In this study using geographic information system (GIS) by means of DIVA-GIS (ver. 4) distribution map of some more important sections in the old wo...

This contribution investigates to what extent the current grid can cope with area-wide deployment of electrical vehicles and renewable energies. It is also investigated at what point additional measures, such as grid reinforcement or load management systems (LMS) are necessary for stable operation. Simulations where conducted with the power grid calculation software DIgSILENT PowerFactory. Diff...

Recent advances in combining deep learning and Reinforcement Learning have shown a promising path for designing new control agents that can learn optimal policies for challenging control tasks. These new methods address the main limitations of conventional Reinforcement Learning methods such as customized feature engineering and small action/state space dimension requirements. In this paper, we...

Grid computing is a service for sharing computer resources and data storage capacity over the internet. As resource requirements of recent applications increased greatly, grid systems have gained importance in the last decade. Resource discovery is the essential job in Grid computing which provides searching and identifying necessary resources for given processes. There are various Resource Dis...

Recent theoretical and experimental results suggest the possibility of using current and near-future quantum hardware in challenging sampling tasks. In this paper, we introduce free-energy-based reinforcement learning (FERL) as an application of quantum hardware. We propose a method for processing a quantum annealer’s measured qubit spin configurations in approximating the free energy of a quan...

Along with the forthcoming of Google Earth, Virtual Earth, the next generation of Internet, Web 2.0, Grid Computing and smart sensor web, comes the new era for Geo-Information. In this paper, main features of new Geo-Information era are discussed. This new era is characterized by these features: serviced users are extended from professionals to all public users, the users are data and informati...
