This paper presents a new technique of fault detection and isolation (FDI). This technique is based on Neural Networks fault-free and Faulty behaviors Models (NNF Ms). NNFMs are used for residual generation, while decision trees are introduced for residual selection and evaluation. Each part of the tree corresponds to specific residuals and with the decision tree it becomes possible to take the...

Using natural regen,eration can be risky, however. A good example is from the Southwide Southern Pine Seed Source Study (SSPSSS), iongleaf phase, established in the early 1950’s (Wells and Wakeley 1970). The stands and trees from which seed was collected were carefully chosen to be representative of the genetic resource of the area. One of the seed sources, from southeastern Louisiana performed...

Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) seed production was monitored for 4 yr in stands harvested by a range of evenand uneven-aged reproduction cutting methods. The fifty-two 35–40 ac stands were distributed throughout the Ouachita Mountains from central Arkansas to eastern Oklahoma. Seed crops were characterized as good, poor, poor, and bumper, averaging 109,000, 18,000, 5,000, and 379,000 sou...

Implicative statistics criteria have proven to be valuable interestingness measures for association rules. Here we highlight their interest for classification trees. We start by showing how Gras’ implication index may be defined for rules derived from an induced decision tree. This index is especially helpful when the aim is not classification itself, but characterizing the most typical conditi...

A spanner is reliable if it can withstand large, catastrophic failures in the network. More precisely, any failure of some nodes only cause a small damage remaining graph terms dilation, that is, property maintained for almost all residual graph. Constructions spanners near linear size are known low-dimensional Euclidean settings. Here, we present new constructions planar graphs, trees and (gen...

We introduce regenerative tree growth processes as consistent families of random trees with n labelled leaves, n ≥ 1, with a regenerative property at branch points. This framework includes growth processes for exchangeably labelled Markov branching trees, as well as nonexchangeable models such as the alpha-theta model, the alpha-gamma model and all restricted exchangeable models previously stud...

Manipulation of forest spatial patterns has become a common objective in restoration prescriptions throughout the central and southern Rocky Mountain dry-mixed conifer forest systems. Pre-Euro-American settlement forest reconstructions indicate that frequent-fire regimes developed forests with complex mosaics of individual trees, tree clumps of varying size, and openings. While it is broadly ag...

The atmosphere's carbon dioxide (CO2) content raises global temperatures. OGS, or green open space, has the power to absorb dioxide. OGS of Pinang Masak Campus, Jambi University, too this potential, although number vehicles keeps rising yearly. reduction flora at University's Campus will result in higher emissions. three-month study was carried out University. This directly measured crown and c...

the ponseti method is a safe and effective treatment for congenital clubfoot, and radically decreases the need for extensive corrective surgery. but a group of patients will still present with under corrected residual equinovarus deformities despite the proper use of the ponseti method. about 25% of operated clubfeet will develop recurrence or show a marked residual deformity (recurrent clubfoo...

Wind disturbance profoundly shapes temperate forests but few studies have evaluated patterns and mechanisms of long-term forest dynamics following major windthrows. In 1990, we initiated a large hurricane simulation experiment in a 0.8-ha manipulation (pulldown) and 0.6-ha control area of a maturing Quercus rubra--Acer rubrum forest in New England. We toppled 276 trees in the pulldown, using a ...
