The need for efficient monitoring of spatio-temporal dynamics in large environmental applications, such as the water quality monitoring in rivers and lakes, motivates the use of robotic sensors in order to achieve sufficient spatial coverage. Typically, these robots have bounded resources, such as limited battery or limited amounts of time to obtain measurements. Thus, careful coordination of t...

Aiming to provide a unified picture of computed activity - quantitative structure activity relationships, the so called Köln (ESIP-ElementSpecificInfluenceParameter) model for activity and Timisoara (Spectral-SAR) formulation of QSAR were pooled in order to assess the toxicity modeling and inter-toxicity correlation maps for aquatic organisms against paradigmatic organic compounds. The Köln ESI...

Participatory plant breeding (PPB) seeks to involve farmers more closely in crop improvement in order to improve the impact of breeding efforts. While detailed discussions exist around appropriate methodologies for conducting PPB, little attention has been directed towards analysing breeding institutions. Such an analysis is necessary, both to understand the possible reasons for poor breeding i...
