Accurate estimates of tree diameter, height, volume, and biomass are important for numerous economic ecological applications. In this study, we report exponential equations to predict DBH (cm), stem volume over bark (VOB, m3), total above-stump (TASB, kg) using three varying levels input data Pinus radiata D. Don, Eucalyptus globulus Labill., nitens (H.Deane & Maiden) Maiden planted trees. ...

A knowledge-based model that emulates human behavior in a Dynamic Decision Making task is proposed. The model, MAIDEN-DSF, uses a connectionist representation of knowledge and a value function to compute the best alternative. In order to validate MAIDEN-DSF, two data sets have been used: a training set and a test set that contain the behavior of participants that performed the task with differe...

We have developed techniques to automatically infer mother's maiden names from public records. We demonstrate our techniques using publicly available records from the state of Texas, and reduce the entropy of a mother's maiden name from an average of close to 13 bits down to below 6.9 bits for more than a quarter of the people targeted, and down to a zero entropy (i.e., certainty of their mothe...
