Challenges and opportunities for managing aquatic mercury pollution in altered landscapes

The environmental cycling of mercury (Hg) can be affected by natural and anthropogenic perturbations. Of particular concern is how these disruptions increase mobilization of Hg from sites and alter the formation of monomethylmercury (MeHg), a bioaccumulative form of Hg for humans and wildlife. The scientific community has made significant advances in recent years in understanding the processes ...

Challenges and Opportunities for Managing Data Systems Using Statistical Models

Modern data systems comprise of heterogeneous and distributed components, making them difficult to manage piece-wise, let alone as a whole. Furthermore, the scale, complexity, and growth rate of these systems render any heuristic and rule-based system management approaches insufficient. In response to these challenges, statistics-based techniques for building gray or black box models of system ...
