Data Acquisition for Conservation Assessments: Is the Effort Worth It?

When identifying conservation priorities, the accuracy of conservation assessments is constrained by the quality of data available. Despite previous efforts exploring how to deal with imperfect datasets, little is known about how data uncertainty translates into errors in conservation planning outcomes. Here, we evaluate the magnitude of commission and omission error, effectiveness and efficien...

Improving image compression - Is it worth the effort?

This paper presents some arguments in favour of further research in video compression because of scarce spectrum resources for mobile applications and the lack of powerful tools for scalable coding. Finally some ideas and results for metadata based compression, improved prediction and scalable schemes are presented.

Multiple pooled results are required when there are multiple endpoints of interest across studies, such as multiple outcomes (e.g. overall and disease-free survival), multiple time-points ...
