Quantifying heterogeneous responses of fish community size structure using novel combined statistical techniques
To understand changes in ecosystems, the appropriate scale at which to study them must be determined. Large marine ecosystems (LMEs) cover thousands of square kilometres and are a useful classification scheme for ecosystem monitoring and assessment. However, averaging across LMEs may obscure intricate dynamics within. The purpose of this study is to mathematically determine local and regional p...
متن کاملNew univariate characterization of fish community size structure improves precision beyond the Large Fish Indicator
The size structure of fish-communities is an emergent high-level property of marine food webs responsive to changes in structure and function. To measure this food web property using data arising from routine fisheries surveys, a simple metric known as Typical Length has been proposed as more suitable than the Large Fish Indicator, which has been highly engineered to be responsive to fishing pr...
متن کاملInvestigating electrochemical drilling (ECD) using statistical and soft computing techniques
In the present study, five modeling approaches of RA, MLP, MNN, GFF, and CANFIS were applied so as to estimate the radial overcut values in electrochemical drilling process. For these models, four input variables, namely electrolyte concentration, voltage, initial machining gap, and tool feed rate, were selected. The developed models were evaluated in terms of their prediction capability with m...
متن کاملLinking community size structure and ecosystem functioning using metabolic theory.
Understanding how biogeochemical cycles relate to the structure of ecological communities is a central research question in ecology. Here we approach this problem by focusing on body size, which is an easily measured species trait that has a pervasive influence on multiple aspects of community structure and ecosystem functioning. We test the predictions of a model derived from metabolic theory ...
متن کاملDiscovery Using Heterogeneous Combined Logics
Introduction Research in hybrid logic systems and, later, description logics, has revealed a tradeoff between the expressivity of a logical formalism, and the complexity of reasoning within that formalism. This is why, for instance, tractable inference procedures are known for certain classes of description logics and for (some) formalisms underlying knowledge representation on the Semantic Web...
