Location Selection and Resource Allocation for Field Hospitals after a Possible Earthquake in Amol City, Iran
Background and objective Transferring injured people to medical centers is one of the important challenges of providing relief in natural and man-made disasters. Often, due to the damage caused by the disaster, it is not possible to transfer the injured to safe medical centers in the short term. Establishing field hospitals in suitable places is one of the common solutions in these situations. ...
متن کاملSummer Resting and Den Site Selection by Eastern Spotted Skunks (spilogale Putorius) in Arkansas
Denning and resting site use by radiocollared eastern spotted skunks (Spilogale putorius) in the Ouachita Mountains of western Arkansas was investigated from May through August 2005 and 2006. We identified and characterized microhabitat and landscape characteristics of 127 resting and den sites. Sites were located in burrows excavated by other mammal species (48%), in decayed or burned root sys...
متن کاملFault Detection and Location in DC Microgrids by Recurrent Neural Networks and Decision Tree Classifier
Microgrids have played an important role in distribution networks during recent years. DC microgrids are very popular among researchers because of their benefits. Protection is one of the significant challenges in the way of microgrids progress. As a result, in this paper, a fault detection and location scheme for DC microgrids is proposed. Due to advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and s...
متن کاملGene Tree Affects Inference of Sites Under Selection by the Branch-Site Test of Positive Selection
The branch-site test of positive selection is a standard approach to detect past episodic positive selection in a priori-specified branches of a gene phylogeny. Here, we ask if differences in the topology of the gene tree have any influence on the ability to infer positively selected sites. Using simulated sequences, we compare the results obtained for true and rearranged topologies. We find a ...
متن کاملMaking good choices with variable information: a stochastic model for nest-site selection by honeybees.
A density-dependent Markov process model is constructed for information transfer among scouts during nest-site selection by honeybees (Apis mellifera). The effects of site quality, competition between sites and delays in site discovery are investigated. The model predicts that bees choose the better of two sites more reliably when both sites are of low quality than when both sites are of high q...
