Teak Log Coffins in Northwest Thailand: Dated by Dendrochronology and 14Cwiggle Matching

Interannual variation in leaf expansion and outbreak of a teak defoliator at a teak stand in northern Thailand.

The leaf area index (LAI) is a key factor affecting tree growth in forests. Following the outbreak of a defoliator, the LAI declines, serving as a useful indicator in forest management. In this study, daily radiative transmittance from above the canopy, which decreases exponentially with increasing LAI, was measured in a teak plantation (Tectona grandis L. f.) in northern Thailand from March th...

Carbon Cycling in Teak Plantations in Comparison with Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests in Thailand

A New RSTB Invariant Image Template Matching Based on Log-Spectrum and Modified ICA

Template matching is a widely used technique in many of image processing and machine vision applications. In this paper we propose a new as well as a fast and reliable template matching algorithm which is invariant to Rotation, Scale, Translation and Brightness (RSTB) changes. For this purpose, we adopt the idea of ring projection transform (RPT) of image. In the proposed algorithm, two novel s...

Locating Matching Rules by Mining Software Change Log

A software system maintenance activity is typically performed under an environment of lacking knowledge about how to process it. This scarcity of knowledge may be caused by various factors, such as the large size and complexity of the systems, high staff turnover, poor documentation and long-term system maintenance. The study applies Apriori algorithm to extract information from software change...
