The Peach Terrace

Stewart Mountain Terrace: a New Salt River Terrace

Stream terraces of the Salt River form the interpretive backbone of Plio-Pleistocene landscape evolution of central Arizona, because they represent the base level of all tributary streams. This paper presents a new addition to T.L. Péwé’s Salt River Terrace sequence (in decreasing topographic position and age: Sawik, Mesa, Blue Point, and Lehi) that has been unrefined for the last 30 years. The...

Typology of the terrace of historic houses in Najafabad

Najafabad is one of the cities of Isfahan province, which is called the oldest new city in Iran. Despite research related to the special urban planning of this Safavid city, and in terms of increasing renovation of historic houses and their importance as part of the history of architecture, so far no research has been published on what are the historic houses of this city and their typology.

PEACH: Predicting Frost Events in Peach Orchards Using IoT Technology

In 2013, 85% of the peach production in the Mendoza region (Argentina) was lost because of frost. In a couple of hours, farmers can lose everything. Handling a frost event is possible, but it is hard to predict when it is going to happen. The goal of the PEACH project is to predict frost events by analyzing measurements from sensors deployed around an orchard. This article provides an in-depth ...

Terrace Aware Phylogenomic Inference from Supermatrices

One approach in phylogenomics to infer the tree of life is based on concatenated multiple sequence alignments from many genes. Unfortunately, the resulting so-called supermatrix is usually sparse, that is, not every gene sequence is available for all species in the supermatrix. Due to the missing sequence information a phylogenetic inference, assuming that each gene evolves with its own substit...
