During the past decade, as the issue of plant invasion gained recognition in the public domain, both ecologists and weed scientists voluntarily or by mandate moved to provide their expertise to the management of invasive plants on public lands. Diverse views of nature carried to the table by ecologists and weed scientists have resulted in different priorities and opinions on management strategi...

Oxalis pes-caprae f. pleniflora (Lowe) Sunding (Oxalidaceae), a naturalized invasive alien is recorded for the first time from Turkey. It has staminodes and double petals as different properties from Oxalis pes-caprae L. Sympatric variations occured in the species populations could be the result of an accumulation of mutations or genome rearrangement. Invasive alien weed Oxalis pes-caprae and i...

Ten insect species were introduced to control five weeds on the island of Mauritius from 1914 to1982. Eight of these (80%) became established. The biocontrol programs against Opuntia vulgaris, O. tuna and Cordia curassavica were completely successful, with all three target plants now not considered as weeds, and requiring no management other than the ongoing, self-sustaining biological control....

One of the effectual text classification approaches for learning extensive information is incremental learning. The big issue that occurs enhancing accuracy, as comprised a large number terms. In order to address this issue, new approach designed using proposed hybrid optimization algorithm named Henry Fuzzy Competitive Multi-verse Optimizer (HFCVO)-based Deep Maxout Network (DMN). Here, optima...

This paper presents a new multi-objective mathematical model for the hub location and routing problem under uncertainty in flows, costs, times, number of job opportunities. aims at minimizing total transportation cost consisting fixed maximizing employment regional development as social responsibility. An M/M/c/K queue system is applied to estimate waiting time nodes maximize responsiveness. Al...

This paper demonstrates the framework and methodology how weed population dynamics can be predicted using rule-base fuzzy logic as applied to GIS spatial image. Parthenium weed (parthenium hysterophorus L.) infestation in the Central Queensland region poses a serious threat to the environment and economic viability of the infected areas. Government agencies have taken steps to control and manag...

Parthenium hysterophorus L., (Asteraceae) commonly known as parthenium weed, is a highly invasive plant that has become a problematic weed of pasture lands in Australia and many other countries around the world. For the management of this weed, an integrated approach comprising biological control and plant competition strategies was tested in southern central Queensland. Two competitive pasture...
