A model for simulating population distribution (MSPD) of China is developed based on the grid generation method and the Control of MapObjects of geographical information system. Elevation, net primary productivity, land use and land cover, city sizes and their spatial distribution, and spatial distribution of transport infrastructures are taken into full account in the MSPD. The result from the...

Group analyses of DT-MRI data have so far focused on comparison of scalar variables derived from the tensor, such as the trace or anisotropy. An increasingly popular approach is to spatially normalise such scalar data sets and perform comparisons on a voxel-by-voxel basis. Here, we show how this approach can be extended to comparisons of the whole tensor and suggest statistical measures for cha...

Background Biochemical laboratory investigations help plan optimum management and communication in short- as well as long-term outcome to trauma victims. Objective To assess the status of real-time values of biochemical laboratory investigations of different trauma patients and their association with overall mortality. Materials and Methods Data based on prospective, observational registry ...

introduction genetic evaluation and estimation of breeding value are one of the most fundamental elements of breeding programmes for genetic improvement. recently, genomic selection has become an efficient method to approach this aim. the accuracy of estimated genomic breeding value is the most important factor in genomic selection. different studies have been performed addressing the factors a...

today, with the advanced statistical techniques and neural networks, predictive models of distribution have been rapidly developed in ecology. purpose of this research is to predict and map the distribution of tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae) using mlp neural networks combined with genetic algorithm in surface of farm. population data of pest was obtained in 2016 by sampling in 1...
