Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) with genesis in the Coral Sea present significant hazards to coastal regions their surroundings. In addition, erratic nature of TC tracks is not well understood this region. Therefore, study grouped over last fifty years based on K-means clustering maximum wind-weighted centroids. This was done order extract valuable new cyclone power, track curvature and locati...

ABSTRACT Predation is a strong driver for the evolution of prey behaviour. To properly assess actual risk predation, anuran tadpoles mostly rely on water-borne chemical cues, and their ability to evaluate environmental information even more crucial when potential predators consist unknown alien species. Behavioural plasticity – that is, capacity express changes in behaviour response different s...

From a series of in-depth interviews, we gathered a significant amount of ethnographic material on the concrete and symbolic paths taken by young women and their partners in the search for a solution to an unplanned pregnancy. Inequities in Brazilian society are expressed in itineraries/routes of different sinuosity, complexity and duration according to the individuals' social and material cond...

In this paper we address the problem of segmenting a trajectory based on spatiotemporal criteria. We require that each segment is homogeneous in the sense that a set of spatiotemporal criteria are fulfilled. We define different such criteria, including location, heading, speed, velocity, curvature, sinuosity, curviness, and shape. We present an algorithmic framework that allows us to segment an...
