moringa pregerina (forssk.) fiori.,capparis decidua (forssk.) edgew. and salvadora oleides decne. are important indegenious shrub or tree species of sahara-sindian region which distributed and formed scattered woodlands in south east of iran. the current research was carried out to find most effective soil characteristics intheir distribiution. for this purpose, a study was conducted in the bal...

the objective of this study was to explore the microbial community diversities and the relationships between microbial community compositions and hydrochemical factors in nitrate contaminated groundwater of hun river alluvial plain. the method of polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-denaturing, gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge) gene fingerprints combined with canonical correspondence analysis（cca）...

The study was conducted to assess the species composition, substrate specificity, and seasonal abundance of periphytic algae from river Periyar. Monthly samples were collected for one year (June 2016 – May 2017) different substrates five selected stations. Eight physicochemical variables such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, chloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate also monitore...

Irrelevant inputs can cause deterioration of the network performance. This paper aims to implement features selection for water quality prediction model as the neural network generalization may be improved when the number of measured variables is reduced. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) was introduced as a feature selection method, where it choose a subset of input variables by eliminat...

Conserving and enhancing freshwater biodiversity are global issues to ensure ecosystem integrity and sustainability. To meet this, it is critical to understand how the biological assemblages are determined by environmental gradients in different spatial scales. Nevertheless, information on their large-scale environmental relationships remains scarce in Korea. We aimed to understand nationwide s...

As band widths are narrow and range of spectra is wide, subtle differences in spectral features can be extracted and used for mapping physical and chemical properties of bare substrate with imaging spectroscopy. However, the use of spectral characteristics of substrates is not accessible if substrate was covered by vegetation. In this study, we explored the feasibility of extracting karst ecoen...

Both genetic variants and brain region abnormalities are recognized as important factors for complex diseases (e.g., schizophrenia). In this paper, we investigated the correspondence between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and brain activity measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to understand how genetic variation influences the brain activity. A group sparse canonical c...
