Rating the potential land use for crop production and/or ranching is typically a process where gains counterbalance environmental losses. Whereas are often easy to verify, losses may render visibility through changes in ecosystem service, such as water and habitat quality, carbon storage, etc., thus, leaving decision maker with multi-criteria problem. The present study demonstrates how partial-...

Abstract The paper suggests the use of functional data analysis approach to study evolution well being indicators, visualizing their behaviour over time. Thus, an evolutionary well-being indicator is proposed by complement original with information concerning first derivative. second task provide overall ranking countries time using two tools: area under curve and depth, which return distinct r...

Real-world optimization problems are often subject to uncertainties caused by, e.g., missing information in the problem domain or stochastic models. These uncertainties can take different forms in terms of distribution, bounds, and central tendency. In the multiobjective context, some approaches have been proposed to take uncertainties into account within the optimization process. Most of them ...

Aggregative data infrastructures (ADIs) are information systems where organizations can find the tools to integrate their data sources to form uniform and richer information spaces of object metadata descriptions. Novel sustainable approaches for the realization of ADIs are based on the adoption of ADI enabling technologies which support the realization, maintenance and upgrade of ADIs and prom...

THEMATTHEWEFFECT FOR COUNTRIES (MEC) consists of the systematic deviation in the number of actual (observed) citations from the number of expected citations: Afew countries, expecting a high impact (i.e., a high number of cites per paper) receive a surplus of citations, while the majority of countries, expecting a lower impact, lose citations. The MEC is characterized by numerous facets, but tw...

The problem of countering the spread destructive content in social networks is currently relevant for most countries world. Basically, automatic monitoring systems are used to detect sources malicious information, and automated systems, operators, counteraction scenarios counteract it. paper suggests an approach ranking distribution messages with content. In process objects by priority, number ...

The work is aimed at the development of methodological support for regions’ typology in order to group them according essential features and calculate integral indicator. unique technique suggested by authors which includes five stages, all supplementing each other. Properly developed regions helps define region belongs to, and, on basis this, develop measures improve efficiency agricultural en...
