A realistic radar scattering model to predict backscattering cross section for different frequencies and polarizations is an important tool for understanding the relationship between radar measurement and forest properties, and for enabling the estimation of forest parameters from radar data. Popular, conventional models typically specify a two-layer discrete random medium placed on a continuou...

This work presents a new approach for classification of genomic sequences from measurements of complex networks and information theory. For this, it is considered the nucleotides, dinucleotides and trinucleotides of a genomic sequence. For each of them, the entropy, sum entropy and maximum entropy values are calculated. For each of them is also generated a network, in which the nodes are the nu...

Estimating the amount of variation due to spatial dependence at different scales provides a basis for designing effective experiments. Accurate knowledge of spatial structures is needed to inform silvicultural guidelines and management decisions for long term sustainability of forests. Furthermore, geostatistics is a useful tool to describe and draw map the spatial variability and estimation o...
