Organized crime now targets one of the most precious wealth in Africa, the wild life. The most affected by the poaching are the Big 5, whose survival requires attention and efforts from everyone, in accordance to his own expertise. Just as Noah was tasked to save every species from the Genesis flood, we envision the NOAH Project to (re)make natural parks as a safe haven. This endeavor requires ...

Submitted for the MAR05 Meeting of The American Physical Society Superfluidity of interacting bosons in one-dimension via strong disorder NOAH BRAY-ALI, UC Berkeley, Physics Department, JOEL MOORE, UC Berkeley, Physics Department; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Materials Science Division — We have found a novel set of superfluid and Mott insulating phases arising in strongly-disordered,...

Decision tree induction algorithms scale well to large datasets for their univariate and divide-and-conquer approach. However, they may fail in discovering effective knowledge when the input dataset consists of a large number of uncorrelated many-valued attributes. In this paper we present an algorithm, Noah, that tackles this problem by applying a multivariate search. Performing a multivariate...

Mandelbrot introduced the concept of fractals to describe the nonEuclidean shape of many aspects of the natural world. In the time series context he proposed the use of fractional Brownian motion (fBm) to model non-negligible temporal persistence, the “Joseph Effect”; and Lévy flights to quantify large discontinuities, the “Noah Effect”. In space physics, both effects are manifested in the inte...

Interdisciplinary observations of mesoscale eddies were made to the west of the island of Hawai’i. A central goal of the studies is to improve our understanding of the coupling of physical, biological, and biogeochemical processes that occur within these eddies. A specific objective was to test the hypothesis that the physical mechanisms of mesoscale eddies result in increases in nutrient avail...

Precipitation is a key hydrometeorological variable for understanding surface energy partitioning and water budget over the Tibetan Plateau (TP). A substantial proportion of summer precipitation falls as rain. The effects different land models (LSMs) on TP’s their inner mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, assessments LSMs coupled with Weather Research Forecasting model in simulation were inve...
