Cooling and Warming of Climate of the Earth’s Northern Hemisphere (On the Basis of Fluctuations of the Oxygen Isotope Δ18O and Dendrological Data) by Boryczka Jerzy, Stopa-Boryczka Maria, Unton-Pyziołek Arleta, Gieszcz Piotr

“…Climate changes in Europe during the last 25000 years were presented together with a forecast for 1000 years (according to organic substances in deposits and radiation) as well as climate changes in Europe in the period from -500 years BP to 2100 AD (according to δ18O and pine tree-rings). It showed that climate changes depended on the concentration of planet mass in relation to the ecliptic plane (from the gravitational impact of planets on the Sun). …”

A GA and SVM Classification Model for Pine Wilt Disease Detection Using UAV-Based Hyperspectral Imagery by Sulan Zhang, Hong Huang, Yunbiao Huang, Dongdong Cheng, Jinlong Huang

“…Simultaneously, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier was established to predict the PWD infection stage for an individual pine tree. The following results were obtained: (1) the spectral characteristics for pine trees in different PWD infection stages were distinctive in the green region (510–580 nm), red edge (680–760 nm) and near-infrared (780–1000 nm) spectra; (2) the six optimal spectral features (D_green, SD_green, D_red, D_RE, D_NIR, SD_NIR) selected with the GA effectively distinguished the PWD infection stages of pine trees with a lower calculation cost; (3) compared with the traditional classifiers, such as k-nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest (RF) and single SVM, the proposed GA and SVM classifier achieved the highest overall accuracy (95.24%) and Kappa coefficient (0.9234). …”
