A Boosted Genetic Fuzzy Classifier for land cover classification of remote sensing imagery

A Boosted Genetic Fuzzy Classifier (BGFC) is proposed in this paper, for land cover classification from multispectral images. The model comprises a set of fuzzy classification rules, which resemble the reasoning employed by humans. Fuzzy rules are generated in an iterative fashion, incrementally covering subspaces of the feature space, as directed by a boosting algorithm. Each rule is able to select the required features, further improving the interpretability of the obtained model. After the rule generation stage, a genetic tuning stage is employed, aiming at improving the cooperation among the fuzzy rules, thus increasing the classification performance attained after the first stage. The BGFC is tested using an IKONOS multispectral VHR image, in a lake-wetland ecosystem of international importance. For effective classification, we consider advanced feature sets, containing spectral and textural feature types. Comparative results with well-known classifiers, commonly employed in remote sensing tasks, indicate that the proposed system is able to handle multi-dimensional feature spaces more efficiently, effectively exploiting information from different feature sources.

Location of buried plastic pipes using multi-agent support based on GPR images

This work focuses on the generation of tools to aid inspection and identify buried plastic pipes in water supply systems (WSS). In our study we use ground penetrating system (GPR) images as a non-destructive method of obtaining information without altering the system conditions and the environmental characteristics. A viability study for extracting features, and an approach to the above-mentioned application based on multi-agent systems are addressed in this paper. Firstly, we use intensive matrix manipulation of the GPR output for preprocessing the images. As a result, two matrices are produced that classify initial data based on the original radargram of the wave amplitude parameter. Then the plastic pipe characteristics that offer an enhanced likelihood of location are defined. This procedure is evaluated through two case-studies. One study corresponds to a simple case (one pipe) and the other corresponds to various pipes (made of different materials). Both cases were developed under controlled laboratory conditions. The obtained results are promising, and we show that automatic plastic pipe location has been achieved. The main contributions of the procedures proposed in this work are: firstly, highly skilled GPR prospection operators become unnecessary for plastic pipe location using GPR images; and secondly, we have opened a route to further classification that makes use of other methodologies.     

Variance of collapse capacity of SDOF systems under earthquake excitations

The variance of collapse capacity is an important constituent of probabilistic methodologies used to evaluate the probability of collapse of structures subjected to earthquake ground motions. This study evaluates the effect of ground motion randomness (i.e. record‐to‐record (RTR) variability) and uncertainty in the deterioration parameters of single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) systems on the variance of collapse capacity. Collapse capacity is evaluated in terms of a relative intensity defined as the ratio of ground motion intensity to a structure strength parameter. The effect of RTR variability on the variance of collapse capacity is directly obtained by performing dynamic analyses of deteriorating hysteretic models for a set of representative ground motions. The first‐order second‐moment (FOSM) method is used to quantify the effect of deterioration parameter uncertainty. In addition to RTR variability, the results indicate that uncertainty in the displacement at the peak (cap) strength and the post‐capping stiffness significantly contribute to the variance of collapse capacity. If large dispersion of these parameters exists, the effect of uncertainty in deterioration parameters on the variance of collapse capacity may be comparable to that caused by RTR variability.

外源一氧化氮和金属铜对海洋微藻抗氧化系统的影响

以亚心形扁藻为研究对象,通过添加不同浓度一氧化氮(NO)(1.4×10-10～1.4×10-5 mol/L)培养,探讨NO对微藻生长、H2O2和MDA含量以及SOD活性的影响;通过对只添加金属Cu、同时添加Cu与NO实验,对微藻的H2O2和MDA含量以及SOD活性的影响进行了对比研究。结果表明,藻细胞活性氧的代谢有随NO浓度增加的趋势,同时细胞内的抗氧化酶SOD活性和MDA含量都有相应的变化,NO作为环境的"刺激物"提高了细胞内的活性氧水平,对抗氧化系统起到激活或伤害作用。在Cu胁迫下,藻细胞活性氧代谢明显提高,SOD活性提高,并导致细胞膜脂过氧化;但外源NO能明显降低活性氧的水平,并恢复SOD活性和MDA含量,对抗氧化系统起到保护作用,提高微藻的抗氧化能力。研究表明,NO在海洋浮游植物中扮演着"双重角色"——氧化剂和抗氧化剂,从而对微藻的生长起到重要的调节作用。     

Knowledge co-production for Indigenous adaptation pathways: Transform post-colonial articulation complexes to empower local decision-making

Co-production between scientific and Indigenous knowledge has been identified as useful to generating adaptation pathways with Indigenous peoples, who are attached to their traditional lands and thus highly exposed to the impacts of climate change. However, ignoring the complex and contested histories of nation-state colonisation can result in naïve adaptation plans that increase vulnerability. Here, through a case study in central Australia, we investigate the conditions under which co-production between scientific and Indigenous knowledge can support climate change adaptation pathways among place-attached Indigenous communities. A research team including scientists, Ltyentye Apurte Rangers and other staff from the Central Land Council first undertook activities to co-produce climate change presentations in the local Arrernte language; enable community members to identify potential adaptation actions; and implement one action, erosion control. Second, we reflected on the outcomes of these activities in order to unpack deeper influences. Applying the theory of articulation complexes, we show how ideologies, institutions and economies have linked Indigenous societies and the establishing Australian nation-state since colonisation. The sequence of complexes characterised as frontier, mission, pastoral, land-rights, community-development and re-centralisation, which is current, have both enabled and constrained adaptation options. We found knowledge co-production generates adaptation pathways when: (1) effective methods for knowledge co-production are used, based on deeply respectful partnerships, cultural governance and working together through five co-production tasks—prepare, communicate, discuss, bring together and apply; (2) Indigenous people have ongoing connection to their traditional territories to maintain their Indigenous knowledge; (3) the relationship between the Indigenous people and the nation-state empowers local decision-making and learning, which requires and creates consent, trust, accountability, reciprocity, and resurgence of Indigenous culture, knowledge and practices. These conditions foster the emergence of articulation complexes that enable the necessary transformative change from the colonial legacies. Both these conditions and our approach are likely to be relevant for place-attached Indigenous peoples across the globe in generating climate adaptation pathways.
