Digital rock physics approach to simulate hydraulic effects of anhydrite cement in Bentheim sandstone
Authors: Wetzel Maria , Kempka Thomas , Kühn Michael
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Cementation of potential reservoir rocks is a geological
risk, which may strongly reduce the productivity and injectivity of a
reservoir, and hence prevent utilisation of the geologic subsurface, as it
was the case for the geothermal well of Allermöhe, Germany. Several
field, laboratory and numerical studies examined the observed anhydrite
cementation to understand the underlying processes and permeability
evolution of the sandstone. In the present study, a digital rock physics
approach is used to calculate the permeability variation of a highly
resolved three-dimensional model of a Bentheim sandstone.
Porosity-permeability relations are determined for reaction- and
transport-controlled precipitation regimes, whereby the experimentally
observed strong decrease in permeability can be approximated by the
transport-limited precipitation assuming mineral growth in regions of high
flow velocities. It is characterised by a predominant clogging of pore
throats, resulting in a drastic reduction in connectivity of the pore
network and can be quantified by a power law with an exponent above ten.
Since the location of precipitation within the pore space is crucial for the
hydraulic rock properties at the macro scale, the determined
porosity-permeability relations should be accounted for in large-scale
numerical simulation models to improve their predictive capabilities.
A new wing skeleton of Forfexopterus (Pterosauria: Ctenochasmatidae) from the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota reveals a developmental variation
Authors: Zhou Chang-Fu , Wang Jiahao , Zhu Ziheng
Published: October 2020

Abstract. In the Jehol Biota, the filter-feeding ctenochasmatid pterosaurs flourished with a high biodiversity. Here, we report a new wing skeleton of the ctenochasmatid Forfexopterus from the Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation in Jianchang, western Liaoning, China. The specimen exhibits the sole autapomorphy, the first wing phalanx shorter than the second and longer than the third. Interestingly, it exhibits a skeletal maturity with co-ossified elements, but it is only about 75 % the size of the immature holotype. This discrepancy reveals developmental variation of Forfexopterus, but its relationship with sexual dimorphism needs to be certain by more available material.
Kiel 2019: geographischer Dialog für die Zukunft?
Authors: Hannah Matthew G.
Published: October 2020

Abstract. In conditions of unavoidably increasing mutual ignorance among human
geographers about each others' areas of expertise, the question of how to
pursue dialogue in a mutually respectful way that promotes insight and
learning is ever more pressing. The dialogue between Carolin Schurr and
Peter Weichhart in Kiel in 2019 offers instructive examples of how this
issue can be addressed. The first, shorter part of the contribution is
devoted to the substantive question of the unity of geographic inquiry,
which was the subject matter of the dialogue. The bulk of the discussion,
however, is devoted to analysing the dynamics of the dialogue itself, with a special focus on the sometimes very subtle and unintended ways in which
positionalities leave their mark.
Explorations in 3D web cartography
Authors: Nicola Raluca
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Interactive 3D cartography has evolved substantially in the last years. New tools allow cartographers and mapping enthusiasts to create 3D web maps with a minimum effort. Technological advancements allow users to interact with 3D maps on a variety of devices, including their mobile phones or virtual reality glasses. As a result, many interactive 3D maps have been created, from which many insights on their design principles and creation process can be obtained. In this talk I will provide an overview of what is currently possible in 3D cartography and what are the current challenges and possible solutions when creating such maps. More precisely, the specifics of 3D symbology and rendering styles ranging from realistic to abstract will be discussed. In addition, 3D cartography is evolving with a heavy influence from different fields like games industry, art, data visualization or architecture, just to name a few. Hence, examples from some non-conventional 3D maps will be given that allow detecting features that come from such different fields and enhance the maps.
Detail or Disclosure – Towards a Visualisation of Confidentiality Related Spatial Damage to Demographic Grids
Authors: Specht Sebastian , Kramer Bernd
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Statistical data on demography is the basis for many population-related scientific questions, economic questions of health care and questions of planning public services. Population data in equal-area cartographic grid cells appears to be a good basis, especially for use cases in inter-municipal contexts of administration and planning (Specht et al. 2019). Census results have been used, since the 2011 census made available small-scale population data for the entire Federal Republic of Germany on a 100m grid for the first time. Unfortunately, this data is not updated by the statistical offices.This presentation describes a use case of demographic grids implemented in a context of inter-municipal cooperation in the region of Bremen. As the calculation of population forecasts was an objective, small-scale data on migration was required. Similar to the approach in the census, demographic data and data on migration are recorded in the residents' registration offices (EMA) of the cooperating municipalities. However, since outside the census other legal frameworks apply, the process cannot be adopted as is. In the EMAs, individual-related micro-data are available, serving as a base file. Under the respective legal framework, the data is anonymised, geo coded and converted into an aggregated tabular form on site.Aggregated data may still contain individual cases worthy of protection. The higher the number of queried characteristics (region, gender, age, nationality etc.) and their differentiation (100m grid or 1km grid, age years or age groups, etc.), the higher the probability to encounter such cases. A number of procedures for statistical disclosure control are available, of which the SAFE procedure (Höhne 2015) (used in the 2011 census) is currently implemented in the project. As other methods or strategies are up for consideration, how can they be evaluated in a specific regional context? From the perspective of confidentiality, space is at first just one feature dimension among others, although there are approaches that explicitly take spatial interrelation into account (Young, Martin, and Skinner 2009).From a geographical point of view, however, high resolution data, especially in sparsely populated areas, can generally be expected to show high before-and-after deviations as a result of confidentiality procedures. Depending on the subject matter, these spatial errors can have different degrees of relevance and thus be ultimately relevant for the selection of the confidentiality strategy. To support a decidedly spatial comparison of the effects of different classification, aggregation and confidentiality strategies, a set of indicators together with an interactive visualization for the project area under consideration is presented for discussion.
Mapping Photography
Authors: Bark Sam
Published: October 2020

Abstract. As a fresh face to the cartography world, I am always inspired by experienced cartographers and the wonderful maps they've designed. The consideration of colours, the layout design and composition applied to create the perfect mapping product. Using their webinars, tutorials and wise words, I always try to create my own perfect cartographic map but with my own unique style applied.With a fascination for photography, this helps me in more ways than just decorating my front room, often acting as a source of inspiration when designing maps. My cartography brain automatically merges the two passions, focusing on the photographs colours, layout and composition, before transferring that style to my map.Within this presentation, I want to explore the world of mapping and photography. How can photographs shape the way our maps look? With a specific focus on internet mapping, I want to showcase how we can create maps inspired from photography, whether that's your iPhone 6 or a £4000 camera. For my presentation, I will customise basemaps using a vector basemap editor and walk through this extremely useful tool. I'll then also focus on how to share your stories in an engaging and easy-to-use platform of Esri's Storymaps. The session will hopefully provide a unique style to designing your maps, that requires nothing but a camera phone and maybe a pretty landscape.

Published: October 2020

Abstract. The Royal Forest Department of Thailand has permitted people to use the resources in national parks since 2005. It leads to a decrease in forest areas. This study aims to monitor and predict forest land change in Phu Phan National Park using Landsat 5 TM images in 1998 and 2008, and Sentinel-2 MSI image in 2018. The atmosphere correction was conducted for satellite images. Land use changes were classified by object base image analysis (OBIA), include forest, agriculture, built-up, water and miscellaneous. The land use maps were measured, and then the CA-Markov model was applied to predict the forest change in a year of 2028. The results demonstrate that overall accuracy (OA) of land use maps is 85.6%, 88%, and 89.6% in 1998, 2008 and 2018, respectively. The land use map in 2018 is more accurate than others because the high-resolution image and current data input. Moreover, the use of reference data nowadays has high potential and reality for classification. During 1998 to 2008, forest and built-up extended 45.35% and 5.07%, respectively. Meanwhile, miscellaneous, agriculture, and water decreased by 41.38%, 21.92%, and 3.45%. During 2008 to 2018, agriculture, miscellaneous, and built-up slightly increased by 21.92%, 14.75%, and 12.26%, respectively while forest and water decreased by 48.82% and 2.24%, respectively. The predicted forest change in 2028 is a decrease by 10.49% due to land use change to miscellaneous, agriculture, built-up, and water area, as forest is likely to be trespassed for built-up and agriculture areas as a result of local population growth. The results of the study can be useful for planning and managing the national park in the future.

Augmenting Printed School Atlases with Thematic 3D Maps
Authors: Schnürer Raimund , Dind Cédric , Schalcher Stefan , Tschudi Pascal , Hurni Lorenz
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Digitalization in schools requires a rethinking of teaching materials and methods in all subjects. This upheaval also concerns traditional print media, like school atlases used in geography classes. In this work, we examine the cartographic technological feasibility of extending a printed school atlas with digital content by augmented reality (AR). While previous research rather focused on topographic three-dimensional (3D) maps, our prototypical application for Android tablets complements map sheets of the Swiss World Atlas with thematically related data. We follow a natural marker approach using the AR engine Vuforia and the game engine Unity. We compare two workflows to insert geo-data, being correctly aligned with the map images, into the game engine. Next, the imported data are transformed into partly animated 3D visualizations, such as a dot distribution map, curved lines, pie chart billboards, stacked cuboids, extruded bars, and polygons. Additionally, we implemented legends, elements for temporal and thematic navigation, a screen capture function, and a touch-based feature query for the user interface. We evaluated our prototype in a usability experiment, which showed that secondary school students are as effective, interested, and sustainable with printed as with augmented maps when solving geographic tasks.Details and results of our work are published in this article: https://doi.org/10.3390/mti4020023 1. In this presentation, we will give an overview about the key findings and lessons learnt from the research project. 1 Schnürer, R., Dind, C., Schalcher, S., Tschudi, P., and Hurni, L.: Augmenting Printed School Atlases with Thematic 3D Maps, Multimodal Technologies Interact., 2020, 4, 23
Key milestones of infographics evolution in cartography
Authors: Konicek Jakub
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Infographic is a popular term which resonates quite significantly in the world of the Internet for a long time. It became a very often used phrase not only in various forums, blogs, and websites, but also turned into a part of the scientific research presentation and later as a field of study in (not only) cartographic visualization as well. Either, the cartography is no exception. Many cartographers practically used this term and its generally known principles. Nevertheless, principles and its well-known essence are not officially and uniformly defined yet.The paper aims to present the evolution of infographics in time and its intersection and the usage focusing on cartography. The main aim is to figure out trends and milestones which are noticeable from the gradual evolution of infographics. The interests and activities of the professional scientific groups of the International Cartographic Association, as well as the thematic focus of the papers at the annual international conferences, confirm the growing popularity of the professional public.The case study figures out, through practical examples, when infographic has become a valuable part of cartographic creation and subject of study in cartographic research. Based on the available literature, professionally oriented forums and thematically focused articles at the Web of Science, the paper seeks to show an extended view of infographics. According to trendsetters, it is a popular design concept, nevertheless, it is still not given significant scientific attention from a professional point of view.The motivation for this research is to compile an evolution timeline of infographics, describe significant trends and define key milestones influencing its development, especially in the field of practical usage in cartography.

Maps of Attractiveness of European Regions
Authors: Čerba Otakar
Published: October 2020

Abstract. European society is facing many critical challenges. Traditional as well as social media, inform people about a particular crisis. The news titles during the last years have contained words such as COVID-19, drought, floods or migration. The society, including experts, call for a quick and straightforward solution of particular burning troubles. However, all of the problems afflicting contemporary Europe is much more complex. The regional development is a keystone of problems mentioned-above. Visions of regional development, as well as efficient cooperation and sharing knowledge, can prevent or limit the impact of various types of hazards and risks. Prosperous and vital regions can help with many burning problems threatening the human population such as climate change, poverty, hunger, health or clean energy. The information is a crucial commodity from the perspective of regional development. Such information has to be high-quality and reliable. The way of presentation and interpretation is also critical. Therefore the maps of the regional attractiveness (which is taken as a potential region) have been developed in the Polirural project. The article "Maps of Attractiveness of European Regions" presents two types of thematic maps of regional attractiveness: choropleth maps providing information on a level of attractiveness based on Rural Attractiveness Index (RAI) and chorochromatic maps showing similarities on regions calculated by clustering techniques. These maps cover NUTS 3 region in Europe. The target group for the developed map is very heterogeneous. It can cover policy-makers and decision-makers of particular regions; people focused on regional development and planning or investments, persons interested in entrepreneurship or citizen living in particular areas. Because of the variety of user group and limited experience with advanced cartographic products, the developed maps have to be simple, clear, comparable, intelligible and attractive.
A Prototype Geospatial Knowledge Graph for National Topographic Mapping
Authors: Varanka Dalia E.
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Knowledge graphs (KG) are a virtual layer connecting disparate databases into an interoperable framework. Though the application of KGs for enterprises are increasing, geospatial KG design is not common. This presentation describes U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research to build KGs for integrating geospatial and non-spatial attribute semantics of topographic data. Those geographic information system databases are composed of various feature types and metadata attributes organized various themes and stored in different data formats, such as geodatabases, flat-file spreadsheets, and raster images. The system being created tests two research objectives: 1) the feasibility of semantic technology approaches for geospatial data within the context of national topographic data and 2) the contribution to building a body of knowledge about system architecture for geospatial ontologies and linked open data. This presentation discusses the context of topographic data semantics, the problem and aims of building the system, and the integrated KG framework. The basic workflow and operations of the system architecture consisting of open-source software are described. The architecture modifies existing software with unique solutions such as performing GeoSPAQL queries with Postgres, a relational table datastore, and a map interface with extensions to support linked data queries as browseable graphs. As public spatial data infrastructure, the system is made available as a Docker Container on GitHub.

Next part of the article focuses on Missing Maps mapathons (meetings of volunteers who create open-source maps for MSF) and the way how they are organized in Brno, Czechia. Editing of the OpenStreetMap for the Missing Maps project has been recently introduced to usual remote sensing classes for students of Masaryk University in Brno. Information about this activity is also described.
Optimization of maps from public transport information systems
Authors: Vozenilek Vit
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Schematic maps still have a strong position in passenger information systems. Even at the time of easily accessible, individually available mobile applications for public transport journey planning and navigation. Their potential is in a unique graphic design that attracts the attention of all generations of passengers. To effectively use, schematic maps, it is appropriate to optimize their creation process and to pay attention to the user aspect using analytical approaches, such as those used in the paper. The paper dealt with analyzing the maps from public transport information systems. An emphasis is given the influence of schematization on the perception for increasing the effectiveness of the maps. More than 80 collected schematic maps were classified according to the schematic criteria and methods of expression. Attention was focused on user analysis. An eye-tracking experiment was performed on current maps as stimuli, of which 20 were for the free viewing and with 15 questions. It consisted of three types of questions on labels, lines, points, and overall network orientation. Testing with 15 respondents was preceded by pilot testing with five respondents. Statistical analysis of the experiment showed differences in the perception of maps by respondents and problematic aspects of methods of expression and their use in schematic maps. In addition, three questionnaires were compiled to look into the approach of users, the author's approach and the approach of transport organizations to the issue of the use of maps in passenger information systems. The last step of the analysis was a moderated interview with a focus group with five respondents. The results of these parts were used to formulate the optimization of mapping, which is presented in the form of nine steps of an effective mapping process. This proposed method was used to create a prototype map of the public transport system in Olomouc. The paper points out the possibilities of map creation, clearly defines the basic steps necessary to create an ideal schematic map and point out the fact that even in amateur conditions can be achieved satisfactory results. The aim is not to specify a standard or a literal manual. In the following paragraphs, only the basic steps and some possibilities of how to approach their solution are summarized, while still retaining space for the author's own graphic expression. The paper was compiled within the Czech Scientific Foundation project No 18-05432S „Spatial synthesis based on advanced geocomputation methods“.
The Burning Core: Using Heraclitus's Concept of anArcheof Fire to Examine Humanity's Connection with Nature in Cormac McCarthy'sThe Road
Authors: Kirkbride Jasmin
Published: October 2020

Treating Cormac McCarthy's The Road as an ecocritical work, this article uses Heraclitus's arche of fire as a new methodological lens through which to examine the text. In particular, it asks how readers can derive hope from such a materialistically bleak novel. Heraclitus was a Presocratic philosopher from fifth century BCE Greece. He was a material monist, who claimed that fire was the principle element of the universe, or arche: the preserving and destroying element from which the cosmos came, to which it will return, and by which it will be judged. This principality of fire is reflected in the supra-religious moralistic metaphor that “good guys” in The Road “carry the fire.” This interpretation challenges Daniel Luttrell's claim that fire in The Road aligns to the Promethean myth, demonstrating that Heraclitus's arche of fire may offer a more holistic interpretation of the metaphor, particularly when combined with Marcel D. DeCoste, Matthew Mullins, and Erik J. Wielenberg's theories of community as morality within The Road. Fire is shown to represent the intrinsic, ambiguous interconnectedness of humankind—and that the defining moral choice of The Road's inhabitants is simply whether they acknowledge it, both in terms of the community of humanity, and humanity's communion with nature.
Rick Wallach's Aboriginal Blood Meridian Or the Evening Redness in the West

Published: October 2020

Rick Wallach, founder of the Cormac McCarthy Society, first discovered the author in 1992, when he picked up a copy of Blood Meridian in Adelaide, Australia, and read it on an overnight train to Alice Springs. That began Wallach's deep engagement with McCarthy's work, which he would enthusiastically press upon friends and unsuspecting strangers. Here, Peter Jospyh tells the story of that auspicious meeting, and what happened to that original “Australian railroad copy” of Blood Meridian in its later years.
Exploring Maritime Engagement in the Early Bronze Age Levant: A Space/Time Approach
Authors: Safadi Crystal , Sturt Fraser , Blue Lucy
Published: October 2020

This article brings to light small-scale and everyday maritime activities through the consolidation of Early Bronze Age maritime-related material culture from the coastal Levant. By doing so, the research provides an alternative perspective on Early Bronze Age maritime activities, away from broad accounts of connectivity that neglect small-scale rhythms of coastal life. The application of temporally imbued spatial analyses serves to contextualize the material record for maritime activities in a wider sphere of coastal dynamics and interaction. Through an analysis of the whole Levantine coast, this article transcends the separation between the southern, central, and northern Levant. In this way, the sea acts as a unifying agent, a common denominator. By shifting perspectives toward the sea, emphasis is placed on the importance of maritime activities without which our understanding of Early Bronze Age coastal communities and broader Early Bronze Age developments, such as social complexity, is limited.
The Transformational Power of the Sea: Copper Production in Early Bronze Age Greece
Authors: Berg Ina
Published: October 2020

The sea tends to shape people's lives in a myriad of practical and symbolic ways. This article argues that it is therefore unsurprising that the sea also impacted on copper workers in the southern Aegean during the Early Bronze Age. Here, the sea was an integral element of the copper production, which is characterized by movement of metal across the sea from one manufacturing stage to the next—often over considerable distances requiring lengthy absences of the workers from their home communities, making metalworkers true maritime specialists alongside the more “typical” traders, fishermen, and seafarers. The distances traveled magnified the symbolic value of the raw materials as the object's geographic distance became converted into a symbolic value-added “exotic” distance. This value was further enhanced thanks to the mastery of skills required to traverse the sea, an element very different from land and intimately associated with forgetting, disposal, and death.
The Mechanics of Cultural Hybridization in the Southern Aegean during the Third Millennium BC
Authors: Vavouranakis Giorgos
Published: October 2020

The term “International Spirit” denotes the network of maritime communication and exchange in the southern Aegean during the third millennium BC, which is usually considered to be a relatively bounded sociohistorical phenomenon. This article exposes the need for understanding the International Spirit as a heterogeneous, dynamic, and open-ended field of social discourse. Such understanding is supported through the employment of recent advances in archaeological theory regarding cultural hybridization. It is suggested that the latter shares the same basic ways of operation with almost all other types of social communication. Therefore, the Early Bronze Age cemeteries in Attica, Euboea, or northern Crete, featuring assemblages with mixed cultural traits, should be considered as examples of such intense, and thus hybridizing, cultural discourse. The Early Cycladic communities may have pursued this type of interaction in order to balance between two pressing needs: subsistence through agropastoral activity and social reproduction through seafaring and exchange.
A imaginação na teoria da alma de Christian Wolff
Authors: Ferreira de Souza Juliano Bonamigo
Published: October 2020

Este artigo analisa a especificidade da imaginação enquanto faculdade da alma na obra do metafísico Christain Wolff (1679-1754). Limitaremos nosso recorte às obras Metafísica alemã (1720), Discurso preliminar sobre a filosofia em geral (1728), Psychologia empirica (1732) e Psychologia rationalis (1734). (i) Orimeiramente investigamos o lugar de ambas as Psicologiæ no interior do sistema de Wolff, ressaltando a centralidade do estudo da alma [Seele]. (ii) Num segundo momento, analisamos as principais características da alma e sua vis repræsentativa como operador da relação entre a sensibilidade e as faculdades da mente. (iii) Por fim, analisamos os modos de produção de phantasmata e de associação por meio dos quais a imaginação opera na alma. Concluimos mostrando que é em Wolff, contrariamente à tradição que o antecedera, que a imaginação aparece como uma faculdade rigorosamente regulada pelas leis do intelecto, e não pelo costume.
A Alma da (e na) Geografia Física de Kant
Authors: Rennó Ribeiro Santos Leonardo
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo examina a natureza da investigação antropológica que Kant executou nos seus cursos sobre geografia física. Se, por um lado, a sua relação com a física empírica é assegurada, por outro, a incorporação de ambos os objetos do sentido interno, alma e ser humano, na abordagem cosmológica da investigação empírica da natureza humana gera questionamentos sobre a articulação disciplinar (entre física empírica, geografia física, psicologia empírica e antropologia) e metodológica (entre especulação e pragmatismo) pressupostas no Conhecimento do Mundo. Será mostrado que a investigação antropológica de Kant desde o início procurou assegurar uma combinação sistemática entre diferentes procedimentos científicos que visam o conhecimento da natureza humana e que este é justamente o caso do emprego geográfico do conceito ontológico de alma no esclarecimento da diversidade de temperamentos e de gostos da espécie humana.

Published: October 2020

The restoration of altered and degraded ecosystems will only be successful if research studies generate biological, ecological and physiological knowledge about the species of different Brazilian ecosystems. In order to produce quality seedlings, ecophysiological knowledge of the initial phase of the species is essential, since artificial shading can interfere with the growth rate and quality of the seedling. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different levels of shading on the emergence, initial growth and photosynthetic metabolism of Ormosia arborea. The experiment was carried out with 30% and 70% shade and in full sun. At 60 days after sowing, non-destructive (gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence) and destructive (growth measures) analyzes were performed. 70% shade provides greater emergence, initial growth, gas exchange and photosynthetic efficiency of PS II. Cultivation at 0% shade (full sun) is not suitable for this species.

Published: October 2020

Colubrina glandulosa has potential for reforestation of disturbed areas. Seedlings inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be produced with biosolids from Sewage Treatment Plants. This study aimed to evaluate the response of Colubrina glandulosa seedlings to isolated or mixed inoculation of different AMF species on a biosolid-based substrate under greenhouse conditions. The experimental design was completely randomized, with 32 replicates (seedlings)/treatment and five treatments: (1) control or absence of inoculation (CT); (2) inoculation with Dentiscutata heterogama (DH); (3) inoculation with Gigaspora margarita (GM); (4) inoculation with Rhizophagus clarus (RC); (5) inoculation with the mixture of the three AMF species (MT). We evaluated height and collar diameter of the seedlings at 30, 60, 90, 120, and 140 days after the experiment installation. We evaluated shoot dry biomass (SDM), root dry biomass (RDM), and total dry biomass; SDM / RDM ratio; Dickson Quality Index; relative increments in height, collar diameter, and shoot biomass; nutrient content (N, P, K) in the shoots and roots; efficiency of absorption and utilization of nutrients; rate of root mycorrhizal colonization, at 140 days. In general, the highest values of growth and nutrition variables occurred in the MT treatment, which was recommended, in comparison with CT, DH, GM, and RC. Colonization rates were low (≤ 20 %), regardless of the mycorrhizal inoculum, due to the high levels of phosphorus in the biosolid.

Published: October 2020

The objective of this study was to assess the patterns of seed dispersal syndromes of woody plants from nine forest fragments distributed at different altitude levels on the Araripe plateau, in Pernambuco, Brazil. For data collection, we divided the altitudes within the region into three categories: lower level (altitudes ≤600 m); intermediate level (600< altitudes <750 m); and higher level (altitudes ≥750 m). We registered nine fragments, three per altitude level. In each of them, we distributed 20 rectangular sampling units with 250 m², totaling a sampling area of 4.5 ha. We quantified, collected, and identified woody plants with a diameter at breast height higher than or equal to 0.1 m (DBH 1.30 m ≥0.10 m). We characterized the dispersal syndrome according to the characteristics of the fruits and seeds and based on a literature review. In the whole region, we sampled 6,987 individuals, distributed in 35 families, 82 genera, and 153 species. Approximately 41% of all individuals are dispersed by animals, 37% by the plant’s own mechanisms, and 21% by the wind. In terms of dispersal, 47% of species were classified as zoochorous, 23% as autochorous, and 14% as anemochorous. Seed dispersal patterns vary according to altitude levels, with higher regions tending to present greater representativeness of biotic dispersers and lower ones, abiotic.

The objective of this work was to analyze the shear strength of edge-glued panels (EGP) made from the H. dulcis Thunb. wood thermally modified by the VAP HolzSysteme® process. Initially, the Hovenia dulcis samples were heat-annealed by the VAP HolzSysteme® process, and then bonded with Resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF), Melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF), Isocyanate Polymer Emulsion (EPI) and Polyvinylacetate (PVAc) and submited to pre-treatments for dry, humid and external environment and without pre-treatment to evaluate the shear strength, 5th percentile and failure in the wood. It was observed a decrease in the shear strength of the thermorrectified H. dulcis wood for all adhesives. All adhesives obtained results superior to the minimum required by the standard EN13354 (2009) for the wood without pre-treatment as for the wood without thermoregulation as well as for the heat treated wood, and may be used for non-structural purposes. However, for the external environment (three cycles) only the MUF adhesive obtained value that meets the minimum standards of the standard, in this way, it is suggested to glue the EGP of H. dulcis without thermortification and with thermorrectification using the MUF adhesive, which has achieved better performance offering greater resistance in dry, wet and external environments.

The traffic of machines is the main cause of compaction of forest soils, causing soil deformations, due to the pressures exerted by the machines, both at the time of cutting and in the transshipment of wood. In this sense, this work had as objective to evaluate soil compaction, caused by the traffic of machines, in the mechanized thinning operation of Eucalyptus saligna Smith. This study was carried out in forest stands, in the municipality of Butiá, RS. Changes in soil physical properties were evaluated in three treatments: with no traffic; after cutting; and after wood transshipment. The forest inventory and collection of undisturbed soil samples were carried out to determine microporosity, macroporosity and bulk density. The experimental design was the completely randomized, in a bifactorial arrangement, with subdivided plots. For the comparison of the physical attributes, the Tukey test (p≤0.05) of significance was used. The results evidenced increase in soil density values, mainly in the treatment after transshipment and decrease in macropores, with values close to and below the limit considerable as detrimental to the development of the plants. The knowledge of soil deformations caused by forest operations contributes to the improvement of future processes aiming to guide the physical quality of the soil, in order to offer beneficial conditions to the growth of the plants.

The Atlantic Forest is intensely fragmented and this fragmentation process has caused an expressive increase of forest remnants and, consequently, increased edge effect with different physical-biological intensities in the transition areas between the patch and the matrix. This study used landscape metrics to understand and analyze how different edge effect distances affect the structure of the forest landscape in the Barra Seca River basin (ES), in 1985, 1996, 2006 and 2016. Remote sensing images were processed and using the Bhattacharya algorithm with supervised classification, the forest patches of the study area were classified and isolated. Landscape ecology metrics were computed with Patch Analyst and V-Late 2 Beta extensions. The forest patches were divided into four size classes as follows smaller than 5 ha (C1); between 5 and 10 ha (C2); between 10 and 100 ha (C3); and over 100 ha (C4). The edge effect simulation using landscape metrics was performed using the edge effect distances of 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 140, and 200 m. Forest fragmentation increased between 1985 and 2016 while the number of patches greater than 100 ha decreased. Currently, the basin landscape consists mainly of small patches, which have larger relative areas affected by edge effect while many patches smaller than 10 ha are completely dominated by edge effect for distances greater than 60 meters. The edge effect simulation for different distances allowed verifying the intensification of the edge effect on the forest patches of the Barra Seca River basin.

Thailand is the major exporter of durian products worldwide. Durian is the most important fruit and it’s called the king of fruits in Thailand. The economy of Thailand majorly bases on the exporting of durian to other related countries. The major objective of this study to find out the determinants of marketing performance that affect the durian product exporting in the south of Thailand. Respondents of this study are employees working in exporting companies working in the south of Thailand. Data is collected through a drop-down survey method and a questionnaire is used. After it, Smart PLS used for analysis. Results revealed that determinants of marketing performance like (Product capability, Promotion, and Distribution capability) have a positive, significant impact on exporting of durian. Two mediators including attitude towards exporting have a positive effect but the second motivation to export has no effect on durian export. Attitude towards exporting mediates the relationship between distribution capability and exporting of durian. Motivation to export has no mediation between promotion capability and export of durian. The study recommends to exporters that for increasing export to other countries they should focus on marketing performance determinants.

A Novel Method to Improve the Efficiency of Classification Phase of a Decision Tree
Authors: Janapati Naga Muneiah , Ch D V Subba Rao
Published: October 2020

So far, most of the research on classification algorithms in machine learning has been focused only on improving the training speed and further improving the technical performance evaluation measures of the constructed models. There is no focus on improving the runtime efficiency of the classification phase which is much required in some critical applications. In this paper, we are considering the computation complexity of a decision tree’s classification phase as the major criterion. A novel approach has been proposed to predict the class label of an unseen instance using the decision tree in less time than the regular tree traversal method. In the proposed method, the constructed decision tree is represented in the form of arrays. Then, the process of finding the class label is carried out by performing the bitwise operations between the elements of the arrays and test instance. Empirical results on various UCI data sets proved that the proposed method outperforms the standard method and five other benchmark classifiers and its classification is at least four times faster than the regular method.
Reforma educacional e prática docente: o discurso sobre a apropriação dos seus fundamentos na escola
Authors: Andrade Silva Valéria , Russo Miguel Henrique
Published: October 2020

O texto sintetiza dados e discussões de uma pesquisa realizada em uma escola da rede estadual de ensino paulista para apurar como se deu a apropriação, pelos professores, dos fundamentos e das ideias centrais da reforma educacional promovida pelo governo Serra através de um Plano de Ação que foi acompanhado pelo programa “São Paulo faz escola” que trata da dimensão curricular. A coleta de dados envolveu entrevistas, observações e análise documental dos Planos de Ensino. Os resultados revelam que os docentes fizeram uma apropriação bastante parcial dos conceitos fundamentais da proposta e que desenvolvem uma prática que confirma o pressuposto de que o currículo é a ação desenvolvida na prática escolar mediada pela apropriação que os docentes fazem das ideias dos reformadores.
