description: Marine phytoplankton primary production is a process of paramount importance not only in biological oceanography, but also in a wider perspective, due to its relationship with oceanic food webs, energy fluxes, carbon cycle and Earth’s climate. As field measurements of this process are both expensive and time consuming, indirect approaches, which can estimate primary production from remotely sensed imagery are the only viable solution. We developed a depth-resolved model of marine phytoplankton primary production using an Artificial Neural Network, namely a three-layer perceptron trained with the Error Back-Propagation algorithm. Despite numerous variables could be useful to estimate primary production, we chose to use predictive variables that can be acquired by remote sensing in order to enhance the practical value of the model. Indeed, using exclusively this type of predictors in combination with a depth-resolved approach allows to expand the two-dimensional view from satellite images to the estimated three-dimensional distribution of phytoplankton primary production. Since the vertically integrated values of this process are the basis for any connection to other levels of the pelagic food web, it is worth noting that, once integrated, the primary production estimates of this depth-resolved model are more accurate than those obtained from a similar vertically integrated approach. We also tried to improve the accuracy of the primary production estimates using constraints during the training procedure. Those constraints were based on theoretical knowledge of the marine photosynthesis process. Accordingly, the training phase has been modified in order to add penalty terms to the solutions which were not compliant with the constraints. For instance, one of the constraints acts as a selection tool for the shape of the modelled production profile. The above-mentioned approach not only enhanced the ecological soundness of the artificial neural network predictions. In fact, the constrained version of the model also explained a larger share of variance than the original one.

description: Social skills are of key importance in everyday and work life. However, the way in which they are typically assessed via self-report questionnaires has one potential downside; self-reports assess individuals’ global self-concepts, which do not necessarily reflect individuals’ actual social behaviors. In this research, we aimed to investigate how self-concepts assessed via questionnaires relate to skill expression assessed via behavioral observations after short interpersonal simulations. For this, we used an alternative behavior-based skill assessment approach designed to capture expressions of predefined social skills. Self- and observer ratings were collected to assess three different social skills: agency (i.e., getting ahead in social situations), communion (i.e., getting along in social situations), and interpersonal resilience (i.e., staying calm in social situations). We explored how these skills were related to self-concepts by differentiating between a classic personality measure (i.e., Big Five Inventory 2; BFI-2) and a novel skill questionnaire (i.e., Behavioral, Emotional, and Social Skills Inventory; BESSI). The results (N = 137) showed that both personality and skill self-concepts predicted self-rated skill expression, with the BESSI showing incremental validity. For both personality and skills self-concepts, the relationships with observer-rated skill expression were significant for agency but not for communion or interpersonal resilience. We discuss these results and highlight the theoretical and practical importance of differentiating between skill self-concepts and actual skill expression.

description: Indigenous forests and savannah provide numerous benefits for rural communities and are utilised as a source of firewood, building material and for woodcraft production. Currently, there is insufficient information on the magnitude of human pressure affecting one such important forest community, namely Sand Forest, particularly in communal areas. Sand Forest is regarded as being critically endangered and is considered to hold various endemic species. The fragmented patch occurrence of this rare and valuable forest type, combined with the lack of necessary knowledge and prior interest in its management, has resulted in the Sand Forest being subjected to uncontrolled utilisation within communal areas. The temporal monitoring of the spatial structures of forest areas, such as Sand Forest, within landscapes has been recommended in order to detect and model deteriorating trends in the forest structures and functioning. Remote sensing is critical in the generation of data that enables the identification and quantification of degraded and deforested areas. This study aims to contribute towards understanding the effects that could emerge from trends of informal Sand Forest wood harvesting, quantified through a spatial-temporal analysis. Quantifying the impact of a declining canopy closure resulting from selective wood harvesting required the use of remote sensing techniques and procedures that could potentially account for this effect. In addition, the study envisaged predicting the future changes of Sand Forest that will take place as a result of continued informal wood harvesting. The ability of trajectory analysis to predict potential changes based on observed and quantified trends provides a new dynamic to conservation and management strategies. In understanding where and how much Sand Forest will be lost in the forthcoming years, more appropriate and accurate recommendations on conservation and management can be made. Furthermore, priority areas can be more readily identified for both conservation and for management intervention.

description: The scientific methodology of mathematical models and their credibility to form the basis of public policy decisions have been frequently challenged. The development of novel methods for rigorously assessing the uncertainty underlying model predictions is one of the priorities of the modelling community [1]. Striving for novel uncertainty analysis tools, I present the Bayesian calibration of process -based models as a methodological advancement that warrants consideration in ecosystem analysis and biogeochemical research [2]. This modelling framework combines the advantageous features of both process -based and statistical approaches; that is, mechanistic understanding that remains within the bounds of data- based parameter estimation. The incorporation of mechanism improves the confidence in predictions made for a variety of conditions, whereas the statistical methods provide an empirical basis for parameter value selection and all ow for realistic estimates of predictive uncertainty [3]. Other advantages of the Bayesian approach include the ability to sequentially update beliefs as new knowledge is available, the rigorous assessment of the expected consequences of different management actions, the optimization of the sampling design of monitoring programs, and the consistency with the scientific process of progressive learning and the policy practice of adaptive management. I illustrate some of the anticipated benefits from the Bayes ian calibration framework, well suited for stakeholders and policy makers when making environmental management decisions, using the Hamilton Harbour and the Bay of Quinte – two eutrophic systems in Ontario, Canada – as case studies [4].

description: Combining remote sensing and field data allows for the detection of some invasive alien plant species with an adequate accuracy. Especially the use of satellite data for larger areas or UAS (unmanned aerial system) data for smaller sites may provide alternatives to classical field mapping approaches. A main advantage is that satellite or UAS data is potentially more cost-efficient then the use of for example hyperspectral data, which was frequently applied in research on the detectability of invasive species in the past. This study discusses the possibilities and limitations of remote sensing to contribute to the detection of invasive alien plant species in Germany. Taking into account previous studies on the topic, we estimate the potential for a successful detection of relevant invasive plant species in Germany. Main criteria to determine the potential for detection are the species characteristics (size, detectable traits, habitat) as well as their similarity to other native species. For 19 of the 42 species examined, the use of remote sensing data is most probably successful, mainly for larger species and species with characteristic features such as colorful flowers or leaves. For another 10 species the detection might eventually be feasible. For about 13 species, especially hydrophytes living below the water surface and other species lacking any characteristic features, the detection is currently not possible. We can conclude that remote sensing remote may offer efficient solutions for a small or large scale monitoring of certain invasive plant species or to control the management success and thus support decision-making. In general, more research is needed to develop cost-efficient and user-friendly solutions.

description: LifewatchWB contributes to the European Research Infrastructure Consortium for biodiversity and ecosystem research (Lifewatch) by providing online tools for the visualization of environmental variables. It consists in two Web portals (www.uclouvain.be/lifewatch) providing data about i) weekly anomalies of the dynamic land cover properties (snow cover and vegetation greenness) and ii) high resolution characterization of ecotopes. The topic of this abstract is the ecotope visualization interface. Ecotopes are the smallest ecologically functional units. They can be mapped by intersecting a large number of thematic layers (soil type, land cover, topographic types). However, this creates a lot of polygons with an exponentially increasing number of categorical values combinations. The visualization and analysis of those polygons is therefore difficult. On the other hand, the LifewatchWB ecotopes consist in irregular polygons derived from geographic object-based image analysis (grouping adjacent pixels of similar properties to create a partition of irregular polygons). Each polygon is then characterized using a set of continuous fields: quantitative variables (climate, elevation, slope, artificial light, contextual variables…) are either interpolated or averaged at the level of the ecotopes depending on the resolution of the input layers; categorical variables (soil types, land cover types…) are provided as proportions inside the ecotopes. The ecotope database is an open data layer currently available for the Walloon Region (Belgium). It consists in 1.2 million polygons with more than 80 quantitative fields. Those fields cannot be visualized together, therefore several visualization tools are provided on the interface: 1) each variable can be visualized individually in grey level, 2) any set of three variables can be visualized as a color composite and 3) queries based on potentially all variables can provide binary outputs. In addition, an online tool is available to extract the values of the ecotope characteristics in a set of point locations for further analysis in other softwares. With its polygon-based structure that is homogeneous with respect to the land cover and the topography, ecotopes provides meaningful landscape units with a large set of precomputed variables. Those variables are easy to visualize in a WebGIS and have been combined with species observations to run habitat and biotope models.

Properties of Young Pulsar Wind Nebulae: TeV Detectability and Their Pulsar Properties

description: Among dozens young pulsar wind nebulae, some have been detected in TeV γ-rays (TeV PWNe), while others have not (non-TeV PWNe). The TeV emission detectability is not correlated either with the spin-down power or with the characteristic age of their central pulsars, and it is an open problem what determines the detectability. To study this problem, we investigate spectral evolution of five young non-TeV PWNe, 3C58, G310.6-1.6, G292.0+1.8, G11.2-0.3 and SNR B0540-69.3. We use a spectral evolution model which has been developed to be applied to young TeV PWNe in our previous works. TeV γ-ray flux upper limits of non-TeV PWNe give upper or lower limits on parameters, such as the age of the PWN and the fraction of the spin-down power going to the magnetic energy injection (the fraction parameter). Combined with other independent observational and theoretical studies, we can guess a plausible value of the parameters for each object. For 3C58, we prefer the parameters with an age of 2.5 kyr old and the fraction parameter of 3.0x10^{-3}, although the spectral modeling alone does not rule out a shorter age and a higher fraction parameter. The fraction parameter of 3.0x10^{-3} is also consistent for other non-TeV PWNe and then the value is regarded as common to young PWNe including TeV PWNe. Moreover, we find that the intrinsic properties of the central pulsars are similar, 10^{48-50}erg for the initial rotational energy and 10^{42-44}erg for the magnetic energy (2x10^{12} - 3x10^{13}G for the dipole magnetic field strength at their surfaces). The TeV detectability is correlated with the total injected energy and the energy density of the interstellar radiation field around PWNe. Except for G292.0+1.8, a broken power-law injection of the particles well reproduces the broadband emission from non-TeV PWNe.

description: Forests cover about 30 percent of the earth surface, they are the most biodiverse terrestrial ecosystems and they are at the base of many ecological processes and services. The loss of forest biodiversity makes in risk the benefits that the humans derived from theme. The assessment of biodiversity is therefore an important and essential goal to achieve, that however can result difficult, time consuming and expensive if estimated through field data. Through the remote sensing it is possible to estimate in a more objectively way the species diversity, using limited resources, covering broad surfaces with high quality and standardized data. One of the method to estimate biodiversity from remote sensing data is through the Spectral Variation Hypothesis (SVH) , which states that the higher the spectral variation of an image, the higher the environmental heterogeneity and the species diversity of that area. The SVH has been tested using different indexes and measures; recently in literature, the Rao’s Q index, applied to remote sensing data has been theoretically tested as a new and innovative spectral variation measure. In this paper for the first time, the SVH through the Rao’s Q index has been tested with an NDVI time series derived from the Sentinel 2 (with a spatial resolution of 10m) and Landsat 8 satellites (spatial resolution of 30m) and correlated with data of species diversity (through Shannon’s H) collected in forest. The results showed that the Rao’s Q is a grateful spectral variation index. For both the sensors, the correlation with the field data had the same tendency as the NDVI trend, reaching the highest value of correlation (through the coefficient of determination R2) in June, when the NDVI was at its peak. In this case the correlation reached a value of R2=0.61 for the Sentinel 2 and of R2=0.45 for the Landsat 8, showing that the SVH is scale and sensor dependent. The SVH tested with optical images through the Rao’s Q index showed grateful and promising results in alpine forests and could lead to as much good results with other remote sensing data or in other ecosystems.

description: We discuss the electronic structure, lattice dynamics and electron-phonon interaction of newly discovered superconductor LaO$_{0.5}$F$_{0.5}$BiS$_{2}$ using density functional based calculations. A strong Fermi surface nesting at $\mathbf{k}$=($π$,$π$,0) suggests a proximity to charge density wave instability and leads to imaginary harmonic phonons at this $\mathbf{k}$ point associated with in-plane displacements of S atoms. Total energy analysis resolves only a shallow double-well potential well preventing the appearance of static long-range order. Both harmonic and anharmonic contributions to electron-phonon coupling are evaluated and give a total coupling constant $λ\simeq 0.85$ prompting this material to be a conventional superconductor contrary to structurally similar FeAs materials.

description: Various plant traits that affect the spectral properties of plant canopies can be retrieved using optical earth observation data and thus enable to map plant functional properties (Kattenborn 2017). From a remote sensing perspective, the mechanistic response of these optically relevant plant traits is already quite well understood and formulated in process-based models, i.e. canopy radiative transfer models (RTMs). The latter model the reflectance of plant properties using the sun and observer (sensor) orientation and defined plant traits. However, the relationship of these traits towards plant functioning was not systematically assessed. Thus, the present study examines how spectrally relevant traits (those implemented in PROSAIL) are related to two established plant functional schemes, i.e. the leaf economic spectrum (LES) and CSR plant strategies. The trait expressions were measured in-situ in 42 cultivated herbaceous plants. As expected these plant traits indeed relate to the assessed gradients of plant functioning (LES and CSR). As expected traits related to leaf properties (e.g. pigments and dry matter content) show clear correspondence to the LES. Traits related to the canopy structure show no or very little correspondence to the LES but clearly relate to CSR plant strategies which reflect plant functioning at the level of plant individuals or communities. Multiple trait expressions such as LAI, canopy foliage mass (LMA * LAI), faPAR and fAPAR integrated over a growing season feature comparable or even higher correlations to the CSR space than traits that were originally used to allocate CSR scores (e.g. LMA or LDMC). Our results therefore highlight that spectrally relevant plant traits are a valuable alternative or addition to traits traditionally used in trait-based ecology. These traits might not only enrich the suite of potential indicators to characterize plant functional gradients using EO data; they also allow to establish physical and therefore explicit relationships which advance our theoretical understanding as well as the operationalization of such knowledge into mapping and monitoring approaches.

description: Climate change is exerting a profound influence on the timing of seasonal development of vegetation, i.e. phenology, worldwide - and particularly in mountain grasslands. A key feature controlling the resilience of alpine plant communities to climate change is phenological plasticity: the ability to express different phenologies within a given plant assemblage can help the community to better cope with climate shifts and extremes. Recent work has shown a tight relationship between phenology and certain plant functional traits, especially those associated to competition and growth rate. Phenocameras proved to be an effective mean to monitor community-level phenology by retrieving average phenological signals across a portion of the field of view of digital cameras. Here we used pixel-level information to quantify spatially-explicit phenology from multi-year imagery acquired over 5 alpine grasslands in the western Alps. Concurrently, based on site-specific species inventories we retrieved information about functional traits from the global plant trait database TRY. The objectives of this work are: 1) to assess the link between phenological diversity and plant functional trait diversity in alpine grasslands; 2) to test the consistency in space and time of the functional diversity-phenological diversity relationship. A total of 19 year-sites of phenocam images were processed to obtain maps of phenological metrics. We focused on either spring (start of season, moment of greenness peak, spring recovery rate), autumn (end of season, start of senescence, autumn senescence rate) or full season (length of season, greenness integral) metrics. To describe the spatial distribution of phenological metrics we used indexes such as the Moran Index and the Entropy index. The FD R package was used to compute multidimensional functional diversity. We will illustrate the traits that best correlate with phenological diversity across the 5 different grasslands included in this study and discuss inter-year and inter-site variability in the relationships in the light of climate variability.

description: Regularization of the inverse problem is a complex issue when using Near-field Acoustic Holography (NAH) techniques to identify the vibrating sources. This paper shows that, for convex homogeneous plates with arbitrary boundary conditions, new regularization schemes can be developed, based on the sparsity of the normal velocity of the plate in a well-designed basis, i.e. the possibility to approximate it as a weighted sum of few elementary basis functions. In particular, these new techniques can handle discontinuities of the velocity field at the boundaries, which can be problematic with standard techniques. This comes at the cost of a higher computational complexity to solve the associated optimization problem, though it remains easily tractable with out-of-the-box software. Furthermore, this sparsity framework allows us to take advantage of the concept of Compressive Sampling: under some conditions on the sampling process (here, the design of a random array, which can be numerically and experimentally validated), it is possible to reconstruct the sparse signals with significantly less measurements (i.e., microphones) than classically required. After introducing the different concepts, this paper presents numerical and experimental results of NAH with two plate geometries, and compares the advantages and limitations of these sparsity-based techniques over standard Tikhonov regularization.

description: Feature selection is an important preprocessing step in machine learning and data mining. In real-world applications, costs, including money, time and other resources, are required to acquire the features. In some cases, there is a test cost constraint due to limited resources. We shall deliberately select an informative and cheap feature subset for classification. This paper proposes the feature selection with test cost constraint problem for this issue. The new problem has a simple form while described as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). Backtracking is a general algorithm for CSP, and it is efficient in solving the new problem on medium-sized data. As the backtracking algorithm is not scalable to large datasets, a heuristic algorithm is also developed. Experimental results show that the heuristic algorithm can find the optimal solution in most cases. We also redefine some existing feature selection problems in rough sets, especially in decision-theoretic rough sets, from the viewpoint of CSP. These new definitions provide insight to some new research directions.

description: The electronic structure of the ferroelectric crystal, NaNO$_2$, is studied by means of first-principles, local density calculations. Our ab-initio, non-relativistic calculations employed a local density functional approximation (LDA) potential and the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO). Following the Bagayoko, Zhao, Williams, method, as enhanced by Ekuma, and Franklin (BZW-EF), we solved self-consistently both the Kohn-Sham equation and the equation giving the ground state charge density in terms of the wave functions of the occupied states. We found an indirect band gap of 2.83 eV, from W to R. Our calculated direct gaps are 2.90, 2.98, 3.02, 3.22, and 3.51 eV at R, W, X, Γ, and T, respectively. The band structure and density of states show high localization, typical of a molecular solid. The partial density of states shows that the valence bands are formed only by complex anionic states. These results are in excellent agreement with experiment. So are the calculated densities of states. Our calculated electron effective masses of 1.18, 0.63, and 0.73 mo in the Γ-X, Γ-R, and Γ-W directions, respectively, show the highly anisotropic nature of this material.

description: Biochemical oscillation systems often consist of negative feedback loops with repressive transcription regulation. Such systems have distinctive characteristics in comparison with ordinary chemical systems: i) the numbers of molecules involved are small, ii) there are typically only a couple of genes in a cell with a finite regulation time scale. Due to the fluctuations caused by these features, the system behavior can be quite different from the one obtained by rate equations, because the rate equations ignore molecular fluctuations and thus are exact only in the infinite molecular number limit. The molecular fluctuations on a free-running circadian system have been studied by Gonze et al. (2002) by introducing a scale parameter $Ω$ for the system size. They consider, however, only the first effect, assuming that the gene process is fast enough for the second effect to be ignored, but this has not been examined systematically yet. In this work, we study fluctuation effects due to the finite gene regulation time by introducing a new scale parameter $τ$, which we take as the unbinding time of a nuclear protein from the gene. We focus on the case where the fluctuations due to small molecular numbers can be ignored. In simulations on the same system studied by Gonze et al., we find the system is sensitive to the fluctuation in the transcription regulation; the period of oscillation fluctuates about 30 min even when the regulation time scale $τ$ is around 30 s, that is even smaller than 1/1000 of its circadian period. We also demonstrate that the distribution width for the oscillation period and the amplitude scales with $\sqrtτ$, and the correlation time of the oscillation scales with $1/τ$ in the small $τ$ regime. The relative fluctuations for the period are about half of that for the amplitude, namely, the periodicity is more stable than the amplitude.
