   Abstract : This licentiate thesis summarizes the first half of my PhD on the theme of management of fragmented landscapes. The thesis applies – and reflects on the use of – network analysis of connectivity in relation to landscape planning. READ MORE

5. 3. An e-Science Approach to Genetic Analysis of Quantitative Traits

   Author : Mahen Jayawardena; Sverker Holmgren; Erwin Laure; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; QTL Analysis; Grid Computing; Global Optimization; e-Science; Beräkningsvetenskap; Scientific Computing;

   Abstract : Many important traits in plants, animals and humans are quantitative, and most such traits are generally believed to be affected by multiple genetic loci. Standard computational tools for mapping of quantitative traits (i.e. READ MORE

6. 4. Artificial neural networks : applications in morphometric and landscape features analysis

   Author : Amir Houshang Ehsani; Fredrich Quiel; Wolter Arnberg; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

   Abstract : In this thesis a semi-automatic method is developed to analyze morphometric features and landscape elements based on Self Organizing Map (SOM) as a unsupervised Artificial Neural Network algorithm. Analysis and parameterization of topography into simple and homogenous land elements (landform) can play an important role as basic information in planning processes and environmental modeling.
