Advocating better habitat use and selection models in bird ecology
(Sociedade Brasileira de Ornitologia, 2018-06)
Studies on habitat use and habitat selection represent a basic aspect of bird ecology, due to its importance in natural history, distribution, response to environmental changes, management and conservation. Basically, a ...
Modeling Water Yield: Assessing the Role of Site and Region-Specific Attributes in Determining Model Performance of the InVEST Seasonal Water Yield Model
(MDPI, 2018-10-23)
Simple hydrological models, such as the Seasonal Water Yield Model developed by the Natural Capital Project (InVEST SWYM), are attractive as data requirements are relatively easy to satisfy. However, simple models may ...
DEVS-based Formalism for the Modeling of Routing Processes
(Springer Heidelberg, 2021-10-31)
The Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) is a modular and hierarchical Modeling and Simulation (M&S) formalism based on systems theory that provides a general methodology for the construction of reusable models. ...
Computer-aided design for building multipurpose routing processes in discrete event simulation models
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Good domain-modeling enables an appropriate separation of concerns that improves quality properties in the simulation models, such as modifiability and maintainability. In this paper, the interplay of abstraction and ...
Hermite Gaussian model for quantum states
(Elsevier Science, 2019-10-15)
In order to characterize quantum states within the context of information geometry, we propose a generalization of the Gaussian model, which we called the Hermite-Gaussian model. We obtain the Fisher-Rao metric and the ...
Comparison of Two Detailed Models of Aedes aegypti Population Dynamics
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016-10)
The success of control programs for mosquito-borne diseases can be enhanced by crucial information provided by models of the mosquito populations. Models, however, can differ in their structure, complexity, and biological ...
Age-specific mortality analysis of the dry forest kissing bug, Rhodnius neglectus
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-06)
Age-specific mortality patterns can be very different across insects with different life histories. Some holometabolous insects (like mosquitoes, fruit flies) show a pattern where mortality rate decelerates at older ages, ...
Robust Identification of PWL-Wiener Models: Use in Model Predictive Control
(Planta Piloto de Ingeniería Química, 2003-06)
In this paper a robust identification strategy for Wiener like models constituted by a linear dynamic block a in series with a Piecewise Linear (PWL) functions as the nonlinear static gain is presented. The proposed ...
Ross-Macdonald models: Which one should we use?
(Elsevier Science, 2020-07)
Ross-Macdonald models are the building blocks of most vector-borne disease models. Even for the same disease, different authors use different model formulations, but a study of the dynamical consequences of assuming different ...
Wiener and Hammerstein uncertain models identification
(Elsevier Science, 2009-07)
Block-oriented models have proved to be useful as simple nonlinear models for a vast number of applications. They are described as a cascade of linear dynamic and nonlinear static blocks. They have emerged as an appealing ...
