River water temperature quantiles as thermal stress indicators: Case study in Switzerland
Ecological Indicators, 2021 The variability of the river water thermal regime has important consequences on the environment and aquatic habitat. In 25 independent and identically distributed stations in Switzerland, local frequency analysis is used to quantify extreme river ...

Distributed odor source localization [PDF]
IEEE Sensors Journal, 2002 This paper presents an investigation of odor localization by groups of autonomous mobile robots. First, we describe a distributed algorithm by which groups of agents can solve the full odor localization task. Next, we establish that conducting polymer-based odor sensors possess the combination of speed and sensitivity necessary to enable real world ...

Detecting Locally Distributed Predicates [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems, 2011 In this article, we formalize locally distributed predicates , a concept previously introduced to address specific challenges associated with modular robotics and distributed debugging. A locally distributed predicate (LDP) is a novel construction for representing and detecting distributed properties in sparse ...

Locally modular lattices and locally distributive lattices [PDF]
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1974 A locally modular (resp. locally distributive) lattice is a lattice with a congruence relation and each of whose equivalence class has sufficiently many elements and is a modular (resp. distributive) sublattice. Both the lattice of all closed subspaces of a locally convex space and the lattice of projections of a locally finite von

Regional distribution shifts help explain local changes in wintering raptor abundance: implications for interpreting population trends. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Studies of multiple taxa across broad-scales suggest that species distributions are shifting poleward in response to global climate change. Recognizing the influence of distribution shifts on population indices will be an important part of interpreting ...

Local influence diagnostics in elliptical multilevel models [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasLocal influence diagnostics for elliptical multilevel models are proposed in this paper. This class of models involves the use of continuous symmetric distributions, including heavy-tailed error models, and the normal distribution as a particular case ...
