New insights into the drainage of inundated ice-wedge polygons using fundamental hydrologic principles [PDF]
The pathways and timing of drainage from the inundated centers of ice-wedge polygons in a warming climate have important implications for carbon flushing, advective heat transport, and transitions from methane to carbon dioxide dominated emissions. Here,

Flat area characteristics of polygons circumscribing parabolic figures [PDF]
The works elucidates the extremum areas of the polygons circumscribing parabolic figures. It is shown that the ratio of the areas of the polygons circumscribed near parabolic figures to the areas of the corresponding figures always remains a constant ...

RBFCUB: A numerical package for near-optimal meshless cubature on general polygons
In this paper we improve the cubature rules discussed in [12] for the computation of integrals by radial basis functions (RBFs). More precisely, we introduce in the context of meshless cubature a leave-one-out cross validation criterion for the ...

Understanding the relative importance of vertical and horizontal flow in ice-wedge polygons [PDF]
Ice-wedge polygons are common Arctic landforms. The future of these landforms in a warming climate depends on the bidirectional feedback between the rate of ice-wedge degradation and changes in hydrological characteristics.

SEGMENTATION OF SINGLE STANDING DEAD TREES IN HIGH-RESOLUTION AERIAL IMAGERY WITH GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORK-BASED SHAPE PRIORS [PDF]
The use of multispectral imagery for monitoring biodiversity in ecosystems is becoming widespread. A key parameter of forest ecosystems is the distribution of dead wood.

The Hyperplanes of the M 24 Near Polygon [PDF]
Consider the unique Steiner system \(S(5,8,24)\) on a set \(\Omega\) of 24 symbols. Let \(\Gamma = (P,L)\) be the partial linear space (with point set \(P\) and line set \(L\)) obtained by taking the 759 octads as points, and the triples of pairwise disjoint octads as lines. The space \(\Gamma\) is the (unique) regular near hexagon of order \((s,t,t_2)

Occurrence and recurrence of forest fires in Itatiaia National Park between 2008 and 2016
Some ecosystems are adapted to fire disturbances, but as fires become recurrent in the same area, fire can cause drastic landscape changes resulting in loss of biodiversity.
