Optimizing SAR data processing and thresholding for forest change detection: an application for early deforestation warnings on eastern Amazonia [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The present work proposes a prototype for an operational method for early deforestation detection of cloudy tropical rainforests. The proposed methodology makes use of Sentinel-1 SAR data processed into the Google Earth Engine platform for flag the areas where the probability of recent deforestation is high.

Reproductive isolation between phylogeographic lineages scales with divergence [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Phylogeographic studies frequently reveal multiple morphologically-cryptic lineages within species. What is yet unclear is whether such lineages represent nascent species or evolutionary ephemera. To address this question, we compare five contact zones, each of which occurs between eco-morphologically cryptic lineages of rainforest skinks from the ...

Machine Learning-based Estimation of Forest Carbon Stocks to increase Transparency of Forest Preservation Efforts [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 An increasing amount of companies and cities plan to become CO2-neutral, which requires them to invest in renewable energies and carbon emission offsetting solutions. One of the cheapest carbon offsetting solutions is preventing deforestation in developing nations, a major contributor in global greenhouse gas emissions.

Isolate First, Then Share: a New OS Architecture for Datacenter Computing [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 This paper presents the "isolate first, then share" OS model in which the processor cores, memory, and devices are divided up between disparate OS instances and a new abstraction, subOS, is proposed to encapsulate an OS instance that can be created, destroyed, and resized on-the-fly.
