LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY MAPPING BASED ON PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION OF MULTIPLE KERNEL RELEVANCE VECTOR MACHINES: CASE OF A LOW HILL AREA IN SICHUAN PROVINCE, CHINA

Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Based on Particle Swarm Optimization of Multiple Kernel Relevance Vector Machines: Case of a Low Hill Area in Sichuan Province, China

In this paper, we propose a multiple kernel relevance vector machine (RVM) method based on the adaptive cloud particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to map landslide susceptibility in the low hill area of Sichuan Province, China.In the multi-kernel structure, the kernel selection problem can be solved by adjusting the kernel weight, which dete

Pluralism, authority and legitimation of the creed: institutionalized and uni-versalist religions in the road of the new times

Starting from the affirmation of religious-cultural pluralism as consolidated ethos and normative basis of the contemporary societies, I will reflect on the challenges posed by it to religious-cultural institutions and to the type of essentialist and naturalized Panama Hat foundation that they foment individually and socially.My main argument consi

Deep sequencing of Brachypodium small RNAs at the global genome level identifies microRNAs involved in cold stress response

Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs having large-scale regulatory effects on plant development and stress responses.Extensive studies of miRNAs have only been performed in a few model plants.Although miRNAs are proved to be involved in plant cold stress responses, little is known for winter-habit monocots.Brachypodium d
