We consider learning tree patterns from queries extending
our preceding work [Amoth, Cull, & Tadepalli,
1998]. The instances in this paper are unordered
trees with nodes labeled by constant identifiers.
The concepts are tree patterns and unions
of tree patterns (unordered forests) with leaves labeled
with constants or variables. A...
Landscape level habitat alterations can have different effects on different species. Species that are more highly specialized for some important aspect of their natural history are expected to be more sensitive to habitat alteration than are those that are generalists. The Northern Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium gnoma) has been suggested as a...
Knowledge about vegetation patterns and ecological processes in unmanaged, late-successional
watersheds is needed to provide a foundation for forest management strategies
aimed at conserving native biodiversity. I examined influences of environmental variability
and disturbance history on forest structure and composition in the Cummins Creek
Wilderness, located on the central Oregon...
An important by-product of the kraft pulping process, black liquor is currently used in most pulp mills to produce steam in a recovery boiler. Two important black liquor characteristics are viscosity and burning (firing) characteristics, which determine the operating efficiency of the recovery boiler. Kraft black liquor is a complicated...
