Chemical effects on ecological interactions within a model-experiment loop by Lamonica, Dominique, Charles, Sandrine, Clément, Bernard, Lopes, Christelle

“…For that, we developed a dynamic model to describe the functioning of a microcosm exposed to a contaminant and to discriminate direct and indirect effects. Then, we get back from modelling to experimentation in order to identify which of the collected data have really been necessary and sufficient to estimate model parameters in order to propose a more efficient experimental design for further investigations. …”

Application of Machine Learning Techniques to Distinguish between Mare, Cryptomare, and Light Plains in Central Lunar South Pole−Aitken Basin by Frank C. Chuang, Matthew D. Richardson, Jennifer L. Whitten, Daniel P. Moriarty, Deborah L. Domingue

“…K-Means identified four units, one associated with dark smooth maria, two not associated with any particular features, and a fourth associated with edge effects. To further discriminate between the two nonassociated units, the K-Means unit map and an LRO morphologic basemap were used to select multiple training areas for three defined units in the MLC algorithm: mare, cryptomare, and cryptomare/light plains. …”
