Drought-induced wildfires have increased in frequency and extent over the tropics. Yet, long-term (greater than 10 years) responses of Amazonian lowland forests to fire disturbance are poorly known. To understand post-fire forest biomass dynamics, assess time required for fire-affected recover pre-disturbance levels, we combined 16 single with 182 multiple census into a unique large-scale dataset across Brazilian Amazonia. We quantified biomass, mortality wood productivity burned plots along...
Abstract Wildfires in humid tropical forests have become more common recent years, increasing the rates of tree mortality that not co-evolved with fire. Estimating carbon emissions from these wildfires is complex. Current approaches rely on estimates committed based static emission factors through time and space, yet cannot be assigned to specific thus are comparable other temporally-explicit sources. Moreover, gross estimates, whereas long-term consequences require an understanding net...
This paper presents a performance comparison between known propagation Models through least squares tuning algorithm for 5.8 GHz frequency band. The studied environment is based on the 12 cities located in Amazon Region. After adjustments and simulations, SUI Model showed smaller RMS error standard deviation when compared with COST231-Hata ECC-33 models.
In this work, a new method employs Bioinspired Computational (BIC) optimization from the genetic algorithm, bat and flower pollination algorithm. Robust accurate modeling of input parameters adjusts propagation models Stanford University Interim, Electronic Communication Committee, Floating Interception that consider environments with characteristics specifically urban regions in Amazon. The lack research related to development for Amazonian motivated work. Thus, application proves...
Metal-composite hybrid joints with through-thickness pins are high-performing, but a study is needed on manufacturing resin-infused composites large pin angles. Single-pin metal-composite were investigated angles of 0°, 20°, 45° and 80°. Microstructural characterisation revealed the insertion zone varied significantly angle along length. With increasing angle, diamond-like resin-rich became triangular, asymmetric, reduced in size to effectively zero. Other complex novel features observed as...
The communication channel is a critical part of the process information degradation. In 4K ultra-resolution video transmission domain, crucial where degradation occurs, inevitably leading to errors during reception. To enhance in terms fidelity, advanced technologies such as digital broadcasting terrestrial (DVB-T) and its evolutionary successor, second generation (DVB-T2), are utilized mitigate effects data errors. Within this scenario, research presents an innovative methodology for...

Background: Most work in Amazonia has concentrated on dense lowland evergreen rain forest, a vegetation type with >40% cover. Large parts of southern are covered by open physiognomically dominated high abundance palms. This received relatively little attention so far. Understanding the key predictors above-ground biomass (AGB) across scales is important to accurately quantify impacts land cover change terrestrial carbon budget.Aims: We assessed structure Amazonian forests, Brazil, relative...
