The Edwards to Gulf Conservation Blueprint - Habitat Management Prioritization

Prioritization for maintenance of intact habitat (i.e., habitat quality rating of Good or Very Good), based on local scale ecological integrity, degree of threats faced, potential conservation opportunities, and conservation value of surrounding landscape. In contrast to ecological integrity ratings; threat, opportunity and landscape rankings are largely based on the range of values of any given indicator across the geography, sorted by quantile. There are some exceptions, particularly for indicators used to develop threat rankings (e.g., urban development risk).Prioritization for restoration of degraded habitat (i.e., habitat quality rating of Fair or Poor), based on local scale ecological integrity, potential...

AI Supported Maintenance and Reliability System in Wind Energy Production

The paper describes the result of the research in the fields of supervision, failure detection and prognosis, control, maintenance planning and decision support performed for ensuring high level availability of wind turbines and wind farms. This activity is realized in the frame of the EU 7th Framework project ReliaWind: Reliability focused research on optimizing Wind Energy systems design, operation and maintenance: Tools, proof of concepts, guidelines & methodologies for a new generation. Wind turbines are relatively complex electro-mechanical systems, their smooth functioning is an important economical factor. The handling of this complexity is supported by various, applied artificial intelligence techniques...
