Estimating nonstationary inputs from a single spike train based on a neuron model with adaptation by Hideaki Kim, Shigeru Shinomoto

“…Moreover, because the direct state-space method is computationally infeasible for a data set comprising thousands of spikes, we further develop a practical method for transforming instantaneous firing characteristics back to input parameters. The instantaneous firing characteristics, represented by the firing rate and non-Poisson irregularity, can be estimated using a computationally feasible algorithm. …”

Discovering causal models for structural, construction and defense-related engineering phenomena by M.Z. Naser

“…To this end, this paper starts with a brief review of the principles of causality and then adopts four causal discovery algorithms, namely, PC (Peter-Clark), FCI (fast causal inference), GES (greedy equivalence search), and GRaSP (greedy relaxation of the sparsest permutation), have been used to examine four phenomena, including predicting the load-bearing capacity of axially loaded members, fire resistance of structural members, shear strength of beams, and resistance of walls against impulsive (blast) loading. …”

Methods to Reduce Forest Residue Volume after Timber Harvesting and Produce Black Carbon by Deborah S. Page-Dumroese, Matt D. Busse, James G. Archuleta, Darren McAvoy, Eric Roussel

“…Pile burning is currently used on many forest sites as the preferred method for residue disposal because piles can be burned at various times of the year and are usually more controlled than broadcast burns. In many cases, fire can be beneficial to site conditions and soil properties, but slash piles, with a large concentration of wood, needles, forest floor, and sometimes mineral soil, can cause long-term damage. …”
