Tree Core Analysis with X-ray Computed Tomography06:56

Tree Core Analysis with X-ray Computed Tomography

1.6K
Here we show how to process tree cores with an X-ray computed tomography toolchain. Except for chemical extraction for some purposes, no further physical lab treatment is needed. The toolchain can be used for biomass estimations, for obtaining MXD/tree-ring width data as well as for obtaining quantitative wood anatomy data.

The Tree of Life - Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryotes

37.8K
The “tree of life” describes the evolution of life and the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The root of the tree is the common ancestor to all life on Earth. All other species radiate from this point, much like the branches of a tree. The numerous tips of these branches on the tree of life represent every living, or extant, species. Extinct species, which are species that no longer exist, can be found towards the center of the tree. Currently, these organisms, both...

Survival Tree01:19

Survival Tree

391
Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

Tree Identification: How To Use a Dichotomous Key12:06

Tree Identification: How To Use a Dichotomous Key

87.9K
Source: Laboratories of Margaret Workman and Kimberly Frye - Depaul University
A dichotomous key is a tool that identifies items in nature, such as leaves. This method is based on the idea of choosing between two characteristics. The word dichotomous comes from two Greek words that mean “to divide into two parts.” In a dichotomous key for leaf identification, each pair of phrases describes different features of the leaf. Only one of the phrases correctly applies to the leaf being...

Area of Science:

  • Computational theory
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Computer science

Background:

  • Functions can be built from simpler ones via composition, forming hierarchical structures.
  • Binary rooted trees can represent these function hierarchies, with nodes performing operations on child outputs.

Discussion:

  • This work introduces necessary constraints, formulated as nonlinear partial differential equations, for functions executable on a given tree structure.
  • These constraints are demonstrated to be sufficient for analytic and bit-valued functions.

Key Insights:

  • Identifies a finite set of discrete functions implementable by specific tree structures.
  • Enables comparison of function spaces across different neural network architectures.
  • Connects computation graph structure to implementable functions.
