Apache OpenNLP - Welcome to Apache OpenNLP. Artificial Intelligence Index. EcoSim: Ecosystem Simulation. Ecological modeling is a still growing field, at the crossroad between theoretical ecology, mathematics and computer science. Ecosystem models aim to characterize the major dynamics of ecosystems, in order to synthesize the understanding of such systems, and to allow predictions of their behavior. Because natural ecosystems are very complex (in terms of number of species and of ecological interactions) ecosystem models typically simplify the systems they are representing to a limited number of components.
This simplification allows for the development of computer-aided ecosystem simulations that are tractable. One of the main interests of such ecosystem simulations is that they offer a global view of the evolution of the system, which is difficult to observe in nature. However, the scope of ecosystem simulations has always been limited by the computational possibilities of their time. A run of the simulation EcoSim from time step 1 to 1660. More videos of the simulation are available. Species Habitat Modeling. Maxent software for species habitat modeling Most current version: 3.3.3k (see new features below).
Use this site to download software based on the maximum-entropy approach for species habitat modeling. This software takes as input a set of layers or environmental variables (such as elevation, precipitation, etc.), as well as a set of georeferenced occurrence locations, and produces a model of the range of the given species. Further description of this approach can be found in: Steven J. Terms of use: This software may be freely downloaded and used for all educational and research activities. Please provide your name, institution and email address prior to downloading. Discussion Group There is a google discussion group for users of this software at Tutorial A tutorial explaining how to use this software is provided here as a word document. Translations: Datasets Here are the datasets used in the Ecological Modeling paper referenced above:
Raingod. Panopticism. Foucault and the Codes of Cyberspace Mark Winokur We cannot agree on an historical point of origin for the Internet. (Bletchley Park? The telegraph? The diorama? The cultural-critical "app" I choose for discussing this poststructural indeterminacy is Michel Foucault's notion of panopticism: first, because it is one of the more straightforward poststructuralist notions; second, because it is not just an important and conventional touchstone within the community of poststructural critics, but has also made its way into popular discourse; third, because it already has a familiar application within Internet studies; and fourth, and most importantly, because the Internet and the panopticon make significantly similar assumptions about the creation of the subject within discourse.
Panopticism 1.0 Foucault's Panopticon For Foucault, history is dynamic, and authority and coercion define the subject in different ways at different times. The Gaze.
