  1. 1. Measuring the Utility of Synthetic Data : An Empirical Evaluation of Population Fidelity Measures as Indicators of Synthetic Data Utility in Classification Tasks

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för matematik och datavetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Alexander Florean; [2024]
    Keywords : Synthetic Data; Machine Learning; Population Fidelity Measures; Utility Metrics; Synthetic Data Quality Evaluation; Classification Algorithms; Utility Estimation; Data Privacy; Artificial Intelligence; Experiment Framework; Model Performance Assessment; Syntetisk Data; Maskininlärning; Population Fidelity Mätvärden; Användbarhetsmätvärden; Kvalitetsutvärdering av Syntetisk Data; Klassificeringsalgoritmer; Användbarhetsutvärdering; Dataintegritet; Artificiell Intelligens; AI; Experiment Ramverk; Utvärdering av Modellprestanda;

    Abstract : In the era of data-driven decision-making and innovation, synthetic data serves as a promising tool that bridges the need for vast datasets in machine learning (ML) and the imperative necessity of data privacy. By simulating real-world data while preserving privacy, synthetic data generators have become more prevalent instruments in AI and ML development. READ MORE

  3. 2. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Linnéa Eriksson; [2023-04-20]
    Keywords : soil C:N; forest production; 15N isotope dilution; gross N mineralisation; ammonium; soil carbon; soil nitrogen; root exudates; stoichiometric decomposition; boreal forests; priming; microbial C limitation;

    Abstract : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effectiveness of the Costa Rican Payments for Ecosystem Services program in mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions: Trends in carbon stocks 2012-2020

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Noelia Solano Guindon; [2023]
    Keywords : Payments for ecosystem services; ecosystem services; carbon stocks; greenhouse gas emissions; mitigation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. READ MORE

  5. 4. Biomassatillväxt och koldioxidinlagring med mineralnäring och bionäring i norra Sverige

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : David Berglund; [2023]
    Keywords : organiskt gödsel; kolbildning; norrbotten;

    Abstract : Denna studie är en uppföljning på ett mastersarbete som är del av ett större projekt som heter ”Kolsänkor Norrbotten”. Projektet handlar om att jämföra bionäring (avloppsslam) och mineralnäring på 22 skogsbestånd utspridda i Norrbotten. Dessa bestånd gödslades mellan 2006 och 2008. READ MORE

  6. 5. Vibrational signals as indicators of soil fauna health? : A novel approach to environmental monitoring of ants

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Joel Fransson Forsberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Vibrations; Formica ants; Vibrometer; Vibrational signals; Imidacloprid; Before-After-Control-Impact;

    Abstract : Soil fauna provides processes of crucial importance for ecosystem functions, but our ability to observe their actions often depend on destructive methods where the integrity of the studied environment (the soil) is compromised. In this study, I develop and test a new generation of environmental monitoring tools that utilize vibrations made by soil macrofauna to inform about their performance and health. READ MORE
