Then, as loudly as if I’d been carrying a restless rooster in the lightweight pack on my back, the ear-splitting sound of Max Trumbull’s recorded cockerel crow pierced the morning quiet, signaling the start of the 93rd Comrades Marathon just as it has every Comrades Marathon for the pa...
The consistent monitoring of trees both inside and outside of forests is key to sustainable land management. Current monitoring systems either ignore trees outside forests or are too expensive to be applied consistently across countries on a repeated bas
Data splitting and model development The dataset was split up into two groups, training and test groups were created by randomly assigning the dataset to each group. 80% of the entire dataset was made up of the training group. The training group was used as a basis for developing the predic...
A random subset of features is considered for splitting at each decision tree node, introducing diversity among the trees. Predictions from multiple decision trees are then aggregated to make the final prediction, often done by averaging predictions from all trees in the forest for regression tasks....
Here we use the terciles of poverty, splitting regions into the groups of low, medium, and high poverty as defined above. The vertical dashed line represents the average lockdown date in the countries included in our sample. Download: Download high-res image (414KB) Download: Download full-...
Coetzer’s [41] explanations for crises of identity also resonated with participant responses; he noted that the transmission of trauma shatters fundamental assumptions of the self as worthy, and that self-image is damaged by the internalization of parental splitting. The interviewees linked ...
The purpose of splitting the variables using these two techniques was to transform the data into a common scale without distorting the differences between the value ranges. This was particularly important for our study of financial inclusion, where the variables can operate on very different scales ...
The East African Rift System (EARS) is one of the geologic wonders of the world, a place where the earth's tectonic forces are presently trying to create new plates by splitting apart old ones. In simple terms, a rift can be thought of as a fracture in the earth's surface that widens...
Further security for lenders, the AfDB says, can be achieved by splitting the power company into operating and asset units with separate legal entities. The operating company sells and maintains solar home systems, wh...
At Driefontein, a Y-piece flow splitter was attached to the borehole splitting the fissure water flow over two identical trapping filters. Eight species were recovered from filter 1 and only six species from filter 2 (Table 1). Three species are identical between both filters. Although the ...
