During the past decades, convolutional neural network (CNN)-based models have achieved notable success in remote sensing image classification due to their powerful feature representation ability.However, the lack of explainability during the decision-making process is a common criticism of these high-capacity networks.Local explanation methods that
The soil microbiomics of intact, degraded and partially-restored semi-arid succulent thicket (Albany Subtropical Thicket)
This study examines the soil bacterial diversity in the Portulacaria afra-dominated succulent thicket vegetation of the Albany Subtropical Thicket biome; this biome is endemic to South Africa.The aim of the study was to compare the soil microbiomes between intact and degraded zones in the succulent thicket and identify environmental factors which c
Proposing the Combinational Model of Service Quality and Analytic Network for Ranking Service Provider Enterprises: Case Study of Insurance Enterprises of Central Insurance
This research introduces an integrated method for ranking different service providing institutions based on their service quality Fridge Light Cover level.In this way the suitable criteria for assessing the service quality have been identified.In order to recognize the differences and gap analysis several hypotheses have been assumed.In these hypot

Morphological Phylogenetic Analysis of Two Early-Diverging Genera of Bromelioideae (Bromeliaceae)
Abstract Bromelia includes 66 species, grouped in three subgenera: Bromelia, Distiacanthus and Karatas.The genus is one of the earlier divergent groups within Bromelioideae, a subfamily with innumerable problems of generic delimitation.Considering that few phylogenetic studies have included more than one species of Bromelia, the objectives of this
