Springer2018Analysis of the sensitivity of the hydromorphological index of diversity, HMID
Anton Schleiss, Walter Gostner, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Severin Stähly, Christopher Robinson
Hydromorphological conditions are a key factor for the habitat diversity in riverine ecosystems. The Hydromorphological Index of Diversity (HMID) is a tool to quantify the habitat diversity in a river reach based on local flow depths and flow velocities. T ...
2018A template for constructing Bayesian networks in forensic biology cases when considering activity level propositions
Christophe Champod, Alex Biedermann
The hierarchy of propositions has been accepted amongst the forensic science community for some time. It is also accepted that the higher up the hierarchy the propositions are, against which the scientist are competent to evaluate their results, the more d ...
