Profinite Groups and Cohomology

In mathematics, a group is a set (an accumulation of items) together with a certain operation. For example: the integers with addition, the symmetries of an equilateral triangle. Being one of the simplest algebraic structures, groups are ubiquitous in mathematics and have applications in other disciplines. Informally, a group is called profinite if it can […]

Broad-scaled Avian Biodiversity Assessment with Passive Acoustic Monitoring and Artificial Intelligence

Many bird species are highly vocal, and this provides opportunities to monitor avian biodiversity by acoustic surveys. In recent decades, the use of Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) has gained popularity as a mechanism to census birds through passive acoustic monitoring. Further, automatic algorithms for identifying bird species by their vocalizations have been developed to improve […]
