As forest fires are becoming a recurrent and severe issue in China, their temporal-spatial information and risk assessment are crucial for forest fire prevention and reduction. Based on provincial-level forest fire data during 1998–2017, this study adopts principal component analysis, clustering analysis, and the information diffusion theory to estimate the temporal-spatial distribution and risk of forest fires in China. Viewed from temporality, China’s forest fires reveal a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. Viewed from spatiality, provinces characterized by high population density and high coverage density are seriously affected, while eastern coastal provinces with strong fire management capabilities or western provinces with a low forest coverage rate are slightly affected. Through the principal component analysis, Hunan (1.33), Guizhou (0.74), Guangxi (0.51), Heilongjiang (0.48), and Zhejiang (0.46) are found to rank in the top five for the severity of forest fires. Further, Hunan (1089), Guizhou (659), and Guanxi (416) are the top three in the expected number of general forest fires, Fujian (4.70), Inner Mongolia (4.60), and Heilongjiang (3.73) are the top three in the expected number of large forest fires, and Heilongjiang (59,290), Inner Mongolia (20,665), and Hunan (5816) are the top three in the expected area of the burnt forest.

Studies have reported that electroencephalogram signals in Alzheimer’s disease patients usually have less synchronization than those of healthy subjects. Changes in electroencephalogram signals start at early stage but, clinically, these changes are not easily detected. To detect this perturbation, three neural synchrony measurement techniques: phase synchrony, magnitude squared coherence, and cross correlation are applied to three different databases of mild Alzheimer’s disease patients and healthy subjects. We have compared the right and left temporal lobes of the brain with the rest of the brain areas (frontal, central, and occipital) as temporal regions are relatively the first ones to be affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, electroencephalogram signals are further classified into five different frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha beta, and gamma) because each frequency band has its own physiological significance in terms of signal evaluation. A new approach using principal component analysis before applying neural synchrony measurement techniques has been presented and compared with Average technique. The simulation results indicated that applying principal component analysis before synchrony measurement techniques shows significantly better results as compared to the lateral one. At the end, all the aforementioned techniques are assessed by a statistical test (Mann-WhitneyUtest) to compare the results.

Kepadatan dan penyebaran sumber daya ikan di perairan banyak dipengaruhi oleh variasi kondisi oseanografinya. Untuk mengkaji interaksi antara kondisi oseanografi dengan sebaran spasial ikan pelagis di Laut Jawa, telah dilakukan penelitian hydro acoustic dengan menggunakan KR. Bawal Putih III pada 17 Oktober-11 November 2017. Akuisisi data akustik menggunakan multi beam Simrad ME (70-120 kHz) dengan posisi transduser dipasang pada lunas kapal. Parameter lingkungan (oksigen, pH, salinitas, klorofil, suhu) diukur menggunakan CTD SBE 19 plus V2 dan parameter oseanogafi fisik (arah dan kecepatan arus) menggunakan ARM current meter, keduanya diturunkan secara vertikal sesuai kedalaman pada 48 stasiun. Analisa korelasi antara parameter oseanografi dengan kelimpahan ikan dan distribusi spasial menggunakan analisis statistik PCA (Principal Component Analysis). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan densitas ikan pelagis dipengaruhi secara berturut-turut oleh salinitas, oksigen, klorofil, pH dan suhu. Urutan ini didasarkan pada jarak dan kedekatan terhadap garis yang dibentuk faktor lingkungan terhadap titik pusat korelasi. Komponen lingkungan yang memiliki interaksi langsung dengan kelimpahan ikan pelagis adalah salinitas dan oksigen. Kedua faktor ini merupakan faktor utama dalam kegiatan osmoregulasi dan pembentukan energi untuk tubuh ikan, sementara keempat faktor lingkungan lainnya (klorofil pH, suhu dan kecepatan arus) berkorelasi secara parsial terhadap keberadaan ikan pelagis.The density and distribution of fish resources in the waters are much influenced by variations in oceanographic conditions. To examine interaction between oceanographic condition with spatial distribution of pelagic fish in Java Sea, hydroacoustic research was done using KR. Bawal Putih III on October 17 to November 11, 2017. Acoustic data acquisition used Simrad ME multi beam (70-120 kHz) with the position of the transducer installed on the keel. Environmental parameters (oxygen, pH, salinity, chlorophyll, temperature) were measured using the SBE 19 plus V2 CTD and physical oceanographic parameter (current direction and speed) using the ARM current meter, both are lowered vertically according to depth at 48 station. Correlation analysis between oceanographic parameter with fish abundance and spatial distribution using PCA (Principal Component Analysis) statistical analysis. Results show that density of pelagic fish was influenced respectively by salinity, oxygen, chlorophyll, pH and temperature. This sequence based on distance and proximity to the line formed by environmental factors towards the center of correlation. The environmental components that have a direct interaction with the abundance of pelagic fish are salinity and oxygen. These two factors are the main factors in osmoregulation and energy formation for fish bodies, while the other four environmental factors (chlorophyll pH, temperature and current velocity) correlate partially to the presence of pelagic fish.

Data from Indian BAPMoN stations were analyzed using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) by examining broadly the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of the ions, from mineral and gaseous sources, observed in rainwater samples collected over the Indian BAPMoN stations over along period (1976-87), The results show that the pH of rainwater can be generally explained In terms of the concentration of SO.-2 , NO3 -1, CI-l, Ca+2 and Na+1 ion~, However, other mechanisms could determine the overall nature of the Interactions, These mechanisms have become more clear by performing principal component analysis.

The characterization of heavy metal polluted abandoned mining sites is a complicated assignment due to the variable spatial distribution of the pollutants, therefore complex integrated method is required in order to assess precisely the amount and the distribution of the contaminants. The examined area is flotation sludge reservoir of abandoned Pb-Zn mining site with serious heavy metal contamination. located in Gyöngyösoroszi, Northern Hungary.The hyperspectral image of the flotation sludge is obtained by using a Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer DAIS 7915, in the frame of DLR HySens first Hungarian hyperspectral flight campaign (21/08/2002). Parallel to the flight campaign heavy metal content of soil samples were examined from the area of the flotation sludge. The analysis of hyperspectral data was verified by the examination of mine tailing samples by FPXRF (Field Portable X-ray Fluorescence spectrometry) (NITON XL-703).Determinations of heavy metal containing minerals are based on the spectral profiles of the pixels of the area with using USGIS standard spectral profiles of the examined materials (galena, pyrite, sphalerite, goethite and jarosit). Applying the Spectral Angle Mapper with BandMax classification the distribution of minerals (galena, pyrite, sphalerite, goethite, jarosit) in the area was defined. The mineral formation occurs especially at the levees and the barren places of the Szárazvölgyi flotation sludge reservoir. Based on the statistic results of the samples, principal component analysis and correlation coefficient between the different metal content of the samples were calculated. The highest correlations were found between Pb-Zn, Fe-Zn and between Fe-Pb. This prove the results of the principal component analysis, where usually Pb, Zn, Fe introduce the main component. Canopy analysis was also carried out with the hyperspectal image in order to classify the differences between vegetation types at the Szárazvölgy flotation sludge reservoir and analyse the applicability of it. Supervised classification methods were used to distinguish 8 vegetation types based on the spectral properties of the area. The results of the classifications were compared to a ground truth image, based on ortophoto, topographic map, and GPS based field data collection. According to results of the comparison, the paralellpiped classification method is proved to be appropriate method based on the overall accuracy of canopy classification, which was 54% due to heterogeneity of the vegetation.  The results of hyperspectral data and FPXRF analysis suggest that Pb, Zn and Fe containing minerals have similar spatial distribution in the examined and barren area. Based on this study hyperspectral remote sensing is likely to be an effective tool for the characterization and modeling the distribution of Pb, Zn and Fe containing minerals at the examined heavy metal polluted sites. Further more, based on the vegetation analysis plant species for phytoremediation can be defined.

In order to find out the topographic structure in alpha wave activity, the principal component analysis method was applied to 17 channel scalp EEGs. Three kind of topographic structures were obtained from the factor loadings of principal components as follows: frontal-occipital, centoral or lateral activity. These structures may be related to the mechanism of alpha activity on the brain.
