3D tree reconstruction algorithm contributes to a new era of urban planning
Purdue UniversityTrees compete for space as they grow. A tree with branches close to a wall will develop differently from one growing on open ground.
Now everyone from urban planners and environmental scientists to homeowners may access a new algorithm for tree reconstruction developed at Purdue University to see how the trees will shade an area or learn what a tree will look like in 20 years. Purdue computer scientists and digital foresters used artificial intelligence to generate this first-ever database, which contains three-dimensional models of more than 600,000 real trees.

War-related post-traumatic stress disorder: How to effectively help the victims?
SWPS UniversityPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects approx. 10 percent of road accident participants and as many as half of people who have experienced war, and victims of rape or violence. PTSD negatively affects the quality of life; it is also associated with greater costs of healthcare. That is why it is so important to prevent the effects of traumatic experiences, and if PTSD or other mental problems do occur - treat victims using evidence-based methods, argue scientists from SWPS University and the University of Warsaw.
