Description:
This paper aims to synthesise the literature on machine learning (ML) and big data applications for mental health, highlighting current research and applications in practice. We employed a scoping review methodology to rapidly map the field of ML in mental health. Eight health and information technology research databases were searched for papers covering this domain. Articles were assessed by two reviewers, and data were extracted on the article's mental health application, ML technique, data type, and study results. Articles were then synthesised via narrative review. Three hundred papers focusing on the application of ML to mental health were identified. Four main application domains emerged in the literature, including: (i) detection and diagnosis (ii) prognosis, treatment and support (iii) public health, and (iv) research and clinical administration. The most common mental health conditions addressed included depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. ML techniques used included support vector machines, decision trees, neural networks, latent Dirichlet allocation, and clustering. Overall, the application of ML to mental health has demonstrated a range of benefits across the areas of diagnosis, treatment and support, research, and clinical administration. With the majority of studies identified focusing on the detection and diagnosis of mental health conditions, it is evident that there is significant room for the application of ML to other areas of psychology and mental health. The challenges of using ML techniques are discussed, as well as opportunities to improve and advance the field.

The main objectives of this study were to investigate: (i) the distribution of exotic plant species in flooded and control (unflooded) areas in relation to a 1997 episodic flooding event and (ii) the influence of grazing in flooded and unflooded open and fenced plots on wed colonization.

This huge tree stump was at Mount Square Top, north of Foster. It was 80 feet 6 inches in circumference. In the early days, it was used as a church, school and public hall.

Description:
In semi-arid north-west Victoria, Slender Cypress-pine (Callitris gracilis) is an important tree hollow forming species for hollow dependent fauna, particularly the Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo (Lophocroa leadbeateri). Long-term management of the Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo must be based on an understanding of the age distribution of Slender Cypress-pine within important habitat areas and the age at which the trees form suitable nesting hollows. This project involved an investigation of the Slender Cypress-pine population within the Pine Plains section of Wyperfeld National Park, north-west Victoria. The objectives of the project were to determine the relationship between stem diameter and age of Slender Cypress-pine, and investigate the age distribution of the Slender Cypress-pine population within Pine Plains. Determination of the relationship between stem diameter and stem age will enable the determination of the number of years trees require to start forming hollows, and to form large hollows suitable for Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo breeding.

Description:
"The pre-settlement distribution and character of Wimmera Buloke woodlands are described based on historical data including early parish plans. It is suggested the open structure of these woodlands was maintained by relatively frequent fire. The floristic composition of the most intact Wimmera Buloke woodland remnants was intensively surveyed. Five floristic communities are described based on computer-based analysis of species presence data. Eight 'pre-settlement Buloke woodland types' are described based on surface soil texture categories and average annual rainfall zones. Native daisies, chenopods and shrubs are components of the understory that differentiate the 'pre-settlement Buloke woodland types'. [...] A series of experiments was undertaken with the aim of determinig the factors responsible for the paucity of Allocasuarina luehmannii regeneration in remnant Wimmera bushland."
