Assessing landscape functions with broad-scale environmental data: insights gained from a prototype development for Europe.
We examine the advantages and disadvantages of a methodological framework designed to analyze the poorly understood relationships between the ecosystem properties of large portions of land, and their capacities (stocks) to provide goods and services (flows). These capacities (stocks) are referred to as landscape functions. The core of our assessment is a set of expert- and literature-driven bin...
متن کاملAssessing Assessment Literacy: Insights From a High-Stakes Test
This study constitutes an attempt to see what Language assessment literacy (LAL) isfor three groups of stakeholders, namely LAL test developers, LAL instructors, andLAL test-takers. The perceptions of the former group were derived from the contentanalysis of the latest version of the LAL test, and those of the latter 2 groups wereassessed through a survey designed by the researcher. Participant...
متن کاملInsights Gained from Realistic Simulations
This chapter discusses the insights gained from simulations using realistic propagation model. Speci cally the performance in terms of coverage and achievable bit rates, and topologies formed are dealt with. It is shown that the topologies formed in mesh networks pave way for development of new protocols. Speci cally, an e cient paging protocol for urban mesh network setting is developed that m...
متن کاملNeurocognitive Executive Functions: Development and Interaction with Environmental Factors
Background and Purpose: "Executive functions" is a general term and contains components which form a common pattern while being distinctive form each other at the same time. These functions imply the ability to use higher cognitive processes to focus on the significant aspects of the task and to plan for its completion. During the recent years, a general view has been developed indicating that ...
متن کاملMULTI-SCALE BASED EXTRACION OF VEGETATION FROM TERRESTRIAL LiDAR DATA FOR ASSESSING LOCAL LANDSCAPE
In this study, we propose a method to accurately extract vegetation from terrestrial three-dimensional (3D) point clouds for estimating landscape index in urban areas. Extraction of vegetation in urban areas is challenging because the light returned by vegetation does not show as clear patterns as man-made objects and because urban areas may have various objects to discriminate vegetation from....
