In this paper, the author first analyzed the model and structure of the native XML database (NXD) and studied the application schema and structure of the GML 3.x implementation. Based on these, the author proposed the schema cluster storage and the numerical index technology to store and index GML spatial data, and adopted JavaBean technology to extent the inner module of the eXist-db to prove ...

A study was conducted to determine the efficacy of applying ground magnesium limestone (GML) or ground basalt in combination with bio-fertilizer to sustain rice production on an acid sulfate soil in Malaysia. Soils from Kelantan Plains, Malaysia, were treated with GML, ground basalt, bio-fertilizer, GML + bio-fertilizer, and ground basalt + bio-fertilizer (4 t ha 1 each). Results showed that so...

XML/GML/SVG based approaches are promising for building Web-based geographic information system (WebGIS). However, current XML/GML/SVG based WebGISs are lacking in spatial analysis. Some of them are designed for web mapping only. Others adopt a server-side solution for spatial analysis, which suffers from the “bottleneck” problem, and results in a high network transmission load. Load balancing ...

Tumor-targeting multifunctional liposomes simultaneously loaded with magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs) as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent and anticancer drug, mitoxantrone (Mit), were developed for targeted cancer therapy and ultrasensitive MRI. The gonadorelin-functionalized MION/Mit-loaded liposome (Mit-GML) showed significantly increased uptake in luteinizing hormon...

This paper proposes an open architecture for building a geographical information search engine over the Internet based on the Geographical Markup Language (GML). It recognizes the autonomous and heterogeneous nature of the current practice of the Internet by adding GML-enabled wrappers for distributed servers and a mediator tier. The paper then presents a prototype based on the proposed open ar...

Early-stage gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (GML) is considered a localized disease with an indolent course. Circulating malignant cells have been detected in other early-stage indolent lymphomas by molecular methods. We investigated the incidence of occult blood disease in early-stage GML patients, its impact on clinical outcome, and the similarity between blood and gastric ...

Linked data provide an alternative route for the dissemination of spatial information compared to the traditional SOA-based SDI approach. The traditional approach has provided a wealth of standardized and structured location data based on Geography Markup Language (GML), while linked data provides an open mechanism for sharing and combining this data with anything, once the data is available as...

We present Maximum-Likelihood (ML) approaches to semi-blind estimation of multiple FIR channels. The first approach, DML, is based on a deterministic model. The second one, GML is based on a Gaussian model in which the input symbols are considered as Gaussian random variables: this model leads to better and more robust performance than DML. Algorithms are presented to solve DML and GML and the ...

Disaster response systems are designed to facilitate decision-making based on large amounts of heterogeneous geographic information. Most geographic information systems (GISs) use relational databases to manipulate information efficiently. However, they suffer from interoperability issues because they need to expend significant effort mapping heterogeneous geographic information, which may have...

We prove two main Goldblatt-Thomason-style Theorems for graded modal language in Kripke semantics: full Goldblatt-Thomason Theorem for elementary classes and relative Goldblatt-Thomason Theorem within the class of finite transitive frames. Two different semantic views on GML allow us to prove these results: neighborhood semantics and graph semantics. By neighborhood semantic view, we can define...
