Introduction: We have developed a model to calculate the cooling rate (or burial depth) by using the Fe-Mg chemical zoning profile of olivine, considering diffusional modification of zoning profiles as crystals grow by fractional crystallization from a melt [e.g., 1]. We applied the model to calculating cooling rates of olivines in the Semarkona (LL3.00) chondrite [2]. In this abstract, we appl...

In most transport planning studies one of the first steps is the definition of a zoning scheme with which the study area is divided and the corresponding space is disaggregated. There are no clear rules on how to carry out this operation in an optimal way, and the dominating practice is to do it based on experience, trying to mix a certain degree of within-zone homogeneity and the convenience o...

Retailers often co-locate spatially to draw consumers, even though it increases price competition. The paper develops a structural model of entry and location choice that isolates the agglomeration benefit of co-location, after controlling for pure differentiation rationales for colocation such as (1) high demand and/or low cost at the location; (2) zoning restrictions and (3) format differenti...

The contribution of this paper is twofold. First we investigate the use of the confusion matrices in order to get some insight to better define perceptual zoning for character recognition. The features considered in this work are based on concavities/convexities deficiencies, which are obtained by labelling the background pixels of the input image. Four different perceptual zoning (symmetrical ...

Th is paper provides an economic analysis of a proposed zoning change that will enable the City of Treasure Island, Florida, to attract more tourists. Th e proposed zoning change would result in hotel renovations and new hotel construction in Treasure Island, Florida. Th e study uses tax analysis to see how the change would increase taxable property values as well as increase revenues from the ...

FEATHERS is an activity-based micro-simulation modeling framework used for transport demand forecasting. Currently, this framework is implemented for the Flanders region of Belgium and the most detailed travel demand data can be obtained at the Subzone level, which consists of 2,386 virtual units with an average area of 5.8 km. In this study, we investigated the transferability of applying the ...

The drug yielding potential of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is largely due to the presence of phyto-constituent 'curcumin.' Curcumin has been found to possess a myriad of therapeutic activities ranging from anti-inflammatory to neuroprotective. Lack of requisite high curcumin containing genotypes and variation in the curcumin content of turmeric at different agro climatic regions are the major s...

This paper presents an application of Text Zoning to the ACL Anthology. Text Zoning is known to be useful to characterize the content of papers, especially in the scientific domain. We show that recent techniques based on weakly supervised learning obtain excellent results on the ACL Anthology. Although these kinds of techniques is known in the domain, it is the first time it is applied to the ...
