Estimating the distribution, extent and change of coastal ecosystems is essential for monitoring global change. However, spatial models developed to estimate distribution land cover types require accurate up-to-date reference data support model development, training validations. Owing labor-intensive tasks required develop datasets, often requiring intensive campaigns image interpretation and/o...

The network-based model of social contagion has revolved around information on local interactions; its central focus been network topological properties shaping the interactions and, ultimately, outcomes. We extend this approach by introducing global state, or information, into and analyzing how it alters dynamics in six different classes networks: a two-dimensional square lattice, small-world ...

There are many examples known of compact continua no two of whose simple links intersect, even though uncountably many of the links are nondegenerate. On page 346 of his Foundations of point set theory [ l] , R. L. Moore has given an example of a compact continuum which is the sum of an uncountable collection of nondegenerate simple links, only a countable number of which intersect. In view of ...
