In the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, map-based sequencing strategy has been recently suppressed being too expensive and laborious. The detailed studies on NGS drafts alone indicated these assemblies remain far from gold standard reference quality, especially when applied on complex genomes. In this context the conventional BAC-based physical mapping has been identified a...

sistan plain is affected by desertification and this phenomenon has serious impacts on roads and socio- economic activities of local people of this region. the main purpose of this study is estimating the current and potential desertification intensity of niatak region of sistan based on micd method. that, through it the working units of this region were prepared as the base map for evaluating ...

This paper is about the implementation of an internetbased personal robot system using map-based localization. The idea is to control a personal robot at a remote site by using a simulator provided at a local site. However, if the information of the current absolute position of the robot at its remote site cannot be estimated, the simulator may be useless. The absolute position of the robot can...

We introduce in this paper a new chaotic map with dynamical properties controlled by two free parameters. The map definition is based on the hyperbolic tangent function, so it is called the tanh map. We demonstrate that the Lyapunov exponent of the tanh map is robust, remaining practically unaltered with the variation of its parameters. As the main application, we consider a chaotic communicati...

Autonomous robots need to perceive and represent their environments and act accordingly. Using simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) methods, robots can build maps of the environment which are efficient for localization and path planning as long as the environment remains unchanged. However, facility logistics environments are not static because pallets and other obstacles are stored tem...

In mass casualty incidents a common operation picture, which gives an overview about the current situation is critical information for managing the emergency. In order to support the collaboration between different incident commanders a multi-touch table, placed in the incident command post, is used to present the current operation picture on a map. To place as little additional mental load as ...

—Accuracy assessment or validation has become a standard component of any land cover or vegetation map derived from remotely sensed data. Knowing the accuracy of the map is vital to any decisionmaking performed using that map. The process of assessing the map accuracy is time consuming and expensive. It is very important that the procedure be well thought out and carefully planned to be as effi...

Causal map integration is helpful to broaden group member’s eyesight and sheds insight on the detection of overall group’s cognition tendencies. However the existing causal map integration approaches are either based on human intervention mechanism that is criticized with researcher bias, or based on syntactic mechanism that lacks of semantic. In order to improve the current causal map integrat...

We present a computational theory of cognitive maps which proposes that the cognitive map, a representation for a viewer’s experience of their spatial environment, comprises two loosely coupled modules, the raw cognitive map and the full cognitive map. The raw map is a representation for the spatial arrangement and physical characteristics of surfaces. The various interpretations (or conceptual...
