This paper aims to present and discuss the method of geocoding historical place names from historic maps that cannot be georeferenced in GIS environment. concerns especially drawn early modern period, i.e., before common use precise topographic surveys. Such are valuable sources them is an asset geographical analyses. Geocoding a process matching spatial data (such as names) with reference data...

Atmospheric and oceanic computational simulation models often successfully depict chaotic space-time patterns, flow phenomena, dynamical balances, and equilibrium distributions that mimic nature. This success is accomplished through necessary but non-unique choices for discrete algorithms, parameterizations, and coupled contributing processes that introduce structural instability into the model...

"The essence of soft computing is that unlike the traditional, hard computing, soft computing is aimed at an accommodation with the pervasive imprecision of the real world. Thus, the guiding principle of soft computing is: '...exploit the tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth to achieve tractability, robustness, low solution cost and better rapport with reality'. In the f'mal...

In many real world applications (even in banking), imprecise data is a matter of fact. However, classic database management systems provide little if any help in the management of imprecise data. We are applying methods from interval arithmetic, epsilon serializability, and other related areas to help the application designers in the management of naturally imprecise data. Our approach includes...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of geography on quality control (QC) testing in the point of care testing (PoCT) in general practice trial. DESIGN AND METHODS Within-practice imprecision for QC testing for HbA1c, urine albumin:creatinine ratio, lipids and international normalised ratio was calculated for each geographic region. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the ...
