Environmental maps show the probable environmental states of different types of land use or development of landscape in a geographic context. Remotely sensed data are particularly efficient for environmental mapping in order to outline major environmental types. Multiple schemes of image classification used in environmental mapping are either traditionally statistical or heuristic. While the fo...

BACKGROUND Good maps of malaria risk have long been recognized as an important tool for malaria control. The production of such maps relies on modelling to predict the risk for most of the map, with actual observations of malaria prevalence usually only known at a limited number of specific locations. Estimation is complicated by the fact that there is often local variation of risk that cannot ...

A new technique is introduced to abstract and edit motion capture data with spatial constraints. Spatial proximities of end-e ectors with tagged objects during zero-crossings in acceleration space are used to isolate signi cant events and abstract constraints from an agent's action. The abstracted data is edited and applied to another agent of a di erent anthropometric size and a similar action...

7.1 Background Cognitive mapping is defined as "a process composed of a series of psychological transformations by which an individual acquires, stores, recalls, and decodes information about the relative locations and attributes of the phenomena in his everyday spatial environment" (Downs & Stea, 1973: 7). Cognitive mapping is usually considered to be a subset of spatial cognition which can be...

BACKGROUND Short-stem humeral replacements achieve fixation by anchoring to the metaphyseal trabecular bone. Fixing the implant in high-density bone can provide strong fixation and reduce the risk of loosening. However, there is a lack of data mapping the bone density distribution in the proximal humerus. The aim of the study was to investigate the bone density in proximal humerus. METHODS Ei...

We report on recent developments in the European INTAMAP (Interoperability and Automated Mapping) project on web services for processing radiological data from the EURDEP data base. First, we briefly describe the goals of this project and its relation to other European initiatives and infrastructures for global monitoring of the environment (GMES and INSPIRE). Then we report on the development ...
