GIS-MCE is the main method in land evaluation,but it is a linear method and neglects multidimensional complexity of factors used in land evaluation, which leads to information loss. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) originates from psychoanalysis, which is used to describe multidimensional data in higher dimensions by transforming data in higher dimensions into geometry structure in Lower dimensio...

Rainfall is one of the most important climatic variables in the hydrology cycle. In flood estimation as well as environmental pollution studies in medium to large watersheds not only mus temporal pattern of rainfall t be known, but also the knowledge of its spatial distribution is required. Estimation of daily rainfall distribution without comparison and selection of suitable methods may lead...

Selection of suitable sites for wind power plants is one of the most important decision on wind resources development. Site selection for the establishment of large wind power plants requires spatial evaluation taking technical, economic, and environmental considerations into account. This study has applied a combination of PROMETHEE and Fuzzy AHP methods in a geographical information system en...

truncated gaussian simulation (tgs) is a well-known method to generate realizations of the ore domains located in a spatial sequence. in geostatistical framework geological domains are normally utilized for stationary assumption. the ability to measure the uncertainty in the exact locations of the boundaries among different geological units is a common challenge for practitioners. as a simple a...

Spatial relation model is important technique fo r iniage indexing arid retrieval in iniage or niultiniedia databases. 2 0 strings and its variants are proposed to s~rpport the representation of spatial relationship. I n this paper, a new spatial knowledge representarion model rianied “Tvi.0 Diniension Begin-End boundan string”(2D BE-string) is proposed. The 2 0 BE-string represents on icon by ...

bile duct ligation (bdl) is shown to induce cholestasis-related liver function impairments as well as consequent cognitive dysfunctions (i.e. impaired learning and memory formation). this study investigates the effects of cholestasis (14, 21 and 28 days post bile duct ligation) on spatial and non-spatial novelty detection, using a non-associative task. male mice weighing 30-35 g were used. chol...

This paper attempts to explore the issues related to the usability evaluation of spatial-aware mobile systems used for technologically mediating interpersonal and group communication. In this direction, it investigates the applicability of existing usability evaluation methods and principles on spatial-aware mobile systems and presents the results of a multi-method usability evaluation of such ...

We apply the modal coherence theory to evaluate the spatial mode structure of a 2×2 phase-coupled array of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). The eigenmode structure is extracted for different pump currents by measuring the degree of spatial coherence of all VCSEL pairs in the array. The results reveal the impact of optical disorder and spatial hole burning on the modal discrimin...
