Habitat classifications provide guidelines for mapping and comparing marine resources across geographic regions. Calcareous bio-concretions and their associated biota have not been exhaustively categorized. Furthermore, for management and conservation purposes, species and habitat mapping is critical. Recently, several developments have occurred in the field of predictive habitat modeling, and ...

There are projected shortages in the supply of dentists in Australia, and these shortages are likely to be more evident in areas outside of capital cities. This report explores the geographic distribution of dentists and the differences in supply of dental services to regions defined by remoteness. Remoteness may be thought as the travel time to obtaining goods and services. Australian Statisti...

A Geographic Information System (GIS) was used as analysis tool to study the spatial distribution of dengue virus-infected Aedes mosquitos in Thailand. Global Positioning System (GPS) instruments were used to map villages involved in dengue epidemiological studies in Ratchaburi Province, Thailand. Differentially processed GPS data, with a spatial resolution of approximately 1 meter, were incorp...

The paper focuses on mapping the road network into 4-regular grid structures. A mapping algorithm is proposed. To model the road network GIS data have been used. The Geographic Information System (GIS) data for the road network are composed with different size of line segment lengths. The manipulation of the line segment length for mapping is analyzed. The algorithms and simulation results are ...

Orthophoto imagery is a valuable layer in a GIS because it provides a generic, inexpensive, and accurate base map. However, in cities with tall buildings it is difficult to create a seamless database of orthophoto imagery. Traditional methods for orthophoto rectification disregard buildings. In this paper, we describe a fully automated process, developed by ASI, that creates true orthophotograp...

It is often difficult to examine a map and visually assess the density and quality of the underlying data used to produce the map. Maps produced with Geographic Information System (GIS) often contain metadata or documentation that details the origin, extent, accuracy, scale, resolution, and creation date. Metadata provides a means to assess the utility of the spatial information for a specific ...

Postgraduate clinical training for dentists has been mandatory in Japan since 2006. Hirata et al. reported that the geographic distribution of postgraduate dental trainees by prefecture in 2006 was worse than that of practicing dentists. This suggests that the postgraduate clinical training system could intensify the problem of distribution of dentists. In this study, therefore, we reviewed the...
