The association of very-high energy (VHE; E > 100GeV) sources with regions of the sky rich in dust and gas has been noticed in the study of individual VHE sources. However, the statistical significance of this correlation for the whole population of TeV detections has not been assessed yet. To trace the material content, we make use of the publicly released all-sky maps of astrophysical foregro...

Until today maps have proven to be a very efficient presentation form when communicating route information to people. Yet many different types of maps, with different styles and different extent, are used without any evidence about their auxiliary qualities in wayfinding. Traditional city maps contain a lot of detail and could therefore overload the user with information. Possibly the user gets...

Primary school selection is actually a decision making problem that should be supported with several source of information. Parents usually handle this problem in an unstructured manner which is indeed a fuzzy mental ranking of schools with respect to the effectiveness. In this study, an analytical hybrid multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) model is proposed and explained with details for ...

abstract soil, is a reclamable and sustainable source. it is the basis of survival and it’s implication, should be performed on the basis of productivity identification according to scientific and technical rules, we can protect this valuable source, and increase it’s productivity and usage. nowdays, saline soils cover nearly 14.6% of the country area. study areas (kashan’ playa) have saline an...

In this paper, a maximum a posteriori sound source localization (MAP-SSL) algorithm is proposed for reverberant and noisy conditions. It is derived by incorporating a sparse prior on the source location into the existing maximum likelihood sound source localization (ML-SSL) framework. The criterion in deriving the proposed MAP-SSL algorithm is similar to the criterion used in deriving the exist...

Abstract Environmental noise prevention starts from strategic maps of main transport infrastructures and agglomerations. Graduated colors are representative the average levels produced in space by each individual source, or overall sum. Among their purposes, communication results to population has been most neglected. The present paper proposes predominance for first time environmental acoustic...

The saliency map has been proposed to identify regions that draw human visual attention. Differences of features from the surroundings are hierarchially computed for an image or an image sequence in multiple resolutions and they are fused in a fully bottom-up manner to obtain a saliency map. A video usually contains sounds, and not only visual stimuli but also auditory stimuli attract human att...
