tourism as a growing industry needs special attention in developing countries. during last decades, nature based tourism has been growing faster than other tourism fields and it seems to grow even faster. ever growing demand for nature based tourism emphasizes the necessity of a holistic planning for preserving environment against degradation. objective of this study is to present a nature base...

A novel method is proposed to retrieve image sequences with the goal of forecasting complex and timevarying natural patterns. To that end, we introduce a framework called Memory-Based Forecasting; it provides forecast information based on the temporal development of past retrieved sequences. This paper targets the radar echo patterns in weather radar images, and aims to realize an image retriev...

Artificially produced chemical elements heavier than uranium have been known for more than seventy years and the number of superheavy elements continues to grow. Presently 26 transuranic elements are known. This paper examines the earliest scientific interest in the very heavy elements and the related question of an upper limit of the periodic system. In the period from the 1880s to the early 1...

Motivations for drawing hierarchical structures are probably as diverse as datasets to visualize. This ubiquity of tree structures has lead to a manifold of tree layout algorithms and tree visualization systems. While many tree layouts exist, increasingly massive data sets, expanding computational power, and still relatively limited display space make tree layout algorithms a topic of ongoing i...

A novel method and a framework called Memory-Based Forecasting are proposed to forecast complex and timevarying natural patterns with the goal of supporting experts’ decision making. This paper targets the local precipitation phenomena captured as echo patterns in weather radar images, and aims to realize a tool that supports weather forecasters. In our framework, past image patterns similar to...

It has been suggested that language learners prefer phonologically natural patterns overunnaturalones(McCarthy&Prince,1995;Tesar&Smolensky,1993,2000).Various researchers have cited evidence for this assertion based on production (Demuth, 1995; Gnanadesikan, 1995) and perception (Jusczyk, Smolensky, & Allocco, 2002). Two experiments presented in this article test whether 9-month-old infants lear...

Nature-based tourism has recently been the industry's focus, and nature become a tourist attraction worldwide. The increased activities participation in this type of have escalated growth research within area. Malaysia's current definition nature-based is vague, narrow, fragmented. As an essential component country's industry, it necessary to redefine since its features vary from one destinatio...

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have rapidly been gaining traction across the research, policy and practice spheres, advocated as transformative actions to jointly address biodiversity loss climate change. However, there are multiple, alternative ways conceptualize NbS those three spheres. To inform discourses in practice, we critically reflect on prevailing framing of NbS. Although concept links ...

Humanity faces a dual threat to its existence: climate change and biodiversity loss. The two risks are linked through human activity an economic system that promotes growth at the expense of nature. Creating nature-based economy can mitigate bring sustained, shared prosperity. article shows how markets be developed around protection regeneration Policies actions needed unleash resources innovat...
