It is one of the important ways for GIS data updating based on map generalization. This paper analyzes the main steps for road data updating based on map generalization. As the core of this updating process, matching method considering the levels analyses and selective omission based on mesh density are developed. The approach for road data updating based on these two tools is proposed, which i...

BACKGROUND Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have become increasingly popular, and the methodology to develop guidelines has evolved enormously. However, little attention has been given to the updating process, in contrast to the appraisal of the available literature. We conducted an international survey to identify current practices in CPG updating and explored the need to standardize and im...

Updating information in working memory is a critical process which makes possible to have available, at every moment, the information most relevant for mind operations. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the updating process have rarely been analysed. This paper examines the importance of two of the mechanisms implicated in a numerical updating task: item comparison and item substituti...

Reassessment of infrastructure buildings has become an essential approach to deal with increasing traffic loads on ageing and verify the service-life those structures. Good estimation actual material properties is highly relevant for reliable structural reassessment. Although this holds all building materials, importance good parameter special concrete structures, where strength show relatively...

Finite element model updating utilizing frequency response functions as inputs is an important procedure in structural analysis, design and control. This paper presents a highly efficient framework that built upon Gaussian process emulation to inversely identify parameters through sampling. In particular, multi-response (MRGP) meta-modeling approach formulated can accurately construct the error...

This paper presents a novel VLSI architecture for image segmentation. The architecture is based on the fuzzy c-means algorithm with spatial constraint for reducing the misclassification rate. In the architecture, the usual iterative operations for updating the membership matrix and cluster centroid are merged into one single updating process to evade the large storage requirement. In addition, ...

BACKGROUND Depression is characterized by cognitive impairments, including executive dysfunctions. These executive deficits could reflect impairments of more basic executive processes, such as updating, set shifting and inhibition. While shifting and inhibition impairments are often reported, studies on depression have been somewhat obscure about specific deficits of the updating process. The m...
