BACKGROUND Spatial data on cases are available either in point form (e.g. longitude/latitude), or aggregated by an administrative region (e.g. zip code or census tract). Statistical methods for spatial data may accommodate either form of data, however the spatial aggregation can affect their performance. Previous work has studied the effect of spatial aggregation on cluster detection methods. H...

soil and land information is vital for land use planning and infrastructure development. maps of soils landscapes are powerful tools to guide sustainable planning and natural resource management. fuzzy set theory has been widely used in soil science for soil classification and mapping, land evaluation, fuzzy soil geostatistics, soil quality indices. in fuzzy logic-based approaches, soil spatial...

In 4 experiments, the authors investigated the reversal of spatial congruency effects when participants concurrently practiced incompatible mapping rules (J. G. Marble & R. W. Proctor, 2000). The authors observed an effect of an explicit spatially incompatible mapping rule on the way numerical information was associated with spatial responses. The authors also observed an effect of an incompati...

BACKGROUND Cortical and subcortical electrostimulation mapping during awake brain surgery for tumor removal is usually used to minimize deficits. OBJECTIVE To use electrostimulation to study neuronal substrates involved in spatial awareness in humans. METHODS Spatial neglect was studied using a line bisection task in combination with electrostimulation mapping of the right hemisphere in 50 ...

desertification process as a great problem affects most of the countries in the world specially developing countries. this process has a high rate in arid and semi-arid countries such as iran. the main objective of this research was to investigate land degradation status and desertification mapping of kashan area. different studies have been carried out in the world in order to assess desertifi...

This article aims to study how mapping contributes to organize and implement Integrated Coastal Zone Management projects. In order to observe the use of spatial representations and better understand the stakeholder’s mapping practices a qualitative methodology is used. The results show that mapping was mostly used to structure and stabilize the actor’s network. MOTS-CLES : représentations spati...
