This quantitative descriptive study radar analysis. Radar charting graphical method for displaying multivariable data form two-dimensional chart three or mo...

Airbome Laser Bathymetry (ALB) is a technique primarily aimed at augmenting nautical chart production and bathymetric mapping capability in relatively shallow coastal waters. The potential of waterpenetrating airborne laser radar to provide cost effective characterization of underwater topography to depths as great as 50 meters, depending on water clarity, has triggered a number of research and...

Figure 1 Spider plot for the yeast gene YBL008w (HIR1); position 1 the walker visits every first nucleotide of codons and moves a unit up if the nucleotide is G, down if it is C, right if it is A and left if it is T; position 2 the walker visits every second nucleotide of codons, and proceeds the same way; position 3 the walker visits every third nucleotide of codons, and proceeds the same way ...

Since the Chinese government carried out the reform and opening up policy, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture has experienced rapid urbanization and dramatic land use change. This research aims at analyzing urban expansion in Xishuangbanna and its impact on the land use pattern using combined methods, including radar graph, the gradient-direction method and landscape metrics. Seven land us...

Based on hypotheses that athlete development can be variable and non-linear across a longitudinal period, and that ‘relatively later maturing players’ can reduce or negate developmental differences in later adolescence, this study examined a methodological issue concerning how best to assess anthropometric and fitness change relative to a broader population (i.e., ‘across age categories’ or ‘pe...

This paper describes a new method of image pattern recognition based on the Hausdorff Distance. The technique looks for similarities between a given pattern and its possible representations within an image. This method performs satisfactorily when confronted to image perturbations or partial occlusions. An extension of the classical Hausdorff Distance technique chooses the best candidate among ...

The seaward landfast ice edge (SLIE) is simple to define conceptually but more difficult to determine in practice, partly since both the location and a lack of motion must be determined over time, implying that a single observation is insufficient. We examine different definitions of landfast ice used by others and then propose our own, consisting of two criteria: 1) the ice is contiguous with ...

Here we demonstrate how spider plots can be used in a participatory fashion to simultaneously assess the performance of agricultural systems. We present how we used spider plots to assess ecosystem services from cover crops at a field day and suggest how the activity can be adapted to other purposes. We conclude by providing recommendations to educators for successfully facilitating a participa...
