The need for high-resolution wind resource maps is increasing with the increase in supply and development of power. Many physical downscaling models have been developed applied to make these maps. However, as existing require extensive computations time, statistical higher efficiency are being studied. Statistical such regression machine learning can quickly calculate maps, but they a problem l...

In the past, current-distance spectroscopy has been widely applied to determine variations of the work function at surfaces. While for homogeneous sample areas this technique is commonly accepted to yield at least qualitative results, its applicability to atomic-scale variations has not been proven neither right nor wrong. Here we benchmark measurements of the current-distance decay constant ag...

Making sense of concept maps is an ongoing challenge for the concept mapping community. This paper introduces a multilevel analysis strategy by combining quantitative and qualitative methods to triangulate changes in students’ concept maps. Quantitative analysis includes overall, selected, and weighted propositional analysis using a knowledge integration rubric (Linn, 2000) as well as network a...

In this work we studied the accuracy of DEMs generated from ASTER stereoscopic images by automated stereo-matching techniques with two different softwares (OrthoBase PRO and OrthoEngine). We compare several DEMs generated for a test area of 23 km x 28 km situated in the province of Granada (south Spain). This is an area was selected because its variable and complex topography with elevations ra...

Terrain skeleton lines, among the most significant elements of topographical maps, are the valley lines that connect the deepest points of valleys, and the ridge lines that connect the highest points of ridges. In order to obtain correct and enough information about land forms from a topographical map, skeleton lines have to be considered and portrayed together with contours. Their extraction h...

caspian miniature horse is a rare small horse in iran. in this horse, brachiocephalic trunk originates from the craniodorsal of the convex part of the aortic arch. it supplies the head, neck, forelimbs and cranial part of the thoracic cavity. in this reseach topographical location of brachiocephalic trunk arising from the aorta and its ramifications have been studied. five caspian miniature hor...

PURPOSE To perform a detailed topographical analysis of functional age-related changes over the retina. METHODS Fifty-nine normal phakic subjects aged 10 to 69 years were divided into six groups, according to decade of age. mfERG traces were recorded from the central 60 degrees of the retina, with a resolution of 61 and 103 scaled hexagons. Group medians of peak amplitude and latency of the f...

We present a novel approach - DTI-based fiber tract-driven topographical mapping (FTTM) - to map and measure the influence of age on the integrity of interhemispheric fibers and challenge their selective functions with measures of interhemispheric integration of lateralized information. This approach enabled identification of spatially specific topographical maps of scalar diffusion measures an...

A virtual reality environment was used to test memory performance for simulated "real-world" spatial and episodic information in a 22-year-old male, Jon, who has selective bilateral hippocampal pathology caused by perinatal anoxia. He was allowed to explore a large-scale virtual reality town and was then tested on his memory for spatial layout and for episodes experienced. Topographical memory ...

Establishing topographical maps of the external world is an important but still poorly understood feature of the vertebrate sensory system. To study the selective innervation of hindbrain regions by sensory afferents in the zebrafish embryo, we mapped the fine-grained topographical representation of sensory projections at the central level by specific photoconversion of sensory neurons. Sensory...
