Multi-Disciplinary Engineering (MDEng) environments involve a wide range of models, processes and tools that were not designed to cooperate together. The Ontology-Based Information Integration (OBII) approach has been proposed to address the integration issue within such environments. However, knowledge changes management and analysis (KCMA) process within the environment are not covered within...

Post-collision Pliocene-Quaternary basaltic rocks outcrop in the Kerman Cenozoic Magmatic Arc (KCMA) to northwest and east of Shahr-e-Babak city. These porphyritic vesicular are composed essentially clinopyroxene, olivine, plagioclase. basalts display alkaline affinity negative Ta, Zr, Rb anomaly, but slightly Nb relative elements with similar compatibility, positive Ba, K, Sr suggesting their ...

We evaluate two mitigation strategies for urban heat island (UHI) in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area (KCMA). Using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, we assess potential benefits of reflective "cool" roofs irrigation on air temperature typical summer conditions between 2011 2015, during six strongest historical waves from 2005 to 2016. Under conditions, simulate 2-m 10 weeks, findi...

This research was performed with the objective of evaluating the accuracy of spectral angle mapper (SAM) classification using different reference spectra. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) digital images were applied in the SAM classification in order to map the distribution of hydrothermally altered rocks in the Kerman Cenozoic magmatic arc (KCMA), Iran...

the main problem associated with the traditional approach to image classification for the mapping of hydrothermal alteration is that materials not associated with hydrothermal alteration may be erroneously classified as hydrothermally altered due to the similar spectral properties of altered and unaltered minerals. the major objective of this paper is to investigate the potential of a neuro-fuz...

the northwestern part of the kerman cenozoic magmatic arc (kcma) contains many areas with porphyry copper mineralization. in this research, we used the advanced space-borne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (aster) and enhanced thematic mapper plus (etm+) images of this region to map the distribution of hydrothermally altered rocks, based on their mineral assemblages. the spectral meas...
