The numerical forecasts made in 1950 using the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) paved the way for the remarkable advances that have been made over the past half-century in weather prediction and climate modeling. We review the circumstances in which the forecasts were made, the nature of the ENIAC machine, and the roles of the people involved. The basis for the forecasts was...

Geospatial Information Technology (GIT) is being used in an increasing number of application fields and is relevant for more users than ever before. This diversity of applications and users raise questions about the relevance of different types of geo-representation (such as, maps, aerial photos, satellite imagery, 3D models) and their congruency with different user profiles. Studies have shown...

Background: Soil and sediment serve as major reservoir for contaminants as they possess ability to bind various chemicals together. In this study the concentrations of heavy metals Cd, Cr and Cu were analyzed in surface sediments of Agh Gel Wetland in west of Iran. Methods: The sediment samples were taken from 10 stations. The samples were subjected to bulk digestion and chemical partitionin...

The ubiquity of low-cost GPS-enabled mobile devices and the proliferation of online social networks have enabled the collection of rich geo-social information that includes the whereabouts of the users and their social connections. This information can be used to provide a rich set of access control policies that ensure that resources are utilized uniquely and securely. Existing literature focu...

Abstract. Municipalities invest a lot of time and person-hours into manual building permit checks. With the increase in computational power use Building Information Models (BIM) design life cycle, several municipalities are investing automating these checks using BIM geo-data sets. However, few examples exist tools effectively geo-information with BIM. In order to address this gap, project was ...
