Urban sprawl analysis of the city of Kerman via remote sensing

Objective: Over the past few decades, the increase of world’s urban population has resulted in uncontrolled urban expansions. Accordingly, determining urban development and sprawl should be taken into consideration. Methods: This article ai...

Spatially Constrained Discontinuity Trace Extraction from 3D Point Clouds by Intersecting Boundaries Segmented

Discontinuity trace provides critical geological data for engineering design and construction optimization. However, current extraction methods relying on discontinuity intersection fitting are highly sensitive to the segmentation accuracy ...

A deep learning recognition model for landslide terrain based on multi-source data fusion

The traditional high-level remote landslide recognition efficiency which relies on the artificial discrimination of geological experts is low. In this paper, an automatic landslide terrain recognition model based on deep learning is develop...

MacroSwarm: A Field-based Compositional Framework for Swarm Programming

Swarm behaviour engineering is an area of research that seeks to investigate methods and techniques for coordinating computation and action within groups of simple agents to achieve complex global goals like pattern formation, collective mo...

Electronic Nose System for Safety Monitoring at Refineries

In this paper an Electronic Nose (ENose) is presented which is designed for both at identifying the gas type and if it is pure or not, and at estimating the concentrations of the components of that mixture of LPG gases (Methane, Hexane, or ...

Cyberattacks on Miniature Brain Implants to Disrupt Spontaneous Neural Signaling

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) arose as systems that merge computing systems with the human brain to facilitate recording, stimulation, and inhibition of neural activity. Over the years, the development of BCI technologies has shifted towa...

MAPPING RICE CROPPING SYSTEM IN THE LOWER GANGETIC PLAIN USING LANDASAT 8 (OLI) AND MODIS IMAGERY

The Indo-Gangetic basin is one of the productive rice growing areas in South-East Asia. Within this extensive flat fertile land, lower Gangetic basin, especially the south Bengal, is most intensively cultivated. In this study we map the ric...

AN INVESTIGATION OF LOCAL EFFECTS ON SURFACE WARMING WITH GEOGRAPHICALLY WEIGHTED REGRESSION (GWR)

Urban warming is sensitive to the nature (thermal properties, including albedo, water content, heat capacity and thermal conductivity) and the placement (surface geometry or urban topography) of urban surface. In the literature the spatial ...

Encyclopedia of geography

With more than 1,200 entries, Encyclopedia of Geography reflects how the growth of geography has propelled a demand for intermediaries between the abstract language of academia and the ordinary language of everyday life. The six volumes of ...

Digital Co-Creation in Socially Sustainable Smart City Projects: Lessons From the European Union and Canada

Utilizing readily accessible information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as mobile devices, applications, and simple Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and harnessing their potential through Experimentation as a Service (EaaS), c...

Comparing the Effects of Low-Protein and High-Carbohydrate Diets and Caloric Restriction on Brain Aging in Mice

Summary: Calorie restriction (CR) increases lifespan and improves brain health in mice. Ad libitum low-protein, high-carbohydrate (LPHC) diets also extend lifespan, but it is not known whether they are beneficial for brain health. We compar...
