Geological structure plays a crucial role in determining a wide field of relief forms, even in areas where exogenetic factors are regarded as the dominant ones in the landscape (Ahnert 1998; Bloom 1998; Ritter et al. 2002). In recent years Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and Geographical Information System (GIS) technologies have been extensively used to determine the morphometric properties of tectonically active regions. In addition the use of Remote Sensing and GIS techniques to evaluate the

Conclusion In this assignment spatial analysis was defined as the “set of methods used where the results of the object change when the object changes its location” (Longley et al. 2005). The various models of spatial analysis was discussed namely queries, transformations, measures and spatial interpolation. Under transformation buffering, point-in-polygon, polygon overlay are some operations that were discussed. Under measure the distance and length

variables Our results showed that species clusters differed in terms of analysed environmental variables. Generally, temperature-related variables (BIO1, BIO3, BIO4 and BIO9) were the key factors responsible for differentiation between the clusters. Elevation and variables connected with the terrain sculpture (WI, TI, TRI and MRVBF) were among the most important topographic variables separating species clusters. The influence of the geological variables (related to the bedrock) was relatively weak, but

The earliest aerial photograph reviewed for Phase I ESA purposes was taken in 1943. The previous alignment of Highway 101, now called Santa Maria Way (or Business U.S. 101), is bordering the site to the west. An unpaved road had been constructed through the southern portion of the site that appears to be the access road to oil well Holmes No. 1, which is just east of the site, connecting it to Highway 101. The unpaved road through the site is looped with what appears to be four round tanks in
and objectives: Exhibition design has evolved highly within the past century. What was once a fairly straight forward design discipline, has advanced into a multi-disciplinary area that goes far beyond common practices. With the introduction of new digital techniques i.e. 3D modelling programs, CAD software, etc., a new perspective has been put onto the overall design process of exhibition design. This paper seeks to explore the advantages of using these new design techniques in combination with traditional
shape of capacitors. Sampling determines the geometric properties of an image. b) Quantizing i. Assigning the intensity value to a pixel and defines radiometric properties of the image (Schenk, 1999) From the point of view of the application, the digital image is presented as a matrix I that are consist of r = 1, and so on, R is rows and j = 1, and so on, C is columns. For that, the elements of the matrix that are carry intensity values. By that, depending on the type of image will make the matrix
History Of Digital Architectural Design Abstract Digital design technology rapid evaluation and development have affected architecture and urban design in general. Digital design became an integral part of the architectural design process. Computer aided design and digital simulation have led to new forms as well as to an increasingly strategic approach to architecture. From the early sketching process all the way to the production of building components, digital tools offer new possibilities
the direct proportionality of elevation with lightning density even for altitudes above 1500 m across Switzerland and Austria. These results generally coincided with Schulz’s and Diendorfer’s (1999) study in Austria. As opposed to the findings of Smorgonskiy et al. (2013), Schulz and Diendorfer (1999) focused on a smaller area where the lightning location system had the best performance, and they overlapped it with elevations given by the GLOBE digital elevation model. They discovered that after an

The Use of Geographic Information Systems in Real Estate Appraisal Abstract Appraisers need to show the reasoning behind their value opinions by discussing important spatial relationships and their likely effect on value. Geographic information systems (GIS) can be used to analyze these relationships and to show why a client should select an appraiser who has this level of information. Gilbert Castle has noted that real estate is essentially a game of information arbitrage. The likely
While the transition of television to a digital technology with its improved picture and sound quality has been a much publicized and controversial process, television's venerable ancestor, radio, has stayed in the background. But this year, in the United States, radio broadcasting is making its own digital leap. Two start-ups are introducing a new type of radio broadcast--subscription-based digital audio sent from satellites. With satellite digital audio radio services (SDARS), as they're called
The GUESS model for soil erosion, which was developed by Rose et al. (1983) illustrated the processes of soil erosion, transportation and deposition along hillside. Therefore the model can be used to predict on- and off-site effects. Soil erosion at any position on the slope and at any time during the storm is related to a sediment flux. It depends on the sediment concentration and the hydrological conditions. This model is designed as a guide to farmers, scientists and other workers relevant with
From the very early day of human beings, did transport appear. It is the result of human desire for mobility and exploration. Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to another. It serves several functions to economy and human society but as time passed by, along with growth transportation, environment especially landscape and heritage have been badly affected. According to Matthew et.al (2007), “Human activities within a landscape often result in land use
celebrities as a form of role model and inspiration. You see them on television, magazines, and billboards. Their names and faces plastered all over products, posters, and advertisements. The latest news from their personal lives on every social media platform (Gamson 2011). But celebrity culture is more than just shallow idolization; there is a mental and psychological aspect to it as well. Whether as a form of distraction or authority, some even look to celebrities as their role models in life (Furedi 2010)
Both catadioptric sensors allow that all the reflected projection rays intersect at a single point, and hence possess a simple computational model which supports various applications. Both sensor models are illustrated in Figure 2 3.

The Geographic Information System (GIS) is used in Saudi Arabia for several projects. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest exporter or oil, gas and phosphates; therefore, using GIS is beneficial to them as they understand further information regarding drilling and extracting the two major natural resources. Another aspect in which the geographical information system is used is for projects such as water management. A problem they seem to be facing for years, they finally found a solution

Introduction The topical focus of this paper is the Atlantic salmon fishery. In particular, this paper looks at habitat loss and salmon farming both of which have had major impacts on the sustainability of the fishery. Several efforts have been made to restore Atlantic salmon to their native habitat, specifically in Maine and New Hampshire. This paper reviews the policies that have been implemented, not yet implemented, and a proposed policy. Historical Background of Atlantic salmon
