Data-integration of opportunistic species observations into hierarchical modeling frameworks improves spatial predictions for urban red squirrels

investigating the integration of translation technologies into translation programs in iranian universities: basis for a syllabus design in translation technology

today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...

Spatial Modeling of Censored Survival Data

An important issue in survival data analysis is the identification of risk factors. Some of these factors are identifiable and explainable by presence of some covariates in the Cox proportional hazard model, while the others are unidentifiable or even immeasurable. Spatial correlation of censored survival data is one of these sources that are rarely considered in the literatures. In this paper,...

A Bayesian hierarchical framework for spatial modeling of fMRI data

Applications of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have provided novel insights into the neuropathophysiology of major psychiatric, neurological, and substance abuse disorders and their treatments. Modern activation studies often compare localized task-induced changes in brain activity between experimental groups. Complementary approaches consider the ensemble of voxels constituting a...

Integration of hydrological observations into a Spatial Data Infrastructure under a Sensor Web environment

Integration of Disaster Event Data into Spatial Data Infrastructures

The Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) collects near real-time hazard information about earthquakes, tsunamis, tropical cyclones, floods and volcanoes. Although all the collected disaster event data has a geographic reference it was up to now not integrated into a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). For a more efficient use of the data and to create interoperability we started...
