متن کاملRemote Sensing Classification of Brownfields in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area
Brownfields, idle or under-utilized urban areas, were identified in three parts of the Phoenix metropolitan area using a supervised classification technique using ERDAS Imagine. The brownfields were first evaluated in an area of south Phoenix used as a control site to establish sample training sites. These sites provided the basis for the supervised classification of an ASTER satellite image, w...
متن کاملA High-Speed Metropolitan Area Network Measurement Study
In this paper we present a high-speed measurement study of round-trip delays, and TCP throughput with various window sizes. The measurements using ping and ttcp are performed over 155 mbit OC-3 Packet over SONET MAN connections. In addition, short hop test results over zero, 1, and 2 layer 2 switched gigabit ethernet connections are presented. In general, FreeBSD was used for host testing. A fe...
