Mining Knowledge in Geographical Data
Huge amounts of data have been stored in databases, data warehouses, geographic information systems, and other information repositories , and this data is still growing rapidly 4]. Companies are building data warehouses capable of storing hundreds of terabytes of data related to natural resource exploration; astronomical databases are measured in terabytes in size; and it is expected that the N...
متن کاملSubtle mutation, far-reaching effects
In the 1980s, medical research set its focus more and more on molecular aspects of diseases, and it was not long until an individual mutation in a single protein species was found to cause the complete phenotype of a disease. Unsurprisingly, ion channels were among those culprits. Significant public attention was aroused when mutations in the (then appropriately named) cystic fibrosis transmemb...
متن کاملData mining and knowledge discovery in the geographical domain
Despite enormous efforts in quantification, our understanding of many of the Earth’s systems remains non-axiomatic; the systems are ‘open’ and consequently it is not possible to deduce all outcomes from known laws. Science must therefore adopt a manner that encourages the creation or uncovering of new knowledge (Baker, 1999; Takatsuka & Gahegan, 2001). For this reason aloneand completely uncou...
متن کاملReaching Knowledge Productivity
This paper takes as its context organisations operating in an emerging knowledge economy. It is concerned with how to research ways in which such organisations can develop the capability to regularly generate and apply new knowledge to continuous improvement and radical innovation in work processes, products and services and to customer relationships.

متن کاملVisuospatial updating of reaching targets in near and far space.
The brain constructs multiple representations of near and far space but it is unclear which spatial mechanism guides reaching across eye movements in near space. Retinocentric reaching representations are known to exist in parietal cortex, but must be updated during eye movements, in order to remain accurate. In contrast, non-retinal (e.g. muscle-centered) reaching plans in motor cortex do not ...
