The sciences in america, circa 1880.
For many years American science in the late 19th century was regarded as an intellectual backwater. This view derived from the assumption that the health of American science at the time was equivalent to the condition of pure science, especially pure physics. However, a closer look reveals that there was considerable vitality in American scientific research, especially in the earth and life sci...
متن کاملGazetteer Development for the China Historical GIS Project
The China Historical GIS project is developing a set of free tools and datasets covering the geographic space that has, at one time or another, been nominally part of China. The idea is to provide a generic digital platform for historical places that can be seamlessly integrated with a wide variety of contemporary GIS data, but which is not tied to a single data source. The CHGIS data model ena...
متن کاملSoundscape mapping in urban contexts using GIS techniques
Urban acoustic environments consist of various sound sources including traffic noise, human-generated sounds, and natural sounds that affect the soundscape perception of a given location. However, these sound sources are indistinguishable by noise maps that are based on sound pressure levels. Hence, soundscape maps based on the perception of sounds are necessary to describe an acoustic environm...
متن کاملMapping of Environmental Pollution in Urban Areas with Gis
Environmental pollution in urban areas has resulted in the design of monitoring and decision-making systems. These systems are supported by the information systems that can manage spatial dynamics of pollution processes. Due to a wide range of data, which are necessary for modeling of spatio-temporal phenomena, new methods of data collection and management have to be created. This paper describ...
متن کاملThe Great Britain Historical GIS
Although the first censuses were the only practical means of surveying a nation’s population, the development of sample survey methodologies means censuses are increasingly justified by the specifically geographical detail they uniquely provide. The same is arguably true of historical census studies: a two per cent sample taken from many millions is quite sufficient to study national class or h...
