Verbalization of Dynamic Sketch Maps: Layers of Representation and their Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
While describing sketch maps speakers choose between at least two conceptual layers of representation: the layer representing graphical entities and the layer representing real world entities. In this paper we discuss the mechanisms and principles that underlie these choices. We describe an empirical study in which subjects produce elicited verbalizations of dynamically presented sketch maps. In this study we used two different conditions for verbalization: an on-line (i.e. simultaneous) and an off-line (i.e. non-simultaneous) condition. In both conditions there is no uniform decision for one layer, neither between subjects not within subjects. Rather, both layers seem to be simultaneously accessible during conceptualization. Furthermore, there is a weak tendency in favour of the real world layer in the off-line production, whereas in the online condition there is a competition between the layers.

Qualitative Representations of Schematized and Distorted Street Segments in Sketch Maps
Over the past years, user-generated content has gained more prominence in the area of geographic information science. In many geo-spatial applications, sketch maps are considered an intuitive user interaction modality. As typically only qualitative relations are persevered in sketch maps, processing spatial information on qualitative level has been suggested. The information represented in sket...

Drought is an extended period of low precipitation which resulted in injuries to consumers of water and reducing their performance, especially in agriculture. Different indices have already been proposed for evaluating drought, based on one of the varieties of meteorological, hydrological and agricultural droughts, but no indices has been identified yet, encompassing all factors. This study has...

In recent years, thin-walled accordion tubes under axial cyclic loading due to their appropriate energy absorption mechanism and behavioral characteristics were suggested as hysteretic metallic dampers. The effectiveness of accordion metallic damper (AMD) to protect and mitigate the response of structures under seismic loading is well established both experimentally and analytically. In this pa...
