Technical Challenges in Mobile Real-Time 3D City Maps with Dynamic Content

While mobile 3D maps are not a new idea, implementations have been sparse. One reason is the serious lack of computing resources in the mobile environment, while another has been the lack of feasible programming interfaces. As the mobile 3D programming interfaces OpenGL ES and JSR-184 have lately emerged, the remaining main obstacles are the limited resources. In this paper, we discuss the tech...

Web Tool for Traffic Engineers: Direct Manipulation and Visualisation of Vehicular Traffic Statistics Using Google Maps

This thesis presents a lightweight web application prototype for traffic volume statistics analysis and manipulation. The tool was created using a participatory design approach, in conjunction with the traffic center of Oulu. The purpose of this work is to provide experienced traffic engineers an integrated environment and a convenient way to interact and visualize traffic volume data. The targ...

Influence of 10-MDP Adhesive System on Shear Bond Strength of Zirconia-Composite Interfaces

  Introduction: This in-vitro study investigated the initial 24h bond strength between different composites and zirconia after application of four different adhesive systems. Methods: A total of 120 specimens of zirconia (InCoris, Sirona, Germany, Bernsheim) were ground with a 165 µm grit rotating diamond disc. Thirty specimens were each additionally treated with Cimara Zircon “CZ” (VOCO GmbH, ...

The Potential of Maps APIs for Internet GIS Applications

Since the launching of Maps Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in 2005, many web developers, including geographers and non-geographers, applauded the freely adaptable tools and used them to spawn numerous Internet applications. The success of the Maps APIs is largely attributable to its no-cost policy, the availability of global data coverage, dynamic navigation, query capability, and ea...
