چکیده
A large amount of the role of the land surveyor, land registries and land information systems is concerned with building and maintaining a land administration infrastructure where one of its primary tasks is to support the operation of an efficient and effective land market. This includes cadastral surveys to identify and subdivide land, land registry systems to support simple land trading (buying, selling, mortgaging and leasing land) and land information systems to facilitate access to the relevant information. It is assumed that all these land administration activities will support the operation of a land market. But what is a land market? Are our current land administration systems designed to support a modern land market which includes complex commodities such as mortgage backed certificates, water rights, land information, time shares, unit and property trusts, financial instruments, insurance products, options, corporate development instruments and vertical villages? A land market is a complex and dynamic range of activities, processes and opportunities. It is a concept that is continually evolving, primarily in response to sustainable development objectives, although it is also being facilitated by information and communications technologies. This paper argues that modern land markets offer many business opportunities for land surveyors. It is important that cadastral survey practices, land registries and land information systems keep pace with, and preferably lead, these land market developments. This paper discusses the evolution of land administration systems and the land markets they support. It introduces the vision for a modern land administration system that supports not only simple land trading but also the trading in complex commodities. It describes the challenges facing surveyors if they are to “think outside the triangle” and capitalise on their spatial and measurement skills and apply them to the opportunities presented by the growth of complex land markets.

متن کاملOne - Loop Gluon Scattering Amplitudes in Theories with N < 4 Supersymmetries Steven
Generalised unitarity techniques are used to calculate the coefficients of box and triangle integral functions of one-loop gluon scattering amplitudes in gauge theories with N < 4 supersymmetries. We show that the box coefficients in N = 1 and N = 0 theories inherit the same coplanar and collinear constraints as the corresponding N = 4 coefficients. We use triple cuts to determine the coefficie...

متن کاملUniversality for Bond Percolation in Two Dimensions
All (in)homogeneous bond percolation models on the square, triangular, and hexagonal lattices belong to the same universality class, in the sense that they have identical critical exponents at the critical point (assuming the exponents exist). This is proved using the star–triangle transformation and the box-crossing property. The exponents in question are the one-arm exponent ρ, the 2j-alterna...

We consider finite point-set approximations of a manifold or fractal with the goal of determining topological properties of the underlying set. We use the minimal spanning tree of the finite set of points to compute the number and size of its -connected components. By extrapolating the limiting behavior of these quantities as → 0 we can say whether the underlying set appears to be connected, to...
