Geographical networks of British hill forts using intervisibility graphs
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We present a range of exploratory methods at the intersection of geographical analysis and graph/network theory to investigate placement of Bronze age and Iron age hill forts in a landscape, utilising varying degrees of domain knowledge (expert/archaeologist). Techniques that we employ include: intervisibility/line-of-sight; visible area of hillforts; landcover and geomorphometrics; and network characteristics of intervisibility graphs. For the latter, we examine both local features (modularity, cliques, communities) and global features (clustering coefficients, statistical properties).

Comparison of Genetic and Hill Climbing Algorithms to Improve an Artificial Neural Networks Model for Water Consumption Prediction
No unique method has been so far specified for determining the number of neurons in hidden layers of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks used for prediction. The present research is intended to optimize the number of neurons using two meta-heuristic procedures namely genetic and hill climbing algorithms. The data used in the present research for prediction are consumption data of water...
متن کاملPrehistoric human impacts on Rapa, French Polynesia
New excavations and survey on the island of Rapa have shown that a rockshelter was occupied by early settlers around AD 1200 and the first hill forts were erected about 300 years later. Refortification occurred up to the contact period and proliferated around AD 1700. Taro cultivation in terraced pond-fields kept pace with the construction of forts. The authors make a connection between fort-bu...

متن کاملNew Developments in Space Syntax Software
The Spatial Positioning tool (SPOT) is an isovist-based spatial analysis software, and is written in Java working as a stand-alone program. SPOT differs from regular Space syntax software as it can produce integration graphs and intervisibility graphs from a selection of positions. The concept of the software originates from a series of field studies on building interiors highly influenced by o...
