Acknowledgements This research effort benefited from the input of a variety of individuals who made both substantive and technical contributions. George Rengert, a consultant on the project, provided valuable insights regarding initial patterns of triangles and suggestions regarding the analysis plan that produced them. Deborah Weisel's question about the impact of repeat victimization on trian...

At present, the development and application of outdoor navigation is already quite mature. Car navigating system and mobile navigating system have been good to meet people’s requirements to find the path in outdoor. With the development of outdoor navigation system, indoor navigation system is also being paid more attention, especially in an unfamiliar and complex indoor environment. This paper...

Aaron Reid In his short story “The Rich Brother” Tobias Wolff delineates a tale of two brothers who have many external differences resulting from their differences in faith. The two brothers are Pete and Donald, and they live in present day California, where their lives are much different from each other. Pete owns a Century 21 franchise and has a wife and two children, and many highly regarded...

Based on empirical evidence from Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Circum-Bohai-Sea region, this study applies the Input-Output (I-O) model and ArcGIS to analyze the interdependence and its dynamic evolution of the shipbuilding industry. In order to study the change cause of shipbuilding industrial structure, we decompose the I-O model to obtain the influential factors including domest...

Urban containment policies, including urban growth boundaries, urban service boundaries and greenbelts, have been extensively discussed worldwide for managing urban growth. This paper focuses on the issues associated with supporting an urban containment plan and its application in China using a planning support system. The background is that the urban containment plan has been enacted as a new ...

In recent years, support vector machine (SVM) has been widely applied in remote sensing image classification, since its experience can also minimize errors and maximize the geometric characteristics of the edge area. In this article SVM classification algorithm will be introduced the remote sensing extraction coastline. Fujian Province Landsat7 ETM + image will be a test region to be classified...

Locusta migratoria tibetensis Chen (Orthoptera: Acrididae) is one of the most harmful species of Acrididae. It causes extensive damage to gramineous crops. The climate mapping program, CLIMEX 3.0, and the GIS software, ArcGIS 9.3, were used to model the current and future potential geographical distribution of L. m. tibetensis. The model predicts that, under current climatic conditions, L. m. t...

Digital change detection is the process that helps in determining the changes associated with land use and land cover properties with reference to geo-registered multi temporal remote sensing data. Puer and Simao, where land use has been greatly affected by recent government policies that aim to balance the need to encourage rural development with ecological stability. These policies include pr...

With the improvements in sensor technologies over the past decade, there has been a significant decrease in the cost of acquisition and increase in the density and accuracy of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Due to its advantages over traditional surveying techniques, LiDAR data are widely preferred for floodplain delineation. But, processing dense LiDAR data is time-consuming and mem...

Agricultural drain tile systems are a significant influence on the condition of wetlands and waterways. The influence of these systems is often difficult to determine since installation records are incomplete or were never kept. Using a modified decision class tree and raster analysis in ArcGIS, a model for predicting the location of land drained by subsurface systems was evaluated. The three-c...
