3D city modelling from airborne imagery includes mainly two parts: (1) image processing procedures and (2) 3D modelling for manmade objects such as buildings, roads and other objects. Line extraction and stereo matching are usually utilized as an image processing procedures. However, there are some issues for automatic man-made object modelling. In particular, spatial data acquisition of buildi...

This paper discusses analytical modeling in general and briefly reviews the various structural models available for the analysis of wood subassemblies and buildings. Important factors to consider when utilizing these structural models in a reliabilitybased design methodology are also discussed.

ABSTRACT New challenges in the efficient management of cities depend on a deep knowledge of their inner structures. It is therefore very important to have access to reliable models of cities characteristics and organization. This paper aims at providing and validating a stochastic modelization based on statistical data of buildings parameters which can be useful as an entry for many other model...

As we know that the online mining of streaming data is one of the most important issues in data mining. In this paper, we proposed an efficient one.frequent item sets over a transaction-sensitive sliding window), to mine the set of all frequent item sets in data streams with a transaction-sensitive sliding window. An effective bit-sequence representation of items is used in the proposed algorit...

Continuing the Push for Cost Reductions The single most important issue in health care is eliminating unnecessary medical spending. Health costs have traditionally increased at 1% to 2% annually above the growth of the economy. Long-term financial security requires the growth in cost to slow to economic growth or less.
