Over the past few decades, growth of population and development economy have had a significant impact on way land is used covered (LULC) in Nile Nyabarongo River basin. However, there limited knowledge about patterns use mechanisms that drive changes these because human activities. Therefore, it crucial to examine how cover are shifting this area, identify factors responsible for changes, forec...

Understanding the spatiotemporal changes in land use and cover (LULC) watershed is crucial for maintaining sustainability of resources. This study intents to understand historical (1972–2015) future (2030–2060) distribution LULC Upper Awash Basin (UAB). The supervised Maximum Likelihood Classifier technique (MLC) was implemented classification. Cellular Automata-Markov (CA–Markov) model employe...

Teluk Ambon Baguala District, is one of the sub-districts in City which has experienced a significant increase population. Along with increasing population, need for residential, infrastructure and industrial land increasing. This will certainly have an impact on conversion other cover to uncontrolled built-up land, environmental damage natural disasters. study aims analyze changes District 201...

Dike-pond is a unique agricultural landscape type in the Pearl River Delta region of China, which has significance for maintenance ecological balance. In recent years, urbanization China developed rapidly, and dike-ponds have been extensively occupied, reducing their regulation ability threatening regional security. Taking Shunde District Foshan as an example, based on remote sensing images fro...

Design: Monte Carlo simulation studies of a decision model comparing two treatments for benign prostatic hypertrophy: watchful waiting (WW) and transurethral prostatectomy (TUR). Measurements: The 95% confidence interval (CI) for the mean of the Markov model; the correlation of a linear approximation with the full Markov model; the predictive performance of the approximation; the information in...

Markov chain models of the coupled gating of intracellular calcium (Ca 2+) channels are often used to study the stochastic dynamic of local Ca2+ release events and whole cell Ca2+ homeostasis. However, the runtime of the Markov chain description of Ca2+ channel gating is exponential in the number of Ca2+ channel states and may thus result in a combinatorial state space explosion when the number...

Center for Wireless Communications, University of California San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr. La Jolla, CA 92093-0407, USA – fax: +1-619-534-2486 – e-mail: fzorzi,[email protected] Abstract— In this paper, we study the throughput and energy efficiency of TCP in the presence of correlated packet errors described by a Markov channel model. We consider a single connection and study the evolution of the ...
