As past and present technical, scientific, literary books and documents are digitalized, more sophisticated tools are required for exploring this textual ocean. Computer assisted reading and analysis of text (CARAT), as practiced in social sciences and the humanities, is more than navigating, recalling, summarizing, and filtering, tools. Even text mining strategies have not been satisfying for ...

An advanced SAR interferometric analysis has been combined with a methodology for the automatic classification of radar reflectors phase histories to interpret slope-failure kinematics and trend of displacements of slow-moving landslides. To accomplish this goal, the large dataset of radar images, acquired in more than 20 years by the two European Space Agency (ESA) missions ERS-1/2 and ENVISAT...

In this letter, a technique for mapping the thermal infrared radiation variation within land cover using both a classification map and a thermal infrared image is proposed. Furthermore, a technique to effectively calculate the average thermal radiance for each land cover from Thematic Mapper (TM)-type sensors, which aquire high resolution of visible and near-infrared images and low resolution o...

Existing implementations of collaborative image interpretation have many limitations for very large satellite imageries, such as inefficient browsing, slow transmission, etc. This article presents a KML-based approach to support distributed, real-time, synchronous collaborative interpretation for remote sensing images in the geo-browser. As an OGC standard, KML (Keyhole Markup Language) has the...

We continue the study of the so-called thematic factorizations of admissible very badly approximable matrix functions. These factorizations were introduced by V.V. Peller and N.J. Young for studying superoptimal approximation by bounded analytic matrix functions. Even though thematic indices associated with a thematic factorization of an admissible very badly approximable matrix function are no...

The comprehension of argument order variations has long posed an interesting challenge for psycholinguistic research. Typically, the processing of varying orders has been described in terms of reconstruction to a base order, i.e. in terms of a positional association between a particular argument and a specific (underlying) position in the phrase structure tree, which guarantees the correct inte...
