We report on the experiments undertaken by the NICTA I2D2 Group as part of GeoCLEF 2006, as well as post-GeoCLEF evaluations and improvements to the submitted system. In particular, we used techniques to assign probabilistic likelihoods to geographic candidates for each identified geo-term, and a probabilistic IR engine. A normalisation process that adjusts term weights, so as to prevent expand...

from the perspective of the states that their foreign policy is based on geo-economy, the economy is the most important mechanism of influence in target areas. therefore, with the strengthening of trade relations would be in an appropriate level to increase the mutual relations.  after the independence of central eurasian states, geographical - political events of central eurasia led to the cre...

The Global Earth Observation (GEO) Grid infrastructure is an E-Science infrastructure which enables global research activity and drives geosciences to get a significant discovery or achievement in their fields. The main design principal of the GEO Grid system is the open and standard protocol-based architecture. It supports creation of a virtual organization (VO) by integrating data and computi...

Image segmentation is a key prerequisite for object-based classification. However, it is often difficult, or even impossible, to determine a unique optimal segmentation scale due to the fact that various geo-objects, and even an identical geo-object, present at multiple scales in very high resolution (VHR) satellite images. To address this problem, this paper presents a novel unsupervised objec...

Geographic information (also called geo-information, spatial information or geospatial information) plays an increasingly important role in our society. Location Based Services, applications for urban planning, disaster management systems rely on geo-data and in many cases up-to-date geo-information is crucial, e.g. in disaster response systems. In this paper we focus on a special kind of geo-i...

Geo-neutrinos emitted by heat-producing elements (U, Th and K) represent a unique probe of the Earth interior. The characterization of their fluxes is subject, however, to rather large and highly correlated uncertainties. The geochemical covariance of the U, Th and K abundances in various Earth reservoirs induces positive correlations among the associated geo-neutrino fluxes, and between these ...

The field of Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) has become very popular because of the deep research done in that area in last few years. MANET has advantage of operating without fixed infrastructure and also it can tolerate many changes in the network topology. The MANET uses different routing protocols for End to End Packet delivery. This paper is subjected to the Reactive routing protocols on the ...

In this paper we introduce non-abelian zeta functions and more generally non-abelian L-functions for number fields, based on geo-arithmetical cohomology, geo-arithmetical truncation and Langlands’ theory of Eisenstein series. More precisely, in Chapter I, we start with a new yet natural geo-arithmetical cohomology and a geo-arithmetical stability in order to define genuine non-abelian zeta func...

A cross-sectional study of the nutritional status of schoolchildren aged 7-10 years from the Kuala Betis Resettlement Scheme in Gua Musang, Kelantan was done. A total of 291 schoolchildren were examined but only 183 (62.9%) fecal samples were returned for geo-helminth infection analysis. The prevalence of stunting was 40.4% and underweight was 28.4%. A total of 127 schoolchildren (69.4%) were p...
