Boundary-spanning communication has been found to be important to various types of organizations’and groups as a source of new information and awareness of environmental changes. Although the importance of formal, public channels in building the knowledge base of a field has long been recognized, most studies of boundary-spanning activity have been limited to direct, personal (informal) communi...

Earth-fill dams stability in steady state seepage condition is very important, especially during earthquakes. Numerical software analyses require accurate and realistic modeling of construction stages. Since earth-fill dams are constructed in different layers, so these conditions should be considered in software modeling to achieve a reasonable design. In this study, an earth-fill dam is modele...

This paper details the application of geometric proportional analogies in the sub-classification of polygons within a topographic (land cover) map. The first part of this paper concerns geometric proportional analogies that include attributes (fill-pattern and fillcolour). We describe an extension to the standard theory of analogy that incorporates attributes into the analogical mapping process...
