Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) data is increasingly used in urban stormwater modeling. The undirected use of such data may waste economic and human resources. In order to provide guidance for practitioners to efficiently use different data collection resources, as well as give a reference for future works, this paper aims to assess the effects of using free access G...

In this paper, we introduce a semantic modeling project by implementing a southeast China vernacular urban modeling system. This system converts the basic modeling components of geometry units (e.g. point, line, triangle etc.) into the semantic components (e.g. street, block, patch, house etc.). To implement the urban modeling system semantically, an XML based description and DTD[31] based veri...

during a very long period of time, civil engineers have been the only ones to be designated as the experts for underground space, while the planners and architects were the ones of the development at the surface. cities worldwide tend to overlook an invaluable asset that lies beneath their surfaces. most cities and urban regions are unaware of the benefits underground space use has to offer, bo...

This paper analyzes urban growth boundary delimitation in the urban master plan in Shaanxi Province and chooses Baoji, Weinan and Ankang as the research object. The three cities have delimited urban growth boundaries. This paper compares interrelationships between urban spatial structure, urban size, delimitation of the four areas, boundaries of planning area, natural boundaries, artificial bou...

black zira (bunium persicum) is a medicinal plant and spice, naturally grows in iran. the aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of different concentrations of bunium persicum essential oil (eo; including 0, 0.08, 0.16 and 0.24%), three incubation temperatures (15, 25 and 35˚c), three levels of ph (5, 6 and 7 adjusted by hydrochloric acid), and three inoculum size (102, 103 a...

context:in this review, we discuss empirical and stoichiometric models, which have been developed recently in ssf processes and the influence of environmental conditions on the variables of these models. additionally, new studies on modeling of product formation are also mentioned. evidence acquisition:solid-state fermentation (ssf) is recognized as a cheap process for producing many valuable p...

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is increasingly recognized as an effective tool for urban modeling. As a part of NASA's multidisciplinary project, this article develops GIS modeling methods of constructing measurements of urban components to monitor and model urban respiration. The first step is to create an Oracle database that stores spatially and temporally referenced measures of trace...

In this paper we present a model of urban growth and its preliminary application to a case study of the phenomena of residential development in the setting of the eastern periphery of Rome, Italy’s capital city. The modeling approach we use synthesises the two typical paradigms widespread in the community of quantitative urban planning: the traditional one, based on cellular automata (CA), and ...

Urban planning experts often use computer models to help evaluate alternative land use policies, particularly as they interact with transportation and environmental decisions. The greatly increased data volume provided by new land use models makes their effective use difficult without suitable visualization tools. We present UrbanView, a visualization system for urban modeling, and describe a u...
