We present an approach to modeling human interpretation of (real) geographic maps. While in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) the limitations for describing geographic knowledge mainly stem from the limitations of this knowledge itself, paper maps pose additional constraints on the representation of spatial configurations. We examine maps as representation media with respect to cartographic ...

Mobile map applications such as Google Maps often don’t provide detailed information about facility areas amusement parks and university campuses. In addition, there are some people who cannot reach their destination just by reading a flat map. Therefore, in this research, we have developed an AR (Augmented Reality) navigation application for facilities to solve these problems. using Kalman fil...

“a city can be read through its streets”. stéphane douady, professor of dynamics of out-of-equilibrium systems in paris diderot university began his speech with these words. he continued by explaining the significance of the street structure: “when we think of a city, we first think of the houses. while they can be replaced when destroyed or abandoned, the streets remain stable”. dr. douady’s m...

We describe for any Riemannian manifold M a certain scheme ML, lying in between the first and second neighbourhood of the diagonal of M . Semiconformal maps between Riemannian manifolds are then analyzed as those maps that preserve ML; harmonic maps are analyzed as those that preserve the (LeviCivita-) mirror image formation inside ML. Introduction For any Riemannian manifold M , we describe a ...

In this paper we investigate the structure of maps on classes of Hilbert space operators leaving the determinant of linear combinations invariant. Our main result is an infinite dimensional version of the famous theorem of Frobenius about determinant preserving linear maps on matrix algebras. In that theorem of ours, we use the notion of (Fredholm) determinant of bounded Hilbert space operators...

this study investigated the effect of reciprocal teaching (rt) on efl learners’ reading comprehension. fifty intermediate learners participated in the study and were sampled as the experimental (n = 25) and control groups (n = 25). participants were male and ranged in age from 15 to 16. the reading section of key english test (ket, 2010) was used as the pretest to assess the participants’ entry...

the present study attempted to introduce shared reading as one of the most effective techniques in cultivating the learners’ reading and writing abilities. to this end, 50 homogenous students were assigned to the control and experimental groups following the administration of a standardized english proficiency test. thenceforth, based on writing and reading pretest scores of the learners on a g...

The purpose of the current study is to examine map reading skills Social Studies pre-service teachers with orienteering, which an activity-based and more active practice. To this end, a total 10 students attending Department Teaching in Education Faculty Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University taking course Map Skills Applications were selected. An analytical rubric consisting four criteria scored ...
