wetlands as water resources have a special place in the semi-arid plateau of iran and boundary determination is necessary for their effective conservation and conflict resolution among stakeholders that are dependent on these resources. determination of the wetland boundaries should be commensurate with environmental features affecting on it which normally extend beyond water extent. ecological...

During the past 20,000 years approximately one-quarter of continental landmass Australia was inundated by postglacial sea-level rise, submerging archaeological evidence for use these landscapes. Underwater sites can offer substantial insights into lifeways and adaptations to rapidly changing environments, however vast scale inundation presents a range challenges in discovering such sites. Here ...

This work concerns the problem of modelling evolving prospective agent systems. Inasmuch a prospective agent [1] looks ahead a number of steps into the future, it is confronted with the problem of having several different possible courses of evolution, and therefore needs to be able to prefer amongst them to decide the best to follow as seen from its present state. First it needs a priori prefe...
