As geothermal energy is of increasing importance as a renewable energy source, there is a high demand for comprehensive studies to prevent failure during implementation, as is the case in Staufen im Breisgau, Germany. The drilling of seven wells for the geothermal heating of the city hall in 2007 is thought to have disturbed the existing hydro-geological system in the complex structured transit...

A series of studies in urban growth involve the segmentation of urban built up area. This segmentation may used as input to geospatial models to quantify and map urban growth. The segmentation may be used as well to study the dynamics of urban growth on a certain time span. We present in this work a method to segment urban built up area from Landsat multi-spectral images. Our method uses the ex...

this study used quantifying factors affecting desertification based on the iranian model of desertification potentialassessment (imdpa) to assess the current status of desertification in bordekhun region, iran. bordekhun region has anarea of 214.11 km2 and is located near the city of daiyer in boushehr province. first, a working unit map of the regionwas selected as the basic map for evaluation...

particulate and gaseous emissions of pollutants from industries and auto-exhausts are responsible for rising discomfort, aggravates respiratory and cardiovascular. in this study, a system for air quality information in tehran city has been developed, using an online web-based geographic information system. this web-based gis application allows users to recognize areas with a potential increase ...

BACKGROUND Twitter has shown some usefulness in predicting influenza cases on a weekly basis in multiple countries and on different geographic scales. Recently, Broniatowski and colleagues suggested Twitter's relevance at the city-level for New York City. Here, we look to dive deeper into the case of New York City by analyzing daily Twitter data from temporal and spatiotemporal perspectives. Al...

in order to assess the outing mkhmlkvh forest park area of 430 hectares located in the northern city of khorramabad, gis technology was used. maps of the slope, direction and altitude in the software and arcview3.2 arcgis9.2 were prepared. then combine them with a map of the earth was formed. rvyhmgzary map with the land, soil and vegetation classes, environmental unit maps were prepared. units...

today, with the advanced statistical techniques and neural networks, predictive models of distribution have been rapidly developed in ecology. purpose of this research is to predict and map the distribution of tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae) using mlp neural networks combined with genetic algorithm in surface of farm. population data of pest was obtained in 2016 by sampling in 1...

DNA computing has recently generated much interest as a result of pioneering work by Adleman and Lipton, who described DNA algorithms for solving problems considered NP-hard by computer scientists. Their DNA algorithms worked on graph representations of the problem, but no indication was provided about how information on the arcs between nodes on a graph could be handled. The aim of this paper ...
