Current collaborative mapping projects using locative media technologies have often overlooked the conventions of the base map as a site for reinvention. Although these projects are ambitious in their aim to propose alternative organizations of urban space through the way it is digitally mapped, they remain bounded by datasets that reinforce a Cartesian and static notion of urban space. This pa...

Derivations are discussed in Appendix B. The proofs of Theorems 1.1 and 1.2 both use tensor products. For those two proofs, the reader should be comfortable with the fact that injectivity and surjectivity of a linear map of vector spaces can be detected after a base extension: a linear map is injective or surjective if and only if its base extension to a larger field is injective or surjective....

Between 59 and 60 min on the Escherichia coli genetic map, there is a highly conserved sequence of 29 base pairs, containing an inverted repeat of seven base pairs that appears 14 times, 32 or 33 base pairs apart, downstream of the iap gene coding region. About 24 kilobase pairs downstream of the 14 repeats, a similar 29-base-pair sequence with a spacing of 32 base pairs appears seven times. Nu...

An innovative new technology, optical mapping, is used to infer the genome map of the location of short sequence patterns called restriction sites. The technology, developed by David Schwartz, allows the visualization of the maps of randomly located single molecules around a million base pairs in length. The genome map is constructed from overlapping these shorter maps. The mathematical and com...

We study the relative Hilbert scheme of a family of nodal (or smooth) curves, over a base of arbitrary dimension, via its (birational) cycle map, going to the relative symmetric product. We show the cycle map is the blowing up of the discriminant locus, which consists of cycles with multiple points. We study certain loci called node scrolls which play in important role in the geometry of the cy...

The specific interactions between base pairs and amino acids were studied by the multicanonical Monte Carlo method. We sampled numerous interaction configurations and side-chain conformations of the amino acid by the multicanonical algorithm, and calculated the free energies of the interactions between an amino acid at given Cα positions and a fixed base pair. The contour maps of free energy de...

This paper presents a novel method which automatically detects differences in colon cell images, extracts the required texture data and then classifies the cells into normal or malignant. The images are captured by a CCD camera from a laboratory microscope slide. The new system is implemented by fuzzifying image texture descriptors from the Fourier power spectrum and greyscale statistical co-oc...

We develop a two-warehouse production model with imperfect items. Production rate is taken as the linear combination of on-hand inventory and demand, while demand rate is taken as function of time. Most of the researchers consider that the production rate is independent from the demand rate. In this paper we assume production rate as being dependent on the demand rate, and this assumption is mo...

This paper focuses on the use of the Land-based Mobile Mapping System (LMMS) for the unscheduled updates of a National Base Map, which has nationwide coverage and was made using aerial photogrammetry. The objectives of this research are to improve the weak points of LMMS surveying for its application to the updates of a National Base Map (NBM), which has rigorous accuracy and quality standards....

Using Scopus data, we construct a global map of science based on aggregated journal-journal citations from 1996-2012 (N of journals = 20,554). This base map enables users to overlay downloads from Scopus interactively. Using a single year (e.g., 2012), results can be compared with mappings based on the Journal Citation Reports at the Web-of-Science (N = 10,936). The Scopus maps are more detaile...
