Earth has sustained continental glaciation several times in its past. Because glaciers ground to low elevations, sedimentary records of ice contact can be preserved from regions that were below base level, or subject subsidence. In such regions, glaciated pavements, ice-contact deposits as glacial till with striated clasts, and glaciolacustrine glaciomarine strata dropstones reveal clear signs ...

Public space – which comprises streets and sidewalks, parks and plazas – is one of the justly celebrated aspects of cities. If cities are rich arenas of social diversity and crucibles of civic participation, it is their public spaces which facilitate the coming together of diverse populations since there is ‘a presumption that within these spaces we will, necessarily, encounter “others” in all ...

Scaling AI algorithms to large problems requires that these algorithms work together to harness their respective strengths. We introduce a method of automatically constructing HHMMs using the output of a sequential data-mining algorithm and sequential prediction algorithm. We present the theory of this technique and demonstrate results using the MavHome intelligent environment.
