Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging can characterize diffusion and perfusion of normal and diseased tissues, and IVIM parameters are authentically determined by using cumbersome least-squares method. We evaluated a simple technique for the determination of IVIM parameters using geometric analysis of the multiexponential signal decay curve as an alternative to the least-squares method fo...

The GEO 600 gravitational wave detector located near Hannover in Germany is part of an international network of gravitational wave observatories. As more and more of these detectors approach their final configuration, the focus is shifted from commissioning to detector characterization. At the moment, GEO 600, the first detector using advanced technologies such as dual recycling, is preparing f...

Perspectives within social interaction situations are often shaped by geo-historical contexts derived from knowledge of indirectly experienceable phenomena such as geographic scale entities and past events that are communicated through external representations such as maps and historical accounts. Although geo-historical context is important for proving meaning to collaborative situations, no f...

As the number of space debris on earth’s orbit increases steadily, the need to survey, track and catalogue them becomes of key importance. In this context, CNES has been using the TAROT Telescopes (Rapid Telescopes for Transient Objects owned and operated by CNRS) for several years to conduct studies about space surveillance and tracking. Today, two testbeds of services using the TAROT telescop...

There are several approaches to extract geo-knowledge from documents and textual fields in databases. Most of them focus on detecting geographic evidence, from which the associated geographic location can be determined. This paper is based on a different premise – geo-knowledge can be extracted even from non-geographic evidence, taking advantage of the linked data paradigm. The paper gives an o...
