Skull-face overlay is the most time-consuming and error-prone stage in craniofacial superimposition, an important skeleton-based forensic identification technique. This task focuses on achieving the best possible overlay of an unknown skull found and a single ante-mortem image of a candidate missing person. The process is influenced by some sources of uncertainty since two objects of different ...

E-learning took place between information and communication technology on one side and education on the other. Authoring shells are kind of e-learning systems capable for generating intelligent tutoring systems. These systems usually models learner’s knowledge by using overlay method during tests. In this paper is presented an advanced approach in refining and making flexible mark of learner’s ...

With the aim to improve the quality of service of the modern distributed application, we propose a multi-criteria routing algorithm running in a mesh structured overlay network. Using a grid pattern can improve routing remarkably, since it provides alternative and partly disjunctive paths of equal length as well as the ability to measure distances between nodes in the overlay network. A Thermal...

This paper describes the research carried out within the framework of the Ecological Economical Zoning of Minas Gerais (ZEE-MG) to model vegetation vulnerability derived by a number of spatial inference methods. Methods based on weighted overlay, fuzzy logic, and neural networks were compared in terms of visual similarity between maps, the degree of restrictiveness concerning vulnerability, and...

the south khorasan province is located in eastern iran. identifying potential geothermal zones is a pre-requisite for any thermal power plant and recreation center project. geothermal exploration involves a high degree of uncertainty and financial risk, and requires reliable exploration data to constrain development decisions. the present study focuses on identifying the potential zones of geot...

The methods used in commercial GIS packages for both the representation and analysis of geographic data are inadequate, because they do not handle uncertainty. This leads to information loss and inaccuracy in analysis with adverse consequences in the spatial decision-making process. The incorporation of fuzzy set methodologies into a DBMS repository for the application domain of GIS should be b...

In order to partition nodes into the nearest MIs (Multicast Islands) in overlay multicast network (OMN), a MI partitioning model is designed. The model uses RTT (Round Trip Time) of links and the network-accessing frequencies of nodes as properties to partition nodes to the nearest MIs, whose centre are called MSNs (Multicast Service Nodes). Also, the similarity degree between nodes and relevan...
