Lake areas in Chinese urban fringes are under increasing pressure of urbanization. Consequently, the conflict between rapid urban sprawl and he maintenance of water bodies in such areas urgently needs to be addressed. An integrated GIS-based analysis system (IGAS) for supporting and-use management of lake areas in urban fringes was developed in this paper. The IGAS consists of modules of land-u...

The three dimensional circuit (3D-IC) brings forth new challenges to physical design such as allocation and management of through-silicon-vias (TSVs). Meanwhile, the thermal issues in 3D-IC becomes significant necessitating the use of active cooling schemes such as micro-channel liquid coolings. Both TSVs and micro-channels go through the interlayer regions of 3D-IC resulting in potential resou...

Land use/cover in Northeast China went through extensive changes during the 1990s. This report explores the interaction between these changes and the environment, and the implication of these changes for rational allocation of water resources. Two maps of land use/cover produced from 1990 and 2000 Landsat TM satellite images were overlaid in Arc Info to reveal changes in land cover. Results ind...

The combination of GIS with fuzzy set theory and deterministic models is known as GIS Fuzzy Modelling (GISFM). GISFM was adopted for support sustainable land use planning. In particular GISFM is applied for solution of the problem of investment allocation into worse part of the land drainage systems located in the Saint-Petersburg suburbs. The missing data about loads on water bodies by agricul...
