Penang Island is an important economic center in Malaysia and most of its population live the coastal areas. Although previous studies have shown that it vulnerable to rising sea levels, combination sea-level rise local land subsidence would be devastating. Therefore, objective this study apply model estimate inundated areas which relate level by 2100. Land quantified SBAS-InSAR technique on ba...

Why do large positive earnings surprises occur? The literature often treats large earnings surprises as the exogenous event that precipitates subsequent stock price drift, but analyst expectations and earnings realizations are the result of conscious decisions made by analysts and managers. While neither analysts nor managers have an obvious incentive for an extreme deviation between expected a...

For the past three years undergraduate students at Florida A&M University have been exposed to the practice of software testing, both as part of the senior projects course, and in an elective course in software testing. Because these courses provide a mere introduction to software testing, the students are presented a framework for understanding the theory, management and practice of testing an...

The presented paper describes the geostatistical analysis of PSInSAR data. This analysis was preceded by short description of PSInSAR technique. The geostatistical computations showed in this article were performed with the R open-source software containing the gstat package. The analysis contains variograms computing (directional variograms) and ordinary kriging interpolation. The computationa...

The spatial prediction of point values from areal data of the same attribute is addressed within the general geostatistical framework of change of support; the term support refers to the domain informed by each datum or unknown value. It is demonstrated that the proposed geostatistical framework can explicitly and consistently account for the support differences between the available areal data...

LINK TO PAPER Evaluation of an Assisted Feature Extraction System Track: Remote Sensing Imagery Author(s): Michael A. O'Brien The extraction of geospatial information from imagery is generally a labor-intensive process. Automated tools that could assist analysts in this process would be of tremendous benefit for production at the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA). This paper examines a...
