The respiratory-related evoked potential (RREP) is increasingly used to study the neural processing of respiratory signals. However, little is known about the cortical origins of early (Nf, P1, N1) and later RREP components (P2, P3). By using high-density EEG, we studied cortical sources of RREP components elicited by short inspiratory occlusions in 18 healthy volunteers (6 female, mean age 20....

As was made clear in the Introduction to this section on prehistoric maps, historians of cartography have had little to say on prehistoric cartography in the Old World. Neither Richard Andree nor Wolfgang Drober said anything at all. 1 In 1910 Bruno F. Adler discussed two decorated bone plaques that a German antiquarian, Fritz Rodiger, had suggested were maps, but he omitted both from his corpu...

This paper proposes a system for recognizing numeric strings from topographical maps, which is composed of the automatic recognition stage and the interactive recognition stage. In this method, uncertain numeric strings extracted through the automatic recognition stage based on topographical map feature only, are confirmed and corrected by the interactive recognition stage. Therefore we can obt...

In this paper, we have developed a HiTi (Hierarchical MulTi) graph model for structuring large topographical road maps to speed up the minimum cost route computation. The HiTi graph model provides a novel approach to abstracting and structuring a topographical road map in a hierarchical fashion. We propose a new shortest path algorithm named SPAH, which utilizes HiTi graph model of a topographi...

The visualization of social phenomena through classical thematic mapping often leads to unsatisfying representations. Classical political referendum maps, for instance, lead to an underestimation of the opinions expressed by populations of large urban agglomerations. Classical maps of BIP, religious belief, or social segregation give a distorted image of the world by linking the relative import...

To characterize temporal aspects of information processing in the human visual field, we studied the topographical distribution of temporal and non-temporal performance parameters in 95 normally sighted subjects. Visual field maps of double-pulse resolution thresholds (DPR) (the minimum detectable temporal gap between two light stimuli) and simple visual reaction times (RT) (measuring the speed...

The neuronal networks in the mammals cortex are characterized by the coexistence of hierarchy, modularity, short and long range interactions, spatial correlations, and topographical connections. Particularly interesting, the latter type of organization implies special demands on developing systems in order to achieve precise maps preserving spatial adjacencies, even at the expense of isometry. ...

Abstract For the implementation of environmental technical projects, such as urban forest management, a key element is topographical and cartographic mapping area. Topographical instruments are based on digital, aerial or satellite information’s that can be used for producing maps. This research aims to highlight UAVs in combination with low-cost survey methods, produce accepted accuracy how we...

1. To prepare various thematic layers such as drainage density, lineament density, slope, lithology, geomorphology and landuse/land cover using SOI topographical maps, remote sensing data and GIS. 2. To prioritize the weightages of individual themes and feature score depending upon their suitability to hold groundwater. 3. To prepare the integrated final groundwater potential map (GPM) using th...
