Much research has been put forth towards detection, correlating, and prediction of cyber attacks in recent years. As this set of research progresses, there is an increasing need for contextual information of a computer network to provide an accurate situational assessment. Typical approaches adopt contextual information as needed; yet such ad hoc effort may lead to unnecessary or even conflicti...

Mobility assessment for combat vehicles is often a great challenge for the military due to various subjective attributes. The attributes' characteristics vary significantly depending on the vehicle type and its operating environments such as terrain, weather, and human factors. A clear definition and relationship between multiple attributes including human factors is necessary to assess mobilit...

We improve the precision of our induced terrain approach for completing fragmentary river networks by incorporating known nonriver location data. First, we reconstruct a terrain with known terrain attributes, and then we derive a network passing through all the segments using a river derivation scheme. The original implementation honors height samples and hydrological consistency constraints, w...

Our objectives were to: (1) characterize SOC (0 to 1.53-m) within a 37-ha field typical of the Palouse region in eastern Washington; and (2) assess correlations and how much SOC variance could be accounted for by terrain and soil variables. A systematic, non-aligned grid of 177 georeferenced sample locations was established at the Washington State University Cook Agronomy Farm (CAF) near Pullma...

Agricultural practices affect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) hyphae growth and glomalin production, which is a recalcitrant carbon (C) source in soil. Since the spatial distribution of an interesting issue for agronomists terms sequestration, digital maps are cost-free useful approach. For this study, set 120 soil samples was collected from experimental area 310 km2 Sarab region Iran. Soil...

Terrain characteristics, such as slope gradient, slope aspect, profile curvature, contour curvature computed from digital elevation model (DEM), are among the key inputs to digital soil surveys based on geographic information systems (GIS). These terrain attributes are computed over a neighborhood (spatial extent). The objective of this research was to investigate the combi ed effect of DEM res...
