geographic information and analysis provide a wide range of data and techniques to monitor and manage natural resources. as an important case, in arid and semi-arid areas, water management is critical for both local governance and citizens. as a result, the estimation of water potential brought by snowmelt runoff and rainfalls seems to be very useful and important for these areas. hydrological ...

poverty can have spatial dimensions. while general figures might show the spatial pattern of poverty, there is a need for more detailed examination of this pattern. relying on simple figures of spatial patterns and ranking regions based on them might be misleading. this paper tries to apply spatial analysis methodsm, namely spatial autoregressive models to find out the impacts of space on the h...

We utilized all Spanish marriage records available at the municipality level from 2005–2007 to model spatial variations in intermarriage. constructed a regime zero-inflated Poisson and grouped-data probit model, with spatially lagged regressors, predict absolute relative presence of intermarriage between Spaniards migrants based on structural characteristics local markets their neighboring area...

With the use of geometric constraints, parametric and variational solid modeling systems enable designers to incorporate relationships between geometric entities into the geometric model and thereby control potential changes in geometry. The objective of developing these constraints or relations is to capture the intent of the designer and restrict changes that may be made by other users of the...

Determining fuel areal density (ρR) in moderate-ρR (100-200 mg/cm 2) cryogenic DT implosions is challenging as it requires new spectrometry techniques and analysis methods to be developed. In this paper, we describe a new method for analyzing the spectrum of knock-on deuterons (KO-D), elastically scattered by primary DT neutrons, from which a fuel ρR can be inferred for values up to ~200 mg/cm ...
