A common approach to mitigate the effects of ontology heterogeneity is to discover and express the specific correspondences (mappings) between different ontologies. An open research question is: how should such ontology mappings be represented? In recent years several proposals for an ontology mapping representation have been published, but as yet no format is officially standardised or general...

Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate intrasurgical and after surgical, pain and the incidence of after surgical alteration of sensation in the mandible and lower lip when placing implants in the posterior mandible using ridge mapping, panoramic radiography, and infiltration anesthesia. Methods. This was a longitudinal clinical study of healthy patients needing implant placement ...

The Xiemisitai area, West Junggar, Xinjiang, China, is situated at a potential copper mineralization zone in association with small granitic intrusions. In order to identify the alteration zones and mineralization characteristics of the intrusions, Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) and Quickbird data of the study area were evaluated in mapping lithological units, small intrusions, and alt...

Airborne hyperspectral remote sensing data provide rapid, non-destructive, and near laboratory quality reflectance spectra for mineral mapping lithological discrimination, thereby ushering an innovative era of sensing. In this study, NEO HySpex cameras, which comprise 504 spectral channels in the ranges 0.4–1.0 ?m 1.0–2.5 ?m, were mounted on a delta wing XT-912 aircraft. The designed flexibilit...

This research was performed with the objective of evaluating the accuracy of spectral angle mapper (SAM) classification using different reference spectra. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) digital images were applied in the SAM classification in order to map the distribution of hydrothermally altered rocks in the Kerman Cenozoic magmatic arc (KCMA), Iran...
