From the perspective of spatial information sharing and interoperation, the concept of geo-ontology has been proposed in this paper. At first, a brief introduction to the Geo-Ontology concept has been described and the hierarchical structure of geo-ontology has also been analyzed. Then, the traditional method of ontology construction has been discussed and the existing problems have also been s...

In this paper we present the Edinburgh Geo-annotator, a web-based annotation tool for the manual geo-resolution of location mentions in text using a gazetteer. The annotation tool has an interlinked text and map interface which lets annotators pick correct candidates within the gazetteer more easily. The geo-annotator can be used to correct the output of a geoparser or to create gold standard g...

We study a bijective map from integer partitions to the prime factorizations of integers that we call “supernorm” partition, in which multiplicities parts are mapped factors natural numbers. The supernorm is connected family maps define, suggests potential apply techniques partition theory identify and prove multiplicative properties integers. As an application “supernormal” mappings (i.e., per...

The in vitro antibacterial activity of ginger (Zingiber officinale) essential oil (GEO) was tested against five Gram-negative and Gram-positive fish pathgenic bacteria isolated from farmed olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in Korea. According to the results of disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentration (MIC and MBC) tests, GEO was active against most of the ...

Metals used in everyday life are produced from ores occurring in the Earth’s crust. Geological processes are known to concentrate minerals to form ores of economic value. Mineral processing engineers concentrate these ores by mechanical and physico-chemical methods while the extractive metallurgist extracts the metals by chemical means.

The last two decades have shown a major shift from stand-alone software systems to networked ones. As with all information system domains, Geographic Information Systems (GISs) have been influenced to a large extent by recent internet developments, resulting in an increasing availability of client/server applications using distributed geo-(web-)services, such as interactive maps, route planners...
