This paper is an attempt to help in the area of regional management. The quality of life of people in cities and villages is dependent of quality of regional management, because the landscape and environment are, today, the main aspects of quality of life. The shortage of knowledge can be problem and the reasons of insufficiently care about landscape. But, especially in the small villages, solu...

A major error component of Global Positioning System (GPS) is the ionospheric delay. Ionopspheric error can be reduced by a dual frequency receiver using a linear combination technique that can not be applied with a single frequecy receiver. However, an accurate ionospheric error modeling for single-frequency receiver is required. Due to the nonlinearity of the ionospheric error, a highly nonli...

With the development of globalization and regional economic integration, regional markets linked with a common currency emerge, in which investors from domestic market are allowed to trade in foreign markets. Empirical studies have evidenced extensively the existence of co-movement of asset prices or cross-correlation in market returns among these markets, especially in global event. However, t...

The recent development of regional climate models which can potentially produce long-term (multi-year to multi-decadal) simulations at high spatial resolution (5-50 km), opens a range of possibilities for interactive coupling with ecosystem, hydrology, ocean-sea-ice and chemistry models on the regional scale. Such coupling offers two primary advantages: (1) It is accomplished at scales more con...

This paper outlines some important aspects of modeling oceanic fronts in the context of featureoriented regional modeling for the deep sea and the Global Coastal Ocean. Previously developed forms of feature models for different types of fronts are presented in a generalized approach. The large-scale meandering frontal systems such as the Gulf Stream, Kuroshio and Brazil current can be represent...

Latent growth curve (LGC) models estimate change over time in a cohort's serially obtained measurements. We have applied LGC techniques to a spatial distribution of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology using autopsy data from 435 participants in the Honolulu-Asia Aging Study. Neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) and neuritic plaques (NP) were distributed across differently ordered sets of anatomical regi...

long recognized.3-5 Consequently, there has been a growing interest in investigating what changes in air quality may be brought about by the possible future changes in climate. The common assumption has been that warmer temperatures accompanying climate change will enhance pollution. However, due to the complex interplay of meteorology and chemistry in the formation of pollutants such as PM2.5 ...

This paper presents techniques for interactive visualization of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), a free-surface, terrain-following coordinate ocean circulation model. We have designed an interactive visualization program that allows a casual user to control the forcing conditions applied to ROMS using a graphical user interface and observe the results in real-time. We modified portion...

The ability of receptor models to estimate regional contributions to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was assessed with synthetic, speciated datasets at Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge (BRIG) in New Jersey and Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM) in Tennessee. Synthetic PM2.5 chemical concentrations were generated for the summer of 2002 using the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ)...
