Remotely sensed land cover datasets have been increasingly employed in studies of wildlife habitat use. However, meaningful interpretation these is dependent on how accurately they estimate features that are important to wildlife. We evaluated the accuracy GAP dataset, which commonly used classify broad categories (e.g., vegetation communities) and LANDFIRE datasets, classifies narrower plant s...

Most commonly, case-based reasoning is applied in domains where attribute value representations of cases are su cient to represent the features relevant to support classi cation, diagnosis or design tasks. Distance functions like the Hamming-distance or their transformation into similarity functions are applied to retrieve past cases to be used to generate the solution of an actual problem. Oft...

The paper gives a general description of the Danube waterway data management in Croatia. For this purpose, we initiated the development of a specialized geographic information system (GIS), the so called River IS, which provides efficient waterway related data management for the Croatian part of the Danube River. In addition, Croatian activities in the Pan-European Programme Consortium Operatio...

The approach of TOPO was originally developed in the FABEL project[1] to support architects in designing buildings with complex installations. Supplementing knowledge-based design tools, which are available only for selected subtasks, TOPO aims to cover the whole design process. To that aim, it relies almost exclusively on archived plans. Input to TOPO is a partial plan, and output is an elabor...

background and objectives: knowledge management (km) has emerged as a pathway towards competitive advantage in current complex industrial environment. the aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between km effectiveness and various organizational factors including social interactions (trust, communication and coordination), infrastructure factors (structure, information technol...

The pervasive influence of temperature on biological systems necessitates a suite of temperature--compensatory adaptations that span all levels of biological organization--from behavior to fine-scale molecular structure. Beginning about 50 years ago, physiological studies conducted with whole organisms or isolated tissues, by such pioneers of comparative thermal physiology as V.Ya. Alexandrov, ...
