In emerging database applications that deal with large sets of multidimensional data, the performance of the query system significantly depends on the performance of its access methods and the underlying disk system. In recent years, hard disks are manufactured with multiple physical zones, where seek times and data transfer rates vary significantly across the zones. However, there is a marked ...

Three of the primary enhancements of ArcGIS 8.3 include improved support for linear referencing, the ability to do disconnected editing, and topology. This presentation will focus on the application of these enhancements as they relate to pipeline GIS. Dynamic Segmentation of linear pipeline features in a geodatabase will be discussed with particular attention to ArcGIS 8.3 features. Disconnect...

The whole word recognition process described in this report aims at limiting the recognition domain, i.e. the size of the lexicon used for a particular word. The process consists of the following stages: • calculating the word zoning information and the position of ascenders/descenders within the word; • building word shape information using the obtained zoning information; • locating words of ...

In recent decades, the world has experienced unprecedented urban growth which endangers the green environment in and around urban areas. In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) based model is developed to predict future impacts of urban and agricultural expansion on the uplands of Deepor Beel, a Ramsar wetland in the city area of Guwahati, Assam, India, by 2025 and 2035 respectively. S...

To study crop recommendation fertilization of the rural farmers as the main in our country, the paper took towns and villages of Hua County as the study area, took recommendation fertilization of wheat, maize and peanut as the study object, designed model components of crop balance fertilization by using Object-Oriented technique, and developed the decision-making system about crop recommendati...

We present a maximum entropy classifier that significantly improves the accuracy of Argumentative Zoning in scientific literature. We examine the features used to achieve this result and experiment with Argumentative Zoning as a sequence tagging task, decoded with Viterbi using up to four previous classification decisions. The result is a 23% F-score increase on the Computational Linguistics co...

Abstract In agriculture, agroclimatic zoning procedures through geographic information systems provide producers, technical assistants, decision‐makers, and investors with land‐use planning decision‐making tools. This study aims at identifying delimiting areas suitable for the cultivation of rubber [ Hevea brasiliensis Willd. ex A. Juss.) Müll. Arg.] in Colombia, using species requirements a sc...

In the case of increasing water scarcity, determining demand irrigated land is an important process. The for lands and crops in Republic Uzbekistan realized through nine hydromodular zones, which were developed regarding Bespolov’s methodology 1980s. However, order to determine regime each crop field, it necessary create electronic zoning maps based on GIS technologies. This study uses technolo...
