T paper describes the use of multiple-objective decision analysis to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the quality of an endangered watershed and guide future efforts to improve the quality of the watershed. The Upham Brook Watershed is an urban watershed that lies at the interface of declining inner-city Richmond, Virginia, and growth-oriented Henrico County. A section of stream within t...

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of vascular lesions in patients with a cerebellar watershed infarction. Methods: Clinical data from 178 cases of cerebellar infarction were collected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan results, including diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), a magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and computed tomography angiography (CTA). The cases were divided...

This paper discusses the inverse problem of the watershed. From a partition obtained by the watershed from markers, find the minimal set of markers that reproduces the same watershed partition. We present a solution based on the minimum spanning tree and introduce the concept of marker receptive region. We also review the watershed transform based on the minimum spanning forest problem. Two app...

This paper is devoted to the study of watershed algorithms behavior. Through the introduction of a concept of pass value, we show that most classical watershed algorithms do not allow the retrieval of some important topological features of the image (in particular, saddle points are not correctly computed). An important consequence of this result is that it is not possible to compute sound meas...

/ Watershed-based planning has been held as a vanguard for integrated ecosystem management based on a collaborative process. Watershed managers, however, must contend with conflicts that run much deeper than interests for economic development versus sustaining ecosystem health. With data from a survey of members of watershed organizations, we characterize the valued-based conflicts that watersh...

Watershed nutrient management is essential in minimizing the eutrophication rate of reservoirs. A shortcoming in nutrient management of watershed-reservoir systems has been the lack of successful linking of watershed and water body models to evaluate impact of watershed management options on reservoir water quality. The objectives of this research were to 1) calibrate and validate a Soil and Wa...
