Offers New Insight on Uncertainty ModellingFocused on major research relative to spatial information, Uncertainty Modelling and Quality Control for Spatial Data introduces methods for managing uncertainties—such as data of questionable quality—in geographic information science (GIS) applications. By using original research, current advancement, and emerging developments in the field, the authors compile various aspects of spatial data quality control. From multidimensional and multi-scale data integration to uncertainties in spatial data mining, this book launches into areas that are rarely addressed. Topics covered include: New developments of uncertainty modelling, quality control of spatial data, and related research issues in spatial analysisSpatial statistical solutions in spatial data qualityEliminating systematic error in the analytical results of GIS applicationsA data quality perspective for GIS function workflow designData quality in multi-dimensional integrationResearch challenges on data quality in the integration and analysis of data from multiple sources A new approach for imprecision management in the qualitative data warehouseA multi-dimensional quality assessment of photogrammetric and LiDAR datasets based on a vector approachAn analysis on the uncertainty of multi-scale representation for street-block settlement Uncertainty Modelling and Quality Control for Spatial Data serves university students, researchers and professionals in GIS, and investigates the uncertainty modelling and quality control in multi-dimensional data integration, multi-scale data representation, national or regional spatial data products, and new spatial data mining methods.

Wind-induced Vibration of Long Span Suspension Bridges in mountainous areas includes the author’s research on such bridges and adopts a combination of on-site measurements, wind tunnel tests, theoretical analyses and numerical calculations to discuss: the characteristics and parameters of the wind environment at bridge sites; the buffeting response of bridges under the effect of winds on bridges in mountainous areas; the vortex response of wide-bodied flat steel box girders; chattering characteristics (i.e. noise characteristics); and the vibration characteristics of the wind-vehicle-bridge system.Includes detailed analyses of complex wind environments at bridge sites, along with the impact of pulsating wind on such bridgesDescribes how to reduce fatigue damage caused by buffeting in bridge design and operationProposes a new wind speed calculation system and its impact on vibrationHelps bridge builders and civil and structural engineers design bridges for operation in mountainous areas

The early 21st century marks a new era in space exploration. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States, The European Space Agency (ESA), as well as space agencies of Japan, China, India, and other countries have sent their probes to the Moon, Mars, and other planets in the solar system. Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping introduces original research and new developments in the areas of planetary remote sensing, photogrammetry, mapping, GIS, and planetary science resulting from the recent space exploration missions. Topics covered include: Reference systems of planetary bodiesPlanetary exploration missions and sensorsGeometric information extraction from planetary remote sensing dataFeature information extraction from planetary remote sensing dataPlanetary remote sensing data fusionPlanetary data management and presentation Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping will serve scientists and professionals working in the planetary remote sensing and mapping areas, as well as planetary probe designers, engineers, and planetary geologists and geophysicists. It also provides useful reading material for university teachers and students in the broader areas of remote sensing, photogrammetry, cartography, GIS, and geodesy.

This book explores the incorporation of plasmonic nanostructures into organic solar cells, which offers an attractive light trapping and absorption approach to enhance power conversion efficiencies.

This book demonstrates the recent advances in rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) for differential diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Interstitial lung disease is a group of diffuse parenchymal lung disorders affecting the interstitium, a part of the lung's anatomic structure, causing inflammation, scarring, or excess fluid.
