Improved geological mapping using landsat-5 TM data in Weixi area, Yunnan province China

Different image processing algorithms have been evaluated in the context of geological mapping using Landsat TM data. False color composites, the principal component imagery, and IHS decorrelation stretching method for Landsat-5 TM data have been found useful for delineating the regional geological features, mainly to provide the maximum geological information of the studied area . The study testifies that using which image processing yields best results for geological mapping in arid and semiarid regions by preserving morphological and spectral information. Generally, the studied area can be divided into three main geological units: Basaltic intrusive rocks, Metamorphic with varying intensities and Sedimentary rocks.     

Disaster Declarations and Major Hazard Occurrences in the United States∗

This article examines the potential geographic inequities between major hazard events and U.S. presidential disaster declarations at the county level from 1965 through 2004. The previous literature suggests that the disaster declaration process is highly politicized and not necessarily based on need. We hypothesize that there is a spatial inequity between the receipt of disaster declarations and the distribution of major hazard events. The results indicate that the geographic distribution of disaster declarations is not totally explained by the spatial pattern of major hazard events. In some locales, state experience in submitting disaster requests and achieving success translates into more disaster declarations (holding everything else constant), providing further evidence of the political nature of the process.     

Evaluation of a Model for Predicting Simultaneous Contrast on Color Maps

Perceptions of colors of individual map symbols are affected by simultaneous contrast, or induction, from surrounding colors. In an experiment with human subjects, reaction times were significantly slower, with significantly more errors, for test maps on which an induction model predicted that colors would be misinterpreted. Reaction times and error rates improved significantly with map color adjustments that the model predicted would remove induced confusions. These results represent progress toward establishing objective guidance for the design of effective color schemes in computer-assisted mapping environments common in cartography, geographic information systems, and scientific visualization.     

Population landscape: a geometric approach to studying spatial patterns of the US urban hierarchy

We present a geometric and graphic approach to studying spatial patterns of urban hierarchy in the US. The multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram is found to be effective for visualizing theoretical regions delineated by socio‐economic variables. The population landscape of the continental US demonstrates overall and stepwise patterns reflecting population, neighborhood and distance, with overwhelming influence from huge metropolitan areas. Stepwise exploration and cluster analysis of the spatial pattern reveal an urban hierarchy. Attributes and arrangement are the two important factors of urban hierarchy, with attribute having a stronger local influence and arrangement having a stronger global influence. The study also presents a variation of Zipf's law to visualize the rank‐size distribution from tabular and statistical space to map space.     

加权频谱相干法在识别地层各向异性类型中的应用

利用交叉偶极声波数据可以提取出快慢弯曲波曲线,在此基础上利用加权频谱相干法可以稳定的提取出快慢弯曲波频散曲线.利用快慢弯曲波频散曲线的形态能够区分各向异性的类型.若产生交叉现象,则证明应力作用明显.若两者重合,则证明该点地层属于各向同性地层.当地层中存在页岩、裂缝等地层固有的各向异性特征时,快慢弯曲波曲线在整个频段分开,并在低频处逼近地层真实慢度.     

磁敏感加权成像临床应用和在血管瘤评估中的研究进展

磁敏感加权成像是一种近年发展的MRI新技术,在中枢神经系统疾病中的诊断及鉴别诊断中的重要作用已经得到了广大临床大夫的认可,具有很高的应用价值和拓展前景。SWI作为常规MRI检查的重要补充序列,采用3D梯度回波扫描,完全速度补偿,射频脉冲扰相等技术,具有三维、高分辨率、高信噪比的特点,可以更好地分析软组织血管瘤的结构成分,鉴别活动性出血、机化血栓、钙化及铁沉积等。而且SWI相位图能够清楚显示瘤体内部新生血管、瘤体周围静脉血管位置和形态改变,更有利于准确评估病变范围及程度,为血管瘤定位及定性诊断可以提供更多的影像信息,对于临床诊断及治疗方案的制定、预后评估都具有重要的应用价值。
