The author describes four main work directions of creating geophysical maps using modern software, represented by specialized systems (SSS) and geographic information ones (GIS). The technological features of data processing practice stages and creating geophysical fields’ digital models, the compilation and designing geophysical maps’ thematic content as results of geological and geophysical works are considered. The main tasks of combined use of GIS and SSS tools were identified. To overcome these shortcomings, additional tools were developed for ArcGIS, as the leading system in the oil and gas industry. They ensure the preservation of design parameters for color scales adopted in the SSS; automatic calculation of the labels’ rotation angle to the objects of point localization; maintaining the layer structure of map projects at exporting to publishing program formats. The solutions considered in the article can be applied for compilation and design of isoline maps in some other areas of thematic cartography, and can also contribute to improving the cartographic component of domestic geological and geophysical software products and geographic information systems.

Full textAbstract:
Several arc models representing a disconnector’s closing operation in a 252kV gas insulated switchgear (GIS) are implemented with a computer program ATP/EMTP to simulate very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO). Arc models are used as black box models in connection with a test circuit. Theoretical bases, formulas and realizations of these models are described. Arc models’ parameters are mainly pinpointed by fitting their simulation results with VFTO waveforms measured in a real 252kV GIS test setup. Comparisons between arc models’ simulation results and measurement indicate that dynamic arc models based on Cassie and Mayr theories give more realistic results with particular regard to VFTO’s peak value and frequency spectrum.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes an optimal placement model of ultra-high frequency (UHF) sensors for accurate location of partial discharge (PD) in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). The model is based on 0-1 program in consideration of the attenuation influence on the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves generated by PD in GIS. the optimal placement plan improves the economy, observability, and accuracy of PD locating. After synchronously acquiring the time of the initial EM waves reaching each UHF sensor, PD occurring time can be obtained. Then, initial locating results can be acquired by using the Euclidean distance measuring method and the extended time difference of arriving (TDOA) location method. With the information of all UHF sensors and the inherent topological structure of GIS, the locating accuracy can be further improved. The method is verified by experiment, showing that the method can avoid the influence of false information and obtain higher locating accuracy by revising initial locating results.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Since its establishment in 1807, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of Coast Survey has provided nautical charts to support safe shipping, national defence, and the delamination of maritime boundaries. The mission of the office is to provide navigation products and services that ensure safe and efficient maritime commerce on America’s oceans and coastal waters, and in the Great Lakes. The Office of Coast Survey employs cartographers, hydrographers, physical scientists, managers and administrative staff in order to fulfil its mission. Until recently, training in nautical cartography at the office of Coast Survey was conducted at the branch level and differed based on level of employee seniority (i.e., Entry, Intermediate and Advanced) and the processing branch of the employee. Over the past two years, NOAA has established a Coast Survey CAT B program that is intended to train and educate to up to 13 cartographers per year in nautical cartography, through a combination of lectures, hands-on chart production experience, details to various branches within the Coast Survey, and field trips to working hydrographic survey vessels through six training modules spread over a one-year period, spread over six courses that include:</p><ul><li><i>Refresher course</i> that provides a review of the basic math, computer and communication technology, marine geography, hydrography, and geodetic topics. The goal of this course is to ensure that students have a sufficient academic background to succeed in the subsequent CAT-B program courses and other activities.</li><li><i>Introduction to Cartography course</i> that reviews elements of cartography, specifically scale, design, and data manipulation techniques. Students will gain an appreciation for maps and map-making, including manual techniques. This introductory course will include hands-on use of computer graphics tools.</li><li><i>Map Design course</i> that reviews the various styles and techniques associated with cartographic design. The course will require the student to: 1) analyse chart design parameters, 2) compile thematic cartographic projects, and 3) experiment with map design.</li><li><i>GIS and Spatial Analysis course</i> that provides students with a comprehensive understanding of spatial analysis methods and they will learn practical skills in using GIS and spatial analysis. The class covers the methods of spatial analysis including measuring aspects of geometric features and identifying spatial patterns of geospatial objects that are represented as point, line, network, areal data, and 3-D surfaces.</li><li><i>GIS and Spatial Modelling course</i> that provides the students a foundation and understanding of various issues related to modelling and simulation in the GIS. It will address the concepts, tools, and techniques of GIS modelling (vector- and raster-based modelling). In addition, it will present modelling concepts and theory as well as provide opportunities for hands-on model design, construction, and application.</li><li><i>NOAA training project and internship program course</i> that includes: 1) a detailed review of many of the activities conducted by the branches in NOAA’s Marine Chart Division and 2) a training project that demonstrates the student’s ability to implement the knowledge gained during the certification.</li></ul><p>This paper presents a newly established CAT B certificate program in Standards of Competence for Nautical Cartographers that is conducted at NOAA’s main campus in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. The CAT B certificate program provides NOAA a mechanism to both enhance building capacity within the organization and recognizing NOAA cartographers for their capabilities and efforts. In addition, such a program at NOAA can also be used to recruit new employees and help to build capacity in sister organizations.</p>

Texas is botanically diverse with approximately 5500 native plants identified: east Texas contains about 40% of the total. While most species are stable, many are classified as rare, threatened, vulnerable, or endangered. Databases for east Texas plant communities and vegetative analyses are numerous. However, they are not yet integrated into easy-to-sort-and-query computer files. Computer-Assisted Drafting (CAD) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology offers powerful applications to the storage, management, and spatial analysis of species inventories, plant community dynamics, and long-term habitat monitoring. At SFASU, the College of Forestry's GIS Center is being utilized to develop comprehensive east Texas resource inventories on a ten-station HP Apollo/ArcInfo platform. In the horticulture program, a twenty-station PC/AutoCad teaching laboratory is being used to create layered maps of the SFASU Arboretum, the on-campus landscape and off-campus plant communities. The integration of CAD and GIS projects through a DXF format takes advantage of the attributes of both technologies.

Full textAbstract:
Modelling for very fast transients (VFTs) requires good knowledge of the behaviour of gas insulated substation (GIS) components when subjected to high frequencies. Modelling usually takes the form of circuit-based insulation coordination type studies, in an effort to determine the maximum overvoltages and waveshapes present around the system. At very high frequencies, standard transmission line modelling assumptions may not be valid. Therefore, the approach to modelling of these transients must be re-evaluated. In this work, the high frequency finite element analysis (FEA) was used to enhance circuit-based models, allowing direct computation of parameters from geometric and material characteristics. Equivalent models that replicate a finite element model’s frequency response for bus-spacer and 90° elbow components were incorporated in alternative transients program-electromagnetic transients program (ATP-EMTP) using a pole-residue equivalent circuit derived following rational fitting using the well-established and robust method of vector fitting (VF). A large model order is often required to represent this frequency dependent behaviour through admittance matrices, leading to increased computational burden. Moreover, while highly accurate models can be derived, the data extracted from finite element solutions can be non-passive, leading to instability when included in time domain simulations. A simple method of improved stability for FEA derived responses along with a method for identification of a minimum required model order for stability of transient simulations is proposed.

The main problems of forestry are considered in the article taking into account the current normative documents of Ukraine and developments of Ukrainian scientists. The period of forestry production is the longest of all known productions: 60-100 and more years. The total forest area of the forest fund of Ukraine is 10.4 million hectares, including the forest cover — 9.6 million hectares. The forested area of Ukraine is 15.9%. The stock of wood in forests is estimated at 2.1 billion m3. The total annual increase in the stock of timber reaches 35 million m3. Forests grow in different natural areas (Polissia, Forest-steppe, Steppe, Ukrainian Carpathians, and Mountain Crimea) and have differences in forest conditions. The forests are concentrated mainly in Polissia and the Carpathians. Afforestation in various natural zones varies from 3.7% in Zaporizhzhya to 51.4% in the Transcarpathian regions and does not reach a scientifically justified optimal level. Almost half of the forests have limited use, which does not contribute to the efficient use of forest resources.By means of which it is possible to solve the issues of collection, processing, control and document management in this field. Today, scientists and workers face a rather difficult task. In the short term, you need to create, implement in the industry, fill in archival data, learn how to use, maintain in working condition, implement updates in accordance with new laws and regulations, and update data. Today, several work programs have been developed that are in the process of being put into production. Comparative analysis of existing programs is presented in more detail and data on their implementation are given. UkrNILILA organized a joint Ukrainian-Czech project, TechInLis4, which implemented the use of a program-based system for collecting inventory of Field Map forests developed by the Institute of Forest Ecosystems Research (IFER, Czech Republic), which is based on a powerful database server, includes automated workplaces (ARMs) for specialists from all divisions and levels of the forestry industry and ozhlyvosti for the rapid exchange of data between entities. Such a system is the State Forests of Ukraine Information System (DIS). Also, the GIS — Lisproject software complex and 1C software product: Enterprise Forestry Management were considered. Given the unique combination of natural and socio-economic components in forestry, as well as a long period of forestry production, the overall objective of the program is to ensure a balanced development of forestry aimed at strengthening the environmental, social and economic functions of Ukrainian forests.

Full textAbstract:
The hydration potential of a landscape is an increasingly important attribute in a time of advancing climate change, making its assessment also a matter of some urgency. This study used the landscape ecological approach involving the hydrological balance, in which the soil water retention capacity (SWRC) and landscape water retention capacity (LWRC) are evaluated. To support our assessment of the water retention capacity in the landscape (LWRC), we used a synthetic interconnection of analytical vector layers of selected physical parameters of soil subtypes and secondary landscape structure (SLS) to create homogeneous polygons in the GIS Arc/Map10 computing environment. Selected abiotic and biotic attributes were assigned coefficients using a simple algorithm according to the authors, which were projected into landscape ecological complexes (LEC) in the GIS computer program in the Arc/Map10 program. We used hydrological balance calculations to specify the volumes of water retained in the landscape. The aim is to spatially estimate the retention capacity of the landscape, taking into account the current land use, including historical anti-erosion measures to reduce unwanted water runoff and soil erosion. Using zonal statistics, we achieved the following results. The part of the model area with very low or low LWCR represents 39.91% of the agricultural land used. We recorded a high LWCR on 17.69% of the area, with a predominance of meadows and cultizol cambis and cultizol fluvials. The calculation of the hydrological balance, which represents only 22.9% of atmospheric precipitation, also made a significant contribution to our knowledge of the LWRC.

The new campus of ITB-Indonesia, which is located at Jatinangor, requires good facilities and infrastructures to supporting all of campus activities. Those can not be separated from procurement and maintenance activities. Technology for procurement and maintenance of facilities and infrastructures –based computer (information system)– has been known as Building Information Modeling (BIM). Nowadays, that technology is more affordable with some of free software that easy to use and tailored to user needs. BIM has some disadvantages and it requires other technologies to complete it, namely Geographic Information System (GIS). BIM and GIS require surveying data to visualized landscape and buildings on Jatinangor ITB campus. This paper presents the on-going of an internal service program conducted by the researcher, academic staff and students for the university. The program including 3D surveying to support the data requirements for 3D modeling of buildings in CityGML and Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data model. The entire 3D surveying will produce point clouds that can be used to make 3D model. The 3D modeling is divided into low and high levels of detail modeling. The low levels model is stored in 3D CityGML database, and the high levels model including interiors is stored in BIM Server. 3D model can be used to visualized the building and site of Jatinangor ITB campus. For facility management of campus, an geo-information system is developed that can be used for planning, constructing, and maintaining Jatinangor ITB’s facilities and infrastructures. The system uses openMAINT, an open source solution for the Property & Facility Management.

The article discusses possibilities of geochronological tracking technology for studying the spatial mobility of social groups in Russia in the past. The GIS proposed is necessary to visualize and analyze spatial data in a prosopographic research of about 400 szlachta representatives in Peter’s Epoch. Spatial mobility is understood as the intensity of person's translocation through settlements and his ability to respond to external challenges by moving. The archival materials of the Senate inspection of the szlachta (1721-1723) served the basis for the study and the resource formation. Particular attention is paid to the design of software research tools – the PostgreSQL database and the web GIS based on the latter. It is the first time when geochronological tracking as a geoinformatics method was used to prosopographically study the Russian nobility. The methods of historical source spatial data representation and visualization are implemented in the form of a geodatabase that is publicly available. Two program modules (the GIS among them) grant a wide range of Internet users an access to historical sources text data as well as synchronically visualized data on the szlachta service under Peter the first. The authors conclude that it is promising to create a special web interface which provides users with flexible text and geodata filtering and analysis. The web project created can be used both for research in the field of social history, historical geography, genealogy and for educational purposes in such courses as “historical computer science” and “digital humanities”.

A Construction project involves project management and financial planning at various stages right from the concept stage to the execution stage. This involves a large number of people working on different aspects of the project adhering to their specific job roles in collaboration with the others. These members not only work on the different aspects but also work on different software’s and platforms in order to create a holistic working plan to ensure timely and flawless construction activities. But these software’s only provide specific information feeded to it. A single program which would provide information of all these software’s collectively on one platform would not only make it convenient for sharing data but also help in reducing the delay and eliminating errors. A 5D model can be created linking the schedule of the project and the cost involved in it to the drawings on a GIS platform. In this research a 5D model of a Residential cum Commercial project Located in Prabhadevi, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India has been generated. This model includes the data related to the Schedule and Cost of the project, which can help in making decisions related to monetary aspects, Men & Material preparedness, verification of bills & Billing Audits. A 5D model holds Spatial data such as Project Schedule, Itemized Element costs and Quantities along with the 3D model of the structure. The conclusion of the study states that a GIS Model can serve as a real time data base for all the parties involved in the project at every level of its progression.

ABSTRACT The Shoreline Cleanup and Assessment Technique (SCAT) process, from initial reconnaissance, to generation of Shoreline Treatment Recommendations (STRs) and signoff, is an integral part of oil spill response operations. It is and should remain flexible and scalable based on spill conditions. Several challenging spill responses have contributed to the continuing evolution of the SCAT program. This review examines best practices and unique applications for the SCAT process, coordination within the Incident Command System (ICS), field implementation and tools, and data management. While the basic SCAT process remains the same, the detailed steps can vary greatly from spill to spill. STRs and incident specific forms may be required, additional review procedures for documents and shorelines may occur, endpoints and signoff can become extremely complex, intermediate plans may be generated to manage complexity, and various regulatory consultations may be necessary. Within the ICS, the SCAT program is typically part of the Environmental Unit under the Planning Section, but requires close coordination with the Operations Section. The use of SCAT- Operations Liaisons (both as having Operations on SCAT teams during surveys and as having SCAT team members work with Operations during actual cleanup) is a best practice to improve coordination and treatment effectiveness throughout the response. Field forms, data collection tools, and SCAT staff roles are evolving. The trials of electronic data collection with field computers continue; use of imagery, GPS, and GIS are ever increasing and necessary; and the roles and coordination of various types of field monitors/observers during cleanup operations need to be carefully defined. SCAT team members need to be well-trained, and field calibration should occur regularly within and among teams. SCAT data management now requires dedicated staff and computer data management systems in all but the smallest of spills. The need for high quality data, rapid analysis, and generation of useful products to a varied audience is becoming the expected standard. However, with these expectations come new procedures and specialized skills. QA/QC of field data is critical to all evaluations and products. Specialized databases have become robust enough to handle the most complex SCAT data and output requirements, and GIS tools can quickly generate a variety of necessary map products for multiple users. These functions require skills not found with typical SCAT field team members. In this paper, we will examine some of the recent advances and unique applications to the SCAT process.

The research has four primary Objectives: 1. Map Bryce Canyon National Park to historic vegetation type by use of relocated historic photographs, inference from similar regions, and results of computer simulations using estimated fire return frequencies; 2. Map fuel loads and fuel model types throughout Bryce Canyon National Park; 3. Classify and map areas by fire groups using information on vegetation composition and response to fire; and 4. Develop a written and pictorial document to portray vegetation change in historical time. These objectives are integrated into an overall program to determine the role of fire in maintaining the previous historical vegetation composition, to determine the potential for use of fire as a tool to reconstruct historic vegetation, and to determine fuel management opportunities and problems resulting from current conditions. All map information is to be digitized as SAGIS GIS maps and entered into a landscape simulation model for use by Park Service personnel.

Alternatively, one can receive such data from the National Climatic Data Center in Ashville, NC. Still, significant obstacles remain in order to unlock the full potential of the data. One set of obstacles is related to effective management of multi-terabyte datasets. A second set of obstacles, for hydrologists and hydrometeorologists in particular, is that the NEXRAD Level III products are not well suited for applications in hydrology. There is a strong need for the generation of high-quality products directly from the Level II data with well-documented steps that include quality control, removal of false echoes, rainfall estimation algorithms, coordinate conversion, georeferencing and integration with GIS. For hydrologists it is imperative that these procedures are basin-centered as opposed to radar-centered. The authors describe the Hydro-NEXRAD system that addresses the above challenges. With support from the National Science Foundation through its ITR program, the authors have developed a basin-centered framework for addressing all these issues in a comprehensive manner, tailored specifically for use of NEXRAD data in hydrology and hydrometeorology.

Full textAbstract:
A comprehensive highway cost model can be used for optimizing highway alignments subject to a number of design constraints. Because a geographic information system (GIS) can spatially represent the locations of properties, floodplains, streams, and other geographical characteristics of significance in a highway cost model, it can provide valuable input to a highway design optimization model. Additionally, a GIS-based model can be developed to compute geographically sensitive costs to be used with an iterative optimization scheme. However, connecting a GIS to a highway optimization model requires full automation of an entire search process in which there is a continuous exchange of inputs and outputs until the optimized solution is obtained. An integrated model is developed by linking a GIS model with an optimization model employing genetic algorithms (GAs). The GIS model provides accurate geographical features, computes location-dependent costs, and transmits these costs to an external program. That program computes length-dependent costs and user costs and then, using GAs, optimizes the highway alignment to minimize the sum of all costs. An example study using real land use and environmental features is presented for a part of Talbot County, Maryland. The computational performance of the integrated model is assessed.

Full textAbstract:
A novel system composed of multiple von Neumann computers and an appropriate problem environment is proposed and simulated. Each computer has a memory to store the machine instruction program, and when a program is executed, a series of machine codes in the memory is sequentially decoded, leading to register operations in the central processing unit (CPU). By means of these operations, the computer not only can handle its generally used registers but also can read and write the environmental database. Simulation is driven by genetic algorithms (GAs) performed on the population of program memories. Mutation and crossover create program diversity in the memory, and selection facilitates the reproduction of appropriate programs. Through these evolutionary operations, advantageous combinations of machine codes are created and fixed in the population one by one, and the higher function, which enables the computer to calculate an appropriate number from the environment, finally emerges in the program memory. In the latter half of the article, the performance of GAs on this system is studied. Under different sets of parameters, the evolutionary speed, which is determined by the time until the domination of the final program, is examined and the conditions for faster evolution are clarified. At an intermediate mutation rate and at an intermediate population size, crossover helps create novel advantageous sets of machine codes and evidently accelerates optimization by GAs.

Full textAbstract:
This article reports the development of a geographical information system (GIS) embedded text-based geospatial Big Data research toolbox (BigGIS-RTX) designed especially for mobile CDR (Call Details Record) data processing in urban transport planning and disaster management. BigGIS-RTX is a standalone computer program that aims to provide a bridge between geospatial Big Data and end users (i.e. students and researchers) by reducing difficulties in handling geospatial Big Data processing and analysis tasks. This research toolbox makes it possible to handle text-based geospatial Big Data cleaning, formatting, subsetting, and extraction by keywords or structured query language (SQL), CDR data aggregation by base transceiver stations (BTSs), generation of origin–destination (OD) trips, OD matrices, and OD routes, and computation of OD links. Moreover, this research toolbox can be integrated with current commercial GIS software to perform further geospatial analysis functions to improve spatial decision making in urban and transport planning and disaster management. In this report, we discuss two current research outputs using BigGIS-RTX: first, multitemporal grid square population estimation and second, human mobility studies in transportation planning. These research outputs are essential for disaster management and emergency preparedness in terms of providing knowledge and information about population distribution changes over space and time, human mobility flow by a user defined time frame, and travel volume or link count information for individual road segments. This research is part of the core project “Development of a Comprehensive Disaster Resilience System and Collaboration Platform in Myanmar” in a research collaboration between Yangon Technological University, Myanmar, and The University of Tokyo, Japan, sponsored by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

The aim of this article is to present the use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) as a support tool for cartographical mapping related to the Orienteering Sport, as a contribution for the enhancement of the currently used techniques, which result will be spread between the members of the Quadro de Mapeadores da CBO (Brazilian Federation of Orienteering), which gathers the main cartographers of the sport in Brazil and regulates the main aspects related to the production of maps for Orienteering. Therefore, the Campus of UFMS (Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul) was mapped, according to the ISSOM 2007 (International Specification for Sprint Orienteering Maps), on the scale of 1:4.000 using orthophotographs with ground sample distance of 10 cm and vectorial files (contour lines with equidistance of 1 metre and urban zoning) of Campo Grande city distributed freely by Prefeitura Municipal de Campo Grande as data source for the base map. The data was processed using the software QGIS (QGIS Development Team 2016), a free and open source Geographical Information System (GIS), and the Original Computer File was developed using OCAD software, an specific program for Orienteering maps, being validated by its utilisation on the final stage of the II Campeonato Sul-Mato-Grossense de Orientação (2nd Orienteering Championship of Mato Grosso do Sul). To ratify, in official ways, the obedience to the international specifications, it was sent to the evaluation of the Quadro de Mapeadores da CBO (the official cartographers group of CBO) and, as a result, it was approved and included in the data base of the confederation, under the register number 232.

Full textAbstract:
The independence of Kyrgyzstan brings with it the need to rethink the organization of the whole forestry sector. Information is now required which cannot be gathered from current records, due to the unorthodox methods used to gather data in the past. As part of the Kyrgyz-Swiss Forestry Support Program, the Chair for Forest Biometrics and Computer Sciences of Dresden University of Technology and the Swiss Federal Institute (WSL) are therefore developing tailor-made methods of compiling sample-based forest inventories on a national and forest enterprise level. Concentric circles are used as the sample unit; on a national level, these are combined to produce clusters of three trial plots. They are distributed using a systematic dot grid with varying density according to the level of assessment (national or forest enterprise) and forest type. The parameters in the catalogue, definitions and measurement rules are harmonized. An operational forest definition allows the results to be compared with international studies. The production of maps and the implementation of a GIS are essential for both inventories. Current conditions in the country make the development of these methods difficult;despite this, the work should be completed by the end of the year 2000.

The satellite-based Global Positioning System (GPS) needs a clear view of sky for determining a geodetic position and hence it is particularly suitable in overall projects of open-pit recovery and landscape restoration. The purpose of such measurements is to make highly accurate topographic maps thus forming the backbone of a project. In the work presented here geodetic measurements are combined with advanced visualisation techniques and GIS applications in a possible recovery plan of the abandoned excavations of Bonucoro in the mining district of Orani, central Sardinia, Italy. Considering the naturalistic and geographic settings of the mining area and its surroundings, a few proposals concerning the re-utilisation of these excavations are presented. The preparatory work consisted of the area characterisation by carrying out a topographic survey followed by a geodetic control network establishment by the GPS to describe the morphological features of the landscape and for the subsequent three-dimensional analysis and geoprocessing. The final step involved the use of VueInfinite, a computer program capable to integrate graphical data with geological and morphological attributes. It was also able to create a virtual 3D scene of a present, past, or future landscape required for visual impact assessment.

A computer program which is able to simulate adsorption on fractal surfaces was developed. The fractal surfaces are generated as Takagi surfaces. The computer program is based on a DLA-algorithm. Adsorption was simulated in different conditions: 1. equivalent active sites (homogeneous surfaces); 2. active sites with different adsorption probabilities; the probability associated with every active site is computed using a van der Waals potential. Our simulation allows us to explore the actual structure of the gas-solid interface and to study the sensitivity to energetic disorder. The fractal dimension of gas-solid interface vs. adsorption coverage curves are computed.

This paper presents a calculation technique and related computer program to yield mass emission rates from measured exhaust gas composition and fuel flow rate or fuel plus air flow rate (if air flow rate is measured). The sensitivity of the computed emission rates to (1) the method of calculation and (2) experimental measurement errors is investigated. It is recommended that published emission rates be the average of the rates computed by several different methods, as discussed in this paper, to minimize the effect of experimental variations in measurement. This, plus use of the computer program presented, would standardize the assumptions used in computing emissions and minimize differences in reported emission rates from different laboratories.

Introduction. Ascariasis is one of the most common parasitic diseases that infect about 1.5 million people in the world every year. In Russia, from 40 to 60 thousand cases are registered annually. To make effective management decisions on sanitary-epidemiological and preventive measures, the search for environmental factors that potentially affect the epidemic process of ascariasis in the Vladimir region was carried out. Materials and methods. The study analyzed archived statistical data on the incidence of ascariasis in the population, the state of the environment (air, water, and soil pollution), the socio-economic situation (unemployment rate, average salary, number of doctors and nurses, housing provision), as well as climate indices (average monthly temperature, number of days in a month with precipitation, humidity and snow cover) in the region. Statistical data processing and correlation and regression analysis were performed using the Statistica software. The maps were built and edited using the ArcView 3.1 GIS program and the standard Paint computer program. Results. The incidence of ascariasis in the region is characterized by significant diversity. Statistically reliable correlations of morbidity with environmental indices were obtained, and a mathematical equation was constructed using linear regression to predict the level of morbidity in the region. Conclusion. In the epidemiology of ascariasis in the Vladimir region, a leading role retains climatic, environmental indices determining the possibility of developing eggs of ascarids in the environment to the infective stage. A regional factor that affects the epidemiological process (indirectly through the suppression of the protective functions of the child’s body and reducing the development time of Ascaris eggs) is air pollution by stationary objects. The data obtained can assess the risk of infection with ascariasis to ensure biological safety in the region.

Abstract In general, one cannot use algebraic or enumerative methods to optimize a quality-control (QC) procedure for detecting the total allowable analytical error with a stated probability with the minimum probability for false rejection. Genetic algorithms (GAs) offer an alternative, as they do not require knowledge of the objective function to be optimized and can search through large parameter spaces quickly. To explore the application of GAs in statistical QC, I developed two interactive computer programs based on the deterministic crowding genetic algorithm. Given an analytical process, the program "Optimize" optimizes a user-defined QC procedure, whereas the program "Design" designs a novel optimized QC procedure. The programs search through the parameter space and find the optimal or near-optimal solution. The possible solutions of the optimization problem are evaluated with computer simulation.

<p>This paper describes developments in virtual archaeology that started in a research project about the possible astronomical entrance orientation of Neolithic circular ditch systems (German Kreisgrabenanlagen, KGA) of Lower Austria. Starting from data analysis in a Geographical Information System (GIS), we will cover a simple way of modelling, and discuss three ways of visualisation for the combination of landscape and human-made buildings together with celestial objects. The first way involves extensions to the modelling program SketchUp to bring in just enough astronomical data for scientific evaluation. The second introduces a set of extensions to the open-source desktop planetarium program Stellarium, which can meanwhile be used to load a standard 3D model format to allow detailed research in astronomical orientation patterns, and light-and-shadow interaction over many millennia, even for researchers less familiar with astronomical programming. The third presents a “serious gaming” approach, which can provide the most natural view of the landscape, but requires at least some, if not deep, familiarity with astronomical and 3D computer graphics programming and, therefore, due to this considerably larger effort, appears to be mostly useful for outreach of high-profile results to the public. The entrances to the KGA of Lower Austria turned out to be mostly oriented following a purely terrestrial pattern of up- and downward sloping terrain, but with one noteworthy exception.</p><p><strong>Highlights:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Virtual archaeology can help to better understand archaeological remains embedded in the landscape.

Full textAbstract:
With the introduction of mechanization in agriculture, the area of terraced slopes has increased. However, in most cases, the planning of terracing in practice remains experience-based, which is no longer effective from an agricultural, geological, and hydrological point of view. The usual method of building terraces, especially terraces with earth risers, is therefore outdated, and a new method must be found for planning and building terraced areas. In addition to geographical information system (GIS) tools, parametric design tools for planning terraced landscapes are now available. Based on the design approaches for a selected plot in the Gorizia Hills in Slovenia, where we used a trial-and-error method, we improved previous results by defining a model using a computer algorithm that generates a terraced landscape on a selected slope depending on various input parameters such as the height of the terrace slope, the inclination of the terrace slope, the width of the terrace platform, and the number of terraces. For the definition of the algorithm we used the visual program tool Grasshopper. By changing the values of the input data parameters, the algorithm was able to present combinatorial simulations through a variety of different solutions with all the corresponding statistics. With such results it is much easier to make a conscious decision on which combination of parameters is optimal to prevent landslides, plan adequate drainage, and control soil movements when building terraces. The controlled slope intervention is further optimized by the introduction of a usage index (Tx), defined as the quotient of the sum of all flat areas (terrace platforms) and the total area of the plot.

Статья посвящена решению задач разработки геоинформационной системы (ГИС), позволяющей использовать данные GPS на карманных персональных компьютерах (КПК) сотрудников для формирования отчета посещений ими торговых точек, заданных по плану, и просмотра отклонений от маршрута. В структуре АО «Управляющая компания «ЭФКО» для работы в отделе продаж и логистики используется система KPI (на базе 1С), позволяющая организовать деятельность ее торговых сотрудников путем сбора и анализа различных показателей. В частности, организована работа супервайзеров, мерчендайзеров, а также территориальных и региональных менеджеров. Для того чтобы территориальные менеджеры и супервайзеры могли работать не только за компьютером, но и непосредственно во время посещения самих торговых точек, делать заказ для контрагента не на бумаге, а сразу внося в программу, необходимо реализовать связь между 1С KPI и мобильным приложением ST-Mobile, разработанным специально для этих целей. Сотрудники должны иметь возможность записывать текущие данные в систему по посещаемым торговым точкам, заполнять документы по предзаказам торговых точек для дальнейшей поставки, проверять наполнение полок продукцией компании. Целью разработки ГИС является организация оперативного обмена данными между учетной системой и КПК сотрудников. Данные GPS с КПК сотрудника сравниваются с данными GPS, установленными в справочнике «Торговые точки», для создания отчета «Фактический маршрут агента», из которого будет понятно, посещал сотрудник торговую точку из своего маршрута или нет и насколько большим было отклонение от маршрута. Приводится краткое описание корректировки программного обеспечения в режиме «Конфигуратор 1С», разработанных процедур и функций на java-script. Предложенные решения позволяют выбирать на карте торговую точку, а также формировать задание на маршрут сотрудника по торговым точкам, прорисовывать на карте (по данным GPS) фактический маршрут сотрудника и указатели посещаемости торговых точек. Разработанная ГИС внедрена на АО «Управляющая компания «ЭФКО» в отделе продаж и логистики The article is devoted to solving the problems of developing a geographic information system (GIS), which allows the use of GPS data on pocket personal computers (PPC) of employees to generate a report of their visits to outlets specified according to the plan, and to view deviations from the route. In the structure of EFKO Management Company, the KPI system (based on 1C) is used for work in the sales and logistics department, which allows organizing the activities of its sales staff by collecting and analyzing various indicators. In particular, the work of supervisors, merchandisers, as well as territorial and regional managers was organized. In order to provide the work of territorial managers and supervisors not only at the computer but also directly during visiting the outlets, to place an order for the counterparty not on paper but immediately enter into the program, it is necessary to implement a connection between 1C KPI and the ST-Mobile application, developed specifically for this purpose. Employees should be able to record current data into the system on visited outlets, fill out documents for pre-orders of outlets for further delivery, check the filling of the shelves with the company's products. The purpose of the GIS development is to organize the operational data exchange between the accounting system and the employees' PPC. The GPS data from the employee's PPC is compared with the GPS data set in the “Outlets” directory to create the “Agent's actual route” report, from which it will be clear whether the employee visited the outlet from his route or not, and how large the deviation from the route was. The paper provides a brief description of the software correction in the 1C Configurator mode, the developed procedures and functions in java-script. The proposed solutions allow one to select a point of sale on the map, as well as form a task for an employee's route to points of sale, to draw on the map (according to GPS data) the actual route of the employee and indicators of attendance at retail outlets. The developed GIS was implemented at EFKO Management Company in the sales and logistics department

Full textAbstract:
A computer simulation of the motion of ions in a three-dimensional (3-D) quadrupole ion trap has been performed with a Gateway 386 PC/AT computer. The SIMION program was used as the main program to calculate the potential array of the ion trap space. Several user-written programs were interfaced to the SIMION program to simulate the effects of changing various operating conditions, such as the radio-frequency (rf) potential, the collisional buffer gas, external ion injection, dc ejection from the trap, and resonance ejection. With the use of this simulation, the total storage mass range could be obtained as a function of rf voltage and frequency. The simulations show, as expected, that the collisional buffer gas plays an important role in both stabilizing the trajectory of high-kinetic-energy ions (hot ions) inside the ion trap and trapping ions injected from an external source. Several different buffer gases were studied for their effects upon the trapping motion. In addition, both the total mass ejection that results from applying a dc pulse on the output end-cap electrode and the ion ejection that results from applying an rf frequency to the end cap to produce resonance ejection were also studied with this simulation program. It is demonstrated that a simple PC computer using a modified SIMION program provides results very similar to those expected from theory or from previous work.

The design of cooling systems for gas turbine engine blades and vanes calls for efficient simulation programs. The main purpose of the described program is to determine the complete boundary condition at the coolant side to support a temperature calculation for the solid. For the simulation of convection and heat pick up of the coolant flow, pressure loss, and further effects to be found in a rotating frame, the cooling systems are represented by networks of nodes and flow elements. Within each flow element the fluid flow is modeled by a system of ordinary differential equations based on the one-dimensional conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. In this respect, the computer program differs from many other network computation programs. Concerning cooling configurations in rotating systems, the solution for a single flow element or the entire flow system is not guaranteed to be unique. This is due to rotational forces in combination with heat transfer and causes considerable computational difficulties, which can be overcome by a special path following method in which the angular velocity is selected as the parameter of homotopy. Results of the program are compared with measurements for three applications.

This paper describes a microcomputer-based, interactive, and menu-driven software package designed to help mechanical engineering students to understand gas turbines and to allow them to conduct more analysis of gas turbine cycles than they would normally be able to do by hand-calculation. The program deals with gas turbine cycle analysis so the acronym GTCA is used. GTCA is written in the Pascal computer language and runs on IBM PC, or compatible, computers. Improvements to the basic Brayton cycle, including three compressor and turbine stages, reheater, heat exchanger, intercooler, and precooler are incorporated into the program. The package is highly flexible and allows the user to model cycle schemes formed of any combination of these elements and to handle both shaft power turbines and aircraft turbojet and turbofan turbines. An important feature of the program is its ability to solve for any unknown variables. In addition to this, the program provides a schematic of the turbine plant layout and a temperature-entropy diagram of the cycle, and permits the plotting of the variation of any quantity versus any other quantity. This option enables the student to easily study and understand the effects of changing design variables on the overall performance of the cycle and permits its optimization. The statistical survey conducted along with the examples presented demonstrate the capabilities of the package as a teaching tool.

The programs in the structural analysis area of the HOST program emphasized the generation of computer codes for performing three-dimensional inelastic analysis with more accuracy and less manpower. This paper presents the application of that technology to Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine (AGTE) components: combustors, turbine blades, and vanes. Previous limitations will be reviewed and the breakthrough technology highlighted. The synergism and spillover of the program will be demonstrated by reviewing applications to thermal barrier coatings analysis and the SSME HPFTP turbine blade. These applications show that this technology has increased the ability of the AGTE designer to be more innovative, productive, and accurate.

ABSTRACT The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Sanctuaries Hazardous Incident Emergency Logistics Database System (SHIELDS) is an Internet-based information system designed to improve access to critical data, plans, and tools for National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) personnel and their partners for contingency planning and response situations. At the core of the SHIELDS project is a website developed for each of the thirteen National Marine Sanctuaries and one coral reef ecosystem reserve in the sanctuary designation process. Each site hosts general planning and response information, such as policies and contingency plans. More so, SHIELDS takes advantage of leading information technology to improve the availability of vital response information and folds it into one comprehensive website. The use of Geographic Information System (GIS) data has expanded from static hardcopy maps to web-based interactive mapping, allowing Internet users to easily examine Sanctuary-specific geographic data from any location. SHIELDS offers NOAA modeling tools to analyze the fate of pollutants and live buoy data for real-time oceanographic conditions. Web-based databases within SHIELDS allow the user to enter or query information on personnel contact and location, potential Sanctuary threats, geographic response plans (GRPs) and Resources and UnderSea Threats (RUST) data, post updated incident text and documentation, or look up response glossary terms. Although SHIELDS relies extensively on the use of the Internet to distribute its information, it has also been designed to work as a stand-alone product for those inevitable circumstances when Internet access is not available during a response. The user can load the SHIELDS webpages and data onto their personal computer and carry it to any remote location to access the same data found on the Internet. SHIELDS provides the most comprehensive incident planning and response information for the National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP). This ensures that NOAA fulfills its role as stewards of Sanctuary resources and provides effective and timely response information about their trust resources.

Full textAbstract:
The gas film stiffness and damping properties for a spiral grooved mechanical face seal in a flexibly mounted stator configuration are computed using the step jump method and a novel direct numerical frequency response method. The seal model has three degrees of freedom, including axial displacement of the stator and two stator tilts about mutually perpendicular diametral axes. Results from both methods agree well with previously published results computed using the perturbation method, but the two new methods have the advantage of employing computer programs used in the direct numerical simulation of motion. Based on the linearized analysis, the two angular modes are proven to be coupled together and decoupled from the axial mode. Anomalies in the gas film properties tend to occur at large compressibility numbers. The step jump method requires less computing time than the direct frequency response method but at a sacrifice in accuracy at high excitation frequencies.

The construction project consists of several components, one of them is a reinforced concrete. Reinforced concrete construction contributes to 30% of the total budget or 80% of the total civil work. Meanwhile, judging from the proportion provided by the use of steel reinforcement reaches 45% of the contribution of the use of reinforced concrete. The use of steel reinforcement that is not planned well lead to cost overruns and the resulting increase in waste production. The waste is unlikely to be used again because the length does not qualify the existing needs. In terms of environmentally wasteful use of steel reinforcement is not aligned with the slogan green construction. According to the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in 2012 the production of steel reinforcement produces CO2 gas 430 kg CO2 eq /ton. On the other hand, local contractors in Surakarta never planning the use of steel reinforcement. Contractors plans and cuts of reinforcement. It increase potential construction waste due to inaccurate planning. Therefore in this study are create a computer program to design a model of bending reinforcing steel. Finally, steel reinforcement planning are better obtained. This program is applied to create a Visual Programming software, ACAD, Crystal Report, and Microsoft Database. Visual Programming is used as a place store of scripts and programs to connect database and Crystal Report. Microsoft database used to store data and Crystal Report are employed to display the results of the program. Furthermore, scheduling program of bar bender can be created. the time of production of reinforcement detailed is faster. By inputing a cross-section measurements and information reinforcement used various bending of reinforcement pieces are produced automatically. Crystal Report output can be made a flexible and attractive form to look at as well as the ability to transfer to other programs such as MS Word, Excel and PDF. Output can display different forms of reinforcement pieces with illustrated picture and the required amount of steel reinforcement in accordance with the dimensions and types.
