  2. 6. An Analysis of Consequences of Land Evaluation and Path Optimization

    Author : Rachel Mundeli Murekatete; Takeshi Shirabe; Gerhard Navratil; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Least-cost paths; Most-suitable paths; Raster cost surfaces; Raster suitability surfaces; Shortest path problem; Minimax path problem; Scales of measurement; Minsta-kostnad rutter; Mest-lämpliga rutter; Raster kostnadsytor; Raster lämplighets ytor; kortaste vägen problem; Minimax väg problem; Mätskalor; Geodesy and Geoinformatics; Geodesi och geoinformatik;

    Abstract : Planners who are involved in locational decision making often use raster-based geographic information systems (GIS) to quantify the value of land in terms of suitability or cost for a certain use. From a computational point of view, this process can be seen as a transformation of one or more sets of values associated with a grid of cells into another set of such values through a function reflecting one or more criteria.

  4. 7. Angle Resolved Light Scattering in Turbid Media : Analysis and Applications

    Author : Magnus Neuman; Per Edström; Torbjörn Löfqvist; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : Light scattering in turbid media is essential for such diverse application areas as paper and print, computer rendering, optical tomography, astrophysics and remote sensing. This thesis investigates angular variations of light reflected from plane-parallel turbid media using both mathematical models and reflectance measurements, and deals with several applications.

  5. 8. OnPLS : Orthogonal projections to latent structures in multiblock and path model data analysis

    Author : Tommy Löfstedt; Johan Trygg; Michael Peolsson; Michel Tenenhaus; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; OnPLS; OPLS; O2PLS; PLS; Multivariate analysis; Multiblock and path modelling; Chemometrics;

    Abstract : The amounts of data collected from each sample of e.g. chemical or biological materials have increased by orders of magnitude since the beginning of the 20th century. Furthermore, the number of ways to collect data from observations is also increasing. READ MORE

  6. 9. Schooling, work experience and earnings : a study of determinants of earnings in a Third World corporate setting

    Author : Roland Duberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Comparative education; Causal analysis; Determinants of earnings; Developing nations; Earnings functions; LAMCO; Liberia; Macroeconomic theories; Path analysis; Salary wage differentials;

    Abstract : The aim of the study is: (1) to investigate determinants of earnings in a Third World corporate setting; (2) to estimate the relative importance of these determinants; (3) to compare the determinants between different sectors; and (4) to provide some evidence concerning the validity of a number of economic theories. A Third World country (Liberia) and a corporate setting (LAMCO) are described.
