Mechanical and Spatial Aptitude

Learning Express, 2001

The ability to understand and use mechanical devices is critical for a job in many fields.Whether you decide to enter the military, apply for a government job, or take a job in private industry, you’ll have to take an entrance test that determines your skills and abilities. The military requires that all candidates take the ASVAB (Armed...

Engineering Mechanics for Structures

Dover Publications, 2009

This is a book about the Mechanics of Solids, Statics, the Strength of Materials, and Elasticity Theory. But that doesn’t mean a thing unless you have had a course in the Mechanics of Solids, Statics, the Strength of Materials, or Elasticity Theory. I assume you have not; let us try again:

This is a book that builds upon what...

Visual Data Mining: The VisMiner Approach

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

A visual approach to data mining.

Data mining has been defined as the search for useful and previously unknown patterns in large datasets, yet when faced with the task of mining a large dataset, it is not always obvious where to start and how to proceed.

This book introduces a visual methodology for data...

GIS For Dummies (Computer/Tech)

For Dummies, 2009

GIS (geographic information system) is a totally cool technology that has been called “geography on steroids.” GIS is what lets you see the schools in your neighborhood or tells you where the nearest McDonald’s is. GIS For Dummies tells you all about mapping terminology and digital mapping, how to locate geographic...

Beginning MapServer: Open Source GIS Development (Expert's Voice in Open Source)

Apress, 2005

Maps have played a prominent role in human activity for thousands of years. One of the earliest known maps was uncovered during the course of an archaeological excavation in Turkey in 1961. The Çatalhöyük site is a neolithic settlement dating from approximately 6500 BC. The map consists of a partially preserved, painted plaster...

Nearest Neighbor Search:: A Database Perspective (Series in Computer Science)

Springer, 2004

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This monograph explores the way spatial database management systems aim at supporting queries that involve the space characteristics of the underlying data, and discusses query processing techniques for nearest neighbor queries. It provides both basic concepts and state-of-the-art results in...

Assessing the Accuracy of Remotely Sensed Data: Principles and Practices, Second Edition (Mapping Science)

CRC Press, 2008

The field of assessing the accuracy of maps derived from remotely sensed data has continued to develop and mature since the first edition of this book was published in 1999. The original eight chapters have been expanded to eleven. Of most significance is a new chapter that covers positional accuracy. The accuracy of any spatial data set is a...

NHibernate 3.0 Cookbook

Packt Publishing, 2010

NHibernate is an innovative, flexible, scalable, and feature-complete open source project for data access. Although it sounds like an easy task to build and maintain database applications, it can be challenging to get beyond the basics and develop applications that meet your needs perfectly.

Emerging Spatial Information Systems and Applications

IGI Global, 2006

Spatial information systems were created manually for many years. For example, historically, the source of cholera in London in 1854 was found by John Snow, by mapping where victims of the disease lived. The graph clearly showed them to be close to the Broad Street Pump,1 one of the city’s water wells. Another example is Zipf’s Law,2...

Geocomputation and Urban Planning (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2009

Sixteen years ago, Franklin estimated that about 80% of data contain geo-referenced information. To date, the availability of geographic data and information is growing, together with the capacity of users to operate with IT tools and instruments. Spatial data infrastructures are growing and allow a wide number of users to rely on them. This growth...
