  • Towards a knowledge model bridging technologies and applications in cultural heritage documentation

    • Authors: Boochsa, F.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • This paper documents the formulation of an international, interdisciplinary study, on a concerted European level, to prepare an innovative, reliable, independent and global knowledge base facilitating the use of today’s and future optical measuring techniques for the documentation of cultural heritage. Cultural heritage professionals, color engineers and scientists share similar goals for the documentation, curation, long-term preservation and representation of cultural heritage artifacts. Their focus is on accuracy in the digital capture and remediation of artefacts through a range of temporal, spatial and technical constraints. A shared vocabulary to interrogate these shared concerns will transform mutual understanding and facilitate an agreed movement forward in cultural heritage...

  • Towards productive landscapes

    • Authors: Zagt, Roderick J.; Chavez-Tafur, Jorge;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • The landscape approach has increasingly been promoted as a new perspective on addressing global challenges at a local level. In the face of increasing and competing claims to the land and the exhaustion of natural resources, planners, scientists and policymakers have come to realize the limitations of sectoral approaches. Integrated landscape level considerations have begun to supersede those restricted to, for instance, water, forests, farming and development programmes.This issue of ETFRN News 56, ‘Towards productive landscapes’, brings together 29 papers by practitioners from all over the world who highlight the successes and challenges of applying landscape approaches.

  • Toward an autimatic solution for updating building databases using space - borne stereo imaging

    • Authors: Dini, G.R.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • Thesis has a short review of literature is reported followed by a discussion and conclusion concerning the pros and cons of the previously developed algorithms; the theoretical fundaments for image orientation, the geometry of pushbroom space image, image matching, and different approaches for building change detection are discussed; illustrates the main contribution of this research by proposing a new framework for updating building databases based on the integration of height and image information; contains the experimental results of proposed methodology tested on IKONOS and GeoEye- 1 stereo pairs.

  • FOSS4G Nottingham 2013 : Proceedings : Special issue of OSGEO journal 13(2014)

    • Authors: Köbben , Barend;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • This issue of the OSGeo Journal, comprising twelve research papers selected from the submissions to the Academic Track of FOSS4G 2013, the global conference for Open Source Geospatial Software, which took place in Nottingham (UK), from 17 to 21 September 2013. The core audience has always been the people who make up the open source communities: The people that develop, create and craft the open source geo-spatial software. The actual applications are the glue which binds the community together; the aim of the FOSS4G community is to enable and enfranchise anyone to harness the power of geo-spatial software, regardless of their economic status. To acknowledge this, and to not create an isolated, exclusive, part of the conference, we scheduled presentations of the papers clustered with...

  • Prediction of co-seismic soil slope instability with finite element models

    • Authors: Kroonenberg, S.B.; Sigarán-Loría, C.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • Thesis offers a general overview of the existing knowledge on landslides triggered during earthquakes and a comprehensive description of the available methods to assess the stability of slopes during earthquakes; explains the formulation of the FE models including (a) the soil types assessed, their geotechnical formulation and constitutive models, (b) the geometries, discretization and boundaries used in the FE models, and (c) the seismic loads and ground motion parameters used and damping formulation; assesses statistically the outputs derived through FE modeling; compares the outputs of FE modeling to results of two different recognized simplified displacement‐based methods.

  • Poverty and vulnerability assessment :A survey instrument for the Hindu Kush Himalayas

    • Authors: Banerjee, S.; Gerlitz, J.V.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • This publication describes the development and application of ICIMOD’s Poverty and Vulnerability Assessment, a household survey tool designed to capture key elements of poverty, vulnerability, and adaptive capacity in mountain contexts for the Hindu Kush Himalayan region. The tool combines general predictors of poverty with indicators that are particularly relevant in mountain contexts, where factors such as physical accessibility and a lack of access to basic facilities often exacerbate poverty and vulnerability to stresses such as those related to climate variability and change.
