Spatial Allocation, Imputation, and Sampling Methods for Timber Product Output Data
… repeated measures models were developed to spatially allocate mill receipts to surrounding counties in the event of obtaining only a mill's total receipt volume. A Gompertz model with a power spatial covariance was found to be the best performing when using road distances from the mills to …

The Analysis of Community Health Centers in terms of Spatial Configuration, Spatial Allocation, and Organizational Constructs
… Community Health Centers (CHCs) in terms of spatial configuration, spatial allocation, and their relationships with different organizational constructs. The focus of spatial configuration analysis is visibility and accessibility; the focus of spatial allocation analysis is the amount of space …

Spatial Allocation of Forages and Its Impact on Grazing Behavior, Diet Selection and Dry Matter Intake of Beef Steers
Previous research on grazing behavior has shown that ruminants will select a mixed diet. The use of adjacent monocultures is an essential tool for determining dietary preference of forages. Much of the work to date has been conducted with white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and perennial ryegrass …

Integrated urban transportation and land use modeling by application of system dynamics
The spatial allocation of land uses and vehicle route selection within an urban network are both dependent upon travel times between zones in an urban region. These location and accessibility components form the basis of a time dependent feedback structure linking land use and transportation …

The creation and comparison of three contrasting programs for computer aided architectural design.
… through a command language, to define a spatial allocation problem using association matrices and other devices and to generate and probe the solution space of the problem. The program was conceived and developed as a design tool rejecting the previous algorithmic approach of other …

Working memory, selective visual attention and hierarchical perception
… that stimuli held in working memory can guide spatial allocation of attention, even when the stimuli are irrelevant to a subsequent search task. Responses are speeded when the content in working memory matches a target, and are slowed when the content matches a distractor (Downing, 2000; Soto, …

Data-driven task allocation for multi-robot deliveries
In this thesis, we present a distributed task allocation system for a team of robots serving queues of tasks in an environment. We consider how historical information about such a system's performance could be used to improve future allocations. Our model is representative of a multi-robot mail …

How many people can China feed? : assessing the impact of land and water constraints
… decisions. The optimization model specifies the spatial allocation of cropland and water, subject to various physical constraints. As more land is used for crops, more water is consumed by agriculture. The model's water constraints are based on steady- state, annual water balances for major river …

Embedded Cities, Excluded Citizens: Governance, Housing, and Rroma Marginality in Post-Socialist Romania
… criteria, bureaucratic discretion, spatial allocation, and NGO substitution—to show how local capacity and political incentives steer administrations toward closure or outward-facing arrangements that outsource responsibility. The analysis identifies a survivalist habitus through …

Learning-based crop management optimization using multi-stream convolutional neural networks
… of learning-based optimization algorithms for spatial allocation of crop inputs, and a new framework for online coverage path planning with potential use in tasks such as planting and harvesting. The proposed algorithms use Multi-stream Convolutional Neural Networks (MSCNN) to learn relevant …

Essays in Environmental and Development Economics
… to study how democratization affected the spatial allocation of public investment in healthcare infrastructure. On one hand, democratization limits distortions from Suharto-era biases toward certain areas, such as those within the patronage network. On the other hand, spillover effects are …

Digitised Dockyard: A Digital Twin for Multi-Objective Optimisation
… different problem types—graph theory based and spatial allocation—can be integrated into a unified architecture, highlighting the versatility of the proposed system.<br/><br/>The research adopts an interdisciplinary methodology that combines principles from computational intelligence, operations …

Land use change through market dynamics : a Microsimulation of land development, the bidding process, and location choices of households and firms
… exist, but a market-based model with sufficient spatial resolution and defensible behavioral foundations remains elusive. This dissertation addresses this goal by developing and applying such a model. Real estate markets involve numerous interactive agents and real estate with a great level of …

Space and Value in the Primate Amygdala and Basal Forebrain
… have long appreciated that the amygdala mediates spatially non-specific emotional responses, but it remains unclear whether the amygdala links motivational and spatial representations in a way that may be important for the emotional-guidance of attention. To test whether amygdala neurons encode …

A Study of Curricular and Spatial Characteristics of Selected Public and Private Secondary School Facilities Constructed from 1967 Through 1976 in Puerto Rico
… The purpose of this study was to evaluate the spatial allocation for curricular purposes and the special features of each of the twenty-seven public and private secondary schools built in Puerto Rico during the years 1967-1976. The problem was: Were these schools being constructed in accordance …

Guiding green stormwater infrastructure planning through socio-ecological vulnerability: An integrated and spatially scalable prioritization framework
… Current approaches used for the spatial planning of GSI are often limited to a specific spatial scale (e.g., household, neighborhood) and are only intended for the evaluation of a specific objective (e.g., heat mitigation, flooding) by a particular stakeholder (e.g., homeowners, …
