Node and Place, a study on the spatial process of railway terminus area redevelopment in central London
… that the ‘node-place’ problem is fundamentally a spatial one. Using the methodology of space syntax, together with Hillier's compound theories of how vibrant urban places are progressively formed by the influence of the urban grid on natural movement (Hillier et al 1993 ), and the subsequent …

Spatially Correlated Model Selection (SCOMS)
… dissertation, a variable selection method for spatial data is developed. It is assumed that the spatial process is non-stationary as a whole but is piece-wise stationary. The pieces where the spatial process is stationary are called regions. The variable selection approach accounts for two …

Dynamic Bayesian models for modelling environmental space-time fields
This thesis addresses spatial interpolation and temporal prediction using air pollution data by several space-time modelling approaches. Firstly, we implement the dynamic linear modelling (DLM) approach in spatial interpolation and find various potential problems with that approach. We develop …

A Quantitative and Spatial Model of Escalation
… focuses on why escalation may occur, the process by which it occurs is largely unexplored. Finally, the literature largely fails to explore the potential relationship between misperception in international politics and escalation. This paper remedies these omissions in the literature by …

Investigating the Impact of Climate and Extreme Weather on Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Irish Soils: An Evaluation of the ECOSSE Model
… assessment. Among modelling approaches, process-based modelling allows for the highest specificity of input data. Process-based models split soil carbon into pools with different decay rates influenced by environmental (biotic and abiotic) factors and management. The Estimation of Carbon …

A forma do privilégio: renda, acessibilidade e densidade em Natal-RN
… as syntactic data were utilized for mapping and spatial analysis of income patterns, topological accessibility and demographical density using Geographical Information System GIS. The organizing principle was named as the Form of Privilege, a pattern that concentrates or tends to concentrate …

UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION IN DOWNSCALING OF PRECIPITATION EXTREMES AND ITS APPLICATION TO NEW ENGLAND
… analysis for the individual stations to the spatial hierarchical modeling for all stations. In our study, a latent spatial process is assumed for the scale parameters of the generalized Pareto distributions (GPDs) for all the stations over the study region. This spatial process then includes …

“We have a roof over our head, but we have to eat too": Tracing the impact of shifting foodsapes on health and wellbeing from homelessness to supportive housing
… becomes deeply embedded in complex social and spatial processes – or foodscapes. Purpose: By exploring people’s shifting foodscapes during the transition from homelessness into permanent housing, this study aims to shed light on how daily activities involving food can impact a person’s sense of …

Multiscale decomposition of spatial lattice data for hotspot prediction
… Next, we make use of the DPT to decompose spatial lattice data along with the multiscale Ht-index and the spatial scan statistic as a measure of saliency on the extracted pulses to detect significant hotspots. In the literature, geostatistical techniques such as Kriging has been used in …

Geostatistical design and analysis for estimating local variations in malaria disease burden
… the problem of sampling design for efficient spatial prediction taking account of uncertain covariance structure, in the context of nonadaptive designs. We propose two classes of designs, namely: simple inhibitory and inhibitory plus close pairs. We evaluate the performance of these designs …

The invention of order: modern spatial concepts and the emergence of the Americas
… carved out in the sixteenth century as a global-spatial process through the invention of the Americas as the New World and only later temporalized as progress, maturity, and development in the eighteenth century. My argument is developed by engaging in a comparative philosophical dialogue with …

Riparian willow dynamics and their interaction with environmental and biological factors in the elk winter range of Rocky Mountain National Park (Colorado) - a multi-scale analysis
… from these studies were incorporated into a spatial, process based model (SAVANNA). Morphological and physiological characteristic of willows protected and unprotected from elk browsing were compared. Browsing induced plant canopy changes and reduced the relative amount of carbon allocated …

Spatio-temporal modelling of informal settlement growth using a hybrid GIS and CA-Markov model
… relating to how past and future morphological processes of informal settlements evolve. Towards acquiring this understanding, the research study develops a hybrid GIS and Cellular Automata Markov model, to simulate the future spatio-temporal growth of informal settlements in the City of Cape …

Financial Assistance And The Spatial Development Of Tourism In Ontario
Tourism and its impacts are characterized by spatial variation. Recognizing this, governments have actively tried to influence the location of tourism development in an attempt to capture perceived benefits associated with tourism. One of the most direct approaches used has been the provision of …

New numerical methods for open-loop and feedback solutions to dynamic optimization problems
… structure. The proposed method uses an optimal spatial statistical predictor called universal kriging to construct the surrogate model of a feedback controller, which is capable of quickly predicting an optimal control estimate based on current state (and time) information. With universal …

War Machines of the Charitable City: Fundraising and the architecture of territory in Paris
… as a social construct and a transformative spatial process. It approaches fundraising from an etiological perspective, drawing on French continental theory, particularly the work of Michel Serres and of Deleuze and Guattari, as well as concepts arising from literature in relational …

Modeling Point Patterns, Measurement Error and Abundance for Exploring Species Distributions
… In the core of the statistical methodology, lies spatial modeling that provides greater flexibility and improved predictive performance over existing algorithms. The applications involve prevalence datasets for hundreds of plants over a large area in the Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of South …

The transformation of the ideal wilderness : a case study of Springfield, Missouri and the mid-size American city
… case study, the city is viewed as a process of transformation, a reading which is used to build a layered spatial comprehension, interpreting the terrain as a set of limits, cultural production, and space of collective desire; and the city as a negotiation between global economic …

Prediction and Anomaly Detection Techniques for Spatial Data
… concern on environmental issues, huge amounts of spatial data have been collected from location based social network applications to scientific data. This has encouraged formation of large spatial data set and generated considerable interests for identifying novel and meaningful patterns. Allowing …
