Incorporating User Opinion into a New Wine Tourism Map for Southwest Virginia
Thematic tourist maps provide users with a tangible geographic route to their travel destinations and also may contain a wide variety of additional information to enhance traveler experiences. Unlike other types of maps that focus on accurate topographic representation of an area or on depiction of …

The Cartographic Representation of Language: Understanding language map construction and visualizing language diversity
Language maps provide illustrations of linguistic and cultural diversity and distribution, appearing in outlets ranging from textbooks and news articles to websites and wall maps. They are valuable visual aids that accompany discussions of our cultural climate. Despite the prevalent use of language …

Automated selection of topographic base information for thematic maps
Modern GIS are capable of producing well designed maps but offer little assistance to users with little cartographc knowledge. Maps which are produced by such users may have a lot of cartographic errors and be of poor design. Thus, it is very necessary to build cartographic knowledge into GIS to …

Evaluating Hybrid Quantum-Classical Models for Image Classification in the NISQ Era
… Quantum kernel methods utilizing ZZ feature maps yielded 70.5% to 96.0% accuracy, requiring 129 to 2,140 seconds training with quadratic sample size scaling. Larger scale quantum experiments (n = 4000 for both architectures, 8-qubit encoding with n = 2000 for quantum kernels) proved …

Preclinical evaluation of dissolvable microarray patches for allergy treatment: key factors governing in vitro and in silico assessment
… such as dissolvable microarray patches (MAP), offering the potential for targeted local and systemic drug effects. However, no dissolvable MAP have yet reached the market. Despite significant advances in early MAP development (e.g. materials, fabrication), critical gaps remain in …

Can Engineers Be Primed to Think in Systems? An Empirical Study Showing the Effects of Concept Mapping on Engineering Students' Ability to Explore the Design Space
… think in systems in order to fully explore the design problem space and therefore identify appropriate design solutions. The study here presented investigates the possibility of the use of concept mapping as an intervention to prime engineering students to think in systems. In the study, 66 …
