Quality modelling and metrics of Web-based information systems
… of Web-based information systems, which include navigability and timeliness. The quality modeling method proposed in this study has the following strengths. It is more objective and rigorous than existing approaches. The quality analysis can be conducted in the early stage of system life cycle on …

Hydropeaking in Alpine rivers: an ecosystem services approach
… temporally the suitability for the rafting navigability in different discharge conditions. We applied the method to the Noce River, an Alpine River in Northern Italy affected by hydropeaking. Our analysis showed that in this river, the water releases are fundamental to maintain high flow …

Computational Methods for Natural Walking in Virtual Reality
… with fewer collisions, allow us to predict the navigability of a pair of environments without collecting any locomotion data, and deepen our understanding of how human perception functions during locomotion in VR.

A global framework for scene gist
… and functional aspects of scene space (such as navigability or mean depth). In Chapter 1, four experiments explore the human sensitivity to global properties for rapid scene categorization, as well as the computational sufficiency of these properties for predicting scene categories. Chapter 2 …

Systematic connectivity in single thread meandering alluvial rivers: statistical generalization of hydraulic geometry
… meandering streams as a solution to river navigability. These types of rivers are naturally ordered systems, which exhibits self-similarity amongst many scales. Four river sections and four experimental runs were used to investigate patterns in depth connectivity with varied path …

Habitat Suitability and Availability for Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the Canyon Reservoir Tailrace and Evaluation of Side Scan Sonar for Habitat Mapping in a Semi-Wadable River
… area. Challenges related to water level, access, navigability, positional accuracy, and post-processing were overcome. Trial runs, training, map accuracy assessments, and technological development will improve the effectiveness of this technique.

Assessing Bikeability in Virginia: A Comparison of CHATGPT-4o and Traditional Models
… complexity level (CL), reflecting the visual navigability of each location. Results revealed that many SVIs exhibit a moderate CL, indicating that the cycling environment offers clear visual conditions that may improve safety for cyclists. The CL, combined with three other factors: greenery, …

Towards a system redesign for better performance and customer satisfaction : a case study of the ICTS helpdesk at the University of Cape Town
… using hierarchies and taxonomies improves navigability in the knowledge structure. Thirdly, visual knowledge representation that supplements textual knowledge adds more meaning to the user, and is such a major and important technique that it can even cater for novice users.

Hydrodynamic controls on multiple tidal inlet persistence
… is fundamental for issues such as water quality, navigability, and beach/barrier stability. In long embayments, having extended residence times, the stability of multiple inlets can be important for more efficient flushing and water exchange between the embayment and the ocean. Many approaches …

Physical and geochemical characterisation of canal sediments in the Black Country, West Midlands.
… the sediments. Dredging of canals is needed for navigability purposes and consequently testing of dredged sediments (to assess whether sediments are hazardous) and landfilling can be costly for British Waterways facing constantly changing regulations and reduction in government grants. PHE …

Predicting suspended sediment in Illinois rivers using dimensionless rating curves
… are a serious concern to the environment and navigability of Illinois rivers, the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. Therefore, understanding the amount of sediment in a river is important. Measuring the sediment, though, can be a lengthy, time-consuming, and expensive process. In this …
