A Selection Scheme for Non-Metric Close-Range Photogrammetric Systems
In a given close-range photogrammetric project, various combinations of data acquisition and data reduction methods yield results that meet different levels of accuracy requirement. It is the responsibility of the photogrammetrist to seek out the best solution according to the goals and objectives …

Non-Metric Multi-Dimensional Scaling for Distance-Based Privacy-Preserving Data Mining
… data mining. We propose the use of non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) as a suitable technique to perturb data that are intended for distance-based data mining. The basic premise of this approach is to transform the original data into a lower dimensional space and generate new …

Variation in Non-Metric Traits of the Pelvis Between Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics
… traits of the pelvis can be achieved through metric or nonmetric analysis. However, it has been suggested that the male pelvis may exhibit more variation then the female pelvis and that sexually dimorphic nonmetric traits change with increasing age by becoming exhibiting more masculine traits. …

An Assessment of the use of Photogrammetry in Cranial Metric and Non-Metric Studies
… to easily collect and process cranial metric and non-metric data that can be used to quantify biological relatedness. While these advances are expected to continue, it is ignorant to assume that they represent a fail proof solution. A critical examination is necessary to quantify the …

Metricizing' non-metric craniofacial traits: Application of three dimensional geometric morphometric analysis to ancestral identification
Non-metric traits are commonly used by anthropologists to distinguish between groups for such things as age, sex, and even ancestry. However, many non-metric traits cannot be measured with traditional osteological tools. While these traditional methods are useful, they do not take individual …

An Assessment of the Utility of a Non-Metric Digital Camera for Measuring Standing Trees
… which makes use of a commercially available, non-metric, solid-state matrix camera to capture spatial and spectral data from an individual tree bole that can be used to measure characteristics about the stem. In this study diameters and heights were measured and used to estimate the volume of …

Mutual information: inferring tie strength and proximity in bipartite social network data with non-metric associations
… from bipartite social network data with non-metric associations. Unlike network datasets with explicit links between nodes, bipartite networks provide only implicit indications of the probable existence of connections. Therefore, as a measure of the amount of information shared between …

An optimized data reduction technique in photogrammetry
… an attractive alternative to existing photogrammetric reduction schemes for non-metric photography. While DLT resolved the problems of non-metric photography not having camera calibration information or fiducial marks for transformation of measured comparator coordinates to image coordinates, it …

Analysis of The University of Montana Forensic Case 29
The application of non-metric forensic anthropological techniques produces results that are sometimes not always scientifically valid. Using the commonly accepted techniques to produce a biological profile (age, sex, ancestry, height, pathology and trauma), an application of the methods is utilized …

Photogrammetric Systems for the Analysis of Planar Displacements in Soil
… displacements in cross-sectional areas. Photogrammetric techniques provide high-density, global information. This thesis is intended to assist prospective users in the design of photogrammetric systems for this purpose. A mathematical model which accounts for camera orientation and its changes was …

Besant revisted : the Fincastle site (DIOx-5) and archaeological cultures on the northwestern plains, 2500 B.P.-1250 B.P.
… (FeOw-1) sites. As part of this study, nearly 40 metric and non-metric attributes were examined in approximately 500 projectile points from these seven sites. Research findings indicate that two coeval groups existed in Alberta, identified as the Kenney and Sonota subphases of the Besant Phase. …

Spatial and temporal distribution of larval fishes in a large tidal river.
… in assemblage composition were analyzed using non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMS). Interannual differences were attributable to anadromous and semi-migratory species. Seasonal differences were attributable to herrings, perches, and minnows. Both interannual and seasonal differences in …

SPATIO-TEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF BIOMES IN THE NORTHWESTERN UNITED STATES (9000 YBP TO THE PRESENT)
… the last 9,000 years. The modern analysis used canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) on pollen percentages from recent sediment cores reflecting modern vegetation assemblages and climates to evaluate the amount of influence of selected environmental variables on present species distributions. …

Study of photogrammetric self-calibration adjustment method
… a viable self-calibration approach for use with non-metric cameras was investigated. Both computer generated and actual test camera data were generated to determine the effectiveness of the math model and computer program. A twenty-seven parameter bundle adjustment routine was proposed because of …

The structure of spaces of valuations and the local uniformization problem
… local ring. In both works, the definition of non-metric rooted tree is not satisfactory. This is because the definition does not guarantee the existence of an infimum for any non-empty set of valuations. This infimum is necessary in order to define and study many concepts related to such …

GROUND BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) AS BIODIVERSITY INDICATORS FOR AGE STRUCTURE IN PIEDMONT FORESTS?
… significantly across classes. The results of non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA) ordination both show a clear separation of forest age classes in terms of beetle community composition. Eighteen carabid species were identified as potential …
