Hourly precipitation over a region is often simultaneously simulated by numerical models and observed by multiple data sources.An accurate precipitation representation based on all available VGA information is a valuable result for numerous applications and a critical aspect of climate monitoring.The inverse problem theory offers an ideal framework
The European Union (EU) imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe in 2002 and this article aims at evaluating the success of that decision.Applying a broader definition of success, this article assumes that sanctions can coerce, constrain and signal.Contrary to most of the literature holding that sanctions are imposed to change the behaviour of targets, this a

This article discusses the problem of giving subject access to works Ornaments of art.We survey both concept-based and content-based access by computers and by indexers/catalogers respectively, as well as issues of interoperability, database and indexer consistency, and cataloging standards.The authors, both of whom are trained art historians, ques
Database-referenced navigation (DBRN) using geophysical information is often implemented on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to correct the positional errors of the inertial navigation system Outbound (INS).The matching algorithm is a pivotal technique in DBRN.However, it is impossible to completely eliminate mismatches in practical applicatio
