Wegman, F. (author), Berg, H.Y. (author), Cameron, I. (author), Thompson, C. (author), Siegrist, S. (author), Weijermans, W. (author)Over the past decades, road safety in highly-motorised countries has made significant progress. Although we have a fair understanding of the reasons for this progress, we don't have conclusive evidence for this. A new generation of road safety management approaches has entered road safety, starting when countries decided to guide themselves by...journal article 2015

(author)Background Most poliovirus infections occur with no symptoms and this leads to the possibility of silent circulation, which complicates the confirmation of global goals to permanently end poliovirus transmission. Previous simple models based on hypothetical populations assumed perfect detection of symptomatic cases and suggested the need to...journal article 2015

Thompson, K.M. (author), Kalkowska, D.A. (author), Duintjer Tebbens, R.J. (author)Poliovirus importations into polio-free countries represent a major concern during the final phases of global eradication of wild polioviruses (WPVs). We extend dynamic transmission models to demonstrate the dynamics of population immunity out through 2020 for three countries that only used inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) for routine...journal article 2015

(author)Valuation of real estate/ properties is in many countries/ cities the basis for fair taxation. The value depends on many aspects, including the physical real world aspects (geometries, material of object as build) and legal/virtual aspects (rights, restrictions, responsibilities, zoning/development plans applicable to the objects spaces)....conference paper 2014

Soon, Kean Huat (author), Thompson, Rod (author), Khoo, Victor (author)For any developments that require spatial data, often the fusion of diverse spatial datasets is unavoidable. For instance in developing a 3D cadastral database serving various purposes, data may need to be sourced from different spatial datasets such as: building design models in BIM (Building Information Model) format, topographic and built...conference paper 2014

Karki, Sudarshan (author), Thompson, Rod (author)This is a discussion paper for initiating an on-going conversation on “Initial Registration of 3D Parcels” in the working session at the 4th International Workshop on 3D Cadastres. The working session will focus on 3D registration from multiple points of view. Figure 1 shows the aspects of 3D registration that will be discussed in the working...conference paper 2014

The first version of the 3D Cadastres questionnaire was conducted in 2010 and collected the status of 2010 and the expectations or ambitions for 2014. Most of the FIG 3D Cadastres working group members had completed the 2010...conference paper 2014

(author), Thompson, M. (author), Müller, V. (author), Wahl, S.A. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author), Daran, J.M. (author)Most available knowledge on fungal arginine metabolism is derived from studies on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which arginine catabolism is initiated by releasing urea via the arginase reaction. Orthologues of the S. cerevisiae genes encoding the first three enzymes in the arginase pathway were cloned from Kluyveromyces lactis and shown to...journal article 2014

(author)Background Global efforts to eradicate wild polioviruses (WPVs) continue to face challenges due to uninterrupted endemic WPV transmission in three countries and importation-related outbreaks into previously polio-free countries. We explore the potential role of including older children and adults in supplemental immunization activities (SIAs) to...journal article 2014

Thompson, R.J. (author)A Digital Cadastral Data Base (DCDB) is a big investment for a jurisdiction tasked with the administration of land boundaries. In the past, the development of such a database produced no real pay-back on investment until many years, and millions of dollars had been committed.

(author)Photon sources are fundamental components for any quantum photonic technology. The ability to generate high count-rate and low-noise correlated photon pairs via spontaneous parametric down-conversion using bulk crystals has been the cornerstone of modern quantum optics. However, future practical quantum technologies will require a scalable...journal article 2013

Thompson, R.J. (author), Van Oosterom, P.J.M. (author)In the move towards a 3D Cadastre, many jurisdictions are considering a hybrid 2D/3D database as either a stage of development or as a target in itself (van Oosterom, Stoter, Ploeger, Thompson and Karki 2011). The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM), which is the underlying model for the ISO 19152 standard assists in this approach by...conference paper 2012

Thompson, Rodney James (author), van Oosterom, Peter (author)The Land Administration Domain Model (ISO 19152) (ISO-TC211 2012) defines a specific geometry form which allows the clean and simple mixing of 3D cadastral objects such as volumetric parcels with the more common 2D parcels. It does this by introducing a concept of boundary surfaces, known as “face strings”. The unbounded nature in the vertical...conference paper 2012
