Compatibility Assessment of Multistatic/Polarimetric Clutter Data with the SIRP Model

This article deals with the statistical inference of simultaneously recorded co- and cross-polarized bistatic coherent sea-clutter returns at S-band. This study is conducted employing appropriate statistical learning tools, involving the complex envelope of data, to assess the compliance of the available measurements with the spherically...

Modelling the effect of spatial determinants on freight (trip) attraction: A spatially autoregressive geographically weighted regression approach

This paper investigates the effect of spatial and locational characteristics of establishments on freight (trip) attraction (FA/FTA) models. The authors estimated econometric models of FA and FTA as a function of the establishment attributes as well as the spatial and locational determinant variables, using establishment-level data collected...

Associations between spatial access to medical facilities and health-seeking behaviors: A mixed geographically weighted regression analysis in Shanghai, China

Enhancing the spatial accessibility to medical facilities is an important public health strategy in many countries. However, it is not clear whether enhancing spatial accessibility is capable of addressing medical care issues due to the complexity of individuals' health-seeking behavior. This study draws from Andersen's behavioral model to...

Spatial identification of critical nutrient loads of large shallow lakes: Implications for Lake Taihu (China)

Ongoing eutrophication frequently causes toxic phytoplankton blooms. This induces huge worldwide challenges for drinking water quality, food security and public health. Of crucial importance in avoiding and reducing blooms is to determine the maximum nutrient load ecosystems can absorb, while remaining in a good ecological state. These so...

The livability of spaces: Performance and/or resilience?: Reflections on the effects of spatial heterogeneity in transport and energy systems and the implications on urban environmental quality

Cities can be seen as systems of organized complexity formed by interrelated and highly dynamic sub-systems. This paper reflects on the interactions and tensions between socio-ecological and/or socio-technical sub-systems in cities and their capacity to either improve or block urban processes. In this context, spatial heterogeneity could enhance...

Effect of spatial heterogeneity of runoff generation mechanisms on the scaling behavior of event runoff responses in a natural river basin

This paper presents a theoretical investigation of the effects of spatial heterogeneity of runoff generation on the scaling behavior of runoff timing responses. A previous modeling study on the Illinois River Basin in Oklahoma had revealed a systematic spatial trend in the relative dominance of different runoff generation mechanisms,...

Geographic and dynamic heterogeneity of home ownership

Workshop 2.Session B. Abstract. Determination of the demand for home ownership is analysed. Determinants include prices and short- and medium-term price changes, public regulation (regulation of house rent, housing subsidies, taxation), competition from alternative residence forms (measured by supply of subsidized housing), social composition of...
