In some standard applications of spatial point pattern analysis, window selection for spatial point pattern data is complex. Often, the point pattern window is given a priori. Otherwise, the region is chosen using some ...

The Discrete Pulse Transform (DPT) makes use of LULU smoothing to decompose a signal into block pulses. The most recent and effective implementation of the DPT is an algorithm called the Roadmaker's Pavage, which uses ...

Forensic dentists are frequently required to determine the age at death of unidentified skeletons, or to age live individuals who have no record / documentation of their chronological age. In order to be of the greatest ...

Frequent-flier programs (FFPs) are used by airlines to generate loyalty and attract new customers. Research has shown that these programs signifi - cantly affect travelers’ choice of airlines. In the managed travel environment ...

White lions are a colour variant of the African lion Panthera leo melanochaita and disappeared from the wild due to anthropogenic factors until their reintroduction to the Greater Kruger Park Region of South Africa in ...

Call centres are increasingly being utilised in public sector programmes to facilitate and manage communication between numerous stakeholders. Yet, the impact of call centres on projects has not been investigated. This ...

The Discrete Pulse Transform (DPT) is a nonlinear decomposition of a signal and extracts the structures in a signal at discrete scale levels. This study models the image structure extracted using the DPT as connected ...

We present a historical and theoretical overview of the more complicated and less used G/M and M/G queueing processes, which allow for non-specific arrival and service time distributions. Such a model provides a more ...

The analysis of point patterns on linear networks is receiving current attention in spatial statistics. This refers to the analysis of points in a spatial domain that coincide with a linear network like a road network. The ...
