Considering The Non-Programming Geographer's Perspective When Designing Extracurricular Introductory Computer Programming Workshops, Thomas R Etherington
Considering The Non-Programming Geographer's Perspective When Designing Extracurricular Introductory Computer Programming Workshops, Thomas R Etherington
Journal of Spatial Information Science
Computer programming is becoming an increasingly important scientific skill, but geographers are not necessarily receiving this training as part of their formal education. While there are efforts to promote and support extracurricular introductory computer programming workshops, there remain questions about how best to deliver these workshops. Therefore, as part of a recent introductory programming extracurricular workshop I organized for non-programing geographers, I tried to understand more about their perceptions of computer programming. I identify that one of the most important aspects for geographers to learn to computer program is to have training that is domain specific to ensure that the …
Analysis Hypsometric Curves For Watersheds In Jordan Using Gis And Remote Sensing, Hassan Sababaha Sababaha
Analysis Hypsometric Curves For Watersheds In Jordan Using Gis And Remote Sensing, Hassan Sababaha Sababaha
Journal of the Faculty of Arts (JFA)
This study aims to evaluate hypsometric Curves of major basins in Jordan through identifying the relation between the area and altitude. Moreover, it seeks to explain the geomorphological development stages including youth, maturity, and senescence of the basins using remote sensing and GIS techniques and other functions related to the calculation of hypsometric Curves for each basin. Results showed that the hypsometric factor of Jordanian basins was in the range of 0.19 for Lahjani basin in the southern part of Wadi Araba and 0.80 in Zarqa'a Mae'en basin in the Dead Sea area. The regression analysis between hypsometric integralandbasin area …
Transitory Ownership: A Spatial Analysis Of The Financialization Of The Housing Market In Cincinnati, Oh, Chad Kinsella, Colleen Mctague, Rafael Ranieri
Transitory Ownership: A Spatial Analysis Of The Financialization Of The Housing Market In Cincinnati, Oh, Chad Kinsella, Colleen Mctague, Rafael Ranieri
The Journal of Economics and Politics
The mortgage bubble that burst in 2007 created an economic environment where many housing properties were transferred from individual households to investors hoping for quick profits with minimal investment. These properties were traded among investors, businesses, and lenders; they acquired a market identity as financial assets; and many of these properties were acquired by “out-of-area” interests. This study examines properties purchased by out-of-area interests that were sold in 2009 within the City of Cincinnati in an attempt to identify the spatial implications of the financialization of this housing stock. The analysis finds that many of these properties were sold multiple …
