Well, three "experts" visited the Center — we've been poked, prodded, examined with a magnifying glass — and have we learned a lot! Though we can't possibly summarize everything in this article, we want to share the gist of their findings so that you're aware of the major issues facing the Center.

The Center was very pleased when the Northeast Document Conservation Center awarded us a subsidized preservation survey. In March, Beth Patkus, with training in archives administration and preservaton, traveled from …

Integrated Spatial Reasoning In Geographic Information Systems: Combining Topology And Direction, Jayant Sharma

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As Geographic Information Systems (GISs) have gained wider acceptance and application, the interest in spatial modeling and reasoning has deepened. The purpose of a model and reasoning framework is to permit a user to experiment and study causal relationships in the real world by operating on the model only. Traditionally GISs employ purely quantitative methods to represent and infer spatial information. This approach has serious shortcomings when dealing with qualitative spatial information, which may be incomplete or imprecise and does not contain knowledge of the geometry of the spatial objects, which humans are particularly adept at utilizing in their daily …

Mr398: Water Quality Affects Property Prices: A Case Study Of Selected Maine Lakes, Holly J. Michael, Kevin J. Boyle, Roy Bouchard

Miscellaneous Reports

Lake-front property owners are potentially the recipients of the greatest economic gains from improved lake-water quality because the benefits of water quality can be capitalized in the price of lake-front properties. These same lake-front owners may also directly affect lake-water quality through the actions they take on their properties. The objective of this study is to estimate the effect of water clarity on lake-front property prices for selected Maine lakes using a hedonic property-price model. Hedonic models are used to estimate the share of property prices that are attributable to characteristics of the properties. The share of a property’s price …
