Region-Based Theory of Space: Algebras of Regions, Representation Theory, and Logics
2007In this paper, we present recent results in the region-based theory of space that concern algebras of regions, the corresponding topological and discrete models, and representation theory. We also discuss applications to Qualitative Spatial Reasoning (QSR), an actively developing branch of AI and Knowledge Representation (KR).

Practical geostatistics treats the results as if they were the outcomes of correlated random processes and is underpinned by assumptions of stationarity.

The Theory of Photoionized Regions
2003In this chapter, we move from considering plasmas that are excited by predominantly collisional means to those that are heated by energetic photons coming from a photoionizing source, be it a star, a nucleus of an active galaxy, or whatever. Such photoionization-dominated plasmas are very commonly observed in galaxies and historically, were one of the ...
