ABSTRACT This project analyzed the spread of influence in social media, in particular, the Twitter social media site, and identified the individuals who exert the most influence to those they interact with. There are published studies that use social media to assess public perception and sentiment regarding public transit. The project had two goals. First, to identify the online sources of opinions as expressed in social media networks and second, to identify a set of social network users who collectively have the largest spread of influence on the social network. The sequence of methods to accomplish these goals include, 1) extraction of transportation related social media messages; 2) extract spatial relations between social media users; 3) parameter identification of influence spread models; 4) Influence maximization for transportation topics; 5) GIS visualization; and 6) datasets. After development of the methods were completed, the analysis produced by our approach was evaluated for correctness. We randomly selected subsets of the test data for manual annotation. Specifically, investigators manually determined if these test data messages were relevant to one of the pre-determined transportation topics and if these messages had been so identified by the topic modeling step. The following are the deliverables for this project: a) Analysis of online social media communications to identify statements related to transportation; b) Discovery of originators of frequently transmitted messages on transportation, c) Set of most influential social media users for specific topics (the number of such users varied by the planner), and 4) Output of results in format that can be ingested by industry-standard GIS tools. 17.

Their locations are indicated in Google Maps. Although papers in the current literature propose different measures of influence using both contrived and real data, mentions and retweets are the most reliable measures of influence. To date, our work is the only work in the study of influence that is transportation- related. We believe our tool will advance the state of the practice. We have listed many purposes that can be addressed by using our tool including limiting misinformation and encouraging acceptance of a new transportation product or service. 6 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Problem Statement In Southern California, public transit is an unpopular mode of transportation. There are many reasons for this sentiment. Communities and business districts are so spread out that one person might live in Los Angeles and work in Claremont. It is generally impractical to ride the train or the buses in this situation, unless, for example, the MetroLink can be a convenient alternative. People generally believe that public transportation is slow, not reliable, not safe, and not clean. Some of these beliefs have an actual basis, and some do not. For example, reliability depends on a particular route, and safety depends on the area surrounding a station. Most people who do not usually ride public transportation will never be able to experience its benefit if they hear negative experiences and views of other riders. Consider the following situation. An unpleasant experience happens to a rider, for instance, if she missed her plane due to the Los Angeles Airport FlyAway shuttle being late. The disgruntled passenger, especially if young, might tell her story in Twitter or Facebook, or write about the unpleasant experience in her blog. Consequently, her followers will take note of this experience, and will affect their decisions to take or not take the LAX FlyAway shuttle for their next trip to the airport depending on the amount of influence the dissatisfied passenger has exerted on them. In this project, we have analyzed the concept of influence in social media, in particular, the Twitter social media site, and identified the individuals who exert the most influence to those they interact with using two measures of influence, the Twitter mention and retweet. There are several studies that use social media to assess

Böhlen and F. Cafagna BSc Thesis:Temporal Support for Procedural Code in PostgreSQL Advisor: Amr Noureldin (noureldin@ifi.uzh.ch) Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Michael Bohlen¨ (boehlen@ifi.uzh.ch) Start date: TBD Duration: 6 months Background Temporal databases are those that provide support for the time dimension. There are two time aspects asso- ciated with temporal data: valid time, and transaction time. Throughout this project, the emphasis will be on Valid time, which is the time frame through which a particular fact is true in the real world [1, 3]. Table 1a illustrates a temporal version of an Employee table in a database. Looking into the first entry that belongs to Employee C, we can deduce that C was employed on 2010-11-15 until 2011-01-15 with a salary of 6000. He received a salary increase later on and thus, a new entry was created that is valid from 2011-02-15. In a traditional database, the entry would have just been updated and consequently, losing historical information. Assuming that we take a snapshot of the temporal table at Time = 2010-12-15,a non-temporal snapshot of Table 1a would be as shown in Table 1b. Name Salary TS1 TE2 A 9000 2010-08-15 2010-09-15 Name Salary B 5000 2010-10-15 2011-03-15 B 5000 C 6000 2010-11-15 2011-01-15 C 6000 C 7000 2011-02-15 (b) Non-temporal (a) Temporal Table 1: Employee table Figure 1 visualizes the input temporal data of Table 1a on a graphical timeline.

This is the climbing guide to the Sea Stacks of County Donegal in the north west of Ireland. The stacks are listed starting at Silver Stand by Malinbeg in the South West of Co. Donegal and travelling North East (clockwise) towards the peninsula of Inishowen in the north of the county. Included in this guide are several conventional sea cliff venues, conveniently located throughout the guide to provide alternative climbing options if sea condition are not favourable for access to your chosen stack. Links to the more conventional rock climbing found in the comprehensive guidebooks to each area and island are found in the area descriptions thoughout this guide. For these I have used More Info Click Here. For ease of navigation I have added google maps pins to some of the key locations thoughout this guide, The Sturrall Google Maps pin Access The sea stack routes in this guide have all been given conventional rock climbing grades. It is worth bearing in mind that most of these sea stacks require varying length’s of sea passage to access the base of the stack.

  • Rethinking the Usage and Experience of Clustering Markers in Web Mapping
    Rethinking the Usage and Experience of Clustering Markers in Web Mapping Lo¨ıcF ¨urhoff1 1University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO), School of Management and Engineering Vaud (HEIG-VD), Media Engineering Institute (MEI), Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland Corresponding author: Lo¨ıc Furhoff¨ 1 Email address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Although the notion of ‘too many markers’ have been mentioned in several research, in practice, displaying hundreds of Points of Interests (POI) on a web map in two dimensions with an acceptable usability remains a real challenge. Web practitioners often make an excessive use of clustering aggregation to overcome performance bottlenecks without successfully resolving issues of perceived performance. This paper tries to bring a broad awareness by identifying sample issues which describe a general reality of clustering, and provide a pragmatic survey of potential technologies optimisations. At the end, we discuss the usage of technologies and the lack of documented client-server workflows, along with the need to enlarge our vision of the various clutter reduction methods. INTRODUCTION Assuredly, Big Data is the key word for the 21st century. Few people realise that a substantial part of these massive quantities of data are categorised as geospatial (Lee & Kang, 2015). Nowadays, satellite- based radionavigation systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, etc.) are omnipresent on all types of new digital devices. Trends like GPS Drawing, location-based game (e.g. Pokemon´ Go and Harry Potter Wizard Unite), Recreational Drone, or Snapchat ‘GeoFilter’ Feature have appeared in the last five years – highlighting each time a new way to consume location. Moreover, scientists and companies have built outstanding web frameworks and tools like KeplerGL to exploit geospatial data.
