Clustered and Uniform Functions
"Functions in Belfast central business district display patterns of
location- clustered, random, and uniform and these can be explained".
*In a statistical sense, a random pattern results when any point can
occur at any location and the positions of points have no effect on
other points. Uniform patterns are characterized by each point being
as far away as possible from other points. Clustered patterns indicate
point patterns with various degrees of concentration.
Random functions are usually specialised and are generally not as
common (pet shops or jewellers).
Uniform functions tend to be more common (newsagents) and as a result
they tend to be spread out evenly to allow for a fair share of
customers and prevent competition.
Clustered functions are found close together (banks, department
store), this may be for;
*Convenience- less travel to select goods.
*Information- swapped between businesses.
*Contact- between businesses.
*Comparison-customer wants to compare goods and prices.
Bid rent- Given total space available in the city, the central sites
are relatively few, so competition for them will be intense, and
prices higher. The most central sites will be the most attractive.
In our class discussion concerning or field trip in the Belfast C.B.D
we chose six functions of concern to us. This would give us a mixture
of Orders to allow us to compare and contrast.
*Department stores, building societies/banks- typical high order
functions of C.B.D.
*Sport shops/electrical shops- typical middle order functions of
C.B.D.
*Newsagents/cafes- typical low order functions of C.B.D.
>We used a map scale of 1:1250, which enabled us to show individual
buildings. We used these maps in the 'field' and we marked the six
functions on the twelve maps which covered the whole of the C.B.D, in
the suitable position. We then used reduced photocopies for our
presentation of results. A separate map was used for each of the six
functions.
Our field and area of study was the Belfast Central Business District,
the boundary streets starting at the gates of R.
The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood is a dystopian based novel about the Republic of Gilead, formally known as The United States (U.S). Gilead was formed by a military-style coup, in which this dictatorship managed to overthrow the U.S government and eradicate the U.S constitution. This new regime is a modern-day totalitarian dominated government and is run in favour of the Old Testament. This dictatorship quickly reorganised society to form new social classes and the Old Testament practices

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION: Image segmentation plays a vital role in Image Analysis and computer vision which is considered as the obstruction in the development of image processing technology, Image segmentation has been the subject of intensive research and a wide variety of segmentation techniques has been reported in the last two decades. Image segmentation is a classical and fundamental problem in computer vision. It refers to partitioning an image into several disjoint subsets
