Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Notes: This individual research addresses fundamental issues related to design, production and use of maps. In-depth studies of map complexity are rare, and this intensive study integrates a number of varying approaches. The novel conclusion is that data compression shows promise as an index which can be used to characterize the graphical variation within the map face: a significant number of potential application areas for such an index are presented.
