In geography, regions are areas broadly divided by physical characteristics (physical geography), human impact characteristics (human geography), and the interaction of humanity and the environment (environmental geography). Geographic regions and sub-regions are mostly described by their imprecisely defined, and sometimes transitory boundaries, except in human geography, where jurisdiction areas such as national borders are clearly defined in law.
Apart from the global continental regions, there are also hydrospheric and atmospheric regions that cover the oceans, and discrete climates above the land and water masses of the planet. The land and water global regions are divided into subregions geographically bounded by large geological features that influence large-scale ecologies, such as plains and features.
As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms. For example, ecoregion is a term used in environmental geography, cultural region in cultural geography, bioregion in biogeography, and so on. The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography.

While most Singaporeans spend hours in public transport, a small number is starting to cycle to work despite inconveniences like traffic congestion and a lack of bike racks. One cyclist believes he can get to work quicker by bike than by public transport. About the Series: In statistics, an outlier refers to a person whose abilities, achievements, etc., lie outside the range of statistical probability. "Outliers" the series profiles inspiring Singaporeans who follow unbeaten paths, and deviate from societal norms.
Gary Kunkle speaks about studying high-growth companies across Pennsylvania to understand how they succeed, and what challenges they face. The Pittsburgh Regional Alliance has identified 150 such "Impact" companies, and is offering concierge-type service to help them continue to grow.
Bill Grundler has been competing since he was 5 years old. Now 42 and 4th in the SoCal region after the 2012 CrossFit Games Open, that means Grundler has been competing longer than most of his fellow competitors have been alive. Growing up, wrestling was Grundler's main sport. "And I swam mostly because there were girls in bathing suits there, plus it was good cross training," Grundler said. He was the Arizona State Wrestling Champ and Tournament of Champions Champ in 1987, and was ranked 10th in the nation by the Wrestling Poll before being sidelined by injury. As a lifeguard and then a firefighter, Grundler needed to stay in shape for his job, but he quickly became bored with the usual workout routine. A friend introduced Grundler to CrossFit in 2002. "I started to look back into the...

How do we situate artworks or even entire art movements that lie outside the notion of the artistic canon (or perceived canon)? In the expansive realm of non-Western art, what defines an outlier? Outliers can be unique objects that do not fit within the corpus, understudied art forms, works overlooked by the art market, or art that is culturally distinctive within its own region. Outliers challenge definitions. This mini-symposium is the seventh in our annual series and brings together a diverse group of scholars to explore observations about outliers in the arts of Africa, Oceania, Asia, and the Americas.
PyData NYC 2015 Clustering data into similar groups is a fundamental task in data science. Probability density-based clustering has several advantages over popular parametric methods like K-Means, but practical usage of density-based methods has lagged for computational reasons. I will discuss recent algorithmic advances that are making density-based clustering practical for larger datasets. Clustering data into similar groups is a fundamental task in data science applications such as exploratory data analysis, market segmentation, and outlier detection. Density-based clustering methods are based on the intuition that clusters are regions where many data points lie near each other, surrounded by regions without much data. Density-based methods typically have several important advantages...

Presented November 30, 2012 by Daveed Gartenstein-Ross. Last year, when the world watched the regimes in Tunisia and Egypt topple, the view quickly spread among regional security analysts that the revolutionary events in the Middle East meant the end of al Qaeda: as peaceful changes toppled longstanding dictators, the argument went, al Qaeda's violent narrative would be discredited, and it would be marginalized and rendered irrelevant. This view developed into a consensus among analysts (with some occasional outliers), but now it appears that this consensus was wrong. This lecture will examine the phenomenon of consensus views among regional security analysts that prove to be incorrect, arguing that it is a disturbingly recurring phenomenon. It will offers suggestions about why this might...
