Muslim Immigrants in Greece: Religious Organization and Local Responses
Muslims are the second largest religious group in Greece. In this essay their migration process, numbers, settlement patterns and demographic characteristics are presented. It is shown that Muslims in Greece include not only economic migrants but also an indigenous population residing in the northern part of the country. The essay discusses mainly the immigrants' efforts to establish associations and prayer halls as well as the state's initiative to establish a central mosque in the suburbs of Athens. It argues that although Muslims are now an integral part of a multi-religious Greece, there is a long way to go to achieving their integration.
Visualization and unsupervised classification of changes in multispectral satellite imagery
The statistical techniques of multivariate alteration detection, minimum/maximum autocorrelation factors transformation, expectation maximization and probabilistic label relaxation are combined in a unified scheme to visualize and to classify changes in multispectral satellite data. The methods are demonstrated with an example involving bitemporal LANDSAT TM imagery.
