Land use regulation and new construction

This paper describes the relationship between land use regulation and residential construction. We characterize regulations as either adding explicit costs, uncertainty, or delays to the development process. The theoretical framework suggests that the effects on new construction vary by the type of regulation. Using quarterly data from a panel of 44 U.S. metropolitan areas between 1985 and 1996...

New polytopes from products

We construct a new 2-parameter family Emn, m, n ≥ 3, of self-dual 2-simple and 2-simplicial 4-polytopes, with flexible geometric realisations. E44 is the 24-cell. For large m, n the f -vectors have “fatness” close to 6. The Et-construction of Paffenholz and Ziegler applied to products of polygons yields cellular spheres with the combinatorial structure of Emn. Here we prove polytopality of thes...

A New Image Fusion Technique Based on Directive Contrast

For making an image, which is more suitable for segmentation, feature extraction, object recognition, and Human Visual System, image fusion is frequently used technique. It combines complimentary information from different images of the same scene in a single image. In this paper, a simple but efficient algorithm is presented for image fusion employed in wavelet packet domain. For fusion, all t...

The Products Liability Directive: A Mandatory Development Risks Defense

This Note argues that the optional inclusion of the development risks defense in Member State legislation undermines the Products Liability Directive by impeding harmonization of products liability laws in the Community. Part I sets forth the background and content of the Products Liability Directive. Part II discusses the implementation of the Products Liability Directive in Member State legis...
