Written by a former mayor of Seattle, this Article describes the “smart growth” movement as a way to sustain the livability of large urban centers in the twenty-first strategy. It describes some of the problems facing urban areas experiencing population growth, namely traffic, rising housing prices and a scarcity of open space. The ”smart growth” movement seeks to address these problems in a co...

extended abstract 1. introduction spatial expression of increase in earth planet population as the consequence of industrialization, improving the living standards, and reducing the amount of epidemic diseases in the past century, has been the physical-spatial development of urban and rural settlements. this transformation, especially during past decade, beside the technological advances, has s...

The characteristics of the smart city industry and its effects on the national economy of Korea are investigated using input-output analysis. The definition and industrial classification of a smart city are established using the Delphi technique for experts in various fields, from information and communication technologies (ICT) to governmental policies for urban matters. The results of the ana...

Formation of microtubules is a dynamic process that involves polymerization and depolymerization of αβ-tubulin heterodimers. Drugs that enhance or inhibit tubulin polymerization can destroy this dynamic process, arresting cells in the G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle. Although drugs that target tubulin generally demonstrate cytotoxic potency in the subnanomolar range, resistance due to drug efflu...

Culturing is an indispensable technique in microbiological research, and culturing with selective media has played a crucial role in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and the isolation of commercially useful microorganisms from environmental samples. Although numerous selective media have been developed in empirical studies, unintended microorganisms often grow on such media probably d...

Digital Disruption is all around us. Mobile is overtaking desktop, Social Media is beating search, Messaging Application are challenging e-mails and everything around us is becoming connected. Mobile devices especially the smart phones are fueling the culture of “Anytime, Anywhere, And Anything’’.

Embedded systems greatly outnumber desktop computing systems and are witnessing rapid growth as increasing numbers of industrial, commercial and consumer devices incorporate embedded intelligence. In addition, there are emerging application classes which were hitherto not feasible, but will be enabled by the programmability and connectivity of these pervasive computing elements. The scale and f...

Research and innovation are vital to promoting smart, sustainable and inclusive growth in Europe in line with Europe 2020 and should continue to receive a high – and ideally increased – proportion of the 2014-2020 EU Budget which is re-prioritised to focus on sustainable growth. Both challenge “pull” and technology/knowledge “push” research will be needed to deliver the twin objectives of susta...

as there is a rapid growth both in the number of power consumers and also the limitations energy resources, it is clearly accepted that the old version of power grid must change into smart grid from head to toe. one of the most important advantages of smart grid which makes it much more exclusive rather than other typical systems is the two-way connectivity between the utility and the costumers...
