In this study, the long-term suitability of area proposals for winter recreation activities in Seyhan Basin (Türkiye), which is located Mediterranean and Central Anatolia regions includes a large part Taurus Mountains, were examined ecologically. For purpose, predicted global warming scenarios basin anthropogenic impacts arising from planned areas evaluated upper (recreation areas) lower (water...

In order to improve the efficiency of spectrum resource usage and the capacity of wireless networks, cooperative relay techniques which utilize the vacant spectrum of primary users for secondary users’ data transmission have been applied in cognitive radio networks. Considering the dynamic time-varying vacant spectrum resources and achievable rate on different channels at relay nodes (RN), the ...

Computational Grids are a promising platform for executing large-scale resource intensive applications. However, resource management and scheduling in the Grid environment is a complex undertaking as resources are (geographically) distributed, heterogeneous in nature, owned by different individuals or organizations with their own policies, have different access and cost models, and have dynamic...

Restructuring of Electricity supply industry introduced many issues such as transmission pricing, transmission loss allocation and congestion management. Many methodologies and algorithms were proposed for addressing these issues. In this paper a power flow tracing based method is proposed which involves Matrices methodology for the transmission usage and loss allocation for generators and dema...

Public recreation land management agencies have been searching for ways to increase revenue. User fees as implemented by the Fee Demonstration Program have received the most attention. Corporate sponsorships and private donations have also been implemented and other options, such as partial privatization, closure of some areas, and different forms of public-private partnerships have been debate...

ity communities, and to adapt site attributes to better reflect ethnic preferences, increased use by Hispanics and Asians is prompting managers to search for innovative ways to respond to the different natural resource values held by minority visitors (Tierney et al. 1998, Chavez 2001, Chavez 2002). For example, in southern California, some national forest recreation managers have implemented “...

background: quality of care for patients might be increased costs of care reduced as a result of  standards implementation in intensive care units because it prevent managerial errors and reduce preventable deaths in this sensible unit in hospitals. the main goal of the icus can be achieved by proper financial resource allocation, monitoring standards, fixing old or non standard physical struct...

Over recent years, the demand for supplies of freshwater is escalating with increasing food a fast-growing population. The agriculture sector Pakistan contributes to 26% its GDP and employs 43% entire labor force. However, currently used traditional farming methods such as flood irrigation rotating water allocation system (Warabandi) results in excess untimely usage, well low crop yield. Intern...

In the demand for recreational fishing sites, an important explanatory variable differentiating sites is the unobserved expected catch rate. Since the observed catch rate is subject to sampling variability, using the average of a site’s observed catch rates causes the parameter estimator on catch to be biased downward. We develop and demonstrate a solution to this errors-in-variables problem wh...
