A long-standing question in the planetary sciences asks what the Earth is made of. For historical reasons, volatile-depleted primitive materials similar to current chondritic meteorites were long considered to provide the `building blocks' of the terrestrial planets. But material from the Earth, Mars, comets and various meteorites have Mg/Si and Al/Si ratios, oxygen-isotope ratios, osmium-isoto...

in present paper, housing has been considered as a multidimensional and heterogeneous item. its characteristics has been considered as key elements in determination of unit price of each building unit. the aim of the present paper is to determine the degree of importance which each charactericstics of housing has for users. there fore, hedonic price function of urbun housing in khoramabad estim...

In this paper, we investigate the Fourier transform of self-similar measures on R. We provide quantitative decay rates some measures. Our method is based random walks lattices and Diophantine approximation in number fields. also completely identify all sets which are uniqueness. This generalizes a classical result Salem Zygmund.

Building with Nature is a new approach to designing water infrastructure, one that seeks to realize socioeconomic project goals in harmony with the environment. The Dutch dredging industry is promoting its application in the Netherlands, but similar concepts are emerging internationally. The Working with Nature concept has been developed under the auspices of the World Association for Waterborn...

Due to the climate change debate, a lot of research and maps of external climate parameters are available. However, maps of indoor climate performance parameters are still lacking. This paper presents a methodology for obtaining maps of performances of similar buildings that are virtually spread over whole Europe. The produced maps are useful for analyzing regional climate influence on building...

This article adds to the growth in data-driven analyses seeking compare samples of violent extremists with other populations interest. While lone-actor terrorists and public mass murderers are frequently treated as distinct offender types, both engage (or attempt engage) largely highly publicized acts violence often use similar weapons. investigates (dis)similarities between types. We a series ...

Intelligent building (IB) technologies have widespread applications in the building design and development. In this regard, it is necessary to develop intelligent building assessment models in order to satisfy the clients, professionals, and occupants' growing demands. To this end, this paper proposes an integrated analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and preference degree approach (PDA) under the ...

Experiments have been conducted on maternal-nest building and factors affecting its occurrence in the rabbit. Females deprived of nesting material built a nest out of their own body hair and were as successful in rearing young as does which used both body hair and straw; females deprived of body hair (by shaving) and nesting material showed defective maternal behaviour. Interrupting pregnancy b...
