Let  $varpi$ be a representation of the homogeneous space $G/H$, where $G$ be a locally compact group and  $H$ be a compact subgroup of $G$. For  an admissible wavelet $zeta$ for $varpi$  and $psi in L^p(G/H), 1leq p <infty$, we determine a class of bounded  compact operators  which are related to continuous wavelet transforms on homogeneous spaces and they are called localization operators.

Urban sprawl is one of the most challenging urban phenomena. Many planners believe that it difficult to achieve sustainable development without managing undesired growth. Since 1960s, a wide range planning policies have been introduced manage sprawl. The concepts New Urbanism, smart growth, and compact city started be discussed implemented in developed countries. Jeddah, as second largest Saudi...

In this paper we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for which each Banach lattice  is    space and we study some properties of b-weakly compact operators from a Banach lattice  into a Banach space . We show that every weakly compact operator from a Banach lattice  into a Banach space  is b-weakly compact and give a counterexample which shows that the inverse is not true but we prove ...

‎it is well known that every (real or complex) normed linear space $l$ is isometrically embeddable into $c(x)$ for some compact hausdorff space $x$‎. ‎here $x$ is the closed unit ball of $l^*$ (the set of all continuous scalar-valued linear mappings on $l$) endowed with the weak$^*$ topology‎, ‎which is compact by the banach--alaoglu theorem‎. ‎we prove that the compact hausdorff space $x$ can ...

This paper describes a novel progressive and hierarchical representation for densely built urban areas. It aims at navigating through huge urban environments with network-based client-sever systems. Thanks to this method, navigation is no longer limited to walkthrough, but allows to fly over the city. This can be achieved through a set of dedicated algorithms allowing the decomposition of city ...

With characteristics differing from majority households, Latino growth is occurring at a time California is conflicted between several urban development models; a choice between developing compact cities, preserving the environment or increasing urban sprawl and slums. A central argument of this thesis is that, given their household characteristics, the growing Latino population (the future maj...

Kobe City is a metropolis including large suburbs, where housing communities have been developed for many years. People have been recently moving to the urban areas and the suburbs are losing their power to attract population. At the same time, many blocks of high-rise flats have being built near railway stations adjoining town centers, and are drawing people of all generations. Residents with ...

The magnitude of flooding in New York City by Hurricane Sandy is commonly believed to be extremely rare, with estimated return periods near or greater than 1000 years. However, the brevity of tide gauge records result in significant uncertainties when estimating the uniqueness of such an event. Here we compare resultant deposition by Hurricane Sandy to earlier storm-induced flood layers in orde...

Previous studies found a relationship between geriatric depression and social deprivation. However, most studies did not include environmental factors in the statistical models, introducing a bias to estimate geriatric depression risk because the urban environment was found to have significant associations with mental health. We developed a cross-sectional study with a binomial logistic regress...

Probabilistic embedding methods provide a principled way of deriving new spatial representations of discrete objects from human interaction data. The resulting assignment of objects to positions in a continuous, low-dimensional space not only provides a compact and accurate predictive model, but also a compact and flexible representation for understanding the data. In this paper, we demonstrate...
