increasing urban network has both positive (accessibility) and negative (air pollution) impacts. in this research air quality is chosen as key elements with respect to their critical roles in quality of life and urban health. the overall objective of this study is to develop a mathematical model to plan appropriate locations for residential land uses and urban transportation network development...

Non-intrusive, real-time analysis of the dynamics eye region allows us to monitor humans' visual attention allocation and estimate their mental state during performance real-world tasks, which can potentially benefit a wide range human-computer interaction (HCI) applications. While commercial eye-tracking devices have been frequently employed, difficulty customizing these places unnecessary con...

This paper presents results from the first rational model of eye movement control in reading to make predictions for the full range of the eye movement record. The model identifies the text through Bayesian inference and makes eye movement decisions to maximize the efficiency of text identification, going beyond leading approaches which select model parameters to maximize the fit to human data....

We study the problem of optimal oculomotor control during the execution of visual search tasks. We introduce a computational model of human eye movements, which takes into account various constraints of the human visual and oculomotor systems. In the model, the choice of the subsequent fixation location is posed as a problem of stochastic optimal control, which relies on reinforcement learning ...

objective: objective: dermal papilla and hair epithelial stem cells regulate hair formation and growth cycle. damage to or losing of these cells can cause hair loss. although several studies have claimed to reconstitute hairs using rodent cells in animal model, a stable human hair follicle reconstitution protocol needs more studies. here in this study we evaluated hair induction through injecti...

In the context of globalization of economic development processes, the issue of determining the level of public welfare of economic agents is particularly burning. The object of ehis study is the process of assessing welfare of the economic entities system. The subject of the study is the instrumental and mathematical aspects of modeling and measuring the public welfare. The aim of the work is ...

abstract in recent years, many researchers have attempted to estimate the soil hydraulic functions (e.g. soil moisture characteristics curve, and hydraulic conductivity function) using particle-size distribution (psd) curve. in these studies, an accurate mathematical representation of psd is required for fitting the observed data. so far, some mathematical models were developed with different l...
