Spatially extensive analysis of satellite, climate, and census data reveals humanenvironment interactions of regional or continental concern i n the United States. A grid-based principal components analysis of Bureau of Census variables revealed two independent demographic phenomena, a-settlement reflecting traditional human settlement patterns and p-settlement describing relative population gr...

Due to the scarcity of useable land in Hong Kong, it is a common practice to reclaim land from the sea. The reclaimed land usually undergoes a long period of settlement that may affect building structures and underground facilities such as water supply and sewage systems built on the land. Measurements of land settlement can provide valuable data for assessing the impacts of land settlement and...

The landscapes of the Near East show both the first settlements and the longest trajectories of settlement systems. Mounding is a characteristic property of these settlement sites, resulting from millennia of continuing settlement activity at distinguished places. So far, however, this defining feature of ancient settlements has not received much attention, or even been the subject of systemati...

Large value payment and securities settlement systems are important components of an economy's nancial system. Many such systems are operated by central banks and are liquidity intensive. Central banks often provide inexpensive liquidity to facilitate settlement. This leads to a number of policy questions about the provision of such liquidity. To answer these questions, central banks need to un...

For sessile marine invertebrates with complex life cycles, habitat choice is directed by the larval phase. Defining which habitat-linked cues are implicated in sessile invertebrate larval settlement has largely concentrated on chemical cues which are thought to signal optimal habitat. There has been less effort establishing physical settlement cues, including the role of surface microtopography...

Several generalized Wallman type spaces are considered as well as various lattices of subsets therein. In particular, regularity of these lattices and consequences are investigated. Also considered are necessary and sufficient conditions for these lattices to be Lindel6f as well as replete, prime complete, and fully replete.

We prove the existence of designs of small size in a number of contexts. In particular our techniques can be applied to prove the existence of ndesigns on S of size Od(n d log(n)d−1).

A separable Banach space X contains l1 isomorphically if and only if X has a bounded fundamental total wc∗0-stable biorthogonal system. The dual of a separable Banach space X fails the Schur property if and only if X has a bounded fundamental total wc∗0-biorthogonal system.

In this article we introduce the difference double sequence spaces 2`∞(∆, q), 2c(∆, q), 2c0(∆, q), 2c(∆, q), 2c0 (∆, q), 2c (∆, q) and 2c0 (∆, q) defined over a seminormed space (X, q), seminormed by q. We examine some topological and algebraic properties of these spaces like symmetricity, solidness, monotonocity, convergence free, nowhere densenes etc. We prove some inclusion results too.

In this paper, we obtain the existence and the uniqueness of common best proximity point theorems for non-self mappings between two subsets of a complex valued metric space satisfying certain contractive conditions. Our results supported by some examples.
