Abstract The current rate of urbanisation is unprecedented in human history, particularly Malaysia’s densely populated areas. Natural constraints and hazards are frequently ignored this informal sprawling urban growth, exposing the population to these hazards. Deforestation, water catchment loss, extinction protected species plants, soil erosion, landslides, pollution, sedimentation, downstream...

Therapsids covered the entire spectrum of terrestrial locomotion from sprawling to parasagittal. Switching between and more erect may have been possible in earlier taxa. First, axial skeleton shows little regionalization allows lateral undulation, evolving then increasingly towards enabling dorsoventral swinging. During locomotion, every step invokes a ground reaction force functional loadings ...

Pterodactyloid pterosaurs are widely interpreted as terrestrially competent, erect-limbed quadrupeds, but the terrestrial capabilities of non-pterodactyloids are largely thought to have been poor. This is commonly justified by the absence of a non-pterodactyloid footprint record, suggestions that the expansive uropatagia common to early pterosaurs would restrict hindlimb motion in walking or ru...

A nurse residency program's best practice recommendations are presented within this article and are organized around three processes: establishing the program infrastructure, creating a multistaged evidence-based program, and sustaining the program through appropriate evaluation and dissemination of results. These recommendations represent lessons learned and key findings derived from a team of...

It is a great pleasure for me to attend the Fourth Annual Forum on City Informatization in the Asian-Pacific Region while having this opportunity to exchange views with the distinguished guests. IT Promotes Development, the theme of the annual forum which fully reveals the significance of sustainable development of informatization and its role in the development. This is a theme which attracts ...

Data from the urban renewal experience in Syracuse, New York are used to examine the impact of race on patterns of intra-urban migration. The results show that, overall, the migration patterns exhibited an exponential decay in frequency with increasing distance. Both blacks and whites display this pattern, but blacks tend to cluster more closely around the point of origin. Indirect evidence is ...

The widening income gap in post-reform China has given rise to social inequality. Among those, transport poverty and inequality have significantly affected the daily life of low-income groups. While important, this is an under-researched topic China. This academic literature glaring country’s urbanization rates, sprawling cities differentials. Most previous studies only focused on two aspects p...
