This paper presents the methodology for simulating the process of construction operations by using object-oriented approach. Authors developed a prototype system to model construction operations and to simulate their behavior at site, which included the random effects of weather and productivity in operations. Through the implementations of this prototype system, authors concluded the object-or...

This paper presents a novel combination of chemical sensors and the KIII model for simulating mixture perception with a habituation process triggered by local activity. Stimuli are generated by partitioning feature space with labeled lines. Pattern completion is demonstrated through coherent oscillations across granule populations using experimental odor mixtures.

Aploneura lentisci Pass. is endemic to the Mediterranean region where it is holocyclic, forming galls on its primary host, Pistacia lentiscus and alternating over a 2-year period between Pistacia and secondary hosts, principally species of Gramineae. This aphid is widely distributed in Australia and New Zealand on the roots of the common forage grasses, ryegrass (Lolium spp.) and tall fescue (S...

armillaria root and crown rot is an important disease of woody plants including fruit, forest and ornamental trees in different regions. the disease is common in isfahan and causes economical losses on a broad range of fruit trees. there only a few tolerant varieties to disease, and there is no efficient method in controlling the disease. therefore, detection of the pathogen from soil is necess...

Transformative experience has been the buzzword in recent years. Tourism and hospitality experiences natural, historical, cultural, authentic spaces are some of them. However, to this date, specific dimensions transformation or its process have not empirically identified. This study reviewed literature on transformation, used open-ended questions collect free-elicited responses meanings collect...

This paper illustrates the main results of a spatio-temporal interpolation process PM10 concentrations at daily resolution using set 410 monitoring sites, distributed throughout Italian territory, for year 2015. The is based on Bayesian hierarchical model where spatial-component represented through Stochastic Partial Differential Equation (SPDE) approach with lag-1 temporal autoregressive compo...
