In this study, the distribution and quantities of existing green areas in city Rize were examined, active open neighborhood scale, their size, adequacy, functional qualities, area rates per capita determined. Squares, parks, children's playgrounds, sports areas, school gardens, official institutions, cemeteries, pedestrian paths, medians from open-green examined. It has been determined that con...

ABSTRACT We observed 20 Palomar–Green quasars at low redshift (z < 0.5) with total flux density >1 mJy, including four radio-loud (RLQs) and 16 radio-quiet (RQQs), using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) 5 GHz. 10 RQQs are clearly detected in VLBA images, a compact radio core is identified eight of them, indicating prevalence active galactic nucleus (AGN)-related emission this f...

FIGURE 6 | Analyses of iPSC-derived midbrain DA neurons in animals treated withVPA, ZNS, or E2. (A) Representative immunohistologic images of grafts (M2M6; green) containing DA neurons (TH; red), FOXA2 (ventral-midbrain marker; red), and TH (DA neuron marker; green). The scale bar applies to all pictures and represents 500 μm (upper) and 50 μm (lower). A comparison between each group for (B) av...

Kitaoka's Tomato is a color illusion in which a semitransparent blue-green field is placed on top of a red object (a tomato). The tomato appears red even though the pixels would appear green if viewed in isolation. We show that this phenomenon can be explained by a high-pass filter and by histogram equalization. The results suggest that this illusion does not require complex inferences about co...

The last decades have witnessed an increasingly indispensible role of high performance computing (HPC) in science, business and financial sectors, as well as military and national security areas. To introduce key aspects of HPC to a broader community, an HPC session was organized for the first time ever for the United States and Korea Conference (UKC) during 2012. This paper summarizes four inv...

Background/Purpose: In the context of the European Biodiversity policy, the Green Infrastructure Strategy is one supporting tool to mitigate fragmentation, inter-alia to increase the spatial and functional connectivity between protected and unprotected areas. The Joint Research Centre has developed an integrated model to provide a macro-scale set of indices to evaluate the connectivity of the N...

A long cycle-life, high-voltage supercapacitor featuring an activated carbon//poly(3methylthiophene) hybrid configuration with N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ionic liquid, a solvent-free green electrolyte, was developed. The cyclability of a laboratory scale cell with electrode mass loading sized for practical uses was tested at 60 °C over 16,000 galvanostatic ...

Preparation of graphene from chemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) is recognized as one of the most promising methods for large-scale and low-cost production of graphene-based materials. This study reports a new, green, and efficient reducing agent (caffeic acid/CA) for GO reduction. The CA-reduced GO (CA-rGO) shows a high C/O ratio (7.15) that is among the best rGOs prepared with green red...

Green clay layers are reported from the Pliocene–Holocene intervals in five of the six sites drilled in the South China Sea (SCS) during Leg 184. Centimeter-scale discrete, discontinuous, and bioturbated layers, constituted by stiff and porous green clays, were observed, sometimes associated with iron sulfides and pyrite. Detailed mineralogical and geochemical analyses indicate that they differ...
