These This paper looks into frameworks which aim at furthering the discussion of the role of regenerative design practices in a city’s historic core and the tool of urban design to achieve urban revitalization on the island of Cyprus. It also examines the region’s demographic mix, the effectiveness of its governmental coordination and the strategies of adaptive reuse and strategic investments i...

about half a century ago, following the introduction of urban sprawl up concept, various studies have been conducted to describe the mechanism and the formation of this phenomenon. some of these studies aimed at finding the negative and positive impacts of such phenomenon on urban area with emphasis on how such concept may be looked open from environmental, economical and social perspectives.th...

Currently a new version of the distance education platform WeLearn [3] to be combined with an agent system ([1], also developed locally) for providing advanced services [2] is under development. In a previous stage of the project software was created to automatically derive keywords from documents, either from the different versions of metadata already contained (various Microsoft file formats,...

As our ability to store information increases, the mechanisms we employ to access that information become ever more important. In this paper, we present Archosum, a prototype of an organizational system that attempts to encapsulate the benefits of both hierarchical and keyword systems. By introducing abstract entities, Archosum provides a simple interface with which users can build and maintain...

Advanced knowledge-based hazard algorithms would require better knowledge of ttering characteristics of hydrometeors such as , hailstones, and snowflakes. Especially, characteristics becomes important for utilize phase-array dual-polarization radar Traditionally, theoretical approaches [1]...

Some urban spaces are associated with disproportionate numbers of criminal events, while other areas relatively free from disorder and crime. The relationship between space crime concentration has received increased attention in recent years, the location quotient frequently presented as a tool to identify quantify such concentration. This measure several limitations, one significant concern su...

INTRODUCTION Current regulations for atmospheric particulate matter include PM10 and PM2.5 mass concentration. Fine particulates (those below 1000 nm) are not included in the regulatory limits. These particles contribute significantly to particle number concentration (PNC), but little to particle mass concentration. It is widely hypothesised that number concentrations of fine particles are bett...

This article explores two neglected questions: (1) Does the relationship between hospital concentration and costs vary between urban and rural markets? and (2) Do hospital costs in non-metropolitan areas vary with rurality? Covariance model results using 1992 data reveal that: (1) Although metropolitan and urban markets exhibit a negative relationship between hospital average costs and market c...
