Urban space has been formed in historical texture of cities under the influence of meaning and shape on the onehand and qualities related to human behaviors on the other hand. Among these points, neighborhood centers as themost important areas of social life in urban open space play a critical role in attracting people and improving qualityand vitality of environment. This study presents the re...

The self-organizing map (SOM) is an unsupervised learning method as well as a type of nonlinear principal component analysis that forms a topologically ordered mapping from the high-dimensional data space to a low-dimensional representation space. It has recently found wide applications in such areas as visualization, classification, and mining of various data. However, when the data sets to be...

In this paper, we define new subclass of analytic functions related with bounded positive real part, and coefficients estimates, duality and neighborhood are considered.

This paper considers the VRP Problem with Soft Time-Windows (VRPSTW), a challenging routing problem due to its combination of hard time windows and a lexicographic objective function minimizing the number of vehicles, the violations of the soft time windows, and the total travel distance. The paper presents a multi-stage, variable neighborhood search algorithm for the VRPSTW, which uses the sam...

Let k~l be an integer, and let G = (V, E) be a graph. The closed kneighborhood N k[V] of a vertex v E V is the set of vertices within distance k from v. A 3-valued function f defined on V of the form f : V --+ { -1,0, I} is a three-valued k-neighborhood dominating function if the sum of its function values over any closed k-neighborhood is at least 1. The weight of a threevalued k-neighborhood ...

this paper intends to highlight one of the key concerns of housing designers i.e. the influence of open space on human satisfaction as well as their attachment to a particular place. consequently, neighborhood open spaces with their meaningful layout seem to be constituent elements of residential complexes. although, architects and designers try to create qualitative areas among buildings, the ...

participation of people in their cities and neighborhoods has always been emphasized by researchers and experts in order to improve the quality of citizens’ life and having efficient urban management. however, it seems that providing participation contexts at local level by citizens needs preparations and substrates that facilitate participation. in the meantime, establishing a neighborhood man...
