We construct quasiconformal mappings in Euclidean spaces by integration of a discontinuous kernel against doubling measures with suitable decay. The differentials of mappings that arise in this way satisfy an isotropic form of the doubling condition. We prove that this isotropic doubling condition is satisfied by the distance functions of certain fractal sets. Finally, we construct an isotropic...

The authors present the central capacity sharing (CCS) model and derive equations describing its behaviors to explain results from dual-task situations. The predictions of the CCS model are contrasted with those of the central bottleneck model. The CCS model predicts all of the hallmark effects of the psychological refractory period (PRP) pardigm: -1 slope of the PRP effect at short stimulus on...

Stimuli that are clearly positive or negative (hence valence-laden stimuli) have the potential to interrupt unrelated task processing. A typical example is the emotional Stroop effect (ESE) in which responding to a certain task feature (e.g., color) is delayed by the presentation of task-irrelevant valent stimuli (e.g., negative pictures) compared to valence-neutral stimuli. Here we scrutinize ...

nowadays, designing hydraulic structures for flood damage mitigation has a significant importance in water engineering. one of the necessary parameters for the design of flood control measures is the probable maximum 24-hour precipitation in a 1000-year return period. this research was done using jiroft halilrud watershed data to evaluate hershfild methods. firstly, the maximum annual precipita...

housing market in iran got out of recession in year 1384 and turn into abnormal growth. but following the housing price growth, which continued until 1386, it deals with the slowdown of the housing market and stable prices in the spring of 1387. afterward, decreasing trend in housing prices continued in the summer, in spite of increase in global housing prices. in this paper, it is investigated...

Return on investment is a driving force that motivates and is a reward for investors. Investment returns are important for investors, in order for the entire investment game to be realized. Evaluating efficiency is the only logical way (Before risk assessment) that investors can do to compare alternative and different investments. Measuring real returns (relative to the past) is needed to bette...

Today’s low mortgage interest rates make direct real estate investments attractive to individual investors. However, low rates may result in an investor paying too much for the property. Sensitivity analysis conducted on a set of projected financial statements for a direct real estate investment shows the potential impact of changing rates on holding period return. Higher subsequent loan rates ...
