Residential relocation or mobility is a critical component of land use dynamics. Models of land use dynamics need to consider residential relocation or mobility behavior of households to be able to forecast future population demographics land use patterns critical to activity and travel demand forecasting. Unfortunately, very little is known about residential relocation behavior at the disaggre...

This paper presents a design and analyzes the performance of a relocation planner for electric vehicle sharing system, aiming at reducing management cost and enhancing service ratio by avoiding service degradation stemmed from stock imbalance. The proposed planner creates a set of relocation pairs, each of which consists of an overflow station and an underflow station for respective relocation ...

Most file systems overwrite modified file data and metadata in their original locations, while the Log-structured File System (LFS) dynamically relocates them to other locations. We design and implement the Evergreen file system that can select between overwriting or relocation for each block of a file or metadata. Therefore, the Evergreen file system can achieve superior write performance by s...

Typhoon Morakot hit Taiwan in 2009 and caused severe damages. The government employs a compulsory relocation strategy for post-disaster reconstruction. This study analyzes the impact of this strategy on community solidarity. It employs a multiple approach for data collection, including semi-structural interview, secondary data, and documentation. The results indicate that the government’s strat...

To determine whether pituitary concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) or hypothalamic content of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) change before puberty, 40 prepubertal gilts averaging 7 mo of age were slaughtered before or on the second, third or fourth day after relocation and boar exposure. Some gilts responded to relocation and boar exposure as in...

In the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris, chloroplast movement is induced by mechanical stimulation as well as by light stimulation. Directional movement of both types depends on an actin-based motile system. To investigate the physiological relationship between mechanical and light signaling in the regulation of chloroplast movement, we examined the mechanoresponse of chloroplasts whose motility ...

EEcient data combination over wide-area networks is hard as wide-area networks have large variations in available network bandwidth. In this paper, we examine the utility of changing the location of combination operators as a technique to adapt to variations in wide-area network bandwidth. We try to answer the following questions. First, does relocation of operators provide a signiicant perform...

The forensic risk assessment model for child custody relocation cases was described by Austin (2000a, 2000b). It is a research-based, actuarial predictive model designed to assist evaluators in organizing data for the complex relocation case. It is only the first step in the forensic relocation analysis. The model can serve as a heuristic for decision makers who are in a position of trying to r...

Understanding the factors associated with the long-term stress levels of captive animals is important from the view of animal welfare. In this study, we investigated the effects of relocation in addition to individual and environmental factors related to social management on long-term stress level in group-living captive chimpanzees by examining behaviors and hair cortisol (HC). Specifically, w...

sibly occur owing to partial relocation of this phosphatide to apolar sites formerly occupied by the 90 % of major microsomal phospholipid components, which were hydrolysed. Such inhibition should be reversed not only by the phospholipid specifically required by the enzyme in question, but also by others which, re-occupyingapolar sites, wouldreverse relocation of the minor phosphatides. If this...
