crime is the product of an interaction between the person and the setting. understanding crime has been the focus of researchers in both design and social fields for a few decades. the empirical research within the design field on the issue of crime has mainly focused on site-specific and situational features of a place. in the past decade, a considerable body of design research begun to devote...

so far several methods have been developed for mapping and interpolation of isohyets.one of the recently accepted methods is geographically weighting regression which is suitable for evaluation of spatial heterogeneity of dependent variable by using local regressions. in order to evaluate annually precipitation spatial variation, this study was conducted in gilan province which precipitation is...

An understanding of the complexity of spatial-temporal variations in regional air quality and its respective source contributors is one of the priority research areas due to the adverse effects of air pollution on human health and the environment. In this paper, we integrate air dispersion modeling and Geographic Information System (GIS) based spatial analysis methods to characterize regional a...

The traditional approaches of modeling and estimation of highly skewed deposits have led to incorrect evaluations, creating challenges and risks in resource management. The low concentration of the rare earth element (REE) deposits, on one hand, and their strategic importance, on the other, enhances the necessity of multivariate modeling of these deposits. The wide variations of the grades and ...

this study investigates the effectiveness of the kriging interpolation model and the emission weighted proximity model (ewpm) in assessing relative exposure risk of air pollution using results from the american meteorological society/epa regulatory model (aermod) as benchmarks. we used simulated exposure risk to so2 in the dallas area in texas in this evaluation. results suggest that the relati...

modeling and wrench feasible workspace analysis of a spatial cable suspended robots is presented. a six-cable spatial cable robot is used the same as stewart robots. due to slow motion of the robot we suppose the motion as pseudostatic and kinetostatic modeling is performed. various workspaces are defined and the results of simulation are presented on the basis of various workspaces and applied...

spatial-temporal modeling of air pollutants, ground-level ozone concentrations in particular, has attracted recent attention because by using spatial-temporal modeling, can analyze, interpolate or predict ozone levels at any location. in this paper we consider daily averages of troposphere ozone over tehran city. for eliminating the trend of data, a dynamic linear model is used, then some featu...
