In June 2007 there were 210 people under 50 years of age living in residential aged care in Victoria, Australia, most of whom had acquired brain injuries. There are an average of 21 deaths per year in this group yet very little is known about the causes of such deaths. While the Coroners Act 2008 (Vic) requires mandatory reporting of "unexpected" and "accidental" deaths, anecdotal evidence and ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the discrete factors of gentrification modeled by cellular Automata. The gentrification is the arriving of middle and high social classes in the inner-city areas. It corresponds to the residential mobility of solvent households, attracted by residential comfort and the central retailing equipment. The proximity, diversity and quality of this equipment bec...

In this article, I describe a renormalization group approach for complex networks, as applied by Rozenfeld et.al. in 1. A large number of naturally occuring networks are scale-free, i.e. display a powerlaw degree distribution 2. Moreover, many of these networks display both the small world property, and fractal characteristics. The RG approach demonstrates a transition between fractal and small...

Due to data and methodology constraints, there is a lack of good quality-controlled residential price indices publicly available in China. New home sales account for quite a large share of total home sales in Chinese cities (87% in 2010). As a result, the standard repeat sales approach cannot be employed, as a new housing units only appears once on the market. The hedonic method may be more sui...

The understanding of random magnetic systems known as spin glass has been one of the major challenges in condensed matter physics over that past two decades. Study of this state can be thought of as a rst step towards understanding more complex and disordered systems.This paper reviews some of the theoretical developmets in this eld and tries to answer the question how well are these systems un...

Making realistic predictions about the occurrence of crime is a challenging research area. City-wide crime patterns depend on the behaviour and interactions of a huge number of people (including victims, offenders, and passers-by) as well as a multitude of environmental factors. Modern criminology theory has highlighted the individual-level nature of crime—whereby overall crime rates emerge fro...

Abstract Smart building concepts are a relevant topic for the Ukrainian sector. Although current policy is mostly dedicated to improvement of energy-saving situation in stock, concept discussed could provide valuable inputs realization existing strategy. For an assessment expected positive impact implementation smart indicators on operation and renovation processes, as well predictions scenario...
