spatial and stable view is the main and inevitable principle of city physical development progmming. along this approach, and because of social, economic and natural requirements, we studied the physical development of eghlid city.the development of eghlid city is limited because of being located in a closed mountainous location. indeed, negative and destructive consequences follow improper pro...

The beta-number, β (G), of a graph G is defined to be either the smallest positive integer n for which there exists an injective function f : V (G) → {0, 1, . . . , n} such that each uv ∈ E (G) is labeled |f (u)− f (v)| and the resulting set of edge labels is {c, c+ 1, . . . , c+ |E (G)| − 1} for some positive integer c, or +∞ if there exists no such integer n. If c = 1, the resulting beta-numb...

in a control structures, it is often preferred to minimize the gate width while utilizing the canal width in full for a stilling basin. therefore, to reach this, a gradually diverging stilling basin may be used. in this study, the effect of broad-crested sill on the expanding hydraulic jump in a rectangular channel was investigated. a total number of 79 tests were carried out for the range of i...

This research paper explores the relationship between “student-to-other” closeness within a large-scale introductory engineering class and student performance as measured by final grade. Aron and Aron have developed the theory of self-expansion through their work on “including other in the self” (IOS) and have shown that self-expansion can have many benefits including sharing of resources and g...

UNLABELLED In this paper, we highlight the need for acknowledging the importance and impact of both physical and emotional closeness between the preterm infant and parent in the neonatal intensive care unit. Physical closeness refers to being spatially close and emotional closeness to parental feelings of being emotionally connected to the infant (experiencing feelings of love, warmth and affec...

The availability of advanced social interaction sensing technologies provides fine grained data for social network analysis. Although traditional methods of gathering social network data may be subject to human ability to recall social details, people’s rating of their closeness to persons in their network is important. This study assesses the relationship amidst closeness ratings, sensed inter...

Closeness centrality is an important concept in social network analysis. In a graph representing a social network, closeness centrality measures how close a vertex is to all other vertices in the graph. In this paper, we combine existing methods on calculating exact values and approximate values of closeness centrality and present new algorithms to rank the top-k vertices with the highest close...

In this study, experimental procedure and laboratory works have been conducted to investigate the energy loss rate on stepped spillway, using inclined steps together with end sill. To have a more elucidated investigation inclined steps with different slopes (Horizontal , 7, 10, and 12 degrees with respect to the horizon) and end sill with different thicknesses (5 and 10 mm) and heights (6, 8, 1...
