This paper proposes a new Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) approach, named Q-CBR, that uses a Qualitative Spatial Reasoning theory to model, retrieve and reuse cases by means of spatial relations. Qualitative relations between objects, represented in terms of the EOPRA formalism, are stored as qualitative cases that are applied in the definition of new retrieval and reuse algorithms. The retrieval al...

This article contributes to the knowledge base of neighborhood intervention and research by reviewing the myriad ways the construct neighborhood is operationalized. The interdisciplinary review presents a critical examination of each measurement genre from quantitative to qualitative. The discussion of neighborhood measures includes (a) census and other administrative data, (b) windshield surve...

The author in this paper investigates the analytical stress field in the neighborhood of the intersection of a hole and a free boundary. Utilizing the form of a general 3D solution, which was constructed in a previous paper, he recovers the explicit displacement and stress fields in this neighborhood. Moreover, the analysis shows the complementary solution to be proportional to Q~-2, where c~ i...

Let q ∈ (1, 2); it is known that each x ∈ [0, 1/(q− 1)] has an expansion of the form x = ∑∞ n=1 anq −n with an ∈ {0, 1}. It was shown in [4] that if q < ( √ 5 + 1)/2, then each x ∈ (0, 1/(q − 1)) has a continuum of such expansions; however, if q > (√5 + 1)/2, then there exist infinitely many x having a unique expansion [5]. In the present paper we begin the study of parameters q for which there...

Let q ∈ (1, 2) and x ∈ [0, 1 q−1 ]. We say that a sequence (εi) ∞ i=1 ∈ {0, 1}N is an expansion of x in base q (or a q-expansion) if

The focus of this article is the introduction a new subclass analytic functions involving q-analogue Bessel function and obtained coefficient inequities, growth distortion properties, radii close-to-convexity, starlikeness, as well convex linear combination. Furthermore, we discussed partial sums, convolution, neighborhood properties for defined class.

Inspired by the study of community structure in connection networks, we introduce the graph polynomial Q (G;x, y), the bivariate generating function which counts the number of connected components in induced subgraphs. We give a recursive definition of Q (G; x, y) using vertex deletion, vertex contraction and deletion of a vertex together with its neighborhood and prove a universality property....

We study the effect of finite size population in Galam’s model [Eur. Phys. J. B 25, 403 (2002)] of minority opinion spreading and introduce neighborhood models that account for local spatial effects. For systems of different sizes N , the time to reach consensus is shown to scale as lnN in the original version, while the evolution is much slower in the new neighborhood models. The threshold val...

abstract quality of life is a many-sided and complex concept and includes not only physical aspects of life. measuring and discovering this concept depends on many factors such as cultural, social, economical and even environmental. in this research, the connection between women’s quality of life and their access to public utilities and municipal services, health level and safety level of neigh...
