This paper analyzes urban growth boundary delimitation in the urban master plan in Shaanxi Province and chooses Baoji, Weinan and Ankang as the research object. The three cities have delimited urban growth boundaries. This paper compares interrelationships between urban spatial structure, urban size, delimitation of the four areas, boundaries of planning area, natural boundaries, artificial bou...

PanLex is a lemmatic translation resource which combines a large number of translation dictionaries and other translingual lexical resources. It currently covers 1353 language varieties and 12M expressions, but aims to cover all languages and up to 350M expressions. This paper describes the resource and current applications of it, as well as lextract, a new effort to expand the coverage of PanL...

The paper discusses recent developments in BulTreeBank (BTB). First of all, these developments include the preparatory steps for transferring richer linguistic knowledge from the original BTB into BTB-UD in order to for the enhanced dependencies to be added in the next release in May 2018. The new line of research also handles the extension of the BTB valency lexicon with subatom-based embeddin...

A system for the automatic segmentation of German words into morphs was developed. The main linguistic knowledge sources used by the system are a word syntax and a morph dictionary. The syntax is written in the formalism of right linear regular grammars and comprises approximately 1,400 rules describing the set of those sequences of morph classes which underlie syntactically well formed words. ...

Computer advances in recent decades have contributed to the emergence of three dimensional (3D) urban simulation, which studies urban environments based on virtual models of physical reality. This article discusses methods of 3D urban simulation for urban planning and design in order to understand their potential, capabilities, limitations and concerns about the validity of simulation outcome. ...

The Universal Dependencies Project1 (Nivre, [9]; Nivre et al., [10]) is an ongoing effort towards creating a set of harmonised dependency treebanks that are annotated and structured according to universal guidelines. This paper reports on the addition of morphological features to the Irish Universal Dependencies Treebank (IUDT). Our feature set subscribes to the feature inventory of the UD Proj...

Urban planning exerts influences on environmental, social and economic system related with the city. Processes of land transformation and city growth determine radical changes in urban landscape morphology and as a consequence they affect air temperature and energy exchange. The urbanization can bear on local climate more intensively than the global warming does. This is due to the rapidity of ...

During a time of budget challenges, the Washington, D.C. government has needed to increase appropriations to the public safety and justice title while reducing appropriations to other municipal services. The need to increase policing costs by $1 million to $469.7 million in fiscal year 2012 diverges from the city’s efforts to improve underserved neighborhoods through urban renewal. Although the...

This paper considers the urban spatial changes in China as rescaling and territorialization processes. Decentralization has led to the emergence of localism in China, in a fashion similar to western cities but with unique features and context of a transitional economy. Acquiring urban status and expanding urban space have become a new strategy for lasting local development, resulting in a massi...

2. Government has undertaken its own urban renewal projects for many years. The Hong Kong Housing Society (HS) started its Urban Improvement Scheme in 1974. In 1988, the Land Development Corporation (LDC) was established to speed up the process of urban renewal. The Housing Authority (HA) has also played an important role in urban renewal, in particular by redevelopment of its own estates and a...
