The article discusses the problem of place affecting urban identity formation. granite-lined embankment Tura River becomes a factor in reassembling and forming new sensuousness for residents Tyumen. Tyumen has long oscillated between provinciality “village capital” nomadism “hub city”, serving as transit point to service oil gas industry. Nowadays, city perceive not only sign Tyumen’s integrati...

We present a real-time approach for circular and polygonal road signs detection in still images, regardless of their pose and orientation. Object detection is performed using a Hough like transform based on accumulation on pairs of points with their gradients. Circular and polygonal (non triangular) traffic signs are detected by the so-called Bilateral Chinese Transform BCT. Triangular traffic ...

Accompanied by the continuous transformation of the industrial structure, massive rural labor in China has begun their migration to nonagricultural industries. This huge transfer of rural labor has shown a positive pushing influence on the transformation of China’s industrial structure, creating a timely opportunity to the development of agriculture and the structural transformation of the rura...

Invasive non-native earthworms in forested areas of the northeastern United States are of concern since they have the potential to greatly change the nutrient dynamics of these ecosystems. Urban landscapes are particularly susceptible to non-native species invasions. In this study, we assessed earthworm communities and nitrogen transformations rates in urban and rural forest patches of the Grea...

Due to the inherent discrete nature of sensing, interpolation is a key activity in sensing. Interpolation in urban computing faces an unprecedented inference issue that was not present in large scale traditional sensing environments. Obstacles such as buildings and walls are prevalent in urban sensing, and it is important to consider them in urban sensing interpolation. This paper introduces an...
