The only way for dengue to spread in the human population is through the human-mosquito-human cycle. Most research in this field discusses the dengue-mosquito or dengue-human relationships over a particular study area, but few have explored the local spatial variations of dengue-mosquito and dengue-human relationships within a study area. This study examined whether spatial heterogeneity exists...

Dengue fever (DF) is a common and rapidly spreading vector-borne viral disease in tropical and subtropical regions. In recent years, this imported disease has posed an increasing threat to public health in China, especially in many southern cities. Although the severity of DF outbreaks in these cities is generally associated with known risk factors at various administrative levels, spatial hete...

Amide proton transfer (APT) imaging is a noninvasive molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique based on the chemical exchange-dependent saturation transfer mechanism. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of APT MRI in detecting intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) at hyperacute, acute and subacute stages by comparing with susceptibility weighted imaging (S...

Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) is a local modelling technique to estimate regression models with spatially varying relationships. Generally, the Euclidean distance is the default metric for calibrating a GWR model in previous research and applications; however, it may not always be the most reasonable choice due to a partition by some natural or man-made features. Thus, we attempt to ...

Epidemiological studies around the world have reported that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is closely associated with human health. The distribution of PM2.5 concentrations is influenced by multiple geographic and socioeconomic factors. Using a remote-sensing-derived PM2.5 dataset, this paper explores the relationship between PM2.5 concentrations and meteorological parameters and their spatial...

let $omega_x$ be a bounded, circular and strictly convex domain of a banach space $x$ and $mathcal{h}(omega_x)$ denote the space of all holomorphic functions defined on $omega_x$. the growth space $mathcal{a}^omega(omega_x)$ is the space of all $finmathcal{h}(omega_x)$ for which $$|f(x)|leqslant c omega(r_{omega_x}(x)),quad xin omega_x,$$ for some constant $c>0$, whenever $r_{omega_x}$ is the m...

let and be a sequence with non-negative entries. if , denote by the infimum of those satisfying the following inequality: whenever . the purpose of this paper is to give an upper bound for the norm of operator t on weighted sequence spaces d(w,p) and lp(w) and also e(w,?). we considered this problem for certain matrix operators such as norlund, weighted mean, ceasaro and copson matrices. th...

‎A new method for the defuzzification of fuzzy numbers is developed in this paper. It is well-known, defuzzification methods allow us to find aggregative crisp numbers or crisp set for fuzzy numbers. But different fuzzy numbers are often converted into one crisp number. In this case the loss of essential information is possible. It may result in inadequate final conclusions, for example, expert...

The purpose of this study was to identify strategies for Agricultural Entrepreneurs Empowerment in Javanrod, Salasebabajani, Ravansar and Paveh counties of Kermanshah Province. The structural impact obtained was based on different qualitative techniques and was analysed based on the SWOT model. The finding suggested that the most effective strengths were: adoption of social responsibilities inc...
