providing efficient programme to promote urban landscape is considered as one of the most significant element of development in developed cities. the significance will become more considerable in edges of megacities where a lot of environmental, social, and economic issues are evident. this article is trying to deal with the importance of landscape control in relation with a neighborhood by sug...

Like wavelet decompositions, power spectra "tiled with direct space maps" are versions of a lattice image intermediate between direct and reciprocal space [1]. They generally take about the same time to calculate as a power spectrum, and contain useful information of all sorts about "where periodicities lie". Questions of this sort will be of increasing importance e.g. in subångstrom resolution...

Idealized edged and non-edged indenters, mimicking canine teeth, were used to puncture thin materials and thick materials. Less force was needed for the edged (triangular in cross section) indenter to penetrate thin Mylar, paper, leather, beetle elytra and turkey skin than the non-edged (circular in cross-section) indenter. Oak, grass and magnolia leaves responded equally to both indenters. In ...

By applying the nonequilibrium Green's functions and the density-functional theory, we investigate the electronic structures and transport properties of fluorinated zigzag-edged boron nitride nanoribbons. The results show that the transition between half-metal and semiconductor in zigzag-edged boron nitride nanoribbons can be realized by fluorination at different sites or by the change of the f...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE We investigated the yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) capsulotomy rates in various intraocular lenses (IOLs). STUDY DESIGN/PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 23,440 eyes implanted with either MA60BM, MA60AC, VA-60BB, CeeOnEdge, Clariflex, Technis Z9002, SI-40NB, or UV26T IOLs. We calculated the YAG capsulotomy rates at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years post lens implant...

C banks in Tenth District states had another good year in 1998. They continued to benefit from solid growth in the district economy. And in contrast to some large banks in other parts of the country, they were largely unaffected by the turmoil in financial markets in the latter part of the year. To be sure, average profitability would have edged down in 1998 were it not for the decision by a su...
