there are continuous connections between a city and its periphery and the form of these relations varies. collection of these relations makes an influential area forming the various relations between the city and periphery. these relations are not the same and do not have unique concentration and density rather, they hey depend on population, geographic conditions and the role of the city in th...

Understanding the interactions of nanoparticles (NPs) with skin is important from a consumer and occupational health and safety perspective, as well as for the design of effective NP-based transdermal therapeutics. Despite intense efforts to elucidate the conditions that permit NP penetration, there remains a lack of translatable results from animal models to human skin. The objectives of this ...

This paper presents a modified form of the Walker-Anderson (W-A) model for analyzing high velocity penetration of an eroding projectile into a concrete target in which the W-A model is improved by incorporating calculations for the plastic flow field of concrete in terms of its compressibility and strain rate sensitivity under severe pressure. With the changes to and calculations of plastic fie...

It has been proposed that disgust evolved to protect humans from contamination. Through eliciting the overwhelming urge to withdraw from the disgusting stimuli, it would facilitate avoidance of contact with pathogens. The physical proximity implied in sexual intercourse provides ample opportunity for contamination and may thus set the stage for eliciting pathogen disgust. Building on this, it h...

the aim of this study includes investigation into the impact of education based on gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (mi) on educational achievement of high school students (grade ii) in mathematics from garmsar city. the current study is of applied type in terms of nature since research is seeking for testing of some theoretical concepts in real and live situations. whereas the presen...

We studied fluconazole penetration in the brain in five patients who had a deep cerebral tumor whose removal required the excision of healthy brain tissue. Plasma and brain samples were simultaneously obtained after oral ingestion of 400 mg of fluconazole daily for 4 days (90% of steady state). Fluconazole penetration in healthy cerebral parenchyma was determined. Plasma and brain samples were ...

Many U.S. metro cities’ municipal wireless projects have been delayed or canceled. Cost forecasting, market penetration rates, and changing technologies are factors that contribute launch failure. Although larger cities have tried, smaller towns are more successful due to the lack of commercial competition. This paper takes the issues of price, cost, and market share of WiFi municipal wireless ...

This paper describes a planned program of investigation designed to determine what characteristics are signficant in predicting performance of students used as subjects in IT system penetration testing testbeds. In large part the experimental design replicates an earlier study by Jonsson et al., and extends that study to include factors describing the attacking subjects. In this way the propose...

Cooperative ITS is enabling vehicles to communicate with the infrastructure to provide improvements in traffic control. A promising approach consists in anticipating the road profile and the upcoming dynamic events like traffic lights. This topic has been addressed in the French public project Co-Drive through functions developed by Valeo named Green Light Optimal Speed Advisor (GLOSA). The sys...
