Evolution of Zipf's Law for Indian Urban Agglomerations vis-à-vis Chinese Urban Agglomerations

We investigate into the rank-size distributions of urban agglomerations for India between 1981 to 2011. The incidence of a power law tail is prominent. A relevant question persists regarding the evolution of the power tail coefficient. We have developed a methodology to meaningfully track the power law coefficient over time, when a country experience population growth. A relevant dynamic law, G...

Resource Management Tools

Sensor networks perform and are used in many different kinds of fields, but are especially given tasks, which are difficult and almost impossible for a human to do. Besides monitoring the environment and collecting necessary information, sensor networks have to manage and supply themselves with essential resources to perform the tasks that were allocated to the whole network. This paper focuses...

Do high technology agglomerations encourage urban sprawl?

This paper looks at the impact of high technology employment concentrations on urban sprawl. A methodology for translating spatial employment patterns, into place of residence patterns, is presented. On this basis, the consumption of land at the urban fringe due to both residential and nonresidential uses, is estimated. The method is tested empirically using data relating to the two main outer ...
