Offensive urban combat is one of the most difficult tasks soldiers are called upon to perform (USMC 1998). Urban combat is characterized by building-to-building and room-to-room fighting, and even a vastly outnumbered defensive force can inflict significant casualties on attacking forces. Effective, frequent training is an essential element in reducing casualties in urban combat. However, train...

As for any categorial scheme used for annotation, UD abound with borderline cases. The main instruments to resolve them are the UD design principles and, of course, the linguistic facts of the matter. UD makes a fundamental distinction between content words and function words, and a, perhaps less fundamental, distinction between pure function words and the rest. It has been suggested that adpos...

The urban ecosystem is a complex system hat are compounded of environment –economic-social ,the factors of urban ecosystem affect the decision of the floating population to chose city .In this paper ,we according to the urban ecosystem to design the questionnaire ,and study the weights of the factors that influence the decision by AHP ,and find that economy is most important which is 0.6806, th...

This paper argues that a hybrid role for urban planners has emerged within the largely neoliberalised spaces of contemporary Australian governance. This new role is one that transcends previously rigid or clearly defined sectoral positions to blend public, private and community responsibilities in novel and complex ways. The first section of the paper briefly sketches the historical shifts that...

The paper documents the procedure of building a new Universal Dependencies (UDv2) treebank for Serbian starting from an existing Croatian UDv1 treebank and taking into account the other Slavic UD annotation guidelines. We describe the automatic and manual annotation procedures, discuss the annotation of Slavicspecific categories (case governing quantifiers, reflexive pronouns, question particle...

background and aims: this study aimed to evaluate the effect of enforcement of new traffic laws on the fatal and non- fatal injury rates in iran. methods: in a longitudinal, interventional controlled trial study, all subjects with history of fatal and non-fatal injuries were studied. their injuries were caused by six risky violations (unauthorized speed, illegal overtaking, red traffic light cr...

over half of the world’s population lives in cities and united nations (un) demographers project an increase of 2.5 billion more urban dwellers by 2050. yet there is too little systematic comparative research on the practice of urban health policy and management (hpam), particularly in the megacities of middle-income and developing nations. we make a case for creating a global database on citie...

In this study we propose a new method to simulate hyperrealistic urban patterns using Generative Adversarial Networks trained with a global urban land-use inventory. We generated a synthetic urban “universe” that qualitatively reproduces the complex spatial organization observed in global urban patterns, while being able to quantitatively recover certain key high-level urban spatial metrics.

Permeable pavements are a type of sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) technique that are used around the world to infiltrate and treat urban stormwater runoff and to minimize runoff volumes. Urban stormwater runoff contains significant concentrations of suspended sediments that can cause clogging and reduce the infiltration capacity and effectiveness of permeable pavements. It is important...

A common way of dealing with large urban transport infrastructures is by using Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) systems [1][2]. The UK Department for Transport led Urban Traffic Management and Control initiative recognizes the following common UTMC components: strategic network management, comprehensive performance monitoring, traveller information, congestion monitoring, streamlined...
