Airflow at the beach creates sand deposition patterns around buildings. To assess how initial depend on orientation of a building relative to wind direction and spacing between buildings, series one-day field experiments was conducted with cuboid scale models, in which 34 configurations were tested. Scale models placed further apart than 2 3 times width created that similar those for stand-alon...

Automated building detection has been an active topic in photogrammetry and computer vision. One of the challenges is to effectively separate buildings from trees using aerial imagery and Lidar data. In cases where an adopted building detection technique cannot distinguish between these two classes of objects, the presence of trees in the scene can increase the rates of both false positives and...

An integrated damage detection system, which was developed to detect the collapsed buildings due to Kocaeli earthquake, occurred on 17 August 1999, is introduced. The implementation of the system was carried out in a selected area of the city of Golcuk, TURKEY. The developed system is composed of three components: (i) input, (ii) analysis and (iii) output. In the input component, the post-event...

We describe a patient with right hemisphere damage affected by mild left visuo-spatial neglect and constructional apraxia. During the rehabilitation, he failed to draw a draught-board using horizontal and vertical trajectories, but he performed it successfully using oblique trajectories. These observations suggested an impairment of vertical/horizontal spatial coordinates system. In copying tas...

aim: considering the fundamental role of parents' function and family dynamics including the importance role of family communication pattern on preventing early-onset substance use in children, the present study aimed to determine the correlation between family communication pattern and mothers' preventive behavioral intention regarding preventing early-onset substance use in children...
