background: given the increasing importance of suspended particles and reporting weather conditions in the amount of ultraviolet radiation in many countries, in this study, the data of the maximum amounts of pollution by suspended particles with the size of 10, 2.5 and1 microns (pm10, pm2.5, pm1) which were reported in 1-hour time-series and global ultraviolet index (uvi) were used to predict t...

This paper and accompanying map aim on the issue of brain drain (otherwise known as Human Capital Flight) concerning cultural creative industries. The study is focused evaluation Olomouc city, Czechia. In case a mid-sized city such Olomouc, human capital flight largely associated with fields, because it plays significant part economy character city. ‘brain index’ Czech municipalities has been c...

Imagine that you are walking around a city for the first time. You have a street map to help you navigate around this unfamiliar environment. The map you have in front of you is actually a “complicated communication mechanism” (Lobben, 2004). For effective navigation, we would have to efficiently perform a mental transformation from the 2D information contained on paper to a 3D impression in ou...

The task of crowd counting is to automatically estimate the pedestrian number in crowd images. To cope with the scale and perspective changes that commonly exist in crowd images, state-of-the-art approaches employ multi-column CNN architectures to regress density maps of crowd images. Multiple columns have different receptive fields corresponding to pedestrians (heads) of different scales. We i...

O n 29 October 2011, a massive surprise storm hit the northeastern US. Portions of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York were blanketed by more than 25 centimeters of heavy, wet snow, which fell on trees still laden with leaves. Thousands of trees collapsed on power lines, tearing them down and blowing transformers throughout the region. Energy consultants who performed a post-mortem analysi...

In this paper we determine all algebraic transformation groups G, defined over an algebraically closed field k, which operate transitively, but not primitively, on a variety Ω, provided the following conditions are fulfilled. We ask that the (non-effective) action of G on the variety of blocks is sharply 2-transitive, as well as the action on a block ∆ of the normalizer G∆. Also we require shar...

Urban and peri-urban growth is increasing world-wide and Europe is now one of the most urbanized continents in the world. Oslo is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. This creates pressure on its infrastructure, including traffic and environmental urban quality. Additionally, vehicular traffic is a major contributor to CO2 emissions, which impacts climate change. It is recognized that a...

The Human Genome Project has generated extensive map and sequence data for a large number of Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) clones. In order to maximize the efficient use of the data and to minimize the redundant work for the research community, The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) comprehensive BAC resource (cBACr) (http://www.tigr.org/tdb/BacResource/BAC_resourc e_intro. html) was...

Indian cities are experiencing an accelerated pace of growth since independence and are now emerging as centres of domestic and international investments in an era of economic reforms, liberalisation and globalization. This has created opportunities for technologists and planning professionals to guide and develop the process of planned development and management utilizing modern technologies. ...
