OBJECTIVES To assess the relative accuracy and usefulness of web tools in evaluating and measuring street-scale built environment characteristics. METHODS A well-known audit tool was used to evaluate 84 street segments at the urban edge of metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts, using on-site visits and three web-based tools. The assessments were compared to evaluate their relative accuracy and u...

Various themed streets have recently been developed by local governments in order to stimulate local economies and to establish the identity of the corresponding places. However, the motivations behind the development of some of these themed street projects has been based on profit, without full considerations of people’s perceptions of their local areas, resulting in marginal effects on the lo...

Introduction Drug case criminal prosecution relies upon laws specifying what is and what is not legal. Underground chemists try to avoid prosecution by modifying illegal materials to produce synthetic “designer drugs” which may slip through legal loopholes. Recent designer drug targets include cathinones and cannabinoids. Cathinones and related drugs are found on the street labeled as “Bath Sal...

the street garment vendors are playing a significant role in the fields of the economic development through protecting resources (garment products) from such a position where they are treated as wastes; very much less valued products and creating the opportunity for self-employment. this study aimed at showing the economic contribution and the impact of the street vendors to the local community...

We have benchmarked the maximum obtainable recognition accuracy on various word image datasets using manual segmentation and a currently available commercial OCR. We have developed a Matlab program, with graphical user interface, for semi-automated pixel level segmentation of word images. We discuss the advantages of pixel level annotation. We have covered five databases adding up to over 3600 ...

Most commercial vehicle-routing decision support systems employ network optimization methods for calculating inter-stop distances over digital street data. Although potentially more accurate, these optimization methods are computationally intensive, increase overall problem complexity and require more sophisticated and expensive GIS systems to support the functions. Alternative approaches for c...
