Heterogeneity of perceptions is a neglected issue in market segmen-tation studies. Only recently parametric approaches toward modeling segmented perception-preference structures such as combined MDS and Latent Class procedures have been introduced. A completely diierent nonparametric method is based on topology-sensitive vector quantization (VQ) for consumers-by-brands-by-attributes data. It ma...

This study compared the Municipal Essential Medicines Lists (REMUME) and examined adherence by prescribers and availability of essential medicines in the health units affiliated with the Unified National Health System (SUS). Data were collected on lists and medicines prescribed to 2,411 patients enrolled consecutively in primary or secondary care services in Brazilian municipalities. Of 5,222 p...

This paper studies the spatial characteristics of sky gardens as public spaces to explore their potential support urban sustainability in dense cities. research understands that are open and available different levels access use. The focuses on 982 Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Singapore. It adopts a mixed methodology, including site visits observations, statistic measurements (based SPSS software), Gre...

We study a system of replicable (identical) cities with un-priced traffic congestion where each city requires a minimum investment in infrastructure setup costs. We consider alternative planning regimes (or, equivalently, market with profit-maximizing developers), differing from each other according to the public policy for financing the infrastructure. These policies play two roles: 1) providi...

BACKGROUND While research continues into indicators such as preventable and amenable mortality in order to evaluate quality, access, and equity in the healthcare, it is also necessary to continue identifying the areas of greatest risk owing to these causes of death in urban areas of large cities, where a large part of the population is concentrated, in order to carry out specific actions and re...

Urban data ranging from images and laser scans to traffic flows are regularly analyzed and modeled leading to better scene understanding. Commonly used computational approaches focus on geometric descriptors, both for images and for laser scans. In contrast, in urban planning, a large body of work has qualitatively evaluated street networks to understand their effects on the functionality of ci...

While primary health care (PHC)-based prevention and Background management of heavy drinking is clinically effective and cost-effective, it remains poorly implemented in routine practice. Systematic reviews and multi-country studies have demonstrated the ability of training and support programmes to increase PHC-based screening and brief advice activity to reduce heavy drinking. However, gains ...

The ozone level prediction is an important task of air quality agencies of modern cities. In this paper, we design an ozone level alarm system (OLP) for Isfahan city and test it through the real word data from 1/1/2000 to 7/6/2011. We propose a computer based system with three inputs and single output. The inputs include three sensors of solar ultraviolet (UV), total solar radiation (TSR) and t...

This research examines the relationships between urban productivity and affordable rental housing, focusing particularly on location availability of housing relative to employment labour markets in capital cities satellite cities. Lower income (Q2) workers who play critical roles economies are more likely experience stress (exceeding 30% their costs) these markets.
