Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and let $fa$, $fb$ be two ideals of $R$ such that $R/({fa+fb})$ is Artinian. Let $M$, $N$ be two finitely generated $R$-modules. We prove that $H_{fb}^j(H_{fa}^t(M,N))$ is Artinian for $j=0,1$, where $t=inf{iin{mathbb{N}_0}: H_{fa}^i(M,N)$ is not finitelygenerated $}$. Also, we prove that if $DimSupp(H_{fa}^i(M,N))leq 2$, then $H_{fb}^1(H_{fa}^i(M,N))$ i...

Every day a significant percentage of drivers in single-occupancy vehicles search for a parking space. Additionally, less experienced drivers or out-of-towners further contribute to the increase of traffic congestion. The type of the planned activity, time of a day, day of the week, current congestion of particular routes, knowledge of city streets, and potentially available parking places have...

This paper explores the significance of dirt in the work of technicians who service and repair private cars. Rather than being useful in understanding how dirt is dealt with, the historical and anthropological analyses of dirt are shown to be overly concerned with cultural significance and the idea that dirt is no more than ‘matter out of place’. Such accounts suppress the more common sense app...

We utilise collaborative path-finding to improve efficiency of smart parking systems and therefore reduce traffic congestion in metropolitan environments, while increasing efficiency and profitability of parking garages. A significant portion of traffic in urban areas is accounted for by drivers searching for an available parking space. Many cities have adopted a parking guidance and informatio...

In recent times smart devices have attracted a large number of users. Since many of these devices allow position estimation using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals, a large number of location-based applications and services have emerged, especially in transport systems. However GNSS signals are affected by the environment and are not always present, especially in dense urban en...

The brown widow spider, Latrodectus geometricus C. L. Koch, has become newly established in southern California during the first decade of the 21st century. Brown widows and egg sacs were collected within the urban Los Angeles Basin using timed searches. We also collected and compared the abundance and distribution of the native western black widow spider, Latrodectus hesperus Chamberlin & Ivie...

This paper reports on the North American state-of-the-art in the use of FRP composites in concrete structures. FRP bars have been used as the internal reinforcement in concrete members to replace conventional steel rebars for a host of reasons. The principles for design and construction have been established and proposed to industry by the American Concrete Institute (ACI). The fundamental prin...

On June 17, 1972 five men broke into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate, an office-apartment-hotel complex on the banks of the Potomac in Washington, DC. Investigating the botched burglary, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, reporters for the Washington Post, uncovered a trail of illegal “dirty tricks” designed to bring down the President’s political rivals—a t...

introduction: although patients do not experience sever pain after laparoscopic surgery, most of them experience acute or chronic pain afterward. while conventional pain killers including nsaid and narcotics in laparoscopic surgery have specific side effects, their application is inevitable. this study compares the efficacy of local anesthetic drugs and conventional pain killers in post-operati...

This paper denes and investigates the ergodic proper-ties of the entropy of a countable partition of a fuzzy dynamical sys-tem at different points of the state space. It ultimately introducesthe local fuzzy entropy of a fuzzy dynamical system and proves itto be an isomorphism invariant.
