contemporary cities from many aspects have challenges with the phenomenon of injustice and in different areas suffer from the distribution of benefits, housing, and access to services. meanwhile, the spatial justice and related studies have raised in response to these issues as an emerging and interdisciplinary field. hence, justice has become a principal goal of urban planning in its instituti...

Temporal changes in magnitude of effect sizes reported in many areas of research are a threat to the credibility of the results and conclusions of meta-analysis. Numerous sequential methods for meta-analysis have been proposed to detect changes and monitor trends in effect sizes so that meta-analysis can be updated when necessary and interpreted based on the time it was conducted. The difficult...

ment, whose objective is to empower domain experts themselves to specialize AM-PHION to an application domain. It is meant to be the automatic programming analogue of application generator generator technology. META-AMPHION will include an extension of the current user interface to guide domain experts in creating and extending a domain theory (in fact, the current user interface is already sui...

Personalizing a speech synthesis system is highly desired application, where the can generate with user’s voice rare enrolled recordings. There are two main approaches to build such in recent works: speaker adaptation and encoding. On one hand, methods fine-tune trained multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) model few samples. However, they require at least thousands of fine-tuning steps for high-q...

BACKGROUND Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is usually based on trials where patients are randomized individually into two different, parallel, treatment groups. This paper concentrates on RCTs of a different design-two-period, two-treatment cross-over trials. METHODS The characteristics of these trials are outlined, with detailed examples of methods for analysis for both ...

This paper explores how meta-studies can support the development of process-based land change models (LCMs) that can be applied across locations and scales. We describe a multi-step framework for model development and provide descriptions and examples of how meta-studies can be used in each step. We conclude that meta-studies best support the conceptualization and experimentation phases of the ...

It is an exciting time to be an ecologist. Over the past several decades, our discipline has matured from one focused on the assembly of case studies based on natural history, to one that has seen improved conceptual frameworks and mathematical models that help explain ecological phenomena from species coexistence to elemental cycling. The maturation of our discipline has been fostered by many ...

The do-calculus was developed in 1995 to facilitate theidentification of causal effects in non-parametric mod-els. The completeness proofs of [Huang and Valtorta,2006] and [Shpitser and Pearl, 2006] and the graphi-cal criteria of [Tian and Shpitser, 2010] have laid thisidentification problem to rest. Recent explorations un-veil the usefulness of the do-calculus in three ...
