This paper evaluates how households consider environmental attributes alongside other housing in their residential location decisions along the coastline Victoria Island, Nigeria. The data were obtained from tenants’ revealed preference surveys where 204 respondents rated 15 identified and most common key factors order by which they influence choices. factor analytical approach was then applied...

The work is devoted to the problem of interpretation fuzzy semantics cognitive descriptions spatial relations in natural language and their visualization a geographic information system (GIS). solution determining location an object based on vague observer considered. task relevant critical situations when there no way report exact coordinates observed object, except by describing its relative ...

TCR V genes show differing expression patterns, termed skewing, in CD4+ and CD8+ subsets of T lymphocytes. To determine which elements of the TCR V regions contribute to these observed TCR V gene skewing patterns, we have performed an in-depth analysis, taking advantage of RT-PCR and DNA sequencing, which was focused on the multi-member TCRBV6 gene family. These studies allowed us to evaluate t...

TCR-mediated recognition of beta-linked self-glycolipids bound to CD1d is poorly understood. Here, we have characterized the TCR repertoire of a CD1d-restricted type II NKT cell subset reactive to sulfatide involved in the regulation of autoimmunity and antitumor immunity. The sulfatide/CD1d-tetramer(+) cells isolated from naïve mice show an oligoclonal TCR repertoire with predominant usage of ...

this article discusses the role of time and location in jurisprudence, its’ impacts on the changes of jurisprudent’s opinions and it’s relation with women’s rights. time and location are two important factors in these processes. that is changes in the society causes changes in decrees, in judgments and as the result evaluation in the people’s understanding of religion. provision of women’s righ...

To identify cracks in a structure, an inverse analysis has been performed using the static and dynamic response of structure. The accuracy is highly dependent on form objective function choice optimization method. Generally, method searching solution by gradient adopted. However, for crack problem interested this study, it known to have drawback that search strongly depends initial value settin...

This paper presents a study on estimation of heat transfer coefficient and thermal diffusivity parameters by use of analytical solutions and experimental data for regular geometries (infinite slab, infinite cylinder and sphere). Analytical solutions have a broad use in experimentally determining these parameters. These solutions, with use of experimental data, might give a greater advantage ove...

This paper presents a multi-objective optimization model for the design of a waste management system consisting of customers, transfer stations, landfills and collection vehicles. The developed model aims to simultaneously minimize the total costs, greenhouse gas emissions and the rates of energy consumption. To tackle the multiple objectives in the problem, we utilize an interactive fuzzy prog...

We present a fully automatic solution to human face detection on still color images and to the closely related problems of face segmentation and location. Our method is based on the use of color and texture for searching skin-like regions in the images. This is accomplished with connected component analysis in adaptatively thresholded images. Multiple candidate regions appear, so determining wh...
