Neighborhood parks are important as spaces of residential neighborhoods where part of the daily interactions of residents take place. Hence, the study of environmental quality of the behavioral settings in which they are formed can be considered a suitable indicator to measure environmental quality with behavioral patterns. In order to intervene or adopt strategies in the design and planning of...

Following the changes in the paradigm of urban studies in recent years, sustainability has become an increasingly important issue in the neighborhood’s planning and designing. However, this concept has originally been developed for American and European neighborhoods’ planning, it could also be customized for other neighborhoods’. Additionally, in the neighborhood scale, the quality parameter f...

Public hospitals play an important role in the delivery of essential healthcare in Australia as in many countries. The Australian Government has in the recent years implemented national healthcare reform to improve the performance of and access to public hospital services. This reform extends to all public hospitals including remote hospitals. However, there is limited information on how reform...

As an essential part of point cloud processing, autonomous classification is conventionally used in various multifaceted scenes and non-regular distributions. State-of-the-art methods mostly process raw clouds, using a single as the basic unit calculating features by searching local neighbors via k-neighborhood method. Such tend to be computationally inefficient have difficulty obtaining accura...

mixed land use includes various land uses which are adjacent to each other and linked together to accommodate either horizontal or vertical segments adjacent land and within a building to coexistence. recent urban planning theories, emphasizing on several principles that make the mix use development is one of these principles. mixed land use effects on travel demands and urban transportation ef...

Let D be a simple digraph without loops or digons. For any v ∈ V (D), the first out-neighborhood N(v) is the set of all vertices with out-distance 1 from v and the second neighborhood N(v) of v is the set of all vertices with out-distance 2 from v. We show that every simple digraph without loops or digons contains a vertex v such that |N++(v)| ≥ γ|N+(v)|, where γ = 0.657298 . . . is the unique ...
