Urban tree canopy (UTC) in parks is shaped by complex interactions between social and ecological processes over decades. To understand UTC change parks, it critical to identify characterize the unique set of that drive long-term change. We sought uncover feedbacks changes a post-industrial city experienced substantial population loss park disinvestment. Our mixed-methods approach involved quant...

The objective of this research is to support sustainable architecture where renewable materials (such as plant-based and soil) are used for construction. use earthen building techniques in structural design represent important construction practices mitigate the associated carbon footprint. In study we propose systems that will be constructed using such bamboo, probably most well-known material...

Quasi-2D Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites (RPPs) are candidates for constructing perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with superior stability due to their tolerance the external environment. Fully understanding film growth mechanism and structure is crucial further improve performance of 2D-PSCs while maintaining device stability. In this work, origin Brownian tree-shaped dendrites formed in hot-cast met...

including the one proposed in [5]. Minieka showed that all the eight problems can be solved in polynomial time except the one of finding the maximum distancesum tree of a specified length, which was proved to be NP-hard later in [8]. Recently, in [6,7], Peng and Lo have proposed efficient parallel algorithms on the EREW PRAM for optimally locating in a tree network a path and a tree of a specif...

Cladograms are dendrograms (tree-shaped diagrams) of proteins that are easily constructed by automated tools using phylogenetic techniques such as the tool ClustalW. Cladograms correspond to evolutionary relationships, but they are not easily projected onto actual consensus taxonomies. This paper describes T-Tree, an original application that maps bioinformatic-tool generated phylogenetic clado...

This paper presents an algorithm for solving a multi-floor facility layout problem. The most apparent difference and also the potential difficulty in a multi-floor facility layout problem, compared to a single floor facility layout problem, are the problems regarding the placement of the vertical transportation equipments (elevators), which are to be used for vertical transportation occuring wi...

Reconstructing the phylogeny of a gene family and reconciling the obtained gene tree with the species tree reveals the history of duplications, losses and other events that have shaped the gene family, with important implications towards the functional specificity of genes. However, evolutionary histories inferred by reconciliation are strongly dependent upon the accuracy of the trees, and few ...

Most synaptic inputs are made onto the dendritic tree. Recent work has shown that dendrites play an active role in transforming synaptic input into neuronal output and in defining the relationships between active synapses. In this review, we discuss how these dendritic properties influence the rules governing the induction of synaptic plasticity. We argue that the location of synapses in the de...
