In this respect, agreement on political border and boundaries with the Caspian Sea?s ecosystem is a difficul...

It is widely known that one of the biggest challenges for Africa’s development today its infrastructure development. estimated there are $2.5 trillion in active projects which should be completed by 2025. Even if not all will completed, it shows importance continent. This includes, vast majority, improvement road network. At same time, asphalt degradation (and cracking) a worldwide problem caus...

Highly entangled multipartite states such as $k$-uniform ($k$-UNI) and absolutely maximally (AME) serve critical resources in quantum networking other information applications. However, there does not yet exist a complete classification of states, much remains unknown about their entanglement structure. Here we substantially broaden the class known $k$-UNI AME by introducing method for explicit...

A distributed model predictive control (DMPC) framework is proposed. The physical plant structure and the plant mathematical model are used to partition the control duties over self-sufficient estimation and control nodes. Linear models and local measurements at the nodes are used to estimate the relevant plant states. This information is then used in the model predictive control calculations. ...

Roads are the ultimate manifestation of urbanization, providing essential connectivity within and between rural and heavily populated areas. Roads permeate national forests and other established wilderness areas; consequently, no areas in the U.S. are protected from this expanding infrastructure. The ecological impacts roads have on herpetofauna across temporal and spatial scales are profound, ...

District or City Regional Regulations concerning Spatial Planning finally oblige disaster mitigation by constructing evacuation roads. The attraction Evacuation Road (TES) which was built with a relatively wide size city, makes road favourite route for ...
