This article is about the institutional collaboration in the management structure of a city-region. To achieve this purpose, corporate limits of Qazvin are studied as the city is becoming a region.  The possible institutional cooperative in the centralist governmental structure is planned based on the new regionalism theory and its governance pattern, new institutionalism theory and its emphas...

Algorithmic skeletons in conjunction with list homomorphisms play an important role in formal development of parallel algorithms. We have designed a notion of homomorphism dedicated to bulk synchronous parallelism. In this paper we derive two application using this theory: sparse matrix vector multiplication and the all nearest smaller values problem. We implement a support for BSP homomorphism...

Land use of sewage sludge is the primary disposal method in Shanxi, accounting for 42.66% of all. To determine the ecological risk of heavy metals in sewage sludge, contents of seven heavy metals in sewage sludge from 9 municipal waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) that had the highest application for land use were determined. The order of the measured concentrations was: Zn > Cr > Cu > Ni > P...
