Using 1977 data for the City of Akron, this paper examines the spatial relationships between assessed land value and selected variables, including distance from the Central Business District (CBD). A simple correlation analysis demonstrates a very weak inverse relationship between land value and distance. The inverse relationship between commercial land value and distance is only relatively str...

Because of the extensive uses of components, the Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) process is quite different from that of the traditional waterfall approach. CBSE not only requires focus on system specification and development, but also requires additional consideration for overall system context, individual components properties and component acquisition and integration process. The...

The building density of Central Business District (CBD) is usually high. Land for a bus terminal is insufficient. In this situation, passengers in CBD have to walk far to take a bus, or take a long time to wait for a taxi. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an indirect approach: the design of a circle line of shuttle bus as a dynamic bus terminal in CBD. The shuttle bus can deliver peop...

This paper presents a review of Case-Based Design (CBD) and its application to building design in particular. CBD is the application of Case-Based Reasoning to the design process. Design maps well to Case-Based Reasoning since designers use parts of previous design solutions in developing new design solutions. This paper identifies problems of case representation, retrieval, adaptation, present...

All nationwide return indices for direct owned property are based on valuations, which give a discussion of how well market value estimates reflect transaction prices and market movements. Two valuation experiments in relation to the Swedish Property Index give indications about the magnitude of the variation in estimated market values as well as variation in individual discounted cash flow par...

Thin films of Bi2S3 of different thickness have been prepared on glass substrates in various temperatures by Chemical bath deposition. The thickness of the deposited film is measured by employing quartz crystal monitor method. The micro structural parameters such as grain size, dislocation density and strain have been evaluated. The lattice parameter values ‘a’ and ‘c’ have been determined and ...

While it is known that wireless networks experience unauthorised connections, little is known about the nature or frequency of the connections. This study seeks to investigate the unauthorised use of wireless networks, and to dispel the myth that attacks on wireless networks are simply an attempt to obtain Internet access. Three wireless honeypots were deployed to collect data about unauthorise...

Case-Based Design (CBD) applies a knowledge-based process to the knowledge commonly associated with Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) systems { the library of exemplars. This paper investigates the problems in using commercial CBR tools, primarily aimed at classi cation applications, for a more knowledge intensive CBD task, and proposes techniques that overcome some of these di culties. This work resu...

The study of associations between two biomolecules is the key to understanding molecular function and recognition. Molecular function is often thought to be determined by underlying structures. Here, combining a single-molecule study of protein binding with an energy-landscape-inspired microscopic model, we found strong evidence that biomolecular recognition is determined by flexibilities in ad...
