degradation model was introduced as an instrument of environmental impact assessment (eia) in iran. several methods are introduced in rapid environmental assessment, but none of them have evaluated landscape level. thus, the main objective of this research is to introduce a new spatial method for eia by using landscape metrics. a benefit of rapid assessment by using ecological landscape metrics...

This article analyses the organisation of cancer control in Argentina, with a special focus on the initiatives, institutions, and models that targeted female or gynaecological cancers. It identifies and examines the main factors in the process of elaborating a national policy to control the disease drawing on a series of actors and instruments such as the state, medical professionals, instituti...

The generation of detailed virtual environments is an increasingly resource-consuming task for videogame developers. This has encouraged the investigation of procedural techniques for creating content from landscapes to textures to—much more recently—cities and their constituent road-scapes. This paper introduces the Iterated Subdivision algorithm, a straightforward, flexible, and easily custom...

Field studies current state river basins were carried out, rivers selected principle different geographical location levels anthropogenic impact. Analytical laboratory salt composition methods mathematical analysis us...

The road coloring problem is an interesing problem proposed over 40 years ago by Adler, Goodwyn and Weiss. Hundreds of mathematicians worked on this problem and failed to make the conjecture a theorem. Finally, in 2007, it was proved by a 60-year-old Israeli mathematician, Avraham Trahtman. It turns out the prove was quite simple after Trahtman partitioned the graph into cycles and trees. The d...
