A distribution company plans on improving its overall delivery scheme. However, the first phase in this series of changes involves the task of zoning the company’s Metro Manila clients taking into consideration three factors: (1) contiguity; (2) composition of orders; and (3) frequency of orders. The first consideration, contiguity, is difficult to account for because of lack of available techn...

A previous definition of seismogenic zones is required to do a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for areas of spread and low seismic activity. Traditional zoning methods are based on the available seismic catalog and the geological structures. It is admitted that thermal and resistant parameters of the crust provide better criteria for zoning. Nonetheless, the working out of the rheological...

There is much attention given to emerging technologies like mobile internet because of its increasing popularity. Much research has concentrated on hardware and some have focused on personalisation in terms of content visualisation. The focus of this paper is on mobile content personalisation, seeking to understand the user groups through clustering users based on their profile. This paper focu...

this article studies the effects of weather on road accidents in saqqez - sanandaj road. saqqez- sanandaj road’s length is 187 km and it is one of the main hazardous roads of the area. in this study, the distribution map of road accidents and the probability of accidents were prepared under every climatic condition (i.e., snowy, frozen, rainy, foggy, and sunny). a database of road accidents o...

This study determines dam deformation similarity indexes based on an analysis of deformation zoning features and panel data clustering theory, with comprehensive consideration to the actual deformation law of super-high arch dams and the spatial-temporal features of dam deformation. Measurement methods of these indexes are studied. Based on the established deformation similarity criteria, the p...

Creating large conservation zones in remote areas, with less intense stakeholder overlap and limited environmental information, requires periodic review to ensure zonation mitigates primary threats and fill gaps in representation, while achieving conservation targets. Follow-up reviews can utilise improved methods and data, potentially identifying new planning options yielding a desirable balan...
