Mega-sports events have a profound impact on promoting the urbanization process, optimizing urban spatial structure, and improving competitiveness of host city. Taking 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 (AGH) as an example, we used remote sensing data scenario-based model to simulate land-use changes developments from 2005 2025. By setting two scenarios, natural development AGH-driven development, ...

     Turkeh Dareh pluton is outcrop in NW of Iran and it is one of the intrusions in Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. Shaped crystals of this pluton distinct oscillatory zoning narrow and close together zoning in zircons indicate parental magma richness of zirconium. Factors affecting the shape of the zircon crystals are the composition, possibly the temperature of the crystallization, water content in ma...

The distributed project scheduling problem is a distributed resource allocation problem extended with temporal constraints. Herein a project consists of a series of activities, the scarce resources are assigned to those activities at certain time windows such that all the activities are performed and certain objectives are optimized. In the past, methods from Operations Research (OR) and Artifi...

The quantification of glucose by using a multi-channel dissolved oxygen (DO) meter (DOX96) with immobilized glucose oxidase (GOD) and mutarotase (MUT) was performed. An evaluation of the inhibitory activities for alpha-glucosidase (AGH) by modifying our batch-type pseudo-in vivo assay system [Oki et al.; Biol Pharm. Bull., 2000, 232, 1084] was also performed using a DOX96. When 45 U/well GOD an...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between smoking status and the outcomes of transcrestal sinus floor elevation (tSFE) performed with a minimally invasive technique (Smart Lift). METHODS Forty-five implants were placed in 25 non-smoker (NS) and 20 smoker (S) patients in conjunction with the tSFE procedure. In all cases, an additional graft, chosen among different hydroxyapatite-based or ...

Pigmentary variation in animals has been studied because of its application in genetics, evolution, and developmental biology. The large number of known color loci provides rich resource to elucidate the functional pigmentary system. Nonetheless, more color loci remain to be identified. In our previous study, we revealed that two different strains, namely, AGH rats and LEH rats, but which had t...

This report presents a design method for decision rules called ARD+. It is an extension of a previously proposed ARD method. In ARD+ the emphasis is put on the gradual refinement of the conceptual model of a knowledge-based system described with attributes. A practical algorithm providing a transition from the ARD+ design to rule design is introduced. Using ARD+ and the algorithm it is possible...
