land use change is driven by interaction in space and time between humans and the environment that can be captured by computer simulation models (veldkamp and verburg, 2004). in the last few decades, land use change models have played an important role in understanding the causes, mechanisms and consequences of land use dynamics. sleuth is an open source cellular automata based land use change ...

This paper proposes a new auction mechanism with seat reservations in movie theaters using an interdisciplinary approach. In movie theater services, the movie price is generally fixed, not depending on the quality of contents or the theater seat. It implies that such a service mechanism by fixed pricing might not reflect the value of movie contents. In this study, a new mechanism of theater ser...

This study was performed to investigate the potential use of Saussurea lappa C.B. Clarke as a source of anti-oxidant agents. Various solvent fractionates from S. lappa C.B. Clarke roots were investigated for their anti-oxidative effectiveness. The contents of total phenolics and flavonoids were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu's colorimetric and the aluminum nitrate method, respectively. Total...

Video surveillance systems are critical infrastructures and that growing in size complexity. Storage space is the prime resource such but current setups centralized limited resources due to security cost constraints. Allocating correct amount of storage each camera considering their large differences characteristics video content challenging. In this paper we propose a game theoretic approach a...
