Based on numerical models and climate observations over past centuries, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) attributes to human activity most of the warming observed since the mid-20th century. In this context, this paper presents the first major attempt for climate system identification – in the sense of the systems theory – in the hope to significantly reduce the uncertainty ...

this study estimates the residential property prices in tehran using hedonic price functions and spatial econometrics. the newly employed method is extending the analysis to the neighbourhood level (361 sectors) using the city's planning and gis tools. the results show that the spatial econometric model has higher identification than the simple econometric model. the distance between the c...

Visuospatial neglect (VSN) is a condition following a stroke or head injury whereby a patient fails to respond to stimuli on one side of the visual field. A standard clinical assessment technique for analysis of VSN is a pencil-andpaper based figure drawing task. Traditional static analysis of this task involves assessing the presence of the major components of the drawing. Marking of drawings ...

Although a large body of empirical and theoretical work in procedural justice points to the positive consequences of providing voice to people, it remains unclear whether, and to what degree, people may desire voice in the first instance. The current paper presents two studies in which we directly measure people’s relative levels of voice desires and expectations. We hypothesized that any varia...

The problem of rating the performance of soccer players is attracting the interest of many companies, websites, and the scientific community, thanks to the availability of massive data capturing all the events generated during a game (e.g., tackles, passes, shots, etc.). Existing approaches fail to fully exploit the richness of the available data and lack of a proper validation. In this paper, ...

Day-to-day variation of the corrected orthogonial electrocardiogram was investigated in 20 normal subjects. Ten recordings were made in each individual witlh chest electrode positions left unmarked first, after which 10 subjects underwent another series of 10 consecutive daily recordings with marked electrode locations. Mean and maximal day-to-day variations of durations and amplitudes of diffe...

One of the numerous methods recently employed to study the health of structures is the identification of anomaly in data obtained for the condition of the structure, e.g. the frequencies for the structural modes, stress, strain, displacement, speed,  and acceleration) which are obtained and stored by various sensors. The methods of identification applied for anomalies attempt to discover and re...

to achieve sustainable urban development and values from social justice; it is essential that all citizens enjoy resources, facilities and life opportunities equally. due to lack of a stable or systematic approach of measuring urban problems, disparity in environmental conditions or access to social and physical infrastructures is more obvious, especially in the cities of developing countries. ...
