Dignity and independence are widely considered as core concepts to aging well, yet little research has explored how older adults perceive these issues in the context of community life. Moreover, little is known regarding the ways in which the broader public views and enhances aging with dignity and independence with their older residents. Using participatory action research, multiple methods of...

Every permutation of {1, 2, . . . , N} can be written as the product of two involutions. As a consequence, any permutation of the elements of an array can be performed in-place using simultaneous swaps in two rounds of swaps. In the case where the permutation is the k-way perfect shuffle we develop two methods for efficiently computing the pair of involutions that accomplishes these swaps. The ...

Today, a major range of studies in architecture and urban design have been devoted to concepts such as place attachment, place identity, and etc. In all these studies, human-human interaction, human-place interaction and the impact of place on people are fundamental subjects of analysis. Place attachment is closely related to satisfaction, emotional characteristics, physical characteristics, at...

In this study, cooling of a hot obstacle in a rectangular cavity filled with water-CuO nanolfuid has been examined numerically. This cavity has an inlet and outlet and the cold nanofuid comes from the left side of the cavity and after cooling the hot obstacle, it goes out from the opposite site. All of the walls are insulated, and the SIMPLER algorithm has been employed for solving the governin...

Gate resizing for minimum circuit delay is a fundamental problem in the performance optimization of gate-level circuits. In this paper , we study the complexity of two diierent minimum-delay gate resizing problems for combinational circuits composed of single-output gates. The rst problem is that of gate resizing for minimum circuit delay under the load-dependent delay model. The second problem...
