In disaster situation a quickly obtained and regularly updated overview image of an area provides essential information for the rescue mission planning. Such an overview image can be composed from the individual pictures taken by a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). However, currently drones are remotely controlled by humans during such missions. To the best of our knowledge, no research...

Motivated by the optimization of link state routing in ad hoc networks, and the concept of multipoint relays, we introduce the notion of remote-spanner. Given an unweighted graph G, a remote spanner is a set of links H such that for any pair of nodes (u, v) there exists a shortest path in G for which all links in the path that are not adjacent to u belong to H. The remote spanner is a kind of m...

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and working remotely may decrease advantages residing in populated areas. This study aims to test relationship between remote work changes neighborhood satisfaction discern difference according both status centrality areas where people live relationships geographic accessibility facilities satisfaction. By using an ordinal logistic regression, we analyzed ...

the neighborhood has had a long history in iranian urbanization. since urban plans wereintroduced by the authorities to shape urban development in iran half a century ago, the concept of iranian traditional neighborhood has been neglected gradually. the concept of neighborhood has not found the appropriate status in urban design and planning yet. one of the main reasons is that academics, profe...

In this work we design two versions of a local neighborhood search algorithm. These versions are customized for a system operational parameter calibration task. The first and second methods perform complete and incomplete probabilistic neighborhood searches, respectively. The domain of application of the method is that of hand gesture control of telerobotic systems. The primary need for recalib...

Land cover classification from remote sensing multispectral images has been traditionally conducted by using mainly spectral information associated with discrete spatial units (i.e. pixels). Geometric and topological characteristics of the spatial context close to every pixel have been either not fully treated or completely ignored. This article provides a review of the strategies used by a num...

In this paper, we present an enhanced version of the routing protocol Landmark Ad Hoc Routing (LANMAR). LANMAR combines the features of Fisheye State Routing (FSR) and Landmark routing. The enhanced version features landmark election to cope with the dynamic and mobile environment. Other advantages of LANMAR include the use of landmarks for each logical group (e.g., a team of co-workers at a co...

Confucianism is a splendid treasure in Chinese traditional culture. It has an important influence on the unique spirit and thinking of nation, also certain degree China's foreign policy. This paper studies application manifestation contemporary policy from three aspects Confucianism:" Great Harmony under Heaven" " Good Neighborhood Friendship", and" Nature humanity" , explores how to improve st...

sustainable transportation with the aim of urban sustainable development aims to improve the environmental quality and the socio-economic condition. one of the most important strategies for achieving sustainable transportation is planning and designing for walking, or in other words increasing urban walkability. therefore, increased walkability has become a key issue in urban planning. understa...
