In the paper, we suggest an approach to evaluate the number and composition of functional regions. Suggested approach is based on basic characteristics of functional regions, that are (1) more intensive intra-regional than the inter-regional interactions and (2) internal social and economic heterogeneity. Those characteristics are measured by factors estimated in spatial interaction model. The ...

Limiting competition, preventing interstate conflict among members and fostering regional orders in Southeast Asia has been a central and continuous feature since the establishment of ASEAN.ASEAN is always imperative to sustain its credibility by providing the platform of interactions in East Asia and the rest of the world. From its inception South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation is...

We contrasted regional cerebral blood flow in matched groups of 30 patients with major depression, 30 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 30 normal controls using the 133Xe inhalation technique. Whereas both the depressed and Alzheimer's disease groups had markedly reduced global cortical blood flow, the Scaled Subprofile Model, developed to identify abnormalities in regional networks, indica...

Global climate models do not have sufficient spatial resolution to represent the atmospheric and land surface processes that determine the unique regional heterogeneity of the climate of the State of Washington. If future large-scale weather patterns interact differently with the local terrain and coastlines than current weather patterns, local changes in temperature and precipitation could be ...

this study was undertaken to identify key elements for obtaining community interest and motivate them to support eliminate malaria in the places that malaria is no longer a perceived threat.sequential explanatory mixed methods research design used to provide more comprehensive evidence research. a questionnaire was developed after reviewing the literature relating to community participation for...

in the present study, the binding isotherms for interaction of a homologous series of n-alkyltrimethyl ammonium bromides with bovine serum albumin (bsa) have been analyzed on basis of intrinsic thermodynamic quantities. in this regards, the intrinsic gibbs free energy of binding, agb(i,)„ has been estimated at various surfactant concentrations and its trend of variation for both binding sets ha...
