We investigate the use of co-occurrence texture measures to provide information on different building densities inside a town structure. We try to improve the pixel-by-pixel classification of an urban area by considering texture measures as a means for block analysis and classification. We find some interesting hints concerning the optimal dimension of the window to be considered for texture me...

The use of traac monitoring techniques based on image processing algorithms for supervising urban vehicle ows could be very useful. Classical inductive loops can only compute traac density on a single lane but are unable to estimate, for example, the behaviour of the vehicle ow at a crossroad. In this paper a system that estimates the turning rates at an urban crossroad by processing the sequen...

The focus of the research is mega-block in New Belgrade built in 1960`s, before and after transformation. The aim of research was to compare the parameters of bioclimatic urban design before and after the intervention. The results show decrease due to shading and evapotranspiration of 1°C to 2°C, in the central part of communal open space and increase of temperature along the edges of the block...

A nurse residency program's best practice recommendations are presented within this article and are organized around three processes: establishing the program infrastructure, creating a multistaged evidence-based program, and sustaining the program through appropriate evaluation and dissemination of results. These recommendations represent lessons learned and key findings derived from a team of...

It is a great pleasure for me to attend the Fourth Annual Forum on City Informatization in the Asian-Pacific Region while having this opportunity to exchange views with the distinguished guests. IT Promotes Development, the theme of the annual forum which fully reveals the significance of sustainable development of informatization and its role in the development. This is a theme which attracts ...
