Forecasting urban futures is of great importance to many in order to ensure adequate provision of public and private services and implement policies that guide demand while mitigating negative impacts. This study produces year-2030 predictions of land use and travel conditions across the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area of Texas, by integrating a gravity-based land use model (mod...

The aim of this study is to develop a new approach for delineating urban growth boundaries (UGBs) by applying the weight of evidence (WOE) method to land suitability assessments. Rapid urbanization is causing urban areas to encroach on agricultural land in China, posing a threat to national food security. Land use planning with clear delineation of UGBs is an effective method for controlling ur...

The feasibility of transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization (TACE) combined with intratumoral injection of cisplatin as treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma. 30 cases receiving TACE were denoted the TACE group, another 30 cases receiving TACE combined with an intratumoral multi-point injection of cisplatin were denoted the TACE/cisplatin group. Cases with partial remission/complete remission...

A fast settling multipath CMOS OTA for high speed switched capacitor applications is presented here. With the basic topology similar to folded-cascode, bandwidth and DC gain of the OTA are enhanced by adding extra paths for signal from input to output. Designed circuit is simulated with HSPICE using level 49 parameters (BSIM 3v3) in 0.35 um standard CMOS technology. The DC gain achieved is 56.7...

اوّلین نمایشنامه‌ی پینتر با‌عنوان اتاق حاوی شخصیّت‌پردازی منحصر‌به‌فرد است که قابلیّت تحلیل از منظر‌های مختلف را دارد. آنچه بر صحنه می‌آید، معلول‌هایی بدون ذکر علّت‌ها به منتقد امکان خوانش‌های متعدد می‌دهد. در‌حالی‌که این نسبتاً کوتاه هستی‌شناسی، اقتصاد و تنازع طبقاتی، فمنیسم روانکاوی فرویدی مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است، به‌کارگیری مراحل رشد شخصیّت، مراحلی بزرگسالی در‌بر می‌گیرد، در خوانش آن مغفول واقع ...
