This paper shows results of narrowband path loss measurements in a typical urban mobile-to-mobile radio environment at 900 MHz band. The path loss exponent and the variance of the random variable modeling the effects of shadowing and fading are derived from real world measurements performed in an urban and rural area. These parameters can be used with a simple power law path loss model to predi...

The use of mobile phone data provides new spatio‐temporal tools for improving urban planning, and for reducing inefficiencies in present‐day urban systems. Data from mobile phones, originally intended as a communication tool, are increasingly used as innovative tools in geography and social sciences research. Empirical studies on complex city systems from human‐centred and urban dynamics perspe...

BACKGROUND Mobile health (mhealth) has emerged as a powerful resource in the medical armamentarium against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We sought to determine among adult caregivers of HIV-exposed/infected children; the extent of mobile phone ownership, the ability to communicate in Cameroon's national official languages (NOL), and the refusal to receive such reminders. METHO...

providing efficient programme to promote urban landscape is considered as one of the most significant element of development in developed cities. the significance will become more considerable in edges of megacities where a lot of environmental, social, and economic issues are evident. this article is trying to deal with the importance of landscape control in relation with a neighborhood by sug...

Land use planning is the main core of urban planning and one of the main components of an urban system. This element has close relation with transportation system of the city, so if their interaction becomes insufficient, deterioration and chaos would have an adverse impact on the urban system and would cause serious environmental issues. The integrated land use-transportation models seem to b...
