The globalisation of the economy and the availability of Internet technology have had a profound impact on thinking about the future of cities and regions. On the one hand there is talk about the “end of geography,” of the placeless “digital city,” on the other of a “renaissance of regional economies” and a “new logic of agglomeration.” The relatively unfavourable view of the future of the city...

Key Teaching Points•Macroreentrant ventricular tachycardia (VT) with an intraseptal substrate exhibits a centrifugal spread, making it challenging to complete the delineation of circuit.•The localization slow conduction zone (SCZ) in intraseptum would be more convincingly elucidated when “entrance” and “exit” can identified on septum.•Manifest entrainment orthodromic capture earliest activation...

Since the start of the second Palestinian uprising (Al-Aqsa Intifada), and due to the Israeli activities, curfews, closures, and military checkpoints imposed since 2000, the quality of social services rendered by Nablus city has been gradually deteriorating. Solid waste management in Nablus city was badly affected by these conditions, and this situation is negatively affecting health and damagi...

Agricultural droughts are droughts that affect the crop production or the ecology of a region. Ravar city that is located in margin of desert and the north of Kerman province is one of these areas. Due to the existence of enough underground water that entrance to desert and high evaporation to improving agricultural and cultivar activities, it needed to study the construction of underground dam...

Laminar and turbulent numerical simulations of steady flow in an aneurysm model were carried out over Reynolds numbers ranging from 300 to 3600. The numerical simulations are validated with Digital particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV) measurements, and used to study the fluid dynamic mechanisms that characterize aneurysm deterioration, by correlating them to in vitro blood platelet deposition resu...

The City of Merida, in the State of Yucatán, obtains its drinking water primarily from three well fields located in the periphery of the city. In addition, there are water supply wells within the city. Water from the public water supply contains lead, cadmium, chromium in excess of the Mexican Drinking Water Norm. The following organic contaminants have also been identified in the ground water ...

Vehicular Area Network is one of the critical public area networks that combine the functioning of the mobile and sensor network. This network is based on scenario based constraint setting. In this work an effective zone based analysis approach is suggested for route generation in City Scenario. The paper has setup the communication between the V2I and I2I to identify the effective route over t...

Angiostrongylus cantonensis is considered the main etiological agent of eosinophilic meningitis in humans. At present, this zoonosis is considered an emerging disease mainly in the Americas. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Achatina fulica infected by Angiostrongylus cantonensis in restinga areas along beaches in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro city, Brazil. The study ar...
