one of the most important information in urban forestry is acquaintance of urban landscape’s area or proportion. nowadays, in several countries variable methods are used to achieve this aim. since there is not any complete method to study urban forest’s status in iran, it is impossible to exert authentic management for these resources. hence, in this research, sampling methods and ikonos satell...

The effects of urbanization on flying vertebrates historically have been underestimated, with roads in particular impacting bat populations through vehicle collisions, habitat fragmentation and unwillingness to disperse across roads. Although vegetated fauna overpasses have not traditionally been considered as beneficial for microbats, these structures have recently been identified as a potenti...

Obviously, improving the road safety and the efficient allocation of limited resources to the provinces according to their ranking should be done. This paper presents a hybrid method of multivariate statistical analysis-decision making to evaluate Iran road traffic safety. In order to solve the problems of road traffic safety, a macroscopic evaluation and traffic safety level classification in ...

roads are crucial to our everyday lives as we use them  by driving, riding, walking or travelling as a pedestrian. worldwide, more than  1.2 million people are killed on roads every year and up to 50 million more are injured; with most casualties from developing countries. in addition to different disabilities, road.accidents cause extensive psychological disorders and grief, and occasionally e...

This report offers a descriptive analysis of secondary data obtained from a variety of published literature and unpublished reports. Over three thousand people are killed annually on Kenyan roads. A four-fold increase in road fatalities has bee...

This paper addresses the problem of resource fragmentation (RF) in QoS controlled networks. Resources are said to be fragmented when they are available in non-contiguous blocks and hence cannot be utilized by incoming calls with high resource demands. This paper shows the effect of resource fragmentation on QoS controlled networks and presents the Dynamic Resource Redistribution (DRR) algorithm...

Proposals promising integration have been offered as solutions to problems of faculty specialization and fragmentation. Despite their merits, these proposals may be premature or even misguided. A prior need is to analyze the roots and processes of specialization and fragmentation. One kind of analysis begins with the relationship among professionalization, problem setting, and paradigmatic comm...
