justice is the main principal of a court. in fact, the court, where is supposed to get somebody’s right, should be treated fairly. therefore, the space of a court should be also designed based on justice. that is, spaces should be designed in a way to give users the best performance and psychological responses. this study has a qualitative process and descriptive aim in the past with the presen...

Categorization is a central task in cognitive science and artificial intelligence. Efficient reasoning about categories is becoming of great importance as intelligent agents are required to perform complex tasks in data-rich environments. Gärdenfors and Williams [6] introduce a robust framework for categorization and reasoning about categories within conceptual spaces. This paper extends their ...

These are notes from talks given at ICMS, Edinburgh, 4/2007 (“Geometry and Algorithms workshop”) and at Bernoulli Center, Lausanne 5/2007 (“Limits of graphs in group theory and computer science”). We survey the following type of dichotomies exhibited by certain classes X of finite metric spaces: For every host space H, either all metrics in X embed almost isometrically in H, or the distortion o...

This paper intends to highlight one of the key concerns of housing designers i.e. the influence of open space on human satisfaction as well as their attachment to a particular place. Consequently, neighborhood open spaces with their meaningful layout seem to be constituent elements of residential complexes. Although, architects and designers try to create qualitative areas among buildings, the ...

Constructing houses in the form of garden-house became popular among Statesmen and the privileged class in Naseri period. Iranian traditional houses which used to be formed around a central courtyard, now were organized around a garden. So the transition from houses with courtyard to garden-houses created a new order of relationships between spaces, resulted in redefining spaces and their forms...

since, in the same vein as public spaces, urban green spaces play a significant role in establishing social interactions in the iranian cities, security concerns need to be taken more seriously in such places than other social environments, the insufficiency of which could diminish their functional capacity. this could in turn lead to a source of subsequent difficulties in urban spaces. therefo...

This paper lies within the domain of learning algorithms based on kernels of Support Vector Machines. A kernel is constructed over the discrete structure of absolute orders of magnitude spaces. This kernel is based on an explicit function, defined from the space of k-tuples of qualitative labels to a feature space, which captures the remoteness between the components of the patterns by using ce...
