Nowadays, given different definitions and conceptions on development, territorial planning lends to for various economic, social and geographical aspects, however its defensive and security perspectives have been taken into account to less extent. The present research is aimed to specify passive defense legal requirements in Territorial planning through outlining the most important rules on pas...

Introduction: Social participation is considered one dimension and also determinant of quality of life. The level of social participation of the elderly is influenced by various components such as socio-economic and demographic factors. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between social participation, quality of life, and some socio-economic factors in community dwelling elderly ...

Article history: Received 15 April 2011 Received in revised form 13 October 2011 Accepted 22 November 2011 Available online xxxx The social sciences have traditionally assumed that education is amajor determinant of citizens' political orientations and behavior. Several studies have also shown that intelligence has an impact. According to a theory that conceptualizes intelligence as a burgher (...

We present a condition which guarantees spatial uniformity for the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a reaction-diffusion PDE with Neumann boundary conditions. This condition makes use of the Jacobian matrix of the reaction terms and the second Neumann eigenvalue of the Laplacian operator on the given spatial domain, and replaces the global Lipschitz assumptions commonly used in the liter...

Suppose that Ω is a subdomain of Rn and G is a non-elementary K-quasiconformal group. Then G is a Lie group acting on Ω. Hilbert-Smith Conjecture states that every locally compact topological group acting effectively on a connected manifold must be a Lie group. Recently Martin [8] has solved the solution of the Hilbert-Smith Conjecture in the quasiconformal category (Theorem 1.2): Theorem 1. Le...

We explore some geometric aspects of compensation compactness associated to Jacobian determinants. We provide the optimal constant in Wente's inequality-the original motivation of this work-and go on to give various extensions to geometric situations. In fact we improve Wente's inequality somewhat, making it more appropriate for applications in which optimal results are required. This is demons...

In this paper, we obtain the isoperimetric inequality on a conformally flat manifold with finite total Q-curvature. This is a higher dimensional analog of Li and Tam’s result [“Complete surfaces with finite total curvature.” Journal of Differential Geometry 33 (1991): 139–68] on surfaces with finite total Gaussian curvature. The main step in the proof is based on the construction of a quasiconf...
