Neighborhood properties

In this research, a prototypical polymer system reinforced by a Silica nanoscopic inclusion is considered. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are performed and used to characterize the conformational properties of the polymer chains in the neighborhood of the inclusion. It is shown that these chains are characterized by a specific tangential orientation which, together with the density profile and variations in chain mobility, allows for the geometric definition of the interphase region.

In this paper, we establish existence results of fixed point for mixed monotone operators in a real Hausdorff locally convex topological vector space without normality of cone. Our result is an extension of Z. Zhang- K. Wang.

The first research objective uses the mixed-method research including qualitative and quantitative research to the quality of sidewalk in HCMC by capturing sidewalk liveliness as a quality dimension in HCMC. The second research applies the Hedonic pricing model to investigate the impact of sidewalks on property values in mixed-use neighborhood in HCMC. Data was collected from 283 sidewalk-segments and single-family houses in 13 districts.

The two objectives of the thesis use different analysis methods and models. The first research objective uses the method of behavior mapping included walk-by observations and direct observations to explain why sidewalk can become public space by capturing liveliness as a quality dimension in HCMC. The second research applies the Hedonic pricing model to examine value premiums that sidewalk has on residential property values in mixed-use neighborhood in HCMC.

The close link between the financial cycle and financial crises underlies the fourth empirical feature: it is possible to measure the build-up of risk of financial crises in real time with fairly good accuracy. Specifically, the most promising leading indicators of financial crises are based on simultaneous positive deviations (or “gaps”) of the ratio of (private sector) credit-to- GDP and asset prices, especially property prices, from historical norms (Borio and Drehmann (2009), Alessi and Detken (2009)).

For more than two decades, Bank of America has aspired to environmental leadership in the financial services sector. In 2007, we announced a 10-year, $20 billion business initiative to address climate change through our lending, investing, products and services, and our own operations. This initiative is far more than doing good for its own sake — it has proven to be a long-term, compelling business opportunity for our clients, our company and our shareholders.

Web geometry is devoted to the study of families of foliations which are in general position. We restrict ourselves to the local situation, in the neighborhood of the origin in C2 , with d ≥ 1 complex analytic foliations of curves in general position. We are interested in the geometry of such configurations, that is, properties of planar d-webs which are invariant with respect to analytic local isomorphisms of C2 . The initiators of the subject are W. Blaschke, G. Thomsen and G. Bol in the 1930’s (cf. [B-B], [B] and for instance [H1]). ...

In recent years, in other disciplines as well, countries worldwide have been conducting large national studies targeting people. It is thought that each country intends to collect information about the people in these studies as part of its national strategy and accumulate it as intellectual property for the health and medical care of future generations. The United Kingdom, for example, is conducting research to determine the effects of lifestyle, the environment, and genetics, targeting 500,000 adults.

On balance, it is desirable to have a diversified and balanced financial system where both financial intermediaries and financial markets play important roles in imparting greater competitiveness and efficiency to the financial system. In the present context of financial liberalisation, stock markets and banks emerge as sources of corporate finance and stock market development actually tends to increase the quantity of bank loans through improved debt- equity ratios.

We are also gaining industry recognition for projects around the globe. at a trophy class a office building in los angeles, California, we worked with the property managers to perform extensive retrofits on lighting and water systems, expanded building and tenant recycling programs, and ensured that all janitorial products were lEED-compliant and Green seal-certified. the property consistently achieves EnERGy staR labels, and in 2009, received a lEED-Eb o&M silver certification.

An investment property offers a unique option: you can buy one virtually anywhere. If you’re comfortable being an absentee landlord, you can actually own a home thousands of miles away and have a team of specialists manage your property. But most investors opt to be more involved than that, buying properties closer to home. An NAR study of investment home purchases shows the median distance to be 99 miles from the owner’s primary residence, with 37% located less than 25 miles away.

The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is a neural network algorithm, which uses a competitive learning technique to train itself in an unsupervised manner. SOMs are different from other artificial neural networks in the sense that they use a neighborhood function to preserve the topological properties of the input space and they have been used to create an ordered representation of multi-dimensional data which simplifies complexity and reveals meaningful relationships. Prof. T. Kohonen in the early 1980s first established the relevant theory and explored possible applications of SOMs. ...

NONOSCILLATORY HALF-LINEAR DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS AND RECESSIVE SOLUTIONS ˇ ´ MARIELLA CECCHI, ZUZANA DOSLA, AND MAURO MARINI Received 30 January 2004 and in revised form 26 May 2004 Recessive and dominant solutions for the nonoscillatory half-linear difference equation are investigated. By using a uniqueness result for the zero-convergent solutions satisfying a suitable final condition, we prove that recessive solutions are the “smallest solutions in a neighborhood of infinity,” like in the linear case. Other asymptotic properties of recessive and dominant solutions are treated too. 1.
