Urban heritage conservation and rapid urbanization : insights from Surat, India
Currently, heritage is challenged in the Indian city of Surat due to diverse pressures, including rapid urbanization, increasing housing demand, and socio‐cultural and climate changes. Where rapid demographic growth of urban areas is happening, heritage is disappearing at an alarming rate. Despite some efforts from the local government, urban cultural heritage is being neglected and historic buildings keep being replaced by ordinary concrete buildings at a worryingly rapid pace. Discussions of challenges and issues of Surat’s urban area is supported by a qualitative dataset, including in‐depth semi‐structured interviews and focus groups with local policy makers, planners, and heritage experts, triangulated by observation and a photo‐survey of two historic areas. Findings from this study reveal a myriad of challenges such as: inadequacy of urban conservation management policies and processes focused on heritage, absence of skills, training, and resources amongst decision makers and persistent conflict and competition between heritage conservation needs and developers’ interests. Furthermore, the values and significance of Surat’s tangible and intangible heritage is not fully recognized by its citizens and heritage stakeholders. A crucial opportunity exists for Surat to maximize the potential of heritage and reinforce urban identity for its present and future generations. Surat’s context is representative of general trends and conservation challenges and therefore recommendations developed in this study hold the potential to offer interesting insights to the wider planners and conservationists’ international community. This paper recommends thoughtful integration of sustainable heritage urban conservation into local urban development frameworks and the establishment of approaches that recognize the plurality of heritage values
Analytics of IoT Streaming Data using Modified New Pattern Mining Algorithm
In the era of information technology, everything we are using in the everyday life is represented in form of information. Transportation, parking, traffic, pollution are some examples of hundreds of infrastructure systems with which we act every day. By using information technologies combined with communication, it becomes very easy to represent all details even the tiniest parts of these fields in forms of data. Furthermore, the Internet of things (IoT) plays a very important role in connecting physical objects with electronics, software, and sensors. Based on that, smart cites have been modeled and implemented in thousands place over all the world; In these cities, all smart systems in different fields like transportation networks, pollution,traffic,airlines, etc. are showed in form of numbers and strings of characters.This paper represents the problems occur in this type of methods with little bit solution of them by new modified algorithm
Effective Scheduling of Road and Bridge Closures: Phase 2
This research provides a study on work zone impact analysis. In case of multiple road closures, the network approach is used to find an effective scheduling such that the total user delay is reduced. A dynamic model for analyzing the work zone impact during the period when network is in transition state is also developed. A salient feature of the dynamic model is drives’ perception updating model, which incorporates availability and the quality of information as perceived by drivers
Analytical solution to position dependent mass Schr\"odinger equation
Using a recently developed technique to solve Schr\"odinger equation for
constant mass, we studied the regime in which mass varies with position i.e
position dependent mass Schr\"odinger equation(PDMSE). We obtained an
analytical solution for the PDMSE and applied our approach to study a position
dependent mass particle scattered by a potential . We
also studied the structural analogy between PDMSE and two-level atomic system
interacting with a classical field.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
ANALYZING WEB LOGS OF AN ASTROLOGICAL WEBSITE USING KEY INFLUENCERS
With the growth of Internet, websites have become a dynamic tool in the market for every business to both acquire and service their customers. Online presence through websites has given them a global and wider reach. Good design and well management are the two key aspects of the effective website to catch the attention of visitors. Nowadays, the analysis and behavior of website visitors can be used to convert them into customers and serve them in a better way. This can be carried out on the weblogs which are generated as a result of user’s access to a website. This paper aims to study the log files of an astrological website. An astrological website has not gained much attention in the internet community as people prefer going to the astrologers in person to resolve their problems. The log files of an astrology website were taken, preprocessed and analyzed using Analyze Key Influencers technique a feature of Microsoft SQL Server Data Mining Add-ins for Microsoft Office 2007. The information obtained can be used to enhance the effectiveness of the website
