The Use of Graph Theory to Study the Relationship Between the Spatial Organization and Climate in Traditional Iranian Architecture

Pourvahidi, Parastoo; Ozdeniz, Mesut B.; Hancer, Polat - In: Open House International 40 (2015) 4, pp. 71-80

This research will analyze the traditional Iranian buildings according to the climatic factors by the use of graph theory. By this way, the hypothesis that climate factor has a major effect on the organization of the spaces in traditional Iranian buildings will be tested. Access graphs have been...

Policy responses to a dark side of the integration of regions and nations

Stark, Oded - 2012

In this paper I study policy responses to an increase in post-merger distress. I consider the integration of regions and nations as a merger of populations which I view as a revision of social space, and I identify the effect of the merger on aggregate distress. The paper is based on the premise...

A Class of Adaptive EM-based Importance Sampling Algorithms for Efficient and Robust Posterior and Predictive Simulation

Hoogerheide, Lennart; Opschoor, Anne; van Dijk, Herman K. - 2011

A class of adaptive sampling methods is introduced for efficient posterior and predictive simulation. The proposed methods are robust in the sense that they can handle target distributions that exhibit non-elliptical shapes such as multimodality and skewness. The basic method makes use of...
