Spontaneous Cities: Lessons to Improve Planning for Housing
(Land;10(5), 5/19/2021)
The world can learn two key lessons from spontaneous settlements: (i) design so as to adapt to human biology; and (ii) design to save energy. Timeless processes of urban growth and sustainability have forced societies to ...
The Importance of Domestic Space in the Times of COVID-19
(10/19/2021)
This essay discusses a deep malaise of contemporary architecture, made more obvious by experiencing COVID-19 lockdowns for several months. Evidence-based arguments urge society to improve human health and well-being by ...
Stability of Sets Criteria for Impulsive Cohen-Grossberg Delayed Neural Networks with Reaction-Diffusion Terms
(12/21/2019)
The paper proposes an extension of stability analysis methods for a class of impulsive reaction-diffusion Cohen-Grossberg delayed neural networks by addressing a challenge namely stability of sets. Such extended concept ...
Defense against Adversarial Swarms with Parameter Uncertainty
(2022-06-24)
This paper addresses the problem of optimal defense of a high-value unit (HVU) against a large-scale swarm attack. We discuss multiple models for intra-swarm cooperation strategies and provide a framework for combining ...
On the Finite-Time Boundedness and Finite-Time Stability of Caputo-Type Fractional Order Neural Networks with Time Delay and Uncertain Terms
(2022-06-30)
This study investigates the problem of finite-time boundedness of a class of neural networks
of Caputo fractional order with time delay and uncertain terms. New sufficient conditions are
established by constructing ...
On the Solutions of a Quadratic Integral Equation of the Urysohn Type of Fractional Variable Order
(2022-06-27)
In this manuscript we introduce a quadratic integral equation of the Urysohn type of
fractional variable order. The existence and uniqueness of solutions of the proposed fractional model
are studied by transforming it ...
Synchronization in a Multiplex Network of Nonidentical Fractional-Order Neurons
(2022-03-18)
Fractional-order neuronal models that include memory effects can describe the rich dynamics of the firing of the neurons. This paper studies synchronization problems in a multiple network of Caputo–Fabrizio type fractional ...
What Happens in Your Brain When You Walk Down the Street? Implications of Architectural Proportions, Biophilia, and Fractal Geometry for Urban Science
(2022-01-07)
This article reviews current research in visual urban perception. The temporal sequence
of the first few milliseconds of visual stimulus processing sheds light on the historically ambiguous
topic of aesthetic experience. ...
The Legacy of Peter Wynn
(5/28/2021)
After the death of Peter Wynn in December 2017, manuscript documents he left came to our knowledge. They concern continued fractions, rational (Padé) approximation, Thiele interpolation, orthogonal polynomials, moment ...
Biometric Pilot-Studies Reveal the Arrangement and Shape of Windows on a Traditional Façade to be Implicitly "Engaging", Whereas Contemporary Façades Are Not
(5/18/2020)
The human brain evolved to implicitly approach or avoid objects in its surroundings. Requisite for survival, this behavior happens without conscious awareness or control, honed over 60 million years of primate evolution. ...
