Abstract In this work a Finite-Difference Frequency-Domain (FDFD) propagation method for complex urban environments is proposed. The formulation starts from the discretization of the Helmholtz equation for the magnetic f...

Abstract Within the KONATES project, a pilot system was set up in the Science Park in Leipzig to investigate the feasibility of combining Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) with groundwater remediation. Along with the...

In this paper, the signal propagation characteristics of urban environments are predicted by modeling important propagation parameters of the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network for macrocells. The MOPEM propaga...

The critical factor in restoration and conservation of urban streams and their catchments is the human population, however the most of studies of urban ecosystems do not present social descriptors as concrete variables o...

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has put forth a set of regulations (Part 107) that govern small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) operations. These regulations restrict unmanned aircraft (UA) from flying over peopl...

Road traffic crashes are among the leading causes of death and injury worldwide. While urban planning and design are known to influence road safety, it is not clear how features of the built environment contribute to tra...

Abstract Background Understanding the association between birds, zoonotic infections, and urban environments is increasingly important due to industrialization and emerging zoonoses. Investigating the diversity, structur...

Applied studies on the spatial form and the manner of physical-spatial development of cities are essential in addressing contemporary urban issues and meeting both present and future needs of citizens. The built environm...

Context and background  Rapid urbanisation in African cities is reshaping urban land systems, creating complex environmental trade-offs with direct implications for land policy and spatial regulation. In Windhoek and...

Abstract Introduction Tobacco is one of the biggest public health problems and a major risk factor for various non-communicable diseases (NCDs). An important aspect of tobacco control strategy could include modifications...

The expansion of human populations associated with urbanization results in extensive modification of natural habitats. While many species cannot persist in these highly modified environments, some species adopt new strat...

Abstract Research on the dynamics and driving mechanisms of submerged macrophytes communities during the natural restoration period of lakes with different trophic level remains relatively scarce. This study aims to inve...

The paper analyses the legally established practice of agriculture has been forced out of the urban environment as land value increases with higher population densities. It’s stated, that cities and surrounding urban e...

This study investigates the intensity of Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect across Lahore District and its surrounding urban and peri-urban areas. Landsat satellite data were utilized t...

The paper explores the theoretical and conceptual aspects of urban life quality (ULQ) synthesized in a model that includes the physical support of the cities, in our case of intermediate scales. This model considers the ...

At the current stage of globalization, agglomerations act as the driving forces of the Russian Federation's economy and social development. They are home to over 60% of the Russian Federation's population, approximately ...

Italian historic centres face critical challenges balancing heritage conservation with contemporary needs, particularly in regions like Calabria where smaller settlements experience depopulation, decay, and inadequate se...

The WHO estimates that by 2050, 70% of the global population will reside in urban areas—centers of opportunity but also major health risks. Urbanization contributes to the rise of non-communicable chronic diseases, lin...

Urban growth has reshaped land use patterns globally, demanding robust and scalable methodologies to monitor its long-term dynamics. This study proposes a GeoAI-based framework that integrates Random Forest (RF) classifi...

This study explores the intersection of sustainable urban governance and smart infrastructure in the development of resilient cities. As urban areas grow, integrating advanced technologies with climate-responsive plannin...

Urban analytics has emerged as a transformative tool for addressing the challenges of urbanization and fostering sustainable smart cities. Despite its growing significance, a gap remains in the literature on integrating ...

Cities of the future will have to overcome congestion, air pollution and increasing infrastructure cost while moving more people and goods smoothly, efficiently and in an eco-friendly manner. Urban air mobility (UAM) is ...

This investigation aims to incorporate new visions and tools that investigate the public green space as a fundamental element that structures urban life and shape our cities. In this sense, the city of La Plata presents ...

Indoor hydroponics offers a promising pathway toward sustainable urban agriculture, but its effectiveness depends on precise environmental control. This study presents a compact, energy-efficient hydroponic system that u...
