From Building Information Modeling to Building Energy Modeling: Optimization Study for Efficient Transformation

Buildings
The conversion from building information modeling (BIM) to building energy modeling (BEM) based on the industry foundation classes (IFC) data standard is a crucial step for efficient building energy design and energy performance analysis.

Synergies of Geospatial and Digital Technologies for Sustainable Rural Development: A Data‐Driven Analysis of Topics and Novelty Assessment

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The adoption of geospatial and digital technologies, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Building Information Modelling (BIM), Digital Twins, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), is increasingly recognised as key enablers of sustainable development.

‘Sustainable Development’ or ‘Development Sustainability’? A Corpus Linguistic Analysis of Hong Kong Legislative Discourse (2016–2021)

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grounded in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework, I examined sustainability discourse in the Hong Kong Legislative Council (LegCo) Hansards. Using LancsBox X, I employed collocational and concordance analyses to investigate a 15.7‐million‐word Hansard corpus.

Theranostic π Electron‐Stabilized Polymeric Micelles for PET Imaging‐Guided Drug Delivery to Tumors

Small, EarlyView.
Cancer nanomedicine efficacy is limited by heterogeneous nanoparticle accumulation in tumors. Nuclear imaging offers non‐invasive, patient‐ and lesion‐specific visualization and quantification of nanoparticle uptake. We present a positron emission tomography (PET)‐imageable micelle platform for direct quantification of nanoparticle accumulation and ...

A Semantic Scan-to-IFC Pipeline for Automated Generation of BEM-Ready Building Models from Mobile Indoor Scanning Data

Buildings
Building Energy Modelling (BEM) for existing buildings is constrained by the lack of reliable as-built Building Information Models (BIMs) and persistent BIM-to-BEM interoperability problems.

Flexibility Feasible Region Construction and Operation Optimization for Urban Residential Smart Buildings

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
To effectively harness the flexibility of urban residential buildings, this study proposes using the feasible flexibility region (FFR) of residential smart buildings (RSB) as an alternative to directly scheduling a large number of diverse, dispersed, and heterogeneous flexibility resources.

VTMaxBox: A reproducible practical tool for measuring voluntary thermal maximum in terrestrial ectotherms

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Thermal traits are central to understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental warming. However, not all thermal traits describe the same biological process. Critical thermal maxima quantify physiological failure, whereas preferred temperatures describe thermal selection under choice conditions.

Real‐Time Conformal Maps and Parameterizations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a simple algorithm to conformally map between two simple and bounded planar domains based on the concept of harmonic measure, which is a conformal invariant. With suitable preprocessing, the algorithm is fast enough to compute all possible conformal maps (having three real degrees of freedom) between the two domains in real time in
