Urban planning in a context of rapid urban growth. A large scale review of urban plans in Africa [PDF]
arXivAs the African continent continues to urbanise, cities are becoming increasingly central to the transformations of societies and economies. Many studies highlight the limits of urban planning in these cities, emphasising the high share of population living in slums and the low levels of services that reach neighbourhoods. Less attention is given to the

City marketing - a significant planning tool for urban development in a globalised economy [PDF]
In our days it is a fact that what is projected as the ‘image’ of a city, can be more important than the reality of the city itself, in shaping visitors’, investors’, and even its own inhabitants’ opinion of it.

A Multi‐Resonant Tunable Fabry‐Pérot Cavity for High Throughput Spectral Imaging
Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 8, March 13, 2025.This study introduces a multi‐resonant tunable Fabry‐Pérot filter for high throughput spectral imaging. With a spectral resolution of 10 nm and a switching time of 23 ms, this compact and low‐cost device possesses better spectral imaging accuracy in poor light conditions while maintaining over six times higher optical throughput than standard liquid ...

Collaborative Design and Planning of Software Architecture Changes via Software City Visualization [PDF]
arXivDevelopers usually use diagrams and source code to jointly discuss and plan software architecture changes. With this poster, we present our on-going work on a novel approach that enables developers to collaboratively use software city visualization to design and plan software architecture changes.

Inner-suburban neighbourhoods, activist research and the social space of the commercial street [PDF]
, 2015 This paper tracks the transition of “creative city” planning from the gentrified downtown to the disinvested inner-suburbs. It attends particularly to contradictory notions of community mobilized by proponents of inner-suburban revitalization and by ...

Halogen Bonding‐Enabled Stabilization of Copper(I) Cluster Scintillators in Aqueous Environments
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A new class of halogen bonding‐strengthened copper(I) cluster‐based X‐ray scintillators is developed, with higher lattice symmetry, reduced trap density, and enhanced stability in polar chemical environments surpassing the performance of halogen‐free counterparts and other conventional scintillators. Abstract Scintillators are essential in applications,

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.This work introduces a low‐loss diffractive neural network, fabricated using an imprinting technique with parowax material, for recognizing and manipulating the topological charge of orbital angular momentum (OAM) waves. It is also demonstrated that the low‐loss diffractive network can perform mathematical operations based on the topological charges of
