Solar Performance Metrics in Urban Planning: A Review and Taxonomy
Buildings, 2022 Metrics are instrumental in design assessments. Solar performance metrics help designers to evaluate solar access in cities. Metrics should be used early in the urban planning stages in order to enable sustainable urban development with greater access to

Rethinking Poverty Metrics: Constructing the GEAR Model Indicators through a Reflective-Critical Lens [PDF]
Applied Research in Administrative SciencesThe apparent success of many poverty reduction policies stands in sharp contrast to persistent experiences of dependency, clientelism, and structural vulnerability.

ABOVEGROUND BIOMASS ESTIMATION USING RECONSTRUCTED FEATURE OF AIRBORNE DISCRETE-RETURN LIDAR BY AUTO-ENCODER NEURAL NETWORK [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 Aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation is critical for quantifying carbon stocks and essential for evaluating carbon cycle. In recent years, airborne LiDAR shows its great ability for highly-precision AGB estimation.

Some rigidity results on critical metrics for quadratic functionals [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper we prove rigidity results on critical metrics for quadratic curvature functionals, involving the Ricci and the scalar curvature, on the space of Riemannian metrics with unit volume. It is well-known that Einstein metrics are always critical

Critical metrics of the volume functional on manifolds with boundary [PDF]
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2017 The goal of this article is to study the space of smooth Riemannian structures on compact manifolds with boundary that satisfies a critical point equation associated with a boundary value problem. We provide an integral formula which enables us to show that if a critical metric of the volume functional on a connected n n -dimensional ...

Apparent horizons in simplicial Brill wave initial data [PDF]
, 1998 We construct initial data for a particular class of Brill wave metrics using Regge calculus, and compare the results to a corresponding continuum solution, finding excellent agreement. We then search for trapped surfaces in both sets of initial data, and

On the volume functional of compact manifolds with boundary with constant scalar curvature
, 2008 We study the volume functional on the space of constant scalar curvature metrics with a prescribed boundary metric. We derive a sufficient and necessary condition for a metric to be a critical point, and show that the only domains in space forms, on ...
