CFD Analysis of Dual‐Layer PCM Roofs for Thermal Mitigation in Residential Buildings

open access: yesHeat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 2290-2312, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a computational fluid dynamics analysis of dual‐layer phase change material (PCM) roofs for passive cooling in residential buildings under the hot and humid climate of Bangladesh. A three‐dimensional transient model was developed in ANSYS Fluent using the enthalpy–porosity approach to simulate coupled heat conduction ...

Equity in Evacuation Planning and Mitigation: Implications of Transportation Infrastructure and Social Vulnerability

open access: yesGrowth and Change, Volume 57, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This research addresses a critical but underexamined challenge in disaster preparedness: the identification of neighborhoods where evacuation is hardest to accomplish based on physical infrastructure constraints as well as inherent social vulnerability. Existing evacuation approaches emphasize the flow of traffic and the capacity of roads, but

An Integrated Approach to Determine Appropriate Stormwater Management Strategies for Urban Areas With Various Land‐Uses: The Case of Güneysu

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study focuses on a multi‐criteria decision‐making (MCDM) analysis backed by EPA's SWMM (storm water management model) to investigate stormwater management (SM) strategies for urban areas consisting of different land‐use types. Güneysu city center (Rize, Türkiye) is used to exemplify areas consisting of impermeable surfaces, blocks of ...

Multicriteria analysis with fuzzy pairwise comparison

open access: yesFUZZ-IEEE'99. 1999 IEEE International Fuzzy Systems. Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.99CH36315), 1999
AbstractThe analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a popular method for solving multicriteria analysis (MA) problems involving qualitative data. However, this method is often criticized due to its use of an unbalanced scale of judgements and its inability to adequately handle the inherent uncertainty and imprecision of the pairwise comparison process ...

Sustainability Assessment of Circular Strategies in the Agri‐Food Industry: The Case of Olive Mills' By‐Product Valorization

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 4641-4658, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study integrates multidimensional sustainability indicators into a unified assessment approach to evaluate circular strategies in agri‐food industry businesses. This methodological approach is applied to empirically examine the case of the olive oil industry's by‐product valorization.

MODEL OF SPATIAL EVALUATION FOR TOURISM ECO-RENT

open access: yesCroatian Operational Research Review, 2011
Tourism is extremely interacted with the environment. Taking into account that tourism uses the space and related resources, it seems right to pay for the damages caused to the environment. This is the basis of the tourist spatial eco rent.
