Urban streets functionality as a tool for urban pollution management

Science of The Total Environment, 2013
Pollution derived from traffic can be considered one of the major problems of modern cities. Although considerable efforts have been devoted to gathering information about pollution and its control, little attention has been paid to the analysis of relationships between pollution distribution and town planning.

Two‐Step Thermal Upcycling of Flexible Printed Circuit Board Waste Into Metallic Copper Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Characterization

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐step thermal upcycling process converts flexible printed circuit board waste into high‐purity copper nanoparticles using polymer degradation and arc discharge. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibit controlled morphology and high metal purity.

Effects of CaCO3 particle size and mass concentration on gas explosion suppression under CO2 inerting conditions

Gong-kuang zidonghua
To investigate the effect of CaCO3 on gas explosion suppression under CO2 inerting conditions, gas-solid combined explosion suppression experiments using CO2 and CaCO3 were conducted in a 60 L constant-volume combustion chamber.

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.

Managing our urban future

International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2000
Abstract Urban growth is inevitable over the next two decades. The bulk of this growth will take place in less developed countries. This presents a formidable challenge for urban planers and managers. With this in mind this paper considers some of the ways urban planners can respond to this challenge. The discussion is divided into four sections. The
