Fractal Modeling and Fractal Dimension Description of Urban Morphology [PDF]
Entropy, 2020,22: 961, 2018 The conventional mathematical methods are based on characteristic length, while urban form has no characteristic length in many aspects. Urban area is a measure of scale dependence, which indicates the scale-free distribution of urban patterns. Thus, the urban description based on characteristic lengths should be replaced by urban characterization ...

Impacts of geopolitics and policy on Latin American biodiversity and water resources
Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract Latin America is a major agricultural producer with important natural resources. Efforts have been made to protect sensitive areas but are hindered by agricultural trade disruptions outside the control of individual countries due to globally integrated crop markets.

A comparison of simple models for urban morphogenesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The spatial distribution of population and activities within urban areas, or urban form at the mesoscopic scale, is the outcome of multiple antagonist processes. We propose in this paper to benchmark different models of urban morphogenesis, to systematically compare the urban forms they can produce. Different types of approaches are included, such as a

Assessing Agricultural Green Total Factor Productivity in Latin America
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The agricultural sector in Latin America plays a vital role in ensuring food security while impacting the environment. However, there remains a lack of analysis regarding the inputs responsible for pollution within its sub‐technologies. Hence, this article aims to assess agricultural green total factor productivity (TFP) through a novel ...

Unbounded urbanization and the Horizontal Metropolis : the pragmatic program of August Mennes in the Antwerp agglomeration [PDF]
, 2015 Parallel to many discussions in other European cities, the debate on a metropolitan Antwerp emerged at the turn of the 20th century, following the decision to tear down the old ramparts around the city in 1904. Once boundless, the old core became for the
