A New Approach for Reducing Urban Transport Energy
Abstract Worldwide, 50% of the population already live in cities, and this percentage is expected to rise. Cities account for an estimated 70% of both energy use and fossil fuel CO2 emissions, and urban passenger travel forms a significant share of...

Towards Sustainable Water Supply: Schematic Development of Big Data Collection Using Internet of Things (IoT)
Abstract Water supply systems in the United States connect raw water sources to hundreds of millions of water consumers through humongous infrastructure that include approximately one million miles of buried water mains and service connections and...

Global volcanic unrest in the 21st century: An analysis of the first decade
Abstract We define volcanic unrest as the deviation from the background or baseline behaviour of a volcano towards a behaviour which is a cause for concern in the short-term because it might prelude an eruption. When unrest is preceded by periods of ...

Household Water Consumption: Insight from a Survey in Greece and Poland
Abstract Determining the behavior of domestic water consumers can facilitate a more proactive approach to water demand management, and serves as the foundation for the development of any intervention strategies that seek to bring about sustained and ...

New estimates of CO2 forest emissions and removals: 1990–2015
Abstract Using newly available data from the 2015 Forest Resources Assessment (FRA), we refined the information, currently available through the IPCC AR5 and FAOSTAT, on recent trends in global and regional net CO2 emissions and removals from forest ...

A New Calculating Model for the Suitable Area of Air Cleaners Purifying Indoor Gaseous Chemical Contaminants
Abstract Suitable area is an important index when selecting air cleaners. The suitable area's models in corresponding standards in American, Canada and Japan are all set up according to the particulate matters concentration equation. The suitable...

Flash flood hazard mapping: A pilot case study in Xiapu River Basin, China
Abstract Flash flood hazard mapping is a supporting component of non-structural measures for flash flood prevention. Pilot case studies are necessary to develop more practicable methods for the technical support systems of flash flood hazard...

Mass Independent Fractionation of Mercury Isotopes as Source Tracers in Sediments
Abstract Since the discovery of isotopic fractionation of mercury in nature, mass dependentfractionation (MDF) and mass independent fractionation (MIF) of mercury isotopes are used as a tracer to understand the mercury cycle. MIF is a powerful tool...

A Novel Method for Investigating Photovoltaic Module Degradation
Abstract This paper proposes a method for the detection and assessment of the degradation of the photovoltaic modules electrical characteristics such as short-circuit current (Isc), open-circuit voltage (Voc) and maximum output power (Pmax). This...
