Optimal water use strategies for mitigating high urban temperatures

Attitude toward the development of optimal strategies for creating favorable urban spaces for children with autism

Autism is one of the new emerging diseases in the world, and children who has it are one of the most vulnerable groups in the community. Appropriate urban spaces for the use of these particular children are always discussed in the whole world. In this research, we are going to take a step further in order to achieve optimal solutions for creating favorable urban spaces for children with autism....

Mitigating Urban Wetland Impacts on Downstream Water Resources

Wetlands in older urban areas have often been integrated into stormwater management systems and exhibit severe degradation from receiving decades of untreated and uncontrolled urban runoff. Vegetative diversity is often poor and dominated by a few hardy species such as cattail (Typha latifolia) or reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea). These wetlands may also be affected by legacy impacts fr...

Mitigating Emissions and Energy Consumption for Urban Transportation Networks : Simulation - Based Signal Control Strategies ARcHWS

Microscopic urban traffic simulators embed the most detailed traveler behavior and network supply models. They represent individual vehicles and can therefore account for vehicle-specific technologies. These simulators can be coupled with instantaneous energy consumption and emissions models to yield detailed network-wide estimates of energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Nonetheless, the...

Mitigating Strategies for Carbon Dioxide Problems

Microclimate land surface temperatures across urban land use/ land cover forms

Urbanization brings biophysical changes in the composition of the landscape. Such change has an impact on the thermal environment locally. The urban mosaic of land use and land cover is thus characteristically composed of local climate zones. The spatial variation in the land surface temperature across specific zone is studied for Bhopal city. The objective of the study was to understand how th...
