Decarbonising cities and the role of remote sensing for planning, developing, and monitoring low carbon precincts
Although space technologies are extremely useful to environmental researchers, the contribution that they make in monitoring city greenhouse gas emissions is limited to measuring those emissions. Standing alone, satellite technology is incapable of advancing the goal of decarbonisation. This goal will be achieved only if municipalities find local methodologies that reduce carbon emissions. Once...
متن کاملAssessing Police Precincts of Taipei City Using Data Envelopment Analysis
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to measure the relative efficiency of the fourteen police precincts in Taipei city, Taiwan. Our results indicate how DEA may be used to measure these police precincts from commonly available police statistical data for the years 1994, 1995, and 1996. To sharpen our efficiency estimates, we use window analysis, slack variable analysis, and output-oriented ...
متن کاملThe Case for Networked Remote Voting Precincts
Voting in national elections from the comfort of one’s home computer may never be practical or secure, but we argue that remote network voting can be both practical and secure. Provisional and postal absentee ballots, which trade some amount of anonymity for the ability to determine the eligibility of a distant voter, serve as a template for how electronic remote voting might proceed. We propos...
متن کاملEuclidean Space of City Space Syntax
We demonstrate that random walks embed connected undirected graphs into Euclidean space, in which distances and angles acquire the clear statistical interpretation. Being defined on the spatial network of Venetian canals, random walks afford a portrait of the city space syntax and measure its intelligibility. In the present Letter, we investigate the spatial network of 96 canals in Venice (that...
متن کاملUncertainties in decarbonising heat in the UK
Heating is arguably one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonise in the UK's energy system. Meeting the 80% greenhouse gas emission reduction target by 2050 is likely to require that heat related emissions of CO2 from buildings are near zero by 2050, and there is a 70% reduction in emissions from industry (from 1990 levels). Though it is clear that the use of the natural gas network will re...
