The paper presents the design of municipal creditworthiness parameters. Municipal creditworthiness modelling is realized by fuzzy logic based systems. Therefore, current designs of hierarchical structures of Mamdanitype fuzzy inference systems and their analysis are introduced. Key-Words: Municipal creditworthiness, Mamdani-type fuzzy inference systems, hierarchical structures of fuzzy inferenc...

One of the typical design objectives of municipal Wi-Fi systems is the free or low-cost provision of connectivity for citizens, including people with disabilities and others impacted by the digital divide. This paper examines a range of municipal Wi-Fi implementation models for potential impact on e-accessibility. A comparative analysis was undertaken of sample U.S. and European municipal Wi-Fi...

The systems-engineering context of the solid waste disposal problem is discussed with a focus on issues in Saudi Arabia. A methodology was developed for dividing system interest into set weakly-coupled sub-systems that interact narrow interest. model interest, this case municipal (MSW) Arabia, then created and validated. development mathematical described used to investigate range scenarios fut...

BACKGROUND Biomass and municipal solid waste offer sustainable sources of energy; for example to meet heat and electricity demand in the form of combined cooling, heat and power. Combustion of biomass has a lesser impact than solid fossil fuels (e.g. coal) upon gas pollutant emissions, whilst energy recovery from municipal solid waste is a beneficial component of an integrated, sustainable wast...

The paper attempts a synthesis of problems relating to municipal waste management in Nigeria and proposes a conceptual knowledge management approach for tackling municipal waste problems in cities across Nigeria. The application of knowledge management approach and strategy is crucial for inculcating a change of attitude towards improving the management of waste. The paper is a review of existi...
