In order to support the decision-making process related reduction of land consumption into urban regeneration interventions, present research has aim define and propose a goal programming-based model that can be adopted for negotiation phases public private subjects involved. particular, proposed provide range feasible scenarios that, according specific purposes Public Administration, implement...

Pavement roughness is a critical airport pavement characteristic that has been linked to impacts such as safety and service life. A properly defined evaluation method would reduce operational risk, prolong the life of aircraft landing gear, optimize decision-making process for preservation, which together positively contribute overall sustainability. In this study, we optimized parameters Inter...

Intense competition in the current business environment leads firms to focus on selecting the most appropriate R&D project portfolio in order to accomplish sustainable growth in the fierce market place. Achieving this goal is tied down by uncertainty which is inherent in all R&D projects. Therefore, investment decisions must be made within an optimization framework, based on the data which is u...

This paper investigates how to efficiently charge sensor nodes in a wireless rechargeable sensor network (WRSN) with radio frequency (RF) chargers to make the network sustainable. An RF charger is assumed to be equipped with a uniform circular array (UCA) of 12 antennas with the radius λ, where λ is the RF wavelength. The UCA can steer most RF energy in a target direction to charge a specific W...

We propose a computational framework and strategies for performing tasks necessary for evaluation and optimization of land use management within an advanced GIS modeling environment. Such tasks involve modeling of landscape processes, simulation of impact of human activities on these processes and optimization of preventive measures aimed at creating sustainable landscapes. A typical example of...

In September 2015, the international community came together to agree on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a plan of action for people, the planet, and prosperity. Ambitious and far-reaching as they are, they are built on three keystones: the elimination of extreme poverty, fighting climate change, and a commitment to fighting injustice and inequality. Critical to the achievement of ...
