an adaptive version of growing and pruning rbf neural network has been used to predict the system output and implement linear model-based predictive controller (lmpc) and non-linear model-based predictive controller (nmpc) strategies. a radial-basis neural network with growing and pruning capabilities is introduced to carry out on-line model identification.an unscented kalman filter (ukf) algor...

A new movement in urban environmental policy, the circular economy (CE), aims to change how Europeans consume and produce materials energy. Cities are taking up CE challenge. This research inquires whether infant programs European cities include cultural heritage adaptive reuse of (ARCH) buildings. ARCH buildings exemplify central principal CE, which is a temporally long service life with multi...

Structural change of cities has long been a central theme in urban studies. Recent manifestations have described either as instances ‘adaptation’, often associated with flexible adjustment and reorganisation, or ‘transformation’, implying deeper more radical scope change. The conceptual difference between these two ideas, however, remains surprisingly under-theorised ambiguous the extant litera...

Abstract In the absence of strong international agreements, many municipal governments are leading efforts to build resilience climate change in general and extreme weather events particular. However, it is notoriously difficult guide activate processes complex adaptive systems such as cities. Participatory scenario planning with city professionals members civil society provides an opportunity ...

"Using published census data, metropolitan area population and employment statistics are constructed for several large Latin American cities in 1950, 1960, and 1970, and compared to similar statistics from selected North American cities. The Latin cities are experiencing decentralization of population and some decentralization of employment. Overall population density patterns of large Latin ci...
