Coastal communities are confronted with a growing incidence of climate-induced flooding, necessitating adaptation measures for resilience. In this paper, we introduce framework that integrates an urban digital twin geospatial dashboard to allow visualization the vulnerabilities within critical infrastructure across range spatial and temporal scales. The synergy between these two technologies fosters heightened community awareness about increased flood risks establish unified understanding,...

In regions undergoing rapid urbanization, such as West Africa, land use planning (LUP) is vital to accommodate a growing population and manage natural resources. Suitability analysis modeling widely-used tool in LUP determine the extent which area suitable for designated purpose, but there gap integration of remote sensing time series data into decisions. The goal this study was incorporate information with suitability analyses inform decisions urban areas. Kumasi, Ghana, cover trends...

Understanding the connections between built environment and travel mode choice is a major research topic in transportation. However, existing studies usually examine relationship through trip-based analyses rather than tour-based approaches. A tour consists of multiple trips that originate end at same place, which increasingly considered more appropriate analysis unit for behaviors. Applying approach, this study employs random forest to investigate non-linear impacts factors attributes on...

To improve the efficiency and benefits of agricultural product supply chain while ensuring its smooth operation sustainable development, we have established a performance evaluation index system for in context building an powerhouse. The model combines principal component analysis, data envelopment ideal solution methods, forming PCA-DEA-TOPSIS three-stage integrated model. In this paper, taking Sichuan Province as example, assess 21 cities (prefectures) province propose several improvement...

In this work, windmill palm fiber (WPF), alkali-treated (AF) without hemicellulose and bleached (BF) lignin were prepared buried in soil for 30, 60 90 days. The surface morphology, chemical composition, crystallinity degree, mechanical properties, residual mass rate of the samples, before after biodegradation, investigated. According to results, burial degradation can remove parenchyma cells silica-bodies WPF deplete droplets containing it has been 30 days (AF30), single cell wall (BF30)....

Detailed monitoring of surface atmospheric and subterranean microclimatic conditions has provided a new opportunity to interpret drip water temperature changes associated with climate variability. High-resolution multi-index was conducted in Xiaoyan Cave, Guilin, southwest China, for period four years (2011–2014) identify the processes that control temperature. The results show variations are mainly coupled cave air unless large discharge occurs. controls on depend ventilation modes...

Windmill palm fibers are an abundant lignin-cellulose fiber resource. Single can be prepared using alkali treatment method. However, these have hydrophilic surfaces, and following drying the exhibit serious aggregation. This limits their application as acoustic materials. In this work, both acetylation treatments were used to modify characteristics of windmill fibers. These caused surface become hydrophobic increased specific area free vacuum space fibers, thus lowering energy loss. Scanning...

The transportation system in urban areas plays a critical role evacuation and resource supply during disasters. Transportation diversity, i.e., the availability distribution of modes across community, impacts mode complementarity, which can affect population movements connectivity among spatial units—especially extreme events when failure one be compensated by other modes. However, few quantitative efforts have explored impact physical infrastructure configurations, more specifically on...

Windmill palm fiber, a high-quality cellulose resource, can be extracted from discarded sheath. However, the application of this abundant biomass in composite reinforcement is limited due to its hydrophilicity. In study, effects chemical modifications, such as treatment with alkali, acetyl chloride, and acetic anhydride, on micro-morphology, water repellence, sound absorption, thermal conductivity, stability windmill fiber have been investigated. The results showed surface treated alkali...

Windmill palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) fibre was obtained from different parts of windmill-palm trunk sheath and then treated by sodium hydroxide solution hydrogen peroxide to obtain the fibril.The appearance raw windmill fibril, morphological characteristics, statistical analysis fibril length, diameter, degree hollowness were studied.The results indicate that cylindrical has a sharp end.Silica-bodies attach themselves uniformly over fibre, forming rough surface.Spindly without convolution...

Optimization conditions for windmill palm fibril extraction from surface fiber with NaOH were investigated using response methodology. Thus, changes in and H2O2 concentration temperature occurring before after alkali treatment studied. A central composite design was employed to build the empirical model. The optimal weight loss established as: an of 1.93%, 4.17%, 67.08 °C. Under these conditions, a rate 53.14 ± 0.27% observed. This is good agreement predicted value 52.99%. Changes optimum...

Purpose Stab-resistant body armor (SRBA) is used to protect the from sharp knives. However, most SRBA materials currently have disadvantages of large weight and thickness. This paper aims prepare lightweight high-performance by 3D printing truss structure resin-filling method. Design/methodology/approach The stab resistance was prepared fused deposition modeling method, composite formed after filling with resin for dynamic quasi-static tests. optimized structural plate can meet standard...
