This work is an extension of PedCTM, an aggregate and transient cell transmission model for multidirectional pedestrian flows in which pedestrian characteristics are assumed to be homogeneous across the population considered. Critically, one fundamental di ...
Taylor's law (TL) states that the variance V of a nonnegative random variable is a power function of its mean M; i.e., V = aM(b). TL has been verified extensively in ecology, where it applies to population abundance, physics, and other natural sciences. It ...
Carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the gold standard for the assessment of aortic stiffness. It is calculated by the ratio of pulse transit time (PTT) between two arterial sites and the distance between them. The precision of PTT estimation de ...
Energy needs at the global level are gigantic and steadily increasing while the need to reduce carbon emissions is vital if catastrophic climate change is to be avoided. In the Global South, a large part of the population still lacks access to energy, whic ...
The provision of energy at the local level by using renewable and local resources is increasingly acknowledged as a techno-economic solution for rural electrification. This work describes an approach for implementing microgrid projects at the institutional ...
In China, vast rural areas are currently undergoing “modernisation” via the application of a generic, expansive urban model. This modernisation is evidenced in the creation of new towns and road infrastructures – a process that simultaneously homogenises t ...
A growing population in Svalbard, reflecting an increase in scientific research and tourism, leads to an increasing amount of people exposed to avalanche danger. Consequently, there is a growing interest for a local avalanche warming procedure. The goal of ...
The total population of the United Kingdom is expected to increase from 63 million in 2011 to 73 million people in 2037. This is an increase by 16% in 26 years, which puts the urban infrastructure, particularly the transportation infrastructure, under grea ...
Current energetic context involving skyrocketing oil prices, population growing rates without precedents and increasing concerns about nuclear energy and climate change issues requires rapid, economically feasible and reliable progress in the field of rene ...
Today a crude oil barrel has five times the prize it had fifteen years ago, moreover, we have increased our global energy consumption by almost 40 percent since then and population growing rates are higher than ever before. In addition, recent tragic event ...
