The objective of this thesis is to investigate three economic issues related to environmental innovation: evaluating how private investments in environmental innovation react to technological policy; testing whether environmental policy harms economic perf ...
In the context of this master thesis, a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) was designed to store distributed air quality sensors data to provide a framework to facilitate the downloading, the analysis and in turn the understanding of the spatial distributio ...
Designers are faced with many options on material and technical solutions during the design phase of the building. Different studies proposing solutions and guidelines are presented in the literature. They help to guide the building project toward low CO2- ...
A long standing goal in artificial intelligence is to make robots seamlessly interact with humans in performing everyday manipulation skills. Learning from demonstrations or imitation learning provides a promising route to bridge this gap. In contrast to d ...
In China, Japan and Europe circular economy concepts are being adopted as a mechanism for utilising resources to support long term economic, social and environmental benefit. Australia’s unique economic environment will affect the way circular economy conc ...
Motorcycle taxis operate in a non-regulated, uncontrolled environment, raising public health, environmental and economic issues. Consideration of such issues requires an in-depth understanding of motorcycle taxis’ organizational and operational features. U ...
Graphical expression through mapping can be an essential tool to conduct urban analysis, capable of expressing contextual spatial distribution and providing complementary information to numerical analysis. Although urban analytics are central for most issu ...
This case study applies life-cycle assessment methods to the preliminary design of an office building in order to quantify the benefits achieved when reusing its load-bearing components. Results show that the production of the load-bearing system would acc ...
The growing desire to improve resource efficiency and environmental impact of industrial processes is directly linked to optimal management of heat, mass and power flows. The concept of industrial symbiosis tackles this issue by proposing interplant heat r ...
Microbial-induced calcite precipitation is a biochemical process of biomineralization. The process form mineral crystals composed of calcium carbonate and if precipitated into a sand matrix can lead to the formation of sandstone. The sandstone created in s ...
