Land Use Zoning and Human Diversity: Exploring the Connection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: City planners are rallying against social and economic segregation by enacting regulatory changes, particularly zoning reform. Land use zoning, many argue, is one of the most potent tools planners have to enact change in ...
Role of Walkability in Driving Home Values
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Automated Portal Placement for Arthroscopic Hip Surgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Placing portal incisions during arthroscopic hip surgery presents challenges for surgeons in terms of anatomic accessibility and patient safety. Based on key anatomic landmarks and portal placement information from recent ...
Life-Cycle Costing for Distributed Stormwater Control Measures on the Gray-Green Continuum: A Planning-Level Tool
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Managing stormwater is an important element of sustainable water management. Access to multiple types of stormwater control measures (SCMs) along the gray-green continuum presents decision makers with flexibility in managing ...
Consistent Terminology and Reporting Are Needed to Describe Water Quantity Use
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The value of water use quantification assessments is hindered by the use of inconsistent terminology and reporting standards. Challenges associated with data collection and maintenance are made unnecessarily worse by the ...
Forecasting with Reference to a Specific Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easonal forecasts are most commonly issued as anomalies with respect to some multiyear reference period. However, different seasonal forecasting centers use different reference periods. This paper shows that for near-surface ...
Verification of Postprocessed Summer Temperature Forecasts at U.K. Sites Using Observed Climate-Based Thresholds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe full range of ensemble forecast members, expressed in percentile format, can give additional valuable information to users compared to a deterministic solution. This study contains the first rigorous assessment ...
Communication Science for Science Communication: Water Management for Oil and Natural Gas Extraction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water management for oil and natural gas extraction in the United States has become a topic of public interest and concern. This societal relevance simultaneously heightens the need for rigorous performance and dissemination ...
Complex Adaptive Systems Framework to Assess Supply-Side and Demand-Side Management for Urban Water Resources
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The availability of water resources in many urbanizing areas is the emergent property of the adaptive interactions among consumers, policy, and the hydrologic cycle. As water availability becomes more stressed, public ...
Using Agent-Based Modeling for Water Resources Planning and Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Agent-based systems have been developed for many scientific applications and simulation studies to model a group of actors and their interactions based on behavioral rules. Agent-based models and multiagent systems simulate ...
