The COVID-19 pandemic has affected public transportation worldwide, and its implications need to be evaluated and study deeply on all public transportation aspects. Therefore, an analysis has been created to examine the effects of the pandemic on pub...
The main objective of this paper is to describe a building process of a model predicting the soil strength at unpaved airport surfaces (unpaved runways, safety areas in runway proximity, runway strips, and runway end safety areas). The reason for bui...
Accessibility is a well-established concept in sustainable transportation literature; however, it is often measured through accessibility models that are still being developed. This article presents an accessibility evaluation model that applies mult...
Quinoa constitutes among the tolerant plants to the challenging and harmful abiotic environmental factors. Quinoa was selected as among the model crops destined for bio-saline agriculture that could contribute to the staple food security for an ever-...
This review examines the integration of advanced ultrasonic techniques and artificial intelligence (AI) for monitoring and analyzing concrete structures, focusing on detecting and classifying internal defects. Concrete structures are subject to damag...
Against the backdrop of rapid population aging, investigating the intersection and impacts among lifestyle, cognitive health, and retirement holds significant academic value and great practical significance for advancing the achievement of the sustai...
To support the sustainable transition of power systems with high penetration of renewable energy, this study proposes an optimization model for critical peak pricing (CPP) that integrates photovoltaic (PV) utilization and consumer heterogeneity. With...
As a dominant typology of urban development and a critical component of public infrastructure, super high-rise buildings have transitioned from a speed-driven expansion model to one that emphasizes a balanced approach between development pace and qua...
Planning the power distribution network is critical and challenging; the main challenges include the multiple costs involved, selecting the appropriate locations of different nodes of the network at minimal cost, and minimizing the cost of energy los...
This paper investigates the possibility of developing artificial intelligence (AI) systems capable of exhibiting limited cognitive processes analogous to aspects of human religious belief. The literature review pertains to the most essential cognitiv...
There is limited research focused on achieving optimal torque control performance of Switched Reluctance Generators (SRGs). The majority of existing studies tend to favor voltage or power control strategies. However, a significant drawback of SRGs is...
Rural regions worldwide face intensifying environmental pressures under the global sustainability transition, yet the digital conditions associated with high levels of rural ecological revitalization (RER) remain insufficiently understood. Existing s...
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, communities utilize unmanned vehicles to minimize person-to-person contact and lower the risk of infection. This paper addresses the critical considerations of these unmanned vehicles’ maximum load capacity...
Existing studies have extensively examined the factors influencing community resilience; however, insufficient attention has been paid to the synergistic effects of multiple conditions and differentiated configurational pathways under resource constr...
Vulnerabilities in conventional agri-food supply chains (CAFSCs) necessitate a shift toward resilient, localized production models. Within the Agri-Food 4.0 landscape, urban Controlled-Environment Hydroponic Agriculture (CEHA) systems address these c...
This study presents a novel integrated methodology for optimizing forest fire emergency rescue vehicle scheduling through the synergistic combination of a multi-criteria demand urgency grading framework and mechanistic fire spread propagation modelin...
Protected areas increasingly reshape land use rules, resource accessibility, and livelihood opportunities for adjacent communities. However, household livelihood resilience under protected-area land use restrictions is rarely explained by a single fa...
Practicing agriculture is a multiparametric and for this reason demanding task. It involves the management of many factors and thorough strategic planning in a highly variable and uncertain environment. Crop production is a function of agricultural p...
