This paper attempts to evaluate the performance of an environmental mitigation banking system operating under different regulatory. Pricing and subsidization policies using system dynamics modeling and computer simulation. Pricing of credits is an important aspect of the banking system and complex engineering methods connecting cost to price and market have been proposed as pricing criteria. Al...

O UR capacity to exploit the electromagnetic spectrum allows us to probe the universe and disseminate information. As these goals are intertwined, so are the shared resources afforded to each. Careful management of the electromagnetic spectrum results in the ability to perform precise remote measurements of the Earth and the cosmos, while using the same spectrum to send high-powered communicati...

In recent years, many new districts in urban centres have been planned and constructed to reshape the structure and functions of specific areas. Urban regeneration strategies, planning and design principles have to take into account both socioeconomic perspectives and environmental sustainability. A district located in the historical city centre of Terni (Italy), Corso del Popolo, was analysed ...

Structural biological materials have developed heterogeneous and hierarchical architectures that are responsible for the outstanding performance to provide protection against environmental threats including static and dynamic loading. Inspired by this observation, this research aims to develop new material and structural concepts for broadband vibration mitigation. The proposed composite materi...

Forest environmental conditions are affected by climate change, but investments in forest environmental quality can be used as part of the climate change mitigation strategy. A key question involving the potential use of forests to store more carbon as part of climate change mitigation is the impact of forest investments on the timing and quantity of forest volumes that affect carbon storage. U...

Climate change impacts are seen within growing numbers of cities in low- and middle-income countries, so there is growing interest in the adaptation and mitigation plans and programs put forward by city authorities. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the constraints which cities face them in this subject by analyzing the case of Tehran. City has a commitment to decentralizatio...
