The paper explores a framework combining remote sensing and spatial metrics aimed at improving the analysis and modeling of urban growth and land use change. While remote sensing data have been used in urban modeling and analysis for some time, the proposed combination of remote sensing and spatial metrics for that purpose is quite novel. Starting with a review of recent developments in each of...

Appalachia has higher morbidity and mortality compared to the nation, and suffers greater socioeconomic disadvantages. This article investigates the relationship of coal mining to elevated mortality rates in Appalachia. Total mortality rates for the years 1999–2004 were investigated in a national county-level analysis that included coal mining as the primary independent variable. Counties in Ap...

Big data analytics in smart cities has given rise to the new interdisciplinary field of urban science, which uses mining, visual analytics, modeling, and simulation create novel planning su...

Urban agglomeration is a higher stage of urban development. Exploring the spatial correlation functional areas important for promoting high-quality However, recently research on mainly focused how to identify areas, and they lack some methods analyze patterns areas. Therefore, firstly, this study uses POI data deep learning model four typical agglomerations in China. Then, we create new method ...

Our societies are reliant on metals to such an extent that the total amounts of some of them in the built environment are comparable in size to the remaining amounts in known mountain ores. Because of concerns about mineral scarcity, the United Nations has assessed alternative sources for metal extraction and targeted urban areas in general and infrastructure systems in particular, since these ...

industrial-scale r&d it projects depend on many sub-technologies which need to be understood and have their risks analysed before the project can begin for their success. when planning such an industrial-scale project, the list of technologies and the associations of these technologies with each other is often complex and form a network. discovery of this network of technologies is time con...
