Residences located close to urban parks frequently sell at a premium. The increased home values represent a ‘capitalization’ of a park’s value to proximate homeowners and this phenomenon has been termed ‘the proximate principle’. The evolution of the principle from squares and gardens in small private estates to large park areas occurred with the development of Regent’s Park in London. The prox...

The authors present the results of chemical and mineralogical analyses of urban dusts collected in the spring seasons of 2015 and 2016 in three different parks of the Cracow agglomeration. The parks are located in the city centre, in the Nowa Huta industrial district and in a new housing development situated around 9 km west of the city centre. Mineralogical instrumental analyses included the S...

It has been observed empirically that each coe cient in a Parks-McClellan lter converges to a steady state value as the lter length increases. This suggests the possibility of obtaining lters that are near optimal while "re-using" lter coe cients from shorter lters in the design of longer lters. In the context of approximate processing this then allows a ltering operation to be done in stages. ...

Preserving cultural heritage of industrial sites has become a political issue in Australia and elsewhere with the closure of many manufacturing and engineering based industries, the needed modernization of existing industrial sites and the spread of housing development into areas that have traditionally been preserved for industrial use. The size of these sites makes it difficult to preserve th...

The validation of environmental impact indicators is a prerequisite for professionals and brokers in charge of Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs). In the specific case of industrial symbiosis indicators, this task is particularly challenging owing to the inherent difficulty in obtaining series of real data of consequence for the small number of EIPs and large number of organizations. Agent-Based Model...
