The quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is increasingly important in spatial planning for regions, cities, and areas. combination territorial consumption-based accounting (CBA) approaches can currently be considered best practice calculating GHG at sub-national levels, terms informing local decision-making about the different climate impacts policies, both within boundaries a given...

Abstract To reduce environmental impact and hydration heat from high cement consumption in advanced cement-based composites, this study proposes the partial substitution by fly ash (FA) coal bottom (CBA) rates of 15% mass (7.5% FA 7.5% CBA) 30% (15% CBA). Matrixes were assessed for their physical mechanical characteristics though tests compressive strength, capillary water absorption ultrasonic...

BACKGROUND The flipped classroom is an educational approach that has had much recent coverage in the literature. Relatively few studies, however, use objective assessment of student performance to measure the impact of the flipped classroom on learning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a flipped classroom approach within a medical education setting to the first two levels of...

In this paper the author reports on the introduction of the flipped classroom integrating located, online and virtual world learning environments to support the collaborative lived experiences of a group of students and the educator participating in a higher education undergraduate art unit, Navigating the Visual World. A qualitative narrative methodology, A/r/tography, incorporating both image...

For more than three decades cost-benefit analysis (CBA) has been used in many countries as an important tool for evaluating public policies. More recently, participation of stakeholders in CBA processes has become an important issue for governments. However, CBA by itself does not provide a good environment for stakeholder participation. A major reason for this is the lack of spatial disaggrega...

In this paper, a digital twin-based assessment framework is proposed to determine which energy-saving technologies and strategies will work best in existing buildings. The based on twin that integrates the building’s hardware system, operational schedule database, probabilistic model of occupant behavior. A was constructed field measurements database integration for case study involving nine un...

The results of a functional analysis of problem behavior and a paired-choice assessment were compared to determine whether the same social reinforcers were identified for problem behavior and an appropriate response (time allocation). The two assessments were conducted in classroom settings with 4 adolescents with mental retardation who engaged in severe problem behavior. Each student's classro...

The automotive engine performance is greatly affected by the calibration of its electronic control unit (ECU). The method for ECU calibration is traditionally done by trial-and-error. This traditional method consumes a large amount of time and money. To resolve this problem, casebased reasoning (CBR) is employed, so that an existing and effective ECU setup can be adapted to fit another similar ...

In recent years, extensive research has been carried out by focusing on association rules to build more accurate classifiers. These integrated approaches mainly focus on a limited subset of association rules, i.e. those rules where the consequent of the rule is restricted to the classification class attribute. This paper aims to contribute to this integrated framework by adapting the CBA (Class...

A residential residence in Jiaozuo city, Henan Province, China was researched over two heating seasons, interior thermal environmental characteristics were monitored, and subjects ’ comfort investigated to evaluate the differences between different charging techniques. Charging by area (CBA) charge flow (CBF) is types used China’s central buildings. CBA mode based on actual home calculation cos...
