Constraint Cellular Automata for Urban Development Simulation: An Application to the Strasbourg-Kehl Cross-Border Area
2017
AcknowledgementsThe research presented in this chapter is part of the Smart. Boundary project supported by the Fonds National de la Recherche in Luxembourg and CNRS in France (ref. INTER/CNRS/12/02). The authors would like also to thank the Grasp Program of LISER for allowing cross-collaboration between the two teams based in Luxembourg and France.; International audience; Urban sprawl and space consumption have become key issues in sustainable territorial development. Traditional planning approaches are often insufficient to anticipate their complex spatial consequences, especially in cross-border areas. Such complexity requires the use of dynamic spatial simulations and the development of…
MUTAMENTI E PERMANENZE DELLA PALERMO ANTICA MUTATIONS AND PERMANENCES IN ANCIENT PALERMO
2017
La Palermo Antica si identifica con il Centro Storico, la cui complessità è il frutto dell’incontro di culture succedutesi nei secoli e che ha dato alla città la sua attuale facies. Questi luoghi sono oggi un microcosmo complesso dove i modelli culturali dei nuovi abitanti si relazionano al preesistente generando nuove espressioni dell’intervento antropico. L’analisi è volta ai nuovi scenari urbani, alle impronte, ai segni e ai mutamenti generati da un processo insediativo che vede coinvolti i nuovi residenti e le loro risorse, in un ambito che ha tutte le potenzialità per restituire Palermo al suo ruolo di capitale nell’ottica dell’integrazione, dell’accoglienza, della riqualificazione e v…
Sobre una escena de "hombre-ciervo" en la Terra Sigillata Hispánica
2002
Los elementos figurados que aparecen sobre la superficie de los vasos de Terra Sigillata Hispánica, nos informan de costumbres, mitos, creencias, gustos del mundo hispano que les dieron forma. Su identificación iconográfica nos aportará datos para la comprensión del proceso romanizador, de la asimilación por las gentes peninsulares de los modelos romanos, así como de la pervivencia de tradiciones indígenas. Analizamos en el artículo una escena, hasta ahora relacionada con el mito de Acteón, y aportamos datos para su posible identificación.
The climate change effect on the african monsoon region : evolution of the precipitation and atmospheric fields in the CMIP3 and CMIP5 simulations un…
2013
The fourth IPCC report in 2007 established the synthesis of previously published work onthe effects of climate change on global and regional scales. It shows in particular that no consensuscan be found with regard to the future of rainfall — and atmospheric dynamics- associatedwith region — African monsoon. This dissertation revisits this issue in the light of new dataand using an approach avoiding over-representation of the number of simulations available forone type of model and taking into account the diversity of models and their evolution in time :twenty general circulation models (GCMs) participating in the exercises CMIP3 (twelve GCMs)and CMIP5 (eight GCMs) under the A1B emissions sc…
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF ITALIAN CITRUS BASED PRODUCTS. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS AND IMPROVMENT SCENARIOS
2010
Though many studies concern the agro-food sector in the EU and Italy, and its environmental impacts, literature is quite lacking in works regarding LCA application on citrus products. This paper represents one of the first studies on the environmental impacts of citrus products in order to suggest feasible strategies and actions to improve their environmental performance. In particular, it is part of a research aimed to estimate environmental burdens associated with the production of the following citrus-based products: essential oil, natural juice and concentrated juice from oranges and lemons. The life cycle assessment of these products, published in a previous paper, had highlighted sign…
Applying a framework for landscape planning under climate change for the conservation of biodiversity in the Finnish boreal forest
2015
Conservation strategies are often established without consideration of the impact of climate change. However, this impact is expected to threaten species and ecosystem persistence and to have dramatic effects towards the end of the 21st century. Landscape suitability for species under climate change is determined by several interacting factors including dispersal and human land use. Designing effective conservation strategies at regional scales to improve landscape suitability requires measuring the vulnerabilities of specific regions to climate change and determining their conservation capacities. Although methods for defining vulnerability categories are available, methods for doing this …
Photovoltaic electricity scenario analysis in urban contests: an Italian case study
2012
Abstract This paper shows a methodology for the assessment of the photovoltaic potential in urban areas using Google Earth™ tool that provides either satellite images of the roofs of buildings or their number of floors by means of the Street View function. The applicability of the methodology has been tested on a selected urban area of the city of Palermo in the South of Italy. After classifying roofs according to the shape, orientation and pitch of buildings with different morphologies, the share of energy generated by the installable PV systems was evaluated with regard to the number of floors. Moreover the coverage of the electricity demand was investigated on the basis of the consumptio…
COVID-19, an opportunity for developing countries?
2020
The COVID-19 outbreak was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as global pandemic in March 2020. Considering the necessity to implement rapid response to control the pandemic and the fragility and the state of need of low income countries, it will be mandatory to develop a global approach in order to reduce the spread of infection and the creation of community viral reservoirs. So far, we could hypothesize a worst case scenario in which when the COVID-19 outbreak hits a peak in Africa and in low-income countries, the majority of such countries will be unprepared, with low resources allocated for affording the viral emergency and the consequences will be catastrophic with no lesso…
