Abstract:

The generation of waste grows yearly. In a centralized approach, more trucks are dispatched to collect the growing demand, with a higher pressure on the road network and greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, a decentralized approach creates a network of distributed facilities. This study analyzes the impact of a decentralized approach for recyclable waste sorting facilities. It models waste generation, collection, and location of recyclable waste sorting facilities. This approach is applied to a case study in Montreal for polyethylene terephthalate. The case study computes two performance ind

Abstract:

Waste management is a significant and widespread issue that challenges many countries, particularly developing countries. Organic waste is a primary contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in waste management, making it a crucial problem to address. Proper waste management practices, including decentralized organic waste management, are necessary to address this issue. However, this decentralization requires the support of the community’s waste segregation behavior. Therefore, this study was conducted in Sukmajaya and Cilodong Districts to analyze the intention of organic waste sorting b

The Chicago School of urban sociology and its extension in the spatial assimilation model have provided the dominant framework for understanding the interplay between immigrant social and spatial mobility. However, the main tenets of the theory were derived from the experience of prewar, centralized cities; scholars falling under the umbrella of the Los Angeles School have recently challenged the extent to which they are applicable to the contemporary urban form, which is characterized by sprawling, decentralized, and multinucleated development.

Both algorithms employed puck density as a cue. Only the overall local density, irrespective of puck type, was found to be required which offers the prospect for a more simple mechan

Abstract:

To prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2019 has seen unprecedented demand for medical equipment and supplies. However, the problem of waste treatment has not yet been given due attention, i.e., the traditional waste treatment process is done independently, and it is not easy to share the necessary information. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, the interaction between parties is minimized to limit infections. To evaluate the current system at medical centers, we also refer to the traditional waste treatment processes of four hospitals in Can Tho and Ho Chi Minh cities (Vietnam).

The traditional literature on fiscal federalism prescribes centralization of redistributive tasks to avoid welfare- or tax-induced migration. More recent work shows that even if the redistributive part of taxation, namely progressivity, is set by an upper-layer government and lower-layer governments only compete via a tax multiplier, income sorting can flatten effective tax progressivity. We argue that upper-layer governments anticipate the impact of local income sorting and strategically adjust their statutory tax schedules.

Abstract:

Abstract: The growing penetration levels of passive and rectifier interfaced active loads can cause instability in an islanded inverter based microgrid. This may be due to the dynamics associated with passive loads and interaction between the control loops of active loads and inverter-interfaced DGs. This paper proposes a decentralized supplementary control loop around each inverter-interfaced distributed generation (DG) unit to mitigate the instability caused by both the active as well as passive loads. The proposed control loop is based on a robust linear quadratic regulator with prescribed

Abstract:

A hybrid particulate swarm optimization (hybrid) combination of an optimization algorithm of the particle swarm and a variable neighborhood search algorithm is proposed for the multi-objective permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSP) with the smallest cumulative completion time and the smallest total flow time. Algorithm for hybrid particulate swarm optimization (HPSO) is applied to maintain a fair combination of centralized search with decentralized search. The Nawaz-Enscore-Ham )NEH) heuristic algorithm in this hybrid algorithm is used to initialize populations in order to improve the

Abstract:

Most insects encountered in the field are initially entomological dark matter in that they cannot be identified to species while alive. This explains the enduring quest for efficient ways to identify collected specimens. Morphological tools came first but are now routinely replaced or complemented with DNA barcodes. Initially too expensive for widespread use, these barcodes have since evolved into powerful tools for specimen identification and sorting, given that the evolution of sequencing approaches has dramatically reduced the cost of barcodes, thus enabling decentralized deployment across

Abstract:

Introduction: Water scarcity and water pollution are two major issues in India. Circular economy-based wastewater treatment technology provides the most sustainable solutions for solving these issues. In this paper, a novel multi-objective decentralized controller (MODC) is proposed for benchmarking a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to achieve maximum effluent quality with minimum cost. WWTPs with conventional control schemes consume more energy to achieve the desired effluent quality.Methods: In this study, a MIMO model is developed for the a

Abstract:

Research in sub-Saharan Africa has shown failures in most of municipal waste composting initiatives because of bad-quality composts due to the lack of biowaste source segregation. Until now, very few biowaste source-segregation initiatives have been carried out on this part of the world. This study aimed at assessing the biowaste sorting efficiency and the attitude of households towards a pilot biowaste source-segregation system linked to a decentralized composting plant in Tiassalé. For this purpose, the impurity rate of source-segregated biowaste was monitored through the first year of imple

AbstractDynamic rerouting has been touted as a solution for urban traffic congestion. However, its implementation is stymied by the complexity of urban traffic. To address this, recent studies suggest the efficacy of novel technologies like fog computing and deep reinforcement learning. However, there exist significant challenges in this regard: (1) sorting massive amounts of data associated with large urban networks, (2) large action space that hinders learning efficiency, (3) impairment of rerouting efficacy due to overreliance on regional/local information, and (4) the issue of congestion s
