Abstract:

The construction industry in Ukraine is an important component of social production and a key basis for improving the quality of life and accelerating innovative economic development. State regulation of the construction sector of residential real estate can be carried out with the help of certain leverages. The effectiveness of public policy depends on the correct choice of a leverages or a combination of several tools.

Abstract:

To interpret the sensory environment, the brain combines ambiguous sensory measurements with knowledge that reflects context-specific prior experience. But environmental contexts can change abruptly and unpredictably, resulting in uncertainty about the current context. Here we address two questions: how should context-specific prior knowledge optimally guide the interpretation of sensory stimuli in changing environments, and do human decision-making strategies resemble this optimum? We probe these questions with a task in which subjects report the orientation of ambiguous visual stimuli that w

Rivers deliver significant macronutrients and sediments to lakes that can vary substantially throughout the year. These nutrient and sediment loadings, exacerbated by winter and spring runoff, impact aquatic ecosystem productivity and drive the formation of harmful algae blooms.

Abstract:

AbstractLife Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an essential tool for quantifying the environmental burdens of products and processes, critical for advancing sustainability goals. Central to the effectiveness of LCA is the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) phase, which requires reliable data to reflect the environmental footprint of products accurately. However, LCA practitioners often encounter data gaps that can compromise the assessment’s accuracy. To address this, we explore the integration of Machine Learning (ML) to enhance LCA data quality, particularly in the LCI stages B to D, which focus on product use, end-of-life, and beyond-life phases. This chapter introduces a novel framework that leverages ML to overcome LCI data challenges, emphasizing reducing the embodied carbon of construction products. We extract existing data from the Environment Product Declaration online library and apply natural language processing to interpret this unstructured data. Subsequently, we employ a random forest algorithm, a robust ensemble tree-based ML method, to refine the data analysis. We present a pilot study that validates the feasibility of our ML-enhanced framework. The incorporation of ML addresses the voluminous data in LCA. It augments the analytical capacity, thereby improving the precision and reliability of both LCI and Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) datasets. Consequently, our approach yields higher quality LCA outcomes, offering a more reliable basis for environmental impact evaluation. In summary, the successful application of ML in this research bridges the critical data gap in LCI for construction products, paving the way for a more sustainable industry through improved accuracy in environmental impact assessments and more informed decision-making in green product innovation.

Abstract:

The construction industry is currently witnessing a transformative period characterized by the convergence of the green and digital transitions. The green transition seeks to address environmental challenges such as climate change and resource depletion, while the digital transition leverages advanced technologies to enhance construction processes. This paper specifically explores the integration of green roofs, as component of sustainable buildings, into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) framework, a key enabler of the digital transition. Green roofs, known for their environmental benefits, consist of layers that contribute to energy efficiency, stormwater management, and biodiversity enhancement. To optimize their design and performance, this research employs Dynamo Visual Programming Language (VPL) within Autodesk Revit to create parametric models of green roofs. These models facilitate the evaluation of thermal and structural characteristics under varying water content conditions (dry and saturated). Results reveal that the choice of substrate and drainage materials significantly impacts thermal resistance, particularly in dry conditions. However, in saturated conditions, the influence on thermal performance converges, emphasizing the importance of structural considerations in both scenarios. The research also highlights various limitations and outlines avenues for future studies, including expanding the range of materials, exploring additional performance metrics, and incorporating AI and machine learning techniques. By addressing these aspects, this research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the integration of green roofs and BIM. It provides designers and researchers with a practical tool for optimizing green roof designs, aligning with contemporary sustainable construction practices, and promoting the holistic development of green buildings

Abstract Historically, subsea vehicles were controlled by communications through a tether, which presents several challenges including a limited range of motion, deployment and retrieval, cost and logistics, and environmental impact. These challenges inspired the development of a new generation of robotic solutions seeking to transform the industry into an economically efficient and environmentally sustainable model. Autonomous systems are increasingly providing economic and environmental value, such as intelligent robots with subsea applications in energy, defense, transportation, and aquacul

Abstract:

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) profoundly influences occupants' health, productivity, and comfort in built environments. Effective interaction with occupants to comprehend and control IEQ conditions is crucial in human-centered design for IEQ optimization. This paper presents a preliminary study that leverages three-dimensional (3D) virtual space to deliver IEQ data to occupants, enabling them to understand indoor conditions better and exercise personal control of IEQ. A survey was conducted with participants in a virtually simulated educational environment. For a comparative study, partic

Abstract:

Microbial communities act as complex ecological networks, crucial in diverse natural and engineered settings. These communities consist of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms that interact with one another and their environment. They perform essential functions such as nutrient cycling, degradation of pollutants, and maintaining the health of plants, animals, and humans. Systems biology leverages mathematical models to study these communities in a systematic and quantitative manner.

Abstract:

Abstract Marine topography refers to the configuration and composition of underwater landscapes, which holds significant importance for marine resource exploration and environmental research. However, conventional methods for detecting terrain and geomorphology in marine environments often struggle to accurately identify these features due to the intricate nature of the marine setting and data interference. To tackle this challenge, a proposal is made to leverage deep learning techniques for exploring ocean terrain and geomorphology. As the utilization of Side-scan Sonar (SSS) in underwater se

Abstract:

The impacts of explosive weapons use in populated areas are much wider and longer lasting than the shock waves of the explosive blast. The use of explosive weapons sets in motion a series of complex knock-on effects that spread out over time and space in urban ecosystems, with negative consequences for civilian well-being and the environment in which people live. These “reverberating effects” manifest across a wide range of interlinked sectors, including urban infrastructure, public health, education, culture and heritage, food security, economic prospects, and adverse environmental impacts.
