On sustainable land rent


Introduction This paper introduces the concept of Sustainable Land Rent (SLR), providing a comprehensive, multidimensional exploration anchored in the dynamics of its origin, separability, mobility, valuation, and the imperative for equitable distribution. SLR capitalizes on the economic mobility of land’s value to enhance community welfare and promote environmental sustainability. Advocating f...

Impact of Low-Reactivity Calcined Clay on the Performance of Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Mortar


Availability of aluminosiliceous materials is essential for the production and promotion of geopolymer concrete. Unlike fly ash, which can only be found in industrial regions, clays are available almost everywhere but have not received sufficient attention to their potential use as a precursor for geopolymer synthesis. This study investigates the effectiveness of calcined clay as a sole and binary...

Use of CAMS near Real-Time Aerosols in the HARMONIE-AROME NWP Model


Near real-time aerosol fields from the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Services (CAMS), operated by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), are configured for use in the HARMONIE-AROME Numerical Weather Prediction model. Aerosol mass mixing ratios from CAMS are introduced in the model through the first guess and lateral boundary conditions and are advected by the model dy...

Extreme Convective Gusts in the Contiguous USA


Most damage to buildings across the contiguous United States of America (USA) is caused by gusts in convective events associated with thunderstorms. Design rules for structures to resist these events rely on the integrity of meteorological observations and the methods of assessment. These issues were addressed for the US Automated Surface Observation System (ASOS) in six preliminary studies publis...

Electrochemical techniques and sensors for ocean research


This paper presents a review of applications of electrochemical methods in ocean sensing. It follows the white paper presented at the OceanSensors08 workshop held at the Leibniz-Institut für Ostseeforschung, Warnemünde, Germany, from 31 March to 4 April 2008. The principles of electrochemical techniques are briefly recalled and described. For each technique, relevant electrochemical sensors are ...

Accelerating segmentation of fossil CT scans through Deep Learning


Recent developments in Deep Learning have opened the possibility for automated segmentation of large and highly detailed CT scan datasets of fossil material. However, previous methodologies have required large amounts of training data to reliably extract complex skeletal structures. Here we present a method for automated Deep Learning segmentation to obtain high-fidelity 3D models of fossils digit...

Fishery independent survey datasets of abalone populations on subtidal coastal reefs in southeastern Australia


Assessing the status or exploited marine fish populations often relies on fishery dependent catch and effort data reported by licensed commercial fishers in compliance with regulations and by recreational anglers voluntarily. This invariably leads to bias towards the fraction of a fish population or community that can be legally fished i.e., the stock as defined by legal minimum lengths and spatia...
