Uplift Risk Maps for Sewerage Renewal Planning in Deltaic Cities

A method was developed to identify areas where uplift is likely to occur during sewerage renewal. The results were presented as a map that can be used by generalist civil engineers in the early stage of the sewerage renewal planning process.

An Ecological Approach to the Supervisory Control of UAV Swarms

This research employs ecological interface design to improve the human machine interface of an existing ground control station for the supervisory control of UAV swarms. As a case study, a general ground surveillance mission with four UAVs is envisioned. An analysis of the swarming work domain is performed to generate a reduced set of means-end...

The comparable sales method as the basis for a property tax valuations system and its relationship and comparison to geostatistical valuation models

There is an identifiable theoretical relationship between the comparable sales method (CSM) of valuation as practiced by mass appraisers and the recent developments in geostatistical valuation models. The CSM is shown to be a special case of a spatially lagged weight matrix model. There is a less formal but clear relationship with Geographically...
