Comparative Analysis of Green Hydrogen Policy Mixes of the EU and the US

Sustainable energy transition is the need of the hour, more so, because of the accelerated effects of climate change. This necessitates rapid, continuous, and persuasive political and technological approaches to enable an ecosystem of green alternatives for countries to support their net-zero ambitions. One such emerging technology approach is...

Comparative analysis of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm as applied to the domain of program synthesis

In this research the Metropolis-Hastings algorithmis implemented for the problem of program synthesis and compared with Brute, a best-first search, together with multiple other different search algorithms. The implementation and choices of the Metrolpolis-Hastings algorithm are discussed in detail. The algorithms are tested for three different...

From Deterioration to Revival: Approaches to the Conservation of Plastic Buildings

The four Futuro case studies (Futuro No. 000, Corfu-Futuro, Donaldson-Futuro, Munich-Futuro) presented in this journal document conservation approaches to plastic buildings and elements – in this case, glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) sandwich panels. They contribute to the definition of general conservation approaches, and at the same time...

MalPaCA: Malware behaviour analysis using unsupervised machine learning: Comparative analysis of various clustering algorithms on determining the best performance in terms of network behaviour discovery

MalPaCA makes use of unsupervised machine learning to provide malware capability assessment by clustering the temporal behaviour of malware network packet traces. A comparative analysis was performed on various clustering algorithms to determine the best clustering algorithm in terms of network behaviour discovery. The clustering algorithms...

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Different Organic Municipal Waste Treatments: A Case Study of the ReStore Project in the Amsterdam Neighbourhood

Within the Netherlands, approximately 8.5 million tonnes of solid waste are produced annually. Being the capital city with the most populated district in the Netherlands, higher municipal solid waste accumulation in Amsterdam is in existence. A substantial portion of the municipal waste in Amsterdam is categorized as organic waste, with a...

Spatial Planning for the Energy Transition: The role of spatial planning in facilitating the energy transition in Dubai

This research and planning project explores the influence of spatial planning in facilitating the process of energy transition within the context of Dubai. Energy use within the built environment is closely related to the organization of urban form and functions. Spatial planning can influence diverse sectors in urban areas including the energy...

Entrepreneurial governance: Challenges of large-scale property-led urban regeneration projects

Large-scale urban regeneration projects become highly complex as they involve multiple actors with different expectations. In general, the implementation of such projects entails building governance regimes at the city or regional level, but this often means forging partnerships between public and private actors to serve as policy instruments....

Comparative analysis of automatic approaches to building detection from multi-source aerial data

Automatic building detection has been a hot topic since the early 1990’s. Early approaches were based on a single aerial image. Detecting buildings is a difficult task so it can be more effective when multiple sources of information are obtained and fused. The objective of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of automatic approaches...
