The compactness of the shapes of 59 large urban areas in the United States from 1950 to 2010 is measured using an index of proximity based on the mean distance from the Central Business District to all areas within the urban area. Average changes in the proximity index over time are small, but individual urban areas have experienced much larger changes in shape, becoming both more and less compact. Larger urban areas tend to be somewhat less compact. Barriers to the expansion of urban areas including water, wetlands, mountains, and protected lands are associated with lower levels of proximity and compactness. Lower proximity is associated with higher urban area densities and smaller declines in densities with distance from the Central Business District.

Shape memory alloy (SMA) is a special metal material with unique properties, that is, this material can restore to its original shape through pressure or temperature changes after deformation. The successful development of Ti-Ni SMA in the 1960s, with the continuous deepening of SMA theory and application research, SMAs gradually entered the practical stage. At present, SMAs have been widely used in aerospace, biomedicine, mechanical electronics and other fields. This article briefly reviews the application of SMAs and makes perspective comments on the current problems of SMA research.

As power generation by renewable sources increases, power transmission patterns over the electric grid change. We show that due to physical laws, these new transmission patterns lead to non-intuitive grid congestion externalities. We derive the conditions under which network externalities due to power trades occur. Calibration shows that each additional unit of power traded between northern and western Europe reduces transmission capacity for the southern and eastern regions by 27% per unit traded. Given such externalities, new investments in the electric grid infrastructure cannot be made piecemeal. Power transit fares can help finance investment in regions facing network congestion externalities.

All over the world, construction and demolition (C&D) waste is generated in enormous amount which leads to various environmental problems. The waste is dumped illegally or into the landfills which degrades the soil and causes pollution. To eliminate the problem of C&D waste management, the concept of zero waste for building construction has been studied in this work. This study aims at finding out the possible research gaps in the management of construction and demolition waste and extant literature survey was done on the sustainability management using zero waste concept.

Sustainability has become a buzz word worldwide due to increasing concern towards environmental pollution. Milling is a widely adopted energy-intensive process in industry. Reduction in energy consumption in machining can greatly relieve load on the environment. This paper presents a methodology for enhancing energy efficiency by reducing specific cutting energy and maintaining surface finish, a major quality parameter. The current study focuses on the selection of optimum milling parameters set in Vertical Milling Machine for machining Stainless Steel and Bright Steel, considering Surface Finish and Specific Cutting Energy as output parameters during the process. The conducted experiments have been designed using TAGUCHI orthogonal array using Minitab 18 software. The cutting speed, feed, depth of cut, cutter diameter and work material are considered as potential input parameters affecting the output parameters of the milling process. Power consumption has been measured using a power analyzer. The regression model has been implemented using Artificial Neural Network on Matlab R2017b. The input and output variables have been correlated using ANN to select the best possible combination of milling input parameters.

Compacted soils constitute most engineering projects such as earth dams,embankments, pavements, and engineered slopes because of their high shear strengthand low compressibility. The compressibility behavior of compacted soils is a key soilparameter in the design of earth structures but it is not determined correctly owing topartly saturated state. The compressibility of compacted soils can be better evaluatedunder the framework of hyperbolic behavior. One dimensional Consolidation tests oncompacted specimens were conducted using conventional oedometer apparatus underconstant water content condition. Tests were conducted by compact the soil specimensat respective optimum moisture contents for eight different soil samples, of varyinggrain size characteristics and consistency limits, collected from Tirupati Region. Themain objective of this study is to examine the compressibility behavior of compactedsoils to propose a phenomenological model. It is observed that the compressibilitybehavior can be captured by hyperbolic modeling with model parameters involved inthe behavior being initial void ratio, e0, representing the initial state of soil and otherhyperbolic constants linked to this state. The data of 6 samples were used fordeveloping the model and the data of remaining two samples were used for predictingthe observed response from the model proposed. The data of published literature hasalso been used to predict the experimental behavior to bring out the merits of themodel proposed.

The inclusion of environmental clauses in Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) enables to incorporate specific rules on forest governance and Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) and to promote the implementation of forests-related Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs). This tendency might be interpreted as a potential way to improve the protection of forests since it would contribute to strengthening the international forest regime, particularly through the definition of new commitments linked to bilateral cooperation, and the possibility of applying trade sanctions for non-compliance. Some recent requests to the Peruvian Government in the frame of the US – Peru PTA indicate that further developments might be expected in terms of sustainable development and environmental protection. Since the European Union and the United States are the parties with the highest number of these types of rules in PTAs, this paper analyses how they have addressed Sustainable Forest Management and forest governance issues in their PTAs.

The hegemonic ‘smart city’ approach in the European H2020 institutional framework is slowly evolving into a new citizen-centric paradigm called the ‘experimental city’. While this evolution incorporates social innovations—including urban co-operative platforms that are flourishing as (smart) citizens are increasingly considered decision-makers rather than data providers—certain underlying ethical and democratic issues concerning the techno-politics of data remain unresolved.

The potential effects of high-speed rail (HSR) reach into many overlapping fields of interest. This paper summarizes the evolution of HSR and elaborates on the development effects of the HSR transport infrastructure. HSR can simultaneously become a core component of desired urban developments, while also having undesirable outcomes. Positive impacts will be achieved only if interactions with other factors and contexts are maintained. This paper stratifies and expands the understanding of the development effects of HSR at three levels-regional, urban, and station area-based on the economic and temporal nature of all infrastructure projects. There is ample evidence that at the regional level, the implementation of an HSR service disrupts the existing network of cities along the proposed corridor. The HSR network changes the accessibility of a locality. Better accessibility will change the mobility patterns and will eventually affect the development in the impacted region, reshaping the entire urban-regional system. The HSR is expected to play a catalyzing role in driving the spatial and urban transformation process. This paper emphasizes the importance of establishing a synergy between HSR and urban development. A synergy between HSR and other elements, like urban transit facilities, paratransit, station area development, node, and sub-center development, can usher in spatial and economic development, but an institutional arrangement across all the elements is of paramount importance. Such a synergy would enhance livability and provide improved quality of life opportunities in cities and regions served by HSR. Last, an HSR corridor is beneficial both to the settlements along the corridor and to the railway operator. An HSR corridor is also beneficial to the cities along the railways, and the station areas provide an important opportunity to harness revenue through non-railway businesses. However, achieving the full development effects of an HSR project may take decades. Careful pre-planning of the project and coordination amongst the stakeholders are necessary to accomplish a set of phased goals to realize the envisioned development of an HSR corridor.

During the post- independence era the mineral rich State Odisha has focused on its economic development through providing water for irrigation, harnessing mineral resources, establishment of different industries etc. But for the purpose land acquisition is a primary requisite which is resulted in large-scale dispossession of land, homesteads, forests and also alleged that the developmental flow is pooled with denial of livelihood and human rights. Thus protests against the land acquisition started for different projects from different corners of Odisha which underlies with the people’s perception and emotional attachment to those lands. The protests were not only for their land but also for their livelihood and traditional way of living which they fear to be under threat. The major concern of the poor people in land acquisition process is that the land which they enjoyed for generations as a hereditary asset will go permanently out of their hands. In this context Odisha has a long history of people’s movements but movement of inhabitants of Balarampur village under Dhenkanal District is unique and acknowledged as an accomplishment of people’s struggle. Thus current paper throws light on the resistance and repression in Balarampur village against Industrial Project for the unrecorded title of people over the long years of nurture of forest. This enlightens how the land acquisition is to be looked by both Government and project proponent from People’s perspective to bring a support from people than oppose the Growth. In addition, it should also be made to understand how the economic benefit out of the Industrial growth should encourage people to realize the benefit to them will be more than from their traditional livelihood.
