The effects of changes in recycling patterns on United Kingdom resource consumption
… of further investigation into potential resource savings through increased recycling. The other factors listed above are accounted for in the modelling technique employed. United Kingdom copper flows are qualitatively and statistically described for the years 1949 - 1976. Less accurate …

Modeling the resource consumption of Housing in New Orleans using System Dynamics
… Systems Dynamics as a methodology to analyze the resource requirements of New Orleans as it recovers from Hurricane Katrina. It examines the behavior of the city as a system of stocks, flows and time delays at a macro-level. The models used to simulate this behavior are compared to historic data. …

A global typology of cities : classification tree analysis of urban resource consumption
… out to develop a typology of urban metabolic (or resource consumption) profiles for 155 globally representative cities. Classification tree analysis was used to develop a model for determining how certain predictor (or independent) variables are related to levels of resource consumption. These …

Genetic Programming for Low-Resource Systems
… of ubiquitous computing whereby lightweight, low-resource systems are being deployed on a vast scale. These systems present new engineering challenges: high-volume production places a stronger emphasis on absolute cost, resources available to executing software are highly constrained, and physical …

Design optimization of thermal paths in spacecraft systems
… performance and decrease reliance on system resources, e.g., mass. Thermal design optimization has lagged other subsystems because the thermal subsystem is not thought to significantly drive performance or resource consumption. However, there are factors present in many spacecraft systems …

Environmental and economic assessment of alternative transportation fuels
… a cost-benefit framework, taking into account resource consumption, human health impacts related to air quality, and climate damage. We find that aircraft operators can save up to 14% on fuel expenses (retrofit costs included) by employing LNG retrofits, with a 95% confidence interval of 2-23%. …

Synthetic analog feedback control circuits in living cells
… high-order feedback, cross talk, loading, and resource consumption in biology. In contrast, analog circuit design is the nearly 100-year-old art of crafting and analyzing nonlinear, stochastic, coupled differential equations to perform a desired task, often to given speed, precision, input …
