In this type of projects, the earthwork can represent up to 80% of the … time and effort to these calculations, finding the definite location for the lowest earthwork cost is very complicated and … calculation of the cost of the earthwork in a series of locations. The different locations within the defined limit are obtained …

An influential theoretical literature has observed that economic diversification can reduce risk and increase financial development. But causality operates in both directions, as a well functioning financial system can enable a society to invest in more productive but risky projects, thereby...

Efficient district heat production systems (DHSs) can contribute to achieving environmental targets and energy security for countries that have demands for space and water heating. The optimal options for a DHS vary with the environmental and social-political contexts and the scale of district...

Woody biomass can be used in different ways to contribute to sustainable development. In this paper, we analyze biomass-based production of district heat, electricity, pellets and motor fuels. We calculate production cost and biomass use of products from standalone production and from different...

In the Lower Rhine Delta of the Netherlands, the high water level is driven by a joint impact of the downstream storm surge and the upstream fluvial discharge, and affected by the operation of existing man-made structures. In scenario-based risk assessment, a large number of stochastic scenarios...
