Sustainability Science and Planning: A Crucial Collaboration?

In this age of public skepticism about science, sustainability science offers a way to increase the application of science in planning and policy. This paper explores the relationship between science and society and the emergence of sustainability science. A comparison of the theory and practice of sustainability science and planning reveals the potential for a natural partnership. Based on the analysis, I suggest ways that planning may bridge the gap and build on the opportunity to strengthen its purpose and impact.     

Soil sealing footprint as an indicator of dispersed urban growth: a multivariate statistics approach

The present study introduces a set of indicators derived from high-resolution land-use maps with the aim to illustrate the spatial distribution, intensity, and diversity of sealed soils in a Mediterranean region (Rome, Italy) shifting from a mono-centric spatial organization toward a dispersed urban agglomeration. A multivariate approach provides a comprehensive assessment of Rome ‘sealing footprint’, classifying local districts according to different imperviousness profiles. Results illustrate the rearrangement of the land-use structure determined by suburbanization with higher soil consumption and lower land-use efficiency. The approach is considered a promising tool to inform policies for a spatially balanced and land-saving urban development.     

On the formation mechanisms of fine granular area (FGA) on the fracture surface for high strength steels in the VHCF regime

The fine granular area (FGA) plays a crucial role in the VHCF regime. However, so far, the uniform understanding or conclusion about the formation mechanism of FGA has not been drawn. In view of the significance of FGA, the current studies on FGA, i.e., the FGA size, the stress intensity factor range at the periphery of FGA, the crack initiation and growth process in FGA, and the formation mechanisms of FGA, are reviewed in the present paper. The role of internal hydrogen in the VHCF regime is further discussed. In the end, two important definite conclusions are drawn based on the present investigations.     

Place-making or place-masking? The everyday political economy of “making place”

As redevelopment and gentrification strategies globally continue to be aimed at attracting wealthier residents and consumers in an effort to drive economic growth, concerns for and interventions in the interests of social equity appear decreasingly relevant. Government, private sector and community organisations have of course worked together in different times and places to implement programs that are more rather than less inclusive – the variations always depending on the spatial politics of the context. This paper examines contemporary discourses and practices of place-making in Melbourne, and asks whether ways of thinking about urban redevelopment as place-making in this time and place are likely to enable the inclusion of social equity in these urban “improvements”.     

Uptake of Radionuclides onto Suspended Particulate Matter in Coastal Water

Distribution coefficients K _ds of several radionuclides on suspended particulate matter (SPM) have been determined with laboratory batch experiments using samples collected in the Kinki district, Japan. Most SPM in coastal water was retained on the initial filter of four sequential filtering stages (20, 5, 1 and 0.45 μm pore size), maximum K _d also being found for the SPM retained in this first stage. When the filtrations were not performed in series, however, but were conducted from the same tracer solution in parallel, the K _d values were identical for the smaller filter sizes (5, 1 and 0.45 μm) and were greater, by ca. 150% than those derived from the 20 μm filter. The degree of association of the radionuclides with SPM was ⁸⁵Sr<¹³⁷Cs<⁶⁵Zn<⁵⁴Mn<⁶⁰Co. The particulate radioactivity fraction of the SPM in coastal water was estimated at most 0.1 for radionuclides with K _d of ca. 5 X 10⁴ ml/g, i.e. which are highly associated with the SPM (2 mg/l). The scavenging effect by SPM seemed to be, however, considerable, the settling velocity being estimated at ca. 25 cm/day for particles of the Stoke's diameter of 30 μm.

Asymmetric CPW-fed SRR patch antenna for WLAN/WiMAX applications

In this paper, a compact asymmetric coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed with split-ring resonator (SRR) is proposed to resonate at dual-band operations for wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications. The asymmetric CPW-fed SRR patch (ACSP) antenna consists of a meander line, square-shaped split ring, and CPW ground plane. The proposed ACSP antenna resonates at two operating frequencies, namely, 2.48 GHz (2.4–2.74 GHz) and 3.49 GHz (3.25–3.64 GHz) with reflection coefficients (S₁₁) of −16.65 dB and −32.67 dB, respectively. The measured results agree closely with the simulation results of the proposed antenna.     

适用于无线体域网的动态口令认证协议

无线体域网中传输的是与生命高度相关的敏感数据，身份认证是信息安全保护的第一道防线。现有的基于人体生物信息的身份认证方案存在信息难提取、偶然性大和误差性大的问题，基于传统密码学的认证方案需较大计算资源和能量消耗，并不适用于无线体域网环境。为此，在动态口令和非对称加密机制基础上，提出一种适用于无线体域网的动态口令双向认证轻量协议，并对其进行形式化分析。通过理论证明、SVO逻辑推理及SPIN模型检测得出：该协议满足双向认证，且能够抵御重放攻击、伪装攻击、拒绝服务器攻击和口令离线攻击，具有较高安全性。
