Nuclear energy adoption pathways for SDG 7 in newcomer countries: Readiness barriers, technology options, and policy frameworks

Rajvikram Madurai Elavarasan, GM Shafiullah, Md Shahriar Nazim, Taskin Jamal et autres

The world’s shift toward low-carbon energy presents new challenges for non-nuclear countries. Due to the decommissioning of fossil-fuel power plants and the deployment of renewable energy sources, the need for reliable, low-carbon, and dispatchable energy production becomes more relevant. In this context, …

Geospatial AI approaches for domestic and agricultural water demand management: a systematic literature review

Trang Thi Phuong Phan, Rodney A. Stewart, H M Zhang, Khoi Anh Nguyen

Water is a vital resource for sustaining life, advancing human progress, and protecting ecosystems. However, climate change, persistent over-extraction, and land use changes have led to the depletion of water resources, land subsidence, and exhaustion of groundwater reserves. To address these challenges, …

Smart Water Conservation: A Behaviourally-Grounded Recommender System for Demand Management Programs

Md Shamsur Rahim, Khoi Nguyen, Rodney A. Stewart, Damien Giurco et autres

Water utilities are increasingly turning to digital solutions to promote conservation behaviours among households; however, traditional campaigns often suffer from limited personalisation, low interactivity, and modest long-term impact. Though computer-tailored and recommender systems (RSs) may offer personalisation, these systems lack a generalised …

Adaptive nested robust multi-objective optimisation for integrated precinct-scale energy–water system planning

Glauber Cardoso de Oliveira, Edoardo Bertone, Rodney A. Stewart, M. J. Sanjari et autres

This paper proposes an adaptive nested robust multi-objective optimisation approach to support integrated energy–water system planning decision-making under uncertainty for sustainable urban precinct-scale infrastructure development. The proposed framework aims to enhance overall energy–water system performance by attaining desirable conflicting technoeconomic and environmental …

Enhancing construction material circularity: An integrated participatory systems model

Isuri Amarasinghe, Rodney A. Stewart, Oz Sahin, Tingting Liu

The construction sector significantly contributes to resource depletion and waste generation due to its reliance on linear economic systems. While material circularity presents a solution by reintegrating materials into supply chains, existing research lacks a comprehensive analysis of the dynamic interdependencies among …

Urban community exposure risk assessment for industrial asbestos cement roofing: Coupled GIS and computer vision-based approach

Mia V. Hikuwai, Nicholas Patorniti, Rodney A. Stewart

Legacy asbestos in built-up urban areas poses a risk of exposure to the surrounding community through environmental exposure pathways. Better understanding the exposure risk of in-situ asbestos containing materials (ACM) presents to surrounding communities through these pathways can better inform its management …
