Definition of Charging Fee for Drainage Services and Incentives Based on LID Simulation
Given the scarcity of initiatives to charge for urban stormwater services in Brazil and the need to recognise users’ efforts in adopting technologies such as Low Impact Development (LID), a proposal was developed for a stormwater drainage fee and incentives for environmental serv...

Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is a fundamental driver of terrestrial photosynthesis and a key input for light use efficiency-based estimates of gross primary productivity (GPP). However, existing PAR products are typically designed for regional to global applications...

Data and channel-aware device selection for split learning in resource-constrained B5G/6 G networks
Abstract Split learning (SL) is a promising distributed learning approach for fifth-generation/sixth-generation (B5G/6 G) networks. However, its performance is affected by bandwidth constraints and statistical heterogeneity in the data. Prior works have considered either channel-...

Nickel and cobalt are critical metals predominantly extracted from laterites. However, deposits with high iron content (>15%) and SiO2/CaO + MgO ratios (∼1.8) limit the applicability of conventional pyrometallurgical routes. In this scenario, hydrometallurgical processes, particu...

Abstract We study convex optimization problems on Hadamard manifolds and propose a projection based variant of the proximal point algorithm, called the Busemann hybrid projection-proximal point algorithm . The method replaces Euclidean hyperplanes by horospheres defined through B...
