In this study, ecological models, optimisation algorithms and threshold analysis were linked to develop oral-vaccination strategies against rabies in fox populations.
Looking into the future, sustainability and ecological compatibility, further optimisation of material properties, lightweight constructions with structural adhesives and foams, bonding of composite structures and performance prediction with simulation tools based on computer-aided engineering (CAE) are major trends.
The role of lifetime management of civil concrete structures is explored in this chapter with an emphasis on its increasing importance in view of the optimisation of ecological, economic and social needs.
After the process optimisation and the ecological evaluation, resource, financial and ecological aspects were overlapped to find the scenario which is most ecologically friendly at the lowest costs.
These results will serve as reference source for urban planning, regeneration, land resources management, urban architectural design and layout, optimisation of the ecological environment, and construction of liveable cities.
Such studies have repeatedly demonstrated phenotypic differences among viral variants that may reflect optimisations to host ecological factors such as contact-rates to ensure sustained transmission (stage III and IV, Figure 1; [ 21,22]).
In this paper, the potential of using evolutionary algorithms (EAs), such as genetic algorithms and ant colony optimisation algorithms, for maximising the mutual information of ecological data clusters is investigated.
His research areas include process design, development and optimisation for value added products as well as ecological assessment (life cycle assessment of processes, services and regions) and comparative analysis of sustainability measurement methodologies.
This study attempted to analyse the spatial patterns and age structures of forest regions with different ownership type and to formulate suggestions for the optimisation of tactical planning of forest management planning by addressing ecological functionality at the landscape level.
Emissions, costs, ecological factors, and land use competition are all relevant criteria for this integrative assessment and optimisation approach.
