Yet getting the numbers right is only part of the job for engineers, economists and other quantitative modelers. Bosses, clients, colleagues and members of the public need to understand-and believe-the analytical results, or else the job is not done. Practicing analysts work in a social, communicative context which few academics understand and

Its practical meaning is the next: if P1 is the initial consequence of a severe disturbance, then P2 is the direct consequence of P 1 and P3 is the indirect consequence of P1 through knowledge of P2. The implementation of this criterion is made by using the fuzzy sets theory. According to this theory, the proposition P1 is represented by a fuzzy set A which consists of atomic terms representing the magnitude of the accelerations values, for each operating state. This set may induce a fuzzy set C consisting of atomic terms representing the magnitude of the kinetic energies value, which also represents the system stability condition. This induction is made by using a fuzzy relation table showing the relationship between the values of accelerations and the values of kinetic energies, under different operating modes of the system. The unlabeled set C is compared with six predescribed fuzzy sets Lj, = 1, 2,-, 6 which represent the possible membership distributions of the terms that represent the magnitude of the kinetic energies value,

Research paper thumbnail of Planning the Built Environment and Land Use Towards Deep Decarbonization of the United States

Achieving this goal in the United States requires a national, economy-wide transformation in energy production and use in five sectors: electricity, transportation, industry, land-based carbon sinks, and buildings. All of these sectors interact with planning for the built environment and land use, so planning scholars and practitioners have many opportunities to engage policymakers working on national-level decarbonization strategies. This article analyzes the consequences of deep decarbonization for the future speed, scale, scope, role, and relevance of planning.

The purpose is to illustrate the range and types of applications, contribute to a framework for classifying types of applications, and explore which modeling approaches are most appropriate for which contexts. To determine which model is most appropriate for which context, three dimensions are particularly important: the stakeholder and their problem (Who? Why?); the building type, services, and provisions (What?); and the process stage and relevant tools (When?). The case study summaries answer these questions and provide succinct discussions of the adopted modeling strategy. The write-ups also include pointers to full publications that provide further details for readers who wish to learn more. This chapter aims to provide a framework for determining (1) when occupant behavior becomes important for making decisions about buildings, (2) which tools are most appropria...

Research paper thumbnail of Estimating Lung Deposition of Fungal Spores Using Actual Airborne Spore Concentrations and Physiological Data

Although these particles have been measured within residential and occupational settings in multiple studies, the deposition of bioaerosol particles within the human respiratory system has been only minimally explored. This paper uses real-world environmental measurement data of total fungal spores using Air-o-Cell cassettes in 16 different apartments and residents' physiological data in those apartments to predict respiratory deposition of the spores. The airborne spore concentrations were measured during the spring, summer, and fall. The respiratory deposition of five most prevalent spore genera-Ascospores, Aspergillus, Basidiospores, Cladosporium, and Myxomycetes-was predicted using three empirical models: the Multiple Path Particle Dosimetry model, using both the Yeh and age-specific versions, and the Bioaerosol Adaptation of the International Committee on Radiological Protection's Lung deposition model. The predicted total deposited number of spores was highest for Ascospores and Cladosporium. While the majority of spores deposit were in the extrathoracic region, there is a significant deposition for both Aspergillus and Cladosporium in the alveolar region, potentially leading to the development of aspergillosis or allergic asthma. Although the dose-response relationship is unknown, the estimate of the actual spore deposition could be the first step in determining such a relationship.

This study investigates exposures to summertime indoor overheating and airborne particulate matter (PM 2.5) experienced by low-income seniors and explores the potential of natural ventilation on maintaining good indoor thermal conditions and air quality (IAQ). Environmental and behavioural monitoring and a series of interviews were conducted during summer 2017 in 24 senior apartments on three public housing sites in NJ, USA (1930s' low-rise, 1960s' high-rise and LEED-certified 2010s' mid-rise). All sites had high exposures to overheating and PM 2.5 concentrations during heat waves and on regular summer days, but with substantial between-site and betweenapartment variability. Overheating was higher in the 30s' low-rise site, while pollutant levels were higher in the 60s' high-rise. Mixed linear models indicated a thermal and air quality trade-off with window opening (WO), especially in some 'smoking' units from the older sites, but also improved both thermal and PM 2.5 concentration conditions in 20% of the apartments. Findings suggest that with warmer future summers, greater focus is needed on the interdependencies among (1) thermal and IAQ outcomes and (2) technological and behavioural dimensions of efforts to improve comfort for vulnerable occupants.
