TL;DR: There is a lack of appropriate methodologies to derive the patterns of vertical building development using 3D data such as airborne lidar to meet future needs, and a new definition of compactness for vertical building developments was developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a differential transformation method was used to obtain the solution of momentum and heat transfer equations of non-Newtonian fluid flow in an axisymmetric channel with porous wall.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of customers and vendors in the diffusion of modern equipment technologies into the construction industry is explored, using contemporary models of innovation diffusion which move beyond the simple dualistic problem of whether innovation is supply-pushed or demand-pulled.

TL;DR: The spatial statistics of Local Moran’s I (LMI), G i ∗ and Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) on building heights are applied to explore vertical urban patterns through detecting the concentration of relatively higher buildings to show overall good performance of LMI and Gi* methods compared to KDE.

TL;DR: A green performance evaluation system that integrates both qualitative and quantitative attributes and provides an overall evaluation of the environmental effectiveness of a construction site layout is developed and will support construction project managers to create high-performance construction site layouts in more scientific and systematic ways.
