Therefore, infrastructures such as freeways have been built extensively in order to give the priority for private car using. However, large number of motorcar using caused problems for sustainability in aspect of environment, economy and society worldwide. Singapore has 5.7 million people living in a total land area of 728.6km2 by 2020, which makes this city state one of the most populated and urbanized countries in the world. In order to balance the increasing motorcar-using demand and scarce land, innovative approaches have been set for sustainable land transit. This essay describes background, institutional and policy environment of sustainable land transport system in CBD area, Singapore as case study to give the evaluation of the system and suggestions.","PeriodicalId":232897,"journal":{"name":"Architecture Engineering and Science","volume":"231 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114530556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the difficulty of diagnosing the fault of compensation capacitor, a fault location model of compensation capacitor based on probabilistic neural network is established. Firstly, the influence of compensation capacitors on the current curve is analyzed from the two aspects of the failure reasons of compensation capacitors and the influence on signal transmission. Then, according to the parameters of the track circuit, the important characteristic parameters affecting the compensation capacitors are screened. According to 4 different failure modes, a fault diagnosis model based on probabilistic neural network is constructed, and the BP neural network model is selected as the comparison experiment. The results show that the compensation capacitor fault location model based on probabilistic neural network has higher relative prediction accuracy and the shortest time.","PeriodicalId":232897,"journal":{"name":"Architecture Engineering and Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123288864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, our physical therapy and psychological therapy are receiving more attention to the requirements of new effective medical tools. At the same time, world-wide problems are getting worse, medical care has become the major expenditure in many countries/regions, and it increase significantly as the average age increases.

Therefore, this study is focused on geothermal energy and its application to buildings and its potential significance for energy savings and minimizing the carbon footprint. In this study, geothermal systems like earth air tunnel systems, geothermal exchange systems, earth sheltering systems have been studied and classified, based on their efficiency in different building typologies and climate, and factors affecting these systems are discussed, and systems selection for different needs and method of installation have been analyzed. Four case studies based on different geothermal systems in different regions and of different building typologies have also been compared to assess the performance and evolution in the field. Sustainable development is not the idea but the need for the future and minimizing the carbon footprint of the building is a step towards it, the use of renewable energy supports that step. Geothermal energy alone can be used for different purposes like electricity generation, passive and active heating, and cooling, also other renewable energies like solar for lighting load, use of biofuels for consumption purposes, will lead to an environment where the carbon footprint of the building can be minimized to zero.","PeriodicalId":232897,"journal":{"name":"Architecture Engineering and Science","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121366757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
