While pre-trained large language models have exhibited impressive performance in general domain conversations, the effectiveness in medical applications remains limited due to the scarcity and inferior quality of domain-specific corpora. We introduce a domain knowledge augmented medical conversation system in Chinese, constructed on an advanced large language model with a reduced carbon footprint to support sustainable smart city development. The overall performance is enhanced through three key innovations, including retrieval augmentation from domain knowledge, dynamic masking training strategy, and prompt augmentation with question intention training data. To the best of our knowledge, this research represents initial efforts to integrate knowledge augmentation into a large language model-based medical conversation system in Chinese while actively controlling its environmental impact. Comparative experiments against state-of-the-art baseline models using comprehensive Chinese medical domain benchmark datasets demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed medical conversation system. The experimental results show remarkable improvements, with approximately 2% to 4% enhancement across evaluation metrics, underscoring the potential to facilitate smart healthcare services for sustainable smart cities. Future directions will concentrate on extending the Chinese domain-specific corpora, developing a multilingual medical conversation system, and designing efficient algorithms for refining the medical conversation system, which aims to reduce the carbon footprint while enhancing performance and generalization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48659,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Cities and Society","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 106444"},"PeriodicalIF":10.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144131447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the effectiveness of potential interventions for mitigating post-flood impacts on URTS operations, this research introduces a novel application of genetic algorithms to optimise recovery resource scheduling for URTSs following large-scale flood-induced disruptions. The objective is to reduce economic impacts related to revenue loss and operational impacts concerning disruptions to passenger travel. By systematically integrating network topology, operational performance, flood disruption scenarios, and recovery profiles, the methodology is demonstrated through the London URTS under 30-year, 100-year, and 1,000-year flood risk scenarios. Compared to a topological attribute-determined benchmark, the optimised resource scheduling solutions have a tangible effect in reducing post-flood impacts. In the London case study, revenue loss can be reduced by 10.9%, 10.7%, and 6.7% across the respective flood scenarios, corresponding to savings of approximately £337K, £708K, and £760K, along with decreased unmet travel demand of 197K, 404K and 470K.

A service period assessment method was employed to evaluate the sustainability gains for the optimized layouts provided by redundancy strategies. The findings indicated that both parallel pipeline and redundant path strategies significantly improve sustainability, with pronounced effectiveness in decentralized and centralized layouts, respectively. Additionally, these strategies were more effective in addressing internal pressure of infrastructure failures than external pressure of extreme storm. Consequently, three decentralized green-grey infrastructure layouts incorporating both redundancy strategies are recommended for decision-makers.

With the SWMM-UrbanEVA extension, evapotranspiration of green infrastructure is better represented by incorporating vegetation-specific components, improving the analysis of the water balance for sustainable cities. However, accurate modeling of the long-term water balance is challenging due to the sensitivity of results to the chosen reporting time step. In SWMM-UrbanEVA, the results at each reporting time step represent instantaneous values. This leads to reduced accuracy in capturing temporal trends when larger reporting intervals are used to reduce the output file size. To address this limitation, we propose several changes to the code of SWMM-UrbanEVA. This adaptation, termed hereafter SWMM-UrbanEVA-AvgTimestep, computes and outputs the average of all computed time steps for subcatchment results between two reporting time steps. This change maintains the accuracy of water balance simulations by ensuring that total evaporation, infiltration, and runoff are correctly represented, regardless of the reporting time step. Our results indicate that while small reporting time steps are preferred for detailed peak analysis, the averaged results provide a reliable alternative for comprehensive, long-term planning and climate adaptation studies. In addition, we added a new option to export the results as a text file rather than just a binary file. It allows users easier access to the output results. SWMM-UrbanEVA-AvgTimestep empowers engineers and urban planners to analyze the long-term water balance, which is crucial for analyzing the performance of urban green infrastructure and climate adaptation for more sustainable cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48659,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Cities and Society","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 106475"},"PeriodicalIF":10.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
