THE DIGITAL LANDSCAPE OF SMART CITIES AND DIGITAL TWINS: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF DIGITAL TERRAIN AND 3D CITY MODELS IN ENHANCING DECISION-MAKING

The Digital Landscape of Smart Cities and Digital Twins: A Systematic Literature Review of Digital Terrain and 3D City Models in Enhancing Decision-Making

The digitalization of urban mechanisms relies on the integration of digital terrain and 3D city models.However, a systematic examination of this topic within the context of integrated smart cities or digital twins has been lacking, hindering reproducibility and interpretation of results.To address this gap, this study conducts a systematic literatu

Dynamics of Drops as Confined Systems Containing Nanoparticles-Reformation of Nanoparticles and Evaporation of Water

Brine is used to displace crude oil in a reservoir and its performance improves when brine contains nanoparticles.It is the presence of nanoparticles in confinements, such as at dynamic contact lines and in thin films, which is of importance.The Pain Relief investigators here have determined a fast way to obtain confined systems by evaporating a sm
