View ArticleThe estimation of property tax capitalisation in the Korean taxation context
The difference between public services and property tax rates is capitalised into home values. The aim of this research is to estimate the property tax capitalisation rate under a different taxation...
View ArticleMetaphor and the Anthropocene: Presenting Humans as a Geological Force
Intellectually as well as materially, the Anthropocene is a deeply cultural phenomenon. This includes its communicative form, which is a contested trope-rich narrative, even within the sciences. In...

The partitioning of mercury from the distillation process used to regenerate water-laden monoethylene glycol (MEG) in the natural gas processing industry is a highly complicated process. The...
View ArticleMetabolic profiling of a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans Alzheimer model
Despite decades of research, no early-onset biomarkers are currently available for Alzheimer's disease, a cureless neurodegenerative disease afflicting millions worldwide. In this study, transgenic...
View ArticleTransformational adaptation: agriculture and climate change
Climate change presents the need and opportunity for what the Stern report called 'major, non-marginal change'. Such transformational adaptation is rapidly emerging as a serious topic in agriculture....
View ArticleIn the Passenger Seat: Investigating comfort measures in autonomous cars
The prospect of driverless cars wide-scale deployment is imminent owing to the advances in robotics, computational power, communications, and sensor technologies. This promises highway fatality...
View ArticleThe pharmaceutical industry and natural products: historical status and new...
Owing to the high diversity of terrestrial and marine organisms, natural products (secondary metabolites) are some of the most successful source of drug leads for the treatment of many diseases and...
View ArticleMeasuring Ground-Level Urban Temperature: A Case Study of Suzhou, China
Ground-level temperature has an impact on human activities. As pedestrians involve physical movements at a walking speed, they are likely to seek out better walking environments. Ground-level...
View ArticleFinite element based bone remodeling and resonance frequency analysis for...
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has been extensively used in design of new prostheses for characterizing biomechanical responses induced in human body. Dental implant, as one of such typical devices, has...
View ArticlePolarization-dependent thin-film wire-grid reflectarray for terahertz waves
A thin-film polarization-dependent reflectarray based on patterned metallic wire grids is realized at 1 THz. Unlike conventional reflectarrays with resonant elements and a solid metal ground, parallel...

Seoul is a major global city with a history of over 600 years. Its development trajectory, current status in the world economy, and challenges faced in socio-spatial dynamics present an excellent case...
View ArticleEfficient, decentralized computation of the topology of spatial regions
The capability to query the topology of spatial regions is fundamental to today's centralized spatial computing systems, like spatial databases and GIS. By contrast, this paper explores decentralized...
View ArticleImproving housing responses to Indigenous patterns of mobility
Differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships to people and place are important contributors to Indigenous homelessness and tenancy failure. The concept of Indigenous temporary...
View ArticleComputational fracture modelling in bioceramic structures
Bioceramics have rapidly emerged as one of major biomaterials in modern biomedical applications because of its outstanding biocompatibility. However, one drawback is its low tensile strength and...
