Projet du parc linéaire de l’humedal Juan Amarillo, 2000-2018, Bogota, Colombie by Eduardo Samper Martinez

“…These ecological challenges became urban and technical challenges during the 20th century with the channelling and containment of the many rivers (rios) which course through the savannah, causing the loss of the area’s function as a filter and buffer zone for the rainwater and the rios that flow down from the mountains and the paramos. As a result of the intense urban pressure of the last twenty years, these wetlands are in very poor condition and have become even more vulnerable. …”

Evaluation of Building Seismic Capacity Based on Improved Naive Bayesian Algorithm by Yalong Li, Wei Wang, Bin Tan, Hongxia Wang

“…The research results indicate the following: (1) the accuracy of model evaluation is 93%, with model accuracy and recall rates of 0.913 and 0.93, respectively, indicating strong generalization ability of the model. (2) Selecting some actual examples of a building, the model judgment results are consistent with the actual results, verifying the correctness of the proposed method for building the model, which can be effectively used for determining the seismic capacity of building structures. (3) Applying the proposed method to the seismic capacity assessment of buildings in the Ta-pieh Mountains of Lu’an, it is concluded that the seismic capacity of urban buildings is common, while that of rural buildings is poor.…”
