Blackwater, the wastewater stream with the highest sanitary and energy load, is increasingly seen as a resource within circular urban systems. This paper explores its valorization through anaerobic digestion and decentralized planning. Using Banja Luka as a case study, key energy, economic, and spatial thresholds for local treatment feasibility are...

This paper presents a critical review of passive and semi-active structural control systems for improving seismic performance and resilience. It synthesizes fundamental control principles with recent advances in energy dissipation technologies. Emphasis is placed on experimental validation to bridge the gap between analytical models and real struct...
