Effects of adding bamboo fiber on various aspects of concrete performance: A state-of-the-art review

This review systematically examines the role of bamboo fiber (BF) in enhancing the performance of cement-based composites, with a particular focus on workability, mechanical properties, durability, and sustainability. BF, as a renewable and...

Designing Functional Carriage of High-Speed Medical Train – Systematic Analysis and Evaluation of Tasks, Functions and Flow Routes

This paper proposes a functional carriage design and an evaluation index system to improve the operational efficiency of high-speed medical trains. Hierarchical task analysis and human-machine-environment analysis were applied to model the ...

Accuracy Analysis of Convergence Monitoring in Twin-tube Shield Tunnels Using Mobile Laser Scanning

[Objective] Mobile 3D laser scanning technology is widely applied in single-tube tunnel monitoring due to its excellent measurement efficiency and high accuracy. However, the application of this technology for deformation monitoring in twin...

Hierarchical ordered logistic regression analysis of urban rail transit driver fatigue determinants: impact of emotion regulation and sleep patterns

Abstract Urban rail transit (URT) drivers play a crucial role in ensuring operational safety; however, existing literature lacks in-depth research on the underlying mechanisms influencing driver fatigue in URT systems. To fill this gap, thi...

Seismic Risk Assessment of Ancient Timber Structures Based on Improved Matter-element Extension Model

In order to accurately predict the risk level of ancient timber structures under earthquake,22 evaluation indexes were selected, including hazard of disaster-causing factors, susceptibility assessment of disaster environment, and vulnerabil...

International Conference on Transportation Engineering 2007

Proceedings of the First International Conference on Transportation Engineering, held in Chengdu, China, July 22-24, 2007. Sponsored by China Communications and Transportation Association; the Transportation and Development Institute of ASC...

Fuzzy logic systems for transportation engineering: the state of the art

Introduction to transportation engineering

The COVID-19 Pandemic and Transportation Engineering

The COVID-19 pandemic has been an enormous global disruption with immense economic, environmental, and social impacts throughout the world. Only world wars and the flu pandemic of 1918 are comparable in the wide range of consequences, inclu...

Enhanced Satellite Monitoring of Dryland Vegetation Water Potential Through Multi‐Source Sensor Fusion

Abstract Drylands are critical in regulating global carbon sequestration, but the resiliency of these semi‐arid shrub, grassland and forest systems is under threat from global warming and intensifying water stress. We used synergistic satel...

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers

Abstract Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and determined their characteristics across 86 debris‐c...

Searching for galaxy cluster-scale strong lenses from the DESI legacy imaging surveys

IntroductionGalaxy cluster-scale strong gravitational lensing systems are rare yet valuable tools for investigating dark matter and dark energy, as well as providing the opportunity to study the distant universe at flux levels and spatial r...

Termometría de dos piroxenos en condros de la condrita ordinaria Nuevo Mercurio H5, México

  En este trabajo se reconstruye la historia térmica de algunos condros de la condrita ordinaria Nuevo Mercurio H5. Con base en evidencias texturales fue posible discriminar las temperaturas propias de la formación de condros de aquéllas...

ICESat‐2 Pointing Calibration and Geolocation Performance

Abstract ICESat‐2 science requirements are dependent on the accurate real‐time pointing control (i.e., geolocation control) and postprocessed geolocation knowledge of the laser altimeter surface returns. Prelaunch pointing alignment errors ...

The Concept of the Geotourism Potential and Its Practical Application: A Case Study of the Prządki (the Spinners) Nature Reserve in the Carpathians, Poland

This paper reviews the recent use of the term “geotourism potential” in the scientific literature and proposes a new approach to the concept of geotourism potential. The concept assumes that every geotourism object has the well-developed fe...

Adsorption Preceding Wetting Front Controls Seismic Velocity

Abstract Rock elasticity varies with both humidity and water saturation, yet their combined effects remain poorly understood, although in nature vapor adsorption and liquid infiltration occur simultaneously. Here, we present experimental da...

ProtoMix: Unified Prototype Learning for Semantic Change Detection in Remote Sensing

As an emerging topic, semantic change detection (SCD) in remote sensing aims to both identify the locations of changes before and after events and determine the land cover (LC) classes of changed regions. While deep learning has demonstrate...

Análisis Estratigráfico Secuencial de las Formaciones Huincul y Lisandro del Subgrupo Río Limay (Grupo Neuquén - Cretácico Tardío) en el Departamento El Cuy, Río Negro, Argentina

Se estudió una sucesión sedimentaria que aflora en el sudeste de la Cuenca Neuquina, en el departamento El Cuy (Río Negro). La misma incluye a las formaciones Huincul y Lisandro que integran el Subgrupo Río Limay (Grupo Neuquén), y han sido...

Solar‐Wind Triggering of Substorm Onset During the May 2024 Superstorm: Coordinated Global Observations and Simulations

Abstract Substorms are often described by a loading‐unloading cycle, where onset follows gradual accumulation of solar wind magnetic flux in the magnetosphere. Yet observations indicate that intense substorms can also be directly driven, th...
