The Impacts of the Multiscale Built Environment on Commuting Mode Choice: Spatial Heterogeneity, Moderating Effects, and Implications for Demand Estimation

Promoting the usage of sustainable commuting modes requires in-depth understanding about residents’ commuting mode choice behavior. This study presents an empirical study to investigate the relationship between the built environment and com...

Transportation Engineering

Abstract Transportation engineering is a multidisciplinary subject within civil engineering involving the planning, design, operation, and maintenance of transportation systems and associated infrastructure such as highways, roads, and rail...

Transportation Engineering: Theory, Practice and Modeling

Statistical Techniques for Transportation Engineering

Statistical Techniques for Transportation Engineering is written with a systematic approach in mind and covers a full range of data analysis topics, from the introductory level (basic probability, measures of dispersion, random variable, di...

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING AND PLANNING. SECOND EDITION

This book provides a good introduction to the subject of transport engineering. Separate sections are provided on: a) transportation modes; b) urban transportation; and c) traffic impact and transport studies. Transportation planning and tr...

Algae-Mamba: A Spatially Variable Mamba for Algae Extraction From Remote Sensing Images

To maintain marine ecosystem health, effective algae monitoring is essential. Traditional threshold-based methods and standard machine learning techniques often fall short in accurately and automatically distinguishing algae types. This stu...

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...

A comparison of regularized, sharp boundary and tear zone inversions along an MT profile in Sabalan geothermal field, Iran

This paper investigates magnetotelluric (MT) data recorded along a profile in the Sabalan geothermal region, NW of Iran. To find the range of relevant models consistent with the data, this study employed the so-called regularized, tear zone...

Test of ocean tide loading models on the basis of strain data measured at the Vyhne Tidal Station, Slovakia

Tidal strain time series recorded at the Vyhne Tidal Station are used to test thirteen different ocean tide loading models. Ten models have been calculated using SPOTL: EOT11a, HAMTIDE11a, OSU.TPXO72atlas, OSU.TPXO72, TPX070, DTU10, CSR4.0,...

Numerical simulation of irregular section underground structure shaking table test model

Based on the the large shaking table test results on irregular section subway station structure in soft soil, an overall time-history numerical simulation is conducted to study the nonlinear dynamic interaction of the soil-irregular undergr...

Observations on Stratospheric-Mesospheric-Thermospheric temperatures using Indian MST radar and co-located LIDAR during Leonid Meteor Shower (LMS)

The temporal and height statistics of the occurrence of meteor trails during the Leonid meteor shower revealed the capability of the Indian MST radar to record large numbers of meteor trails. The distribution of radio meteor trails du...

Modulation of Mode‐Water Eddies on Upper Ocean Responses to Tropical Cyclones

Abstract The modulation of anticyclonic subsurface‐intensified mode‐water eddies (MWEs) on the oceanic physical and biological responses to tropical cyclones (TCs) is investigated using satellite measurements, in situ observations and numer...

Estimation of the Thickness of the Lunar Uppermost Basalt Layer Based on Lunar Radar Sounder Observations

Research on lunar basalt thickness and subsurface features is of great significance to conclude the magma evolution history and explore the thermal evolution process of the Moon. The mission of Lunar Radar Sounder (LRS) made subsurface dete...

Two-Stage Framework for Efficient UAV-Based Wildfire Video Analysis With Adaptive Compression and Fire Source Detection

Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly important in disaster emergency response by facilitating aerial video analysis. Due to the limited computational resources available on UAVs, large models cannot be run efficiently fo...

MFEFNet: An Efficient Network for Infrared Small Target Detection With Multiview Feature Extraction and Multiscale Attention Fusion

Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) remains a core challenge in remote sensing, mainly due to low signal-to-noise ratios, small target sizes, background interference, and large-scale variations. Although existing methods have achieved p...

Reservoir geophysics

Abstract The concept of petroleum reservoir geophysics is relatively new. In the past, the role of geophysics was largely confined to exploration and, to a lesser degree, the development of discoveries. As cost-efficiency has taken over as ...
