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...

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 ...

A detailed analysis of some local earthquakes at Somma-Vesuvius

In this paper, we analyze local earthquakes which occurred at Somma-Vesuvius during two episodes of intense seismic swarms, in 1989 and 1995 respectively. For the selected earthquakes we have computed accurate hypocentral locations, focal m...

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...

New Occurrence of Seifertite and Stishovite in Chang’E‐5 Regolith

Abstract High‐pressure minerals in impact ejecta quantify shock conditions and provide clues for provenance analysis. The sampling site of Chang’E‐5 may contain distal ejecta, which is critical for constraining the impact events and interpr...

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...

FROM BARCHAN TO DOMIC SHAPE: EVOLUTION OF A COASTAL SAND DUNE IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL BASED ON GPR SURVEY

ABSTRACT A sand dune located near São Bento do Norte and Caiçara do Norte towns (northern coastal region of Rio Grande do Norte state, Northeastern Brazil) is rapidly migrating toward urban areas. To understand the depositional processes (e...

Review of progress in passive seismic reflection exploration

Seismic exploration is a key method for the study of underground structures. Active seismic surveys can acquire high signal-to-noise ratio reflection data; however, the operation of active seismic surveys is complicated, and the exploration...

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...

Green’s functions for geophysics: a review

The Green's function (GF) method, which makes use of GFs, is an important and elegant tool for solving a given boundary-value problem for the differential equation from a real engineering or physical field. Under a concentrated source, the ...

Spectral analysis in geophysics

Integrated geochemical evaluation of hydrocarbon source potential in late quaternary sediments of the Nkhata basin, Malawi

Abstract The Nkhata basin located in the central part of the Malawi rift consists of Late Quaternary (Chibanian to present;  6.02 wt% and S2 > 25.55 mg HC/g rock; 1 C: TOC up to 6.16 wt%, S2 up to 56.9 mg HC/g rock). The sediments were domi...

Terrestrial Remote Sensing of Snowmelt in a Diverse High-Arctic Tundra Environment Using Time-Lapse Imagery

Snow cover is one of the crucial factors influencing the plant distribution in harsh Arctic regions. In tundra environments, wind redistribution of snow leads to a very heterogeneous spatial distribution which influences growth conditions f...

Settlement process of radioactive dust to the ground inferred from the atmospheric electric field measurement

Radioactive materials from the accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (FNPP) in March 2011 spread over a large area, increasing the atmospheric electric conductivity by their ionizing effect, and reducing the vertical (downwa...

Landslide monitoring with interferometric SAR in Liugui, a vegetated area

Interferometric SAR analysis with a time series of images obtained from satellite has been proven to be a useful monitoring scheme for geomorphological changes, particularly related to the vertical dimension. The success of this technique r...
