DATA MINING APPLICATIONS IN TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

Data mining is the extraction of implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful information from data. In recent time, data mining studies have been carried out in many engineering disciplines. In this paper the background of data mini...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Environmental and Engineering Geophysics

Geophysical imaging methods provide solutions to a wide range of environmental and engineering problems: protection of soil and groundwater from contamination; disposal of chemical and nuclear waste; geotechnical site testing; landslide and...

Applied Geophysics

This is the completely revised and updated version of the popular and highly regarded textbook, Applied Geophysics. It describes the physical methods involved in exploration for hydrocarbons and minerals, which include gravity, magnetic, se...

Siderophore-Mediated Interactions Determine the Disease Suppressiveness of Microbial Consortia

ABSTRACT Interactions between plant pathogens and root-associated microbes play an important role in determining disease outcomes. While several studies have suggested that steering these interactions may improve plant health, such approach...

Biostimulants in Plant Science: A Global Perspective

This review presents a comprehensive and systematic study of the field of plant biostimulants and considers the fundamental and innovative principles underlying this technology. The elucidation of the biological basis of biostimulant functi...

Evaluating the Role of Enabling Conditions for Collective Efficacy and Character Strengths and Virtues of Teachers in School Effectiveness

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the role of enabling conditions for collective efficacy and character strengths and virtues of teachers in the effectiveness of elementary schools from the perspective of teachers in Marvdasht,...

Development and Validation of Adolescent Educational Package Based on the Lived Experiences of Hopeful Adolescent Girls Aged 15–18 Years

Background: Adolescence is one of the most vulnerable stages of development, and the level of hope is one of the protective and helpful factors during this period; the level of hope in adolescents, especially girls, is low, and since indige...

Exploiting the linked teaching and learning international survey and programme for international student assessment data in examining school effects: A case study of Singapore

This paper attempts to demonstrate the usefulness of the linkage data from two international large-scale assessment studies, Teaching and Learning International Survey 2013 (TALIS) 2013 and Programme for International Student Assessment (PI...

Screen Time vs. Quality Time: Examining the Relationship between Multi-screen Addiction and Marital Relationship Quality through the Lens of maintenance-oriented relationship commitment

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the predictive model of marital relationship quality based on multi-screen addiction with the mediating role of maintenance-oriented relationship commitment in married individuals.Methods: T...

The heterogeneous herd: Drivers of close‐contact variation in African buffalo and implications for pathogen invasion

Abstract Many infectious pathogens are shared through social interactions, and examining host connectivity has offered valuable insights for understanding patterns of pathogen transmission across wildlife species. African buffalo are social...

North African humid periods over the past 800,000 years

Abstract The Sahara region has experienced periodic wet periods over the Quaternary and beyond. These North African Humid Periods (NAHPs) are astronomically paced by precession which controls the intensity of the African monsoon system. How...
