Decision System Based on Markov Chains for Sizing the Rebalancing Fleet of Bike Sharing Stations

Applied Sciences
Docked Bike Sharing Systems often experience load imbalances among bike stations, leading to uneven distribution of bicycles and to challenges in meeting users’ demand.

Constructing and Validating New County‐Level Cultural Capital Indices for Applied Policy Analysis: Evidence From SNAP Take‐Up

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultural capital influences a wide range of social and economic outcomes, yet quantitative measures suitable for policy analysis remain limited. We develop county‐level cultural capital indices for the US based on Bourdieu's framework of objectified, embodied, and institutionalized cultural capital.

Cobalt‐Catalyzed [2σ+2π] Cycloaddition via Site‐Selective Capture of Bicyclobutane Diradical

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We report a Co(II)‐catalyzed strategy that combines thermal activation of bicyclo[1.1.0]butane (BCBs) with site‐selective radical capture to furnish head‐to‐head fused bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes via [2σ+2π] cycloaddition with indoles. Detailed mechanistic studies (31P NMR, EPR, CV, and DFT) support the catalytic pathway, while phosphine‐oxide trapping and X‐

Dockless bike-sharing system: Solving the problem of faulty bikes with simultaneous rebalancing operation

Journal of Transport and Land Use, 2020
The Free-Floating Bike-Sharing System (FFBS) enables commuters to pick up and drop off a shared bike without going to a docking station before and after the trip.

Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.

Behaviorally Adaptive and Inclusive Advanced Driver‐Assistance Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Advanced driver‐assistance systems (ADASs) are mapped as evolving human‐centered, adaptive technologies linking sensing, driver monitoring, AR/HUD interfaces, patents, regulation, and inclusive design. The review identifies gaps in real‐world evidence, diverse‐driver validation, gaze metrics, and governance, outlining a roadmap for safer, behaviorally ...

Logical Support for Bike-Sharing System Design [PDF]

, 2019
Automated bicycle-sharing systems (bss) are a prominent example of reconfigurable cyber-physical systems for which the locality and connectivity of their elements are central to the way in which they operate. These features motivate us to study bss from the perspective of Actor-Network Theory – a framework for modelling cyber-physical-system protocols ...
