Differences in mammal community response to highway construction across different levels of human land use

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.

Structural instability of nonlinear plates modelling suspension bridges: mathematical answers to some long-standing questions

open access: yes, 2015
We model the roadway of a suspension bridge as a thin rectangular plate and we study in detail its oscillating modes. The plate is assumed to be hinged on its short edges and free on its long edges.

Study of Floor Heave Mechanism in Deep Soft Rock Roadway

open access: yesDEStech Transactions on Environment, Energy and Earth Science, 2017
Flac3D is utilized to study floor heave mechanism and propose corresponding solving method of floor bolt-grouting in roadways under 550m in Longmei company. In addition, Flac3D can perform the simulation of stress field and displacement field and plastic zone in order to improve rationality of the scheme.

Monitoring the effects of ovariectomy on seasonal movement behavior in suburban female white‐tailed deer using internet of things‐enabled devices

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Abundant deer populations often cause conflicts in suburban communities, yet traditional population reduction methods, such as controlled hunting, can be challenging to implement. Fertility control, specifically through ovariectomy, can limit reproduction and reduce populations in certain settings, but its effect on movement behavior remains poorly ...

STREETS AS STAGES: Traffic Enforcement and the Competition for Cultural Growth in China

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In keeping with China’s desire to build soft power to parallel its economic growth, the policing of city streets has moved to the forefront as a mechanism for moral regulation and improving urban prestige. Under pressure to civilize their citizenry, many Chinese cities have become entrepreneurial cities within a type of cultural growth ...

Transportation Futures: Policy Scenarios for Achieving Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets, MNTRC Report 12-11 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is well established that GHG emissions must be reduced by 50% to 80% by 2050 in order to limit global temperature increase to 2°C. Achieving reductions of this magnitude in the transportation sector is a challenge and requires a multitude of policies ...

CONSULTANCY STATE: Government as (a) Service and the Anti‐politics of Technological Expertise in Indian Cities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses ideas of ‘good governance through technology’ in India that first emerged from the software industry, symbolizing state support for the ‘new middle‐class’ values of liberalized private enterprise. We suggest that the contemporary prominence of consulting firms in government represents a second transformation that embeds ...
