The Low Flow Assessment of Padma River in Bangladesh

open access: yesJournal of the Civil Engineering Forum, 2021
Low flow or Environmental Flow (EF) assessment is vital to ensure the river and ecosystem remain healthy. Both natural and human interventions might alter a river. Therefore, this study presents EF requirements of the famous Hilsa breeding center in the

An Integrated Framework for Pavement Crack Segmentation and Severity Estimation

open access: yesBuildings
Pavement maintenance programs rely on timely and accurate crack assessment to preserve roadway quality and reduce long-term rehabilitation costs. Manual inspection remains the prevailing practice, yet it is slow, subjective, and exposes crews to safety ...

Transferability of machine-learning-based modeling frameworks across flood events for hindcasting maximum river water depths in coastal watersheds [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Despite applications of machine learning (ML) models for predicting floods, their transferability for out-of-sample data has not been explored. This paper developed an ML-based model for hindcasting maximum river water depths during major events in ...

Resilience of Transport Infrastructure Systems

open access: yesCSID Journal of Infrastructure Development, 2018
This paper proposes a generic resilience framework that is applied to transport infrastructure systems. The framework is based on prior research and literature material on resilience. The paper first reviews some of the relevant literature and builds a resilience model that distinguishes the attributes and sub-attributes of resilience.

Integrated Urban Riverscape Planning: Spatial Prioritization for Environmental Equity

open access: yesASCE Open, 2023
Natural infrastructure (NI) and nature-based solutions in urban riverscapes can provide a spectrum of environmental, societal, and economic benefits, but widespread implementation of NI strategies remain limited because of their context-dependent nature.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
