Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...

Neighborhood social environments and mental health among youth and adults in public housing
Abstract Neighborhoods influence health in part through social processes. However, little is known about how multiple neighborhood social processes co‐occur, or about within (vs. between) neighborhood variation in social processes and health. This study asked how residents of a large public housing development describe their neighborhood and used ...

Elevator dynamic monitoring and early warning system based on machine learning algorithm
In order to monitor and warn the elevator dynamics, in this work, the machine learning algorithm is introduced, and the particle swarm algorithm is used to perfect the model. The model is optimised, and the experimental comparison shows that the optimisation of the model parameters can further improve the accuracy of the elevator load prediction. Then,

Abstract Online technologies are required for accessing essential services, such as healthcare, transportation, and education. Challenges to online technology access can prevent resource‐constrained communities from connecting to these services. Human intermediaries who act in the middle space between technology and the person using the technology may ...

Synthesis of trimethylolpropane trioleate by using stannous oxalate catalyst
Abstract This study was conducted to synthesize trimethylolpropane trioleate (TMPTO) using a stannous oxalate catalyst and investigate the dependence of the esterification rate on reaction variables. The highest esterification rate of approximately 99% was achieved at a 2.75:1 oleic acid/trimethylolpropane, 1.5% catalyst amount, 180°C reaction ...
