Local Calibration of Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide Rutting Model

, 2010
The AASHTO interim Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) was recently introduced in the United States. Many state agencies have conducted validation and local calibration of the MEPDG performance prediction models.

Road Rutting Detection using Deep Learning on Images

, 2022
Road rutting is a severe road distress that can cause premature failure of road incurring early and costly maintenance costs. Research on road damage detection using image processing techniques and deep learning are being actively conducted in the past ...

Cutting through the noise: What can habitat selection modeling teach us about caribou‐fire space use dynamics?

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We synthesize the current knowledge regarding caribou habitat selection in relation to wildfires. Caribou responses to recent burns were generally weak and highly variable across subspecies or ecotypes, suggesting that post‐fire habitat selection is likely context‐dependent and the need for regionally adapted habitat management strategies.

Using polymers to improve the rutting resistance of asphalt concrete [PDF]

, 2015
This study assesses rutting on two types of modified asphalt mixtures containing: (i) amorphous polyolefin polymer and (ii) a particular polymer obtained by combining LDPE (low density polyethylene) and EVA (ethyl-vinyl-acetate).

Hunting Strategies and Game Exploitation Organization in the Magdalenian: An Integrated Approach Based on Mortality Profiles and Stable Isotopes at Chaves Cave (Huesca, Spain)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding hunting strategies in Upper Paleolithic contexts remains challenging due to the complex relationships between prey behavior, environmental conditions, and human decision‐making. Addressing these dynamics requires integrating archeozoological, geospatial, and geochemical proxies capable of capturing demographic patterns, landscape

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) in Asphalt Binder: Homogeneous Dispersion and Performance Enhancement

Applied Sciences, 2018
Conventional binders cannot meet the current performance requirements of asphaltic pavements due to increase in traffic volumes and loads. Nanomaterials, due to their exceptional mechanical properties, are gaining popularity as bitumen modifiers to ...

SURMOUNT‐REAL UK: A Pragmatic Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Effectiveness of Tirzepatide in Adults With Obesity

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SURMOUNT‐REAL UK will evaluate the effectiveness of tirzepatide when offered in addition to standard‐of‐care (SoC) in adults with Class I obesity (BMI ≥ 30 and ≤ 34.9 kg/m2) and without diabetes in a UK primary care setting. Methods A 5‐year, phase 4, multicenter, open‐label, pragmatic randomized clinical trial is enabled through ...

Rutting Evaluation of Alaskan Asphalt Pavement Containing Sustainable Materials

, 2018
Permanent pavement deformation, or rutting, is one of the most noticeable distresses in hot mix asphalt. In Alaska, pavement rutting concerns exist at different levels because of seasonal climate change and traffic variation across the entire state.

A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

Oikos, EarlyView.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

Plurality in transformative change: Three co‐created pathways toward nature‐positive Europe(s)

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The accelerating decline of biodiversity necessitates transformative change to protect nature and society, which requires innovative actions and governance strategies. This paper advances the conceptual understanding of transformative change by identifying patterns of change in three co‐created transformative pathways for a nature‐positive ...
