Impact of Dynamic Modulus Prediction Errors on Rutting Estimates in Sustainable Flexible Pavements

open access: yesInfrastructures
Permanent deformation, manifested as rutting, remains one of the most critical threats to the structural integrity and functional performance of flexible pavements.

Modeling and Correlating Rut Depth Observed in Different Asphalt Mixture Performance Tests

open access: yesMehran University Research Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2018
The purpose of research is to model and correlate the laboratory rutting behavior of indigenous asphalt mixtures, prior to placing in the field. Extensive laboratory testing was carried out on thirty representative wearing course mixtures using two types

Saturated Partial Embeddings of Planar Graphs

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this work, we study how far one can deviate from optimal behavior when embedding a planar graph. For a planar graph G $G$, we say that a plane subgraph H ⊆ G $H\subseteq G$ is a plane‐saturated subgraph if adding any edge (possibly with new vertices) to H $H$ would either violate planarity or make the resulting graph no longer a subgraph of

Incorporating Physics-Informed Neural Networks into YOLOv8 for Pavement Rutting Detection [PDF]

open access: yes
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have shown great promise in embedding domain-specific knowledge into machine learning models. This study proposes an enhancement to the YOLO object detection framework by introducing a physics-informed penalty ...

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

open access: yesThe 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.

Simulation of rutting profiles using a viscoplastic model

open access: yesKSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2007
The development of high speed computers has encouraged researchers to increasingly utilize the finite element method (FEM) to simulate more realistic pavement structures and loading conditions in their efforts to predict the performance of asphalt pavem ents.

Development of mechanistic-empirical design method for an asphalt pavement rutting model using APT

open access: yes, 2011
This paper describes the study of accelerated pavement testing (APT) with test variables of temperature and air void ratio, which are important factors that influence rutting.

Interactive effects of microplastics and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on grassland communities

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grassland plant communities contribute significantly to global biodiversity but face numerous man‐made pressures which may interfere with their ecological functions. One such pressure receiving increasing scientific, political, and public attention is microplastic pollution.

WorldCuP: A database of checklists documenting the World's Cultivated Plants and their distributions

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Human life would be unrecognizable without the benefits of cultivated plants, including crops, ornamentals, or plants with other uses. Despite their importance in daily life and prevalence across landscapes, we know surprisingly little about global cultivated plant distributions.

Development of empirical model for the prediction of viscoelastic properties of Nano Hydrated Lime (NHL) modified asphalt binders

open access: yesResults in Materials
This study developed empirical models to forecast the viscoelastic characteristics of asphalt binders enhanced with Nano Hydrated Lime (NHL). The study used AC-60/70 penetration grade bitumen and included NHL at concentrations of 0 %, 1 %, 3 %, 5 %, and ...
