DEVELOPMENT OF STATISTICAL MODEL FOR THE PREDICTION OF PERMANENT DEFORMATION IN PAVING MATERIALS

Journal of Engineering, 2006
Permanent deformations (rutting) of asphalt pavements which appear in many roads in Iraq. have caused a major impact on pavement performance by reducing the useful service life of pavement and creating services hazards for highway users.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Misalignment in Carbon Credit Programmes: Insights From Producer Preferences for Cover Crop and No‐Till Contracts

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the factors influencing producer adoption of cover cropping and no‐till farming, two key carbon sequestration practices, within the context of voluntary carbon credit programmes (CCPs) in Kansas. Using a mixed‐methods survey that combines discrete choice experiments with farm‐level data from 370 producers, we estimate ...

Unlocking citizen participation: Network characteristics, sense of power, and place attachment as key factors in regional settings

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses key factors related to citizen participation in place governance processes. We study how network characteristics (ties and trust), sense of power (ability to influence outcomes), and affective characteristics such as bond with place (place attachment) relate to resource‐intensive and resource‐extensive citizen ...

Rutting depth prediction model for asphalt pavements based on a dual branch spatiotemporal attention network

Digital Transportation and Safety
Existing asphalt pavement rutting prediction models suffer from large long-term prediction errors due to their reliance on laboratory parameters and simplified assumptions.

Ethnic Minority Representation After the 2024 General Election: Does Ethnicity No Longer Matter?

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 127-133, January/March 2025.
Abstract With a new record of ethnic minority MPs elected in 2024, Westminster is nearly fully representative of voters of ethnic minority origins. This outcome was not entirely dependent on Labour's landslide, with pre‐election analyses showing that diversity of MPs would have improved with all possible election results.

Development of Deflection Prediction Model for Concrete Block Pavement Considering the Block Shapes and Construction Patterns

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
Concrete block pavement (CBP) is distinct from typical concrete or asphalt pavements. It is built by using individual blocks with unique construction patterns forming a discrete surface layer to bear traffic loadings.

Geological Substrate Is Related to Tooth Senescence and Population Dynamic: The Case Study of Alpine Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Mortality From Rural Traumatic Brain Injury Are Underestimated Without Inclusion of Prehospital Deaths

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Rural residents are more likely to suffer moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and experience delay to definitive care than urban patients. Prior studies comparing these populations were based on hospitalised patients only. We examined TBI outcomes incorporating pre‐hospital mortality to determine the association between

Genetic Expression Programming Based Empirical Models for the Prediction of Rutting Parameter of Bitumen Modified Using Nanomaterials

Engineered Science
Bitumen rheological properties significantly influence pavement performance in terms of resistance to rutting and cracking. Various approaches, such as polymer modification and the incorporation of nanomaterials, have been employed to improve bitumen ...
