Effects of vegetation type and horizontal curve radius on the rate of tree pruning to provide line of sight on main access roads

Journal of Forest Science, 2014
The present investigation was carried out to assess the influence of vegetation type and horizontal curve radius on the rate of tree pruning to provide the line of sight on horizontal curves in Caspian forests of Iran. For this purpose, the DBH (diameter

More‐than‐gender? Moving beyond gendered expectations of divergent learners in early childhood education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we explore how neurodivergent ways of being in early education are often gendered. The intersectionalities of gender and neurodivergence often lead to fixed expectations that perpetuate binary interpretations, pathologisations, missed diagnoses and a lack of curated support.

Using Displacement‐Assisted Desorption to Identify Reactive Intermediates: Ring‐Fused Porphyrins on Cu(111)

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We propose a novel displacement‐assisted approach for temperature‐programmed desorption (TPD), allowing for the detection of reactive intermediates of on‐surface reactions. We demonstrate the approach by investigating the temperature‐dependent ring fusion reactions (cyclodehydrogenations) of tetraphenylporphyrin on Cu(111), revealing the quantitative ...

An Initial Investigation of the Effects of a Fully Automated Vehicle Fleet on Geometric Design

Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2019
This paper investigates the potential changes in the geometric design elements in response to a fully autonomous vehicle fleet. When autonomous vehicles completely replace conventional vehicles, the human driver will no longer be a concern.

From Nature to Supply Chain: Exploring Biomimicry‐Based Pathways to Sustainability and Competitive Advantage

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inspired by insights gleaned from biomimicry theory, this paper addresses the persistent lack of theoretically grounded research in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and examines how nature‐inspired biomimicry principles could enhance various dimensions of its competitiveness. This study's theoretical contribution lies in its proposal

Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...

Three-dimensional stopping sight distance control on passing lanes of divided highways [PDF]

European Transport Research Review, 2016
Stopping Sight Distance control of passing lanes of divided highways represents currently a discussion point among researchers. A 3-D approach to address the issue is accepted as the overall solution to the problem by both researchers and contemporary design policies.

From Policy Presence to Policy Performance: Adaptive Improvisation and the Everyday Politics of Plastic Burning Bans in Rural Indonesia

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open burning plastics is a major environmental health hazard in low‐ and middle‐income countries, releasing toxic pollutants and exacerbating climate change. Although Indonesia prohibits plastic burning, enforcement in rural settings remains fragile.

Random-Parameter Multivariate Negative Binomial Regression for Modeling Impacts of Contributing Factors on the Crash Frequency by Crash Types

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2020
Highways provide the basis for safe and efficient driving. Road geometry plays a critical role in dynamic driving systems. Contributing factors such as plane, longitudinal alignment, and traffic volume, as well as drivers’ sight characteristics ...

Reflex seizures and epilepsy surgery: A network approach case‐based exploration

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Context Reflex seizures (RS) are defined by their consistent provocation by specific stimuli, encompassing a broad range from elementary sensory inputs to complex cognitive tasks. While RS are often encountered in clinical practice, their surgical management remains sparsely reported and poorly systematized.
