STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Relationship between Speed and Lateral Position on Curves, September 2012 [PDF]
, 2012 Excessive speed is often cited as a primary driver factor in crashes, particularly rural two-lane crashes. It has also been suggested that speed plays a significant role in crashes on curves. However, the relationship between speed and crashes on curves

European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2008 Crashes on two-lane rural highways are over-represented at horizontal curves, and speed inconsistency is a common contributing factor to these crashes. Road Consistency reflects the similarity or lack thereof of vehicle performance along an entire road ...

Market Integration and Nonlinear Price Transmission in 19th‐Century British Wheat Markets
Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Important developments in infrastructure and institutions characterized 19th‐Century wheat markets in Great Britain. Among these developments was the construction of the national rail system which enabled cheaper and more efficient transport of grain and other bulky cargoes between inland towns and ports.

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI)–enabled automation is often utilised in systems that perform human tasks. While useful, these technologies pose a risk of adverse consequences in the case of AI failures as they operate in open environments, learn and are subject to continuous updates.
