User satisfaction and service quality improvement priority of bus rapid transit in Belo Horizonte, Brazil by Zheng, Yunhan, Kong, Hui, Petzhold, Guillermo, Barcelos, Mariana M, Zegras, Christopher P, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Our results show that “expenses with public transport” (i.e. fares) should be addressed first among all the attributes, and the improvement priorities of “speed”, “reliability” and “customer service” increased after the BRT opening. These findings can help policymakers fine-tune improvement strategies targeted at different types of services.…”

Evaluation of Deep Learning Algorithms in Predicting Seismic Response of a Reinforced Concrete Structure by Morgan, Jacob A.

“…By employing a variety of results metrics previously used in the literature, including correlation coefficients, normalized error distributions, and peak errors, this thesis examines different components of the models’ capabilities to learn more about patterns in the data learned by the computational mechanisms of each architecture, and exploring the feasibility of a generalized approach for further application in structural response prediction. Findings from the work show the data-driven Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network performing the most accurately, but not consistently outperforming the other algorithms. …”

Location, Location, Substation? How Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Can Create Value in Unexpected Places by Schutt, Neal

“…The study concludes that BESS can unlock ‘found value’ in sites with little other economic potential. The findings suggest that incorporating BESS into real estate development projects can provide substantial public benefits, including enhanced grid resilience, lower energy costs, and increased property values, making it a strategic tool for urban planners and developers.…”

Common Grounds in Shared Waters Integrated Design for Negotiating Equitable Development in Gosabara-Mokarsagar by Mehta, Dhwani

“…Although many groups’ contested visions map onto the shared waters of Gosabara-Mokarsagar, the fisherfolk are particularly excluded from decision-making processes. Finding a singular common ground among the contesting groups is challenging due to vast differences in power, position, and privilege. …”

A 35-Year Analysis of Vegetation Cover in Rare-Earth Mining Areas Using Landsat Data by Zheng, Zhubin, Liu, Yuqing, Chen, Na, Liu, Ge, Lei, Shaohua, Xu, Jie, Li, Jianzhong, Ren, Jingli, Huang, Chao

“…To elucidate the spatio-temporal changes in vegetation within Dingnan County over the past 35 years and the effects of natural and human factors on these changes, the spatial and temporal variations in FVC were analyzed using Landsat-TM/OLI multispectral images taken in 1988, 1995, 1997, 2002, 2006, 2013, 2017, and 2023. The findings indicate that (1) vegetation coverage in Dingnan County decreased from 1988 to 2002, followed by a gradual increase; (2) high vegetation cover is predominantly found in forested areas that maintain their natural state, while the central town and mining areas exhibit generally low coverage; (3) there are regional differences in the relationship between vegetation cover and environmental factors in Dingnan County. …”
