Quantitative Modeling for Guiding the Transition to Low-Carbon Logistics by Lehmann, Jonas

“…More specifically, we provide a multi-period combinatorial optimization decision-support tool that offers cost-optimal fleet replacement and utilization decisions given a set of decarbonization targets. A case study utilizing fleet and network data from a large U.S. consumer goods company underscores the importance of strategic planning and execution in fleet transitions to leverage network-wide cost benefits and minimize potential excess costs as first movers. …”

From cellular automata to agent-based models : addressing urban issues by Quek, Wei Liang

“…Based on this, a bus-bunching agent-based model known as the Empirically-based Monte-Carlo Bus-network (EMB) model is proposed. A case study on NTU’s Shuttle Bus System demonstrates that the EMB model accurately captures the bus bunching dynamics of the empirical system. …”

Immediate test or delayed test : evidence of primary Mathematics learning by Arunachalam Thannimalai

“…Overall, usage of worked examples facilitated novice primary 2 students’ learning and this benefit became much less significant when learner expertise level grew as seen in the case of primary 4 student participants. However, there were no significant evidences of benefits of delayed testing over immediate testing, found in the study.…”

Is Africa’s growing public debt really crowding out private investment? by Mulangu, Francis

“…Commentators argue that the loans finance infrastructure projects with returns only in the distant future, compared to the medium term nature of the loan interest payments. The case of the Nairobi-Mombassa rail project in Kenya is often pointed as a prime example of the mismatch. …”

Linking short-term to long-term convergent tectonics using geodetic observations, geological constraints and numerical simulations by Mallick, Rishav

“…Moving to longer timescales, I tried to bridge earthquake cycle observations (over years) with geological observations of mountain building (over million years). I present a case study of the growth of the Shillong Plateau, north eastern India, as seen in the present-day GNSS-derived velocity field and the long-term uplift history of the plateau. …”

Flood inundation modeling under stochastic uncertainty by Sun, He.

“…This study will adopt Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) to evaluate the propagation of uncertainty associated with the most sensitive input parameters (i.e. channel and floodplain roughness coefficients) in a LISFLOOD-FP model to assess its reliability. The study case is a flooding event occurred at a short reach nearby Buscot Weir at River Thames in England in 1992. …”
