A Fifty Million Dollar Piece of Dirt: Somerville as a Case Study in Development by Aizman, Asya

“…The accompanying report, citing one gentrifying neighborhood as a “notable contributor to increased market value,” signaled the city’s “attractiveness” to potential investors by promising low interest rates on local real estate development projects. But while the city increasingly appeared to be a sure bet for investors, life became more strenuous for residents, with steep and climbing rents, failing infrastructure, and fewer reasons to stay in a changing city that they no longer recognized. …”

Imagining post-fossil tourism mobilities with Norwegian tourists by Hopkins, D, Landa-Mata, I, Kr Steen Jacobsen, J, Farstad, E, Higham, J

“…Sustainable mobility has become a catch-all term to describe forms, modes, policies and practices of mobility that are thought to have a lower environmental footprint and/or fewer social exclusions than the contemporary mobility system which is reliant on fossil fuels and private ownership. …”

Seventy Years of Marriage and Family Law in China: Achievements, Challenges and Prospects by Guo, Q

“…Despite the achievements made, great challenges remain since the 21st century, especially the difficulties in family formation and maintenance; population aging with fewer children; application of assisted reproductive technology; and prevalence of divorce, remarriage, and cohabitation. …”

Dissolving the segmentation of a shared mobility market: A framework and four market structure designs by Guo, Xiaotong, Qu, Ao, Zhang, Hongmou, Noursalehi, Peyman, Zhao, Jinhua

“…High-level perspectives and detailed mechanisms for each proposed market structure are both examined. Then, to assess the real-world performance of these market structure designs, we used a ride-sharing simulator with real-world ride-hailing trip data from New York City to simulate. …”

Human factors in agile software development by Lin, Jun

“…To address these three questions, we have conducted a series of experiments, simulations and data analysis, and contributed a series of solutions and insights in this research, including 1) a Goal Net based method to enhance goal and requirement management for ASD process, 2) a novel Simple Multi-Agent Real-Time (SMART) approach to enhance intelligent task allocation for ASD process, 3) a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) based method to enhance emotion and morale management for ASD process, 4) a large-scale in-depth empirical analysis of human factors in the agile development process through the continuous observation of student ASD teams, and 5) the identification of an ASD process as a human-computation system that uses humans to perform tasks that computers are not good at and computers to assist human decision making.…”
