Pedestrian-oriented development in Beirut: A framework for estimating urban design impacts on pedestrian flows through modeling, participatory design, and scenario analysis by Sevtsuk, Andres, Kollar, Justin, Pratama, Daniel, Basu, Rounaq, Haddad, Jawad, Alhassan, Abdulaziz, Chancey, Bahij, Halabi, Mohamad, Makhlouf, Rawad, Abou-Zeid, Maya

“…We illustrate how each scenario affects pedestrian trip generation across various trip types and trip distribution on individual street segments. Our approach demonstrates how urban design interventions–both land use changes and street quality improvements–can influence pedestrian travel demand. …”

Dumbbell-shaped block copolymers for the fabrication of anisotropic soft actuators by Pan, Houwen Matthew, Chan, Jonathan Kai Bin, Sarkar, Jit, Goto, Atsushi

“…Characterization of anisotropic actuator strips pointed to a lamellar-like arrangement of PBA segments sandwiched between PDMS layers. Anisotropic swelling was programmed in single-layer actuators through shear-induced alignment (x-y axis) and phase separation (z-axis) of dumbbell-shaped BCPs without any additional patterning steps. …”

HiTrip: Historical trajectory interpolation for trawlers via deep learning on multi-source data by Zhao, Zhongning, Chen, Jiaxuan, Shi, Yuqi, Hong, Feng, Jiang, Guiyuan, Huang, Haiguang, Zhao, Jinhua

“…The proposed deep learning model, integrating ResNet, LSTM, and MLP, seamlessly synthesizes spatial features from coarse fishing effort distributions, sea surface factor fields, and current fields, while accounting for the temporal relationships within trajectory segments. Evaluated on 1855 East China Sea trawler VMS records and Copernicus Climate Data Store hydrological factor data, HiTrip achieves a 0.20 km interpolation error, meeting a finery 0.005° × 0.005°spatial resolution demand for fishing effort distribution analysis. …”

Flood risk analysis under consideration of river system dynamics and spatial temporal scales by Oliver, Julien

“…The risk-based approach, which quantifies both flooding frequencies and impacts, offers opportunities to design cost-efficient strategies to address all segments of the risk management cycle. While theoretically well established, current methods to quantify flood risks usually fail to capture adequately spatial and temporal dynamics of flood risks. …”
