The vehicle miles of travel for each vehicle in multi-vehicle households is modeled as a function of household characteristics, vehicle characteristics, and the matches of vehicle to driver in the satisfaction of travel desires. A structural equations model is developed in which principal driver...

The vehicle choice model developed here is one component in a micro-simulation demand forecasting system being designed to produce annual forecasts of new and used vehicle demand by vehicle type and geographic area in California. The system will also forecast annual vehicle miles traveled for...

The vehicle choice model developed here is one component in a mlcro-slmulatlon demand forecasting system being designed to produce annual forecasts of new and used vehicle demand by vehicle type and geographic area in Cahforma. The system will also forecast annual vehicle miles traveled for all...

This research is part of the project aimed at developing a model system to forecast demand for clean fuel vehicles in California, conducted by researchers at the University of California, Irvine and University of California, Davis. The objective of the research reported here is to explain annual...

The vehicle miles of travel for each vehicle in multi-vehicle households is modelled as a function of household characteristics, vehicle characteristics, and the matches of vehicle to driver in the satisfaction of travel desires. A structural equations model is developed in which principal...

In this paper we evaluate three projects with the participation of 40 supplier firms in several Chinese coastal provinces representing multi-stakeholder efforts to provide alternative channels through which workers can voice their concerns. The supplier firms took on these projects to reduce...

In this article, the statistical properties for the renormalized permeability obtained from the renormalization of the correlated permeability field are investigated. In contrast to the uncorrelated porous media, the scaling of the variance of the renormalized permeability field exhibits a...

Farmer innovation diffusion (FID) in the developing world is not simply the adoption of an innovation made by farmers, but a process of communication and cooperation between farmers, governments, and other stakeholders. While increasing attention has been paid to farmer innovation, little is...

We studied theoretic development of ecological civilization, and put forward the concept model of ecological civilization regulated by nature, society and government. In the construction of ecological civilization, the nature, society and government play different roles and have respective...

Globalization and economic transition in China have profound impacts on Chinese seafarers in terms of both employment structure and professional perspectives. Regarding the latter, a ‘new professionalism’ is emerging, which can be distinguished from the ‘traditional professionalism’ in...
