Anhui Province is divided into 6 zones according to land use. This paper firstly introduces ranges, characteristics and problems of land use zoning in Anhui Province. On these bases, it presents the respective ecological construction mode. Huaibei Plain Zone should focus on agriculture and...

This paper explores urban freeway users' diversion responses to D-VMS (a new type of freeway variable message sign that explicitly provides travel times for both freeways and local streets) in the context of China. An on-site stated preference questionnaire survey was conducted to collect...

This paper investigates how to improve prediction accuracy of stock realized volatility using a large set of predictors. Exploiting normalized positive adjusted R-square and significant t statistic of predictor obtained from the in-sample result as weight, we develop two simple and effective...

Efficient and selective glucose-to-fructose isomerization is a crucial step in biorefinery, usually catalyzed by Lewis acid or Brønsted base catalyst. However, inferior selectivity of Lewis acid and low conversion of Brønsted base hamper the practical application. Herein, a Mg-Al...

This paper investigates the relationship between mode choice and the complexity of trip chaining patterns. An understanding of the causality between these two choice behaviors may aid in the development of tour-based travel demand modeling systems that attempt to incorporate models of trip...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to design and develop 14-degree of freedom (DOF) robotic micromanipulator with which LIGA devices and axle hole part can be both manipulated and assembled. Design/methodology/approach – The in-house robotic microassembly system is composed of a 6-DOF...

Travel behavior researchers have been intrigued by the amount of time that people allocate to travel in a day, i.e., the daily travel time expenditure, commonly referred to as a “travel time budget”. Explorations into the notion of a travel time budget have once again resurfaced in the...

Many place based accessibility studies ignore the time component. Relying on theoretical frameworks that treat distance between two fixed points as constant, these methods ignore the diurnal and seasonal changes in accessibility. Network distances between two nodes are dependent on the network...
