Preferences in regional public transport: a literature review

Evidence for airborne infectious disease transmission in public ground transport--a literature review.

While guidelines on contact tracing (CT) after exposure to certain infectious pathogens during air travel exist, no guidance documents are available on CT in response to potential exposure on public ground transport. We reviewed scientific and non-scientific literature on transmission of airborne pathogens in public ground transport and on factors potentially influencing transmission. We identi...

Associating Factors With Public Preparedness Behavior Against Earthquake: A Review of Iranian Research Literature

Local preparedness against earthquakes has been recently highlighted in research and policies on disaster management and risk reduction promotion in Iran. To advance the understanding of public preparedness and how it can be applied in diverse localities, further information is required about the predictors of people’s adoption of mitigation activities and earthquake preparedness. A synth...

Duty Rostering in Public Transport - Facing Preferences , Fairness , and Fatigue

Duty rostering problems occur in different application contexts and come in different flavors. They give rise to very large scale integer programs which typically have lots of solutions and extremely fractional LP relaxations. In such a situation, heuristics can be a viable algorithmic choice. We propose an improvement method of the Lin-Kernighan type for the solution of duty rostering problems...

Sperm Transport in the Mare Reproductive Tract: A Review

The objective of this study was to review the literature on sperm transport in the mare. During this process the sperm cells must reach the oviducts in order to fertilize the oocyte, but before reaching this site it must go through the uterus that is a hostile environment at this moment since there is an inflammatory reaction in this location that aims to eliminate excess spermatozoa and bacter...
