Urbanization and related anthropogenic modifications cause extent of habitat fragmentation and directly lead to decline of local biodiversity. Conservation biologists advocate corridor creation as one approach to rescue biodiversity. Here we examine the utility of roads as corridors in preserving plant diversity by investigating roadside vegetation in Yellow River Delta (YRD), China. We examine...

today, vehicular ad-hoc network between automobiles has been accepted by the public, and many people are interested in exchanging information with other vehicles as well as with roadside equipment while driving. when a number of vehicles want to access to the data stored in rsu ,the priority of servicing comes into face .in this case, some  methods, such as d*s, d*s/n,  have been presented so f...

This paper presents a neural network based novel automated system that can analyze vehicle mounted video data for improving road safety. There are video data collection systems currently available although no tools exist which could be used to automatically analyze vehicle mounted video data and estimate future crash sites. The main aim of the research presented in this paper is to develop a te...

Roadside point counts are generally used for large surveys to increase the number of samples. We examined differences in species detected from roadside versus off-road (200-m and 400-m) point counts in the Shenandoah National Park. We also compared the list of species detected in the first 3 minutes to those detected in 10 minutes for potential species biases. Results from 81 paired roadside an...

Hawker food is a cherished element of Singapore’s cultural identity. For much history, hawkers were itinerant salespersons who sold their dishes from place to via pushcarts. The situation changed in the 1970s when shifted hawker centers, and they had name businesses overtly. present research focuses on naming practices older centers which comprise many stalls with pasts. More work remains be do...

Combustion-derived black carbon has received attention as a form of refractory organic carbon that may be preferentially preserved in soils and sediments. However, little is understood about the environmental roles of black carbon in urban soils. This investigation represented the preliminary study to characterize black carbon (BC) concentrations and enrichment ratios in Xuzhou urban roadside t...
