The informal construction of dwellings (housing) and the informal growth of transport infrastructure are two main dynamics of an informal settlement growth phenomenon that may influence each other over time. Some studies have been done to understand the growth mechanisms of informal settlements, but not enough attention has been paid to study the informal growth of transport infrastructure dyna...

Modeling and realization of an intelligent tutor for informal situations in support of formal education is a new and challenging problem relevant to the learning performance and efficacy. It needs further exploration regarding the factors that distinguish tutoring and learning in a formal classroom and informal places. The paper presents the results from an empirical study identifying the envir...

The informal transport infrastructure is an inseparable and critical element of the transportation system in that it provides pedestrian accessibility in planned or unplanned environments. Despite this important role, the informal infrastructure is usually neglected in formal studies, plans, reports or maps. A sophisticated understanding of the different dynamics and mechanisms behind the growt...

We provide an informal overview on the theory of transport equations with non smooth velocity fields, and on some applications of this theory to the well-posedness of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws.

The evidence of the impact of informal care provision on the health of carers presents a complex and contested picture, depending on the characteristics of the care studied, including its duration, which has been relatively short in previous research (up to 4 years). Drawing on data from the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study, a 1% sample of linked Census records for respondents ...
