ƒ A significant minority of REU reported engaging in specific harm reduction strategies as a result of the introduction of roadside drug testing. BACKGROUND Driving under the influence of illicit drugs and/or alcohol is a significant road safety concern (1-3). Although changes in actual crash risk vary between drugs, all illicit drugs are associated with cognitive and performance effects that a...

The roadside-to-vehicle communication system is an infrastructure network to be deployed along the roads, which is an important part of the vehicular Ad Hoc networks for future intelligent transportation systems. Vehicle position estimation is a key technology for roadside-to-vehicle communication. In this study, a roadside-to-vehicle communication system is proposed where a camera is fixed on ...

Roadside streams in the Mount Cameroon region are predisposed to nutrient enrichment from different anthropogenic activities carried out around catchment areas. The composition and diversity of aquatic macrophytes three roadside MCR, biomass, accumulation most abundant one were assessed order better understand quantify benefits accruing these macrophytes. Vegetation sampling was along transects...

The inhalable particles from vehicle exhaust can cause DNA damage to exposed organisms. Research on DNA damage is primarily focused on the influence of specific pollutants on certain species or the effect of environmental pollution on human beings. To date, little research has quantitatively studied the relationship between roadside pollution and DNA damage. Based on an investigation of the roa...

BACKGROUND Many argue that prohibition creates more troubles than alternative policies, but fewer than half of American voters support a taxed and regulated market for cannabis. Some oppose a regulated market because of concerns about driving after smoking cannabis. Although a roadside sobriety test for impairment exists, few voters know about it. The widespread use of a roadside sobriety test ...

The contribution of understorey vegetation (UVEG) to forest ecosystem biomass and carbon (C) across diverse forest types has, to date, eluded quantification at regional and national scales. Efforts to quantify UVEG C have been limited to field-intensive studies or broad-scale modelling approaches lacking field measurements. Although large-scale inventories of UVEG C are not common, speciesand c...
