Despite indications that acts of frotteurism and exhibitionism are frequent occurrences, these sexual paraphilias have received little empirical attention. To address this gap in our knowledge about these paraphilias, 459 undergraduate students in a major metropolitan city completed a self-report measure designed to investigate the frequency and correlates of frotteurism and exhibitionism. Resu...

The New York City (NYC) subway is the main mode of transport for over 5 million passengers on an average weekday. Therefore, airborne pollutants in the subway stations could have a significant impact on commuters and subway workers. This study looked at black carbon (BC) and particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations in selected subway stations in Manhattan. BC and PM2.5 levels were measured in ...

For the time scheduling problem of each station's muck transportation vehicle and processing center during construction under-construction subway station, a optimization model with shortest waiting plant as objective function is established, genetic algorithm improved by repairing chromosomes individuals who violate constraints introducing elite strategy. The effectiveness verified examples. re...

Subway transportation is one of the most prevalent urban methods globally. Millions people around globe use this medium as their mode daily. However, subway stations may be highly prone to fire, smoke, or explosion accidents. The safety using demands a robust and practical framework assess fire hazards risks. This study provides methodology risk at station. integrates fault tree analysis (FTA) ...

This paper addresses the problem of time-dependent shortest multimodal path in complex and large urban areas. This problem is one of the important and practical problems in several fields such as transportation, and recently attracts the research focus due to developments in new application areas. An adapted evolutionary algorithm, in which chromosomes with variable lengths and particularly def...

Efficient vertical mobility is a critical component of tall building development and construction. This paper investigates recent advances in elevator technology and examines their impact on tall building development. It maps out, organizes, and collates complex and scattered information on multiple aspects of elevator design, and presents them in an accessible and non-technical discourse. Impo...
