Abstract This study analyzes the relationships between stress changes produced by water load variations due to filling operations at Pirrís Reservoir, Costa Rica, and generated three relevant earthquakes after first impoundment. The differ in their magnitude, distance from reservoir depth. Two of them correspond a shallow crustal faulting, third earthquake corresponds subduction thrust-fault. b...

Worldwide bike-sharing systems are growing in popularity as an alternative, environmentally friendly mode of transportation. As cities seek to further develop programmes, it is important consider how should expand simultaneously address existing inequalities accessibility, and best serve demand. In this paper, we determine ideal locations for future stations Glasgow, Scotland, by integrating de...

Spatial and temporal sampling errors inherent in large-scale, weather-station (raingauge) climatologies of precipitation are evaluated. A primary goal is to assess whether more representative large-scale precipitation climatologies emerge when (i) more station means are included, even when they are based on unequal periods of record, or (ii) fewer station means are included but all are derived ...

This study focuses on identifying source and frequency of noise pollution in Yazd, Iran. For data collection, we used two approaches: First we selected 55 monitoring stations for 122 km grid network; the distance between two stations was 2 km. Then, at the same time, we measured the sound pressure level (SPL) at main roads; the distance between two monitoring stations in this case was 1 km. Aft...

Bike Sharing Systems (BSSs) allow customers to rent bicycles at automatic rental stations distributed throughout a city, use them for a short period of time, and return them to any station. One of the major issues that BSS operators must address is non-homogeneous asymmetric demand processes. These demand processes create an inherent imbalance, thus leading to shortages of bicycles, when users ...
