Optimization of Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers for Road Bridges Taking into Account Bridge-Vehicle Interaction, Random Pavement Roughness, and Uncertainties by Letícia Fleck Fadel Miguel, Guilherme Piva dos Santos

“…Additionally, the few engineers who perform a dynamic analysis typically do not consider the effects of bridge-vehicle interaction and also simplify the road’s irregularity profile. Moreover, often, even when a simplified dynamic analysis is carried out and shows that there will be a high dynamic amplification factor (DAF), designers prefer to solve this problem by adopting high safety factors and thereby oversizing the bridge, rather than using energy dissipation devices that would allow reducing the amplitude of vibration. …”

“The Road of War” and “The Path of Peace”: William Morris’s Representation of Violence by Eleonora Sasso

“…This paper takes as its starting point J. S. Mill’s comment on war, described as “an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things”, as well as Freud’s theory of war neuroses in his “Thoughts for the Times on War and Death” (1915), and uses both these concepts to advance a new reading of William Morris’s literary writings focusing on violence, one which sees it as not “the road of war” but “the path of peace”. …”

Comprehensive approach to predictive analysis and anomaly detection for road crash fatalities by Chopparapu Gowthami, S. Kavitha

“…Since traffic accidents are a major global cause of injury and death, it is essential to comprehend and reduce their effects. Finding high-risk areas and creating focused interventions to increase road safety are made possible by the research’s analysis of numerous variables that affect the number of fatalities in traffic crashes, including weather, road features, and geographic locations. …”

Evaluating the Accessibility of Urban Public Open Spaces Based on an Improved 2SFCA Model: A Case Study Within Chengdu’s Second Ring Road by Ling Jian, Xiaojiang Xia, Yinbing Zhao, Yang Zhang, Yuanqiao Wang, Yi Tang, Jie Chang, Changliu Wang

“…Traditional Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (2SFCA) models often lack sufficient quantitative analysis regarding the supply of urban public service facilities and population demand. This study, taking the area within Chengdu’s Second Ring Road as an example, proposes a 2SFCA model that integrates both supply and demand improvements to evaluate UPOS accessibility. …”
