How is Intraday Metro Ridership related to Station Centrality in Athens, Greece? by Athanasios Kopsidas, Konstantinos Kepaptsoglou

“…For station classification, principal component analysis and k-means clustering are utilized. The findings suggest that centrality and ridership usually move in opposite directions, morning peak-hour boardings are completely uncorrelated with station centrality, and metro stations can be classified as ‘central destinations’, ‘averagely central origins’, and ‘underutilized peripheral stations’.…”

Spatio-temporal variations in past extreme tree-growth reduction events and their resilience components over northern high-latitude regions by Shunsuke Tei

“…Hence, this study aimed to examine past extreme tree-growth reduction (EGR) events and the associated resilience components across northern high-latitude regions.MethodsThis study estimated the past EGR events and associated resilience components using the tree-ring width index (RWI) data from 523 International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) sites across the northern high-latitude regions and analyzed the spatial and temporal variations in resilience.ResultsNo significant regional differences were found in the frequency of EGR events over the past several hundred years; however, the resilience components exhibited large spatial variations with significant regional differences. The regional-averaged resilience (Rs) over the entire analysis period was lower in Canada than in Alaska, Eurasia, or Europe, suggesting a possible higher vulnerability to EGR events in Canada.DiscussionThe high vulnerability in Canada was not attributed to the large reduction in growth during the EGR event but to the small amount of recovery (Rc) after the event. …”
