Dunes under attack: untangling the effects of landscape changes on Iceplant invasion (Carpobrotus spp., Aizoaceae) in Mediterranean coasts by Flavio Marzialetti, Giacomo Grosso, Alicia Teresa Rosario Acosta, Marco Malavasi, Luigi Cao Pinna, Marcelo Sternberg, Sharad Kumar Gupta, Giuseppe Brundu, Maria Laura Carranza

“…We then calculated a set of class and landscape pattern metrics and explored the spatial configuration of invaded patches through trajectory analysis. We also analysed the relationship between Carpobrotus spp. patches and landscape pattern over time examining their respective temporal delta values, by Random Forest (RF) models followed by Partial Dependence analysis. …”

PAVEMENT CONDITION ASSESSMENT USING LIDAR AND ARCGIS: AN EXPERIENCE FROM MALAYSIA by Babak GOLCHIN, Muhammad Aiman Badrish RAFFI, Nur Zarifah ZAKARIA, Noor Halizah ABDULLAH

“…Initially, point cloud data were collected from both expressways using LiDAR, and related images were processed through ArcGIS software to identify defects on the road surfaces. The analysis revealed defects such as shoving, bleeding, longitudinal cracking, potholes, and patching on the GCE, while raveling, longitudinal cracking, bleeding, and edge cracking were observed on the JSAHMSE. …”

Factors Affecting Maintenance Probability and Resurfacing Thickness Based on the Pavement Management System by Hongmei Li, Jiwang Jiang, Fujian Ni

“…Afterward, the classification tree model was established to find out the key factors on resurfacing thickness. Results showed that road sections with higher IRI, rutting depth (RD), deterioration rate of surface friction coefficient (DRSFC), pavement patching ratio (PPR), and transverse cracking severity index (TCSI) before treatment had significantly higher maintenance probability, which could be quantified by the developed logistic model. …”
