Assessing Spatiotemporal LST Variations in Urban Landscapes Using Diurnal UAV Thermography by Nizar Polat, Abdulkadir Memduhoğlu

“…Using stratified random sampling in each class with spatial controls to minimize autocorrelation, we quantified thermal signatures across bare soil, buildings, grassland, paved roads, and water bodies. Statistical analyses incorporating outlier management via the Interquartile Range (IQR) method, spatial autocorrelation assessment using Moran’s <i>I</i>, correlation testing, and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) revealed substantial thermal variability across LULC classes, with temperature differentials of up to 17.7 °C between grassland (20.57 ± 5.13 °C) and water bodies (7.10 ± 1.25 °C) during afternoon periods. …”

Load Aggressiveness on Different Pavement Structures Due to the Weight Increase of Heavy Vehicles from 40 Tonnes to 44 Tonnes by Adriana Martínez, Magín Campos

“…While some countries allow a maximum weight of 44 t when circulating within their territories, the limitation in Spain has been established by the Council Directive 96/53/EC of 25 July 1996 40 t, although this restriction is often discussed by the different agents related to the transport of goods by road. Therefore, this paper analyses the effect of T2S3 vehicles loaded with 42 t and 44 t on sections of flexible and semi-rigid pavements of the Spanish road network, to provide information about the impacts of the modification of the regulations on capacity.…”
