Abstract:
In the ridesourcing industry, drivers are often unable to quickly and accurately locate the waiting position of riders, but patrol or wait on the road, which will seriously affect the management of the road traffic order. It may be a good idea to provide an online virtual site for the taxi to facilitate convergence of the rider and driver. The concept of recommended pick-up point is presented in this paper. At present, ridesourcing service platforms on the market have similar functions, but they do not take into account whether the setting of the pick-up point is compatible with the actual traffic environment, resulting in some problems. We have invented a method to select the recommended pick-up point by integrating various traffic influencing factors, so as to ensure that the setting of the pick-up point is compatible with the actual traffic situation, which consists of three steps. Firstly, we studied the rider’s maximum tolerable waiting time and defined an attractive walking range for riders based on the huge amount of data. In the second step, we analyzed spatial distribution characteristics of the taxi demand hotspot and determined candidate pick-up locations. Lastly, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy method was used to select the recommended pick-up point that is most conducive to traffic management from multiple candidate points. A case study was conducted to validate the proposed approach and experimental evidence showed that recommended results based on the approach are in line with the actual situation of the road, and conducive to road traffic management. This recommendation method is based on real ridesourcing orders data.

Abstract:
The use of pick-up points by consumers is one of the most developed areas of research in the literature on last-mile logistics over the last decade. In this regard, several researchers have attempted to expose the factors that influence consumers’ online shopping behavior and their willingness to use pick-up points. However, no study has addressed this issue in African countries. The aim of this research is to examine the online shopping behavior of Moroccan consumers, focusing on their opinions about using pick-up points to receive/return goods purchased online. This research adopted a qualitative approach through focus group sessions with Moroccan consumers. The results indicate that temporal and spatial flexibility, competitive prices, and the quality of the retailer’s website are the main factors encouraging consumers to buy online. On the other hand, product risk, delivery risk, privacy, and security were identified as the factors that prevent consumers from buying online. In contrast, the location, density, security, and opening hours of pick-up points were considered to be the factors that influence the Moroccan consumer’s choice to use this delivery option when buying online. These findings are important both for parcel delivery companies that want to establish pick-up point networks in Casablanca and for public authorities and local communities that want to formulate policies and implement strategies leading to more sustainable urban environments.

Abstract. Residents’ activities have a significant interaction with urban socioeconomic environment. Taxi trajectory data has been widely used to mine human activity patterns to identify urban functional districts. However, previous studies merely chose several spatiotemporal statistics of taxi pick-up and drop-off points. This paper compares seven time series statistics of taxi pick-up and drop-off points, and selects the best combination to identify urban functional districts. The basic analysis units are not only constructed based on the OpenStreetMap data, but also optimized with the fine-grained clean rasterized pixels, generated from preprocessed taxi trajectory data through the improved head/tail breaks method. The experiment conducted in Wuchang District, Wuhan, shows that the combination of the average statistics of pick-up points, the average statistics of drop-off points, and the ratio statistics of pick-up and drop-off difference achieves the best identification precision of 83.65%, the F1-score of 82.2%, and the recall score of 81.48%. The proposed approach has good scalability and can be transplant to other identification applications.

Abstract:
Background:Traffic accidents, hazardous behaviors, and caretakers’ opinions have a strong effect on students’ safety during the drop-off and pick-up period. The present research about student drop-off and pick-up behaviors and spatial analysis will be helpful for better understanding school traffic incidents and related risk factors.Objective:To examine the risk factors associated with school drop-off and pick-up in three dimensions: 1) risk zones, 2) risk behaviors, and 3) risk periods.Method:A mixed method approach was employed using 4 sets of data, consisting of 1) the statistics of accidents occurring around primary schools, 2) the student drop-off and pick-up behaviors, 3) the opinions toward risk zones and risk periods, and 4) the data obtained from the survey and interview. The spatial analysis was conducted using kernel density estimation technique. The statistical data analysis was carried out to analyze and compare the questionnaire responses given by the teachers and parents from the primary schools with the highest accident rate in 5 regions of Thailand.Results:Pedestrian crossing points in front of the school gates and blind spots behind the school buildings were considered the risk zones. In the morning, the parents usually dropped the students off at the pavements in front of the school gate. Some of them walked the students to the classrooms. After school, the parents parked their cars and then walked to wait for the students at the meeting points scattered inside or outside the school. The opinions of the teachers and parents regarding the risk periods were found to be significantly different (p< 0.01), which affected the way the teachers and parents looked out for the students’ safety in the morning and after school period.Conclusion:The areas around pedestrian crossing points and school gates require effective transport planning in order to specifically prevent and monitor hazardous incidents. A scattering of drop-off and pick-up points are risk behaviors. Therefore, each school should clearly set up safe drop-off and pick-up points and pay close attention to the safety of students both in the morning and after school. Creating safety for students should start with improving the school environment in order to reduce anxiety and facilitate behavior change.

Abstract:
ResumoO objetivo deste estudo exploratório é analisar a disposição dos consumidores brasileiros em utilizar a solução logística através de pontos de coleta para a retirada de medicamentos, itens de consumo recorrente e primordiais sobretudo no atual contexto de pandemia. Os pontos de coleta são locais físicos onde os consumidores podem retirar produtos comprados pela internet ou pelo telefone. Essa solução permite a utilização de uma rede de distribuição com armazenagem em fabricante ou distribuidor, resultando em menores custos logísticos. Por sua vez, os consumidores podem ser beneficiados, à medida que não precisam esperar pelas entregas, podendo receber suas encomendas antecipadamente e encontrar fretes mais acessíveis. Para a obtenção dos dados sobre as escolhas dos entrevistados aplicou-se um formulário integralmente online apresentando situações hipotéticas de entrega conforme a técnica de preferência declarada. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que a solução logística proposta pode ser viável, desde que apresente benefícios extras aos consumidores, se comparado à entrega convencional. Palavras-chave: Pick-up Points. Logística Urbana. Logística de Medicamentos. Cadeia de Suprimentos da Saúde. AbstractThe aim of this exploratory study is to analyze the willingness of Brazilian consumers to use the logistical solution through pick-up points for the withdrawal of medicines, items of recurrent consumption and essential, especially in the current context of the pandemic. Pick-up points are physical locations where consumers can collect products purchased over the internet or over the phone. This solution allows the use of a distribution network with storage at a manufacturer or distributor, resulting in lower logistics costs. In turn, consumers can benefit, as they do not have to wait for deliveries, being able to receive their orders in advance and find more affordable freight. To obtain data on the respondents' choices, a fully online form was applied showing hypothetical situations of delivery according to the declared preference technique. The research results showed that the proposed logistical solution can be viable, as long it presents extra benefits to consumers, when compared to conventional delivery. Keywords: Pick-up Points.

Abstract:
In recent years, with the development of spatial crowdsourcing technology, online car-hailing, as a typical spatiotemporal crowdsourcing task application scenario, has attracted widespread attention. Existing researches on spatial crowdsourcing are mainly based on the coordinate positions of user and worker roles to achieve task allocation with the goal of maximum matching number or lowest cost. However, they ignores the problem of the selection of the pick-up point which needs to be solved in the actual scene of online car booking. This problem needs to take into account the four-dimensional coordinate positions of users, workers, pick-up point and destination. Based on this, this study designs a pick-up point recommendation strategy based on user incentive mechanism. Firstly, a new four-dimensional crowdsourcing model is established, which is closer to the practical application of crowdsourcing problem. Secondly, taking cost optimization as the index, a user incentive mechanism is designed to encourage users to walk to the appropriate pick-up point within a certain distance. Thirdly, a concept of forward rate is proposed to reduce the computation time. Some key factors, such as the maximum walking distance limit of users and task cost, are considered as the recommendation index for measuring the pick-up point. Then, an effective pick-up point recommendation strategy is designed based on this index. Experiments show that the strategy proposed in this article can achieve reasonable recommendation for pick-up points and improve the efficiency of drivers and reduce the total trip cost of orders to the greatest extent.

Abstract:
Online sales have steadily increased in recent years. Unlike the traditional retail shopping model, e-commerce must deliver custom orders to highly dispersed locations. Consequently, negative effects have been observed in large urban and densely populated areas, such as congestion and pollution. Pick-up points (PPs) are fast-growing solutions that provide parcel delivery and picking services at diverse locations throughout major city centers. This paper describes an optimization-based approach aimed to investigate the conditions in which a network of pick-up points can be more efficient than home deliveries from operational and environmental points of view in urban last-mile distribution. Differently from the related literature, in which analytical models were employed, we use optimization and algorithms to determine the economic and environmental benefits of packages destined for pick-up points instead of home deliveries. The framework was applied to the city of São Paulo, in Brazil. Several scenarios were evaluated, comprising different densities and percentages of deliveries destined for PPs. The results show that PPs can be a promising alternative for reducing the environmental externalities, as fleet and vehicle mileage can be reduced by more than 50%.

Abstract:
La livraison de colis en points relais (PR) ou en consigne automatique est une alternative intéressante à la livraison à domicile, que ce soit pour des achats auprès de commerçants en ligne (B2C) ou sur des plateformes de vente entre particuliers (C2C). Un colis peut être livré en PR à un coût réduit et reste plusieurs jours à disposition du client avant d'être retourné au vendeur. Cependant, lorsque le PR choisi est saturé, le colis peut être refusé par le gestionnaire du PR et livré à un autre PR sur la tournée du transporteur. Ceci engendre une perte de temps pour le client et donc du mécontentement. Afin d'améliorer la satisfaction du client, lors d'un achat de produit il est donc important que le gestionnaire des PR (GPR) ne propose que des PR qui seront susceptibles d'accepter les colis. Cette tâche est complexe à cause des délais de livraison : un colis n'affecte la charge d'un PR qu'un à quelques jours après la commande, selon le transporteur. Cette thèse a pour objectif de prédire l'évolution de la charge d'un PR afin de permettre à un GPR de mieux équilibrer les charges de PR géographiquement proches et de limiter le risque de refus d'un colis. Pour cela, une analyse des historiques de charges de PR est effectuée afin de déterminer les paramètres importants influant sur la charge. Des modèles statistiques et issus de l'intelligence artificielle sont ensuite comparés. Dans une première partie, nous considérons la charge des PR liée aux achats en ligne effectués auprès de sites marchands (B2C). La modélisation de l'évolution de la charge d'un PR tient compte du nombre de colis dans chaque état (prêt à être expédié, en transit, livré au PR). Ensuite, le cycle de vie d'un colis est pris en compte dans le processus de prédiction, via des modèles des flux de commandes, des délais de livraison, et du processus de retrait. L'approche proposée reposant sur un modèle est comparée avec des approches exploitant la série temporelle du nombre de livraisons, de retraits et de la charge en termes de précision de prédiction. Dans un deuxième temps, nous considérons la partie de la charge des PR liée aux colis issus des sites de vente entre particuliers (C2C). Dans cette approche, la probabilité qu'un colis contribue à la charge d'un PR est évaluée en fonction de la connaissance de l'état du colis au moment de la prédiction. Le cycle de vie du colis est modélisé par un processus markovien à sauts. De plus, le nombre de colis déposés à destination d'un PR donné est décrit par un modèle autorégressif à changements markoviens (MSAR) pour prendre en compte de la non-stationarité de l'activité de vente entre particuliers. Les paramètres des modèles sont estimés à partir de données historiques sur les dates de chaque étape: dépôt, collecte, livraison et retrait. Il est ensuite possible de déduire la probabilité de la charge future d'un PR. Cette approche est à nouveau comparée à des techniques exploitant la série temporelle de la charge (modèle de Holt-Winters, SARIMA ou LSTM). Dans les deux cas, l'approche proposée considérant le cycle de vie des colis donne de meilleures performances de prédiction, en particulier pour la prédiction jusqu'à quatre jours à l'avance dans le cas du B2C et jusqu'à six jours à l'avance dans le cas du C2C, en comparaison avec les modèles de type LSTM, Holt-Winters, ou SARIMA. Ces résultats permettent de prédire la charge d'un PR avec une erreur relative de 3 colis à 1 jour, et de 7 colis à 3 jours pour les colis B2C, et de 5 colis à 1 jour et de 8 colis à 7 jours pour les colis C2C. Compte-tenu des délais entre commande et livraison (en général de 1 à 3 jours pour le B2C et de 4-5 jours pour le C2C), ces techniques de prédiction sont utiles pour permettre un équilibrage de la charge de PR voisins. Les travaux futurs seront pour but d’améliorer les approches de prévision et de déterminer une méthode d’équilibrage de charge pour mieux gérer le flux de colis
Pick-Up Points (PUP) represent an alternative delivery option for purchases from online retailers (Business-to-Customer, B2C) or online Customer-to-Customer (C2C) marketplaces. Parcels are delivered at a reduced cost to a PUP and wait until being picked up by customers or returned to the original warehouse if their sojourn time is over. When the chosen PUP is overloaded, the parcel may be refused and delivered to the next available PUP on the carrier tour. PUP load forecasting is an efficient method for the PUP management company (PMC) to better balance the load of each PUP and reduce the number of rerouted parcels. This thesis aims to describe the parcel flows in a PUP and to proposed models used to forecast the evolution of the load. For the PUP load associated with the B2C business, the parcel life-cycle has been taken into account in the forecasting process via models of the flow of parcel orders, the delivery delays, and the pick-up process. Model-driven and data-driven approaches are compared in terms of load-prediction accuracy. For the PUP load associated with the C2C business, the daily number of parcels dropped off with a given PUP as target is described by a Markov-Switching AutoRegressive model to account for the non-stationarity of the second-hand shopping activity. The life-cycle of each parcel is modeled by a Markov jump process. Model parameters are evaluated from previous parcel drop-off, delivery, and pick-up records. The probability mass function of the future load of a PUP is then evaluated using all information available on parcels with this PUP as target. In both cases, the proposed model-driven approaches give, for most of the cases, better forecasting performance, compared with the data-driven models, involving LSTM, Random forest, Holt-Winters, and SARIMA models, up to four days ahead in the B2C case and up to six days ahead in the C2C case. The first approach applied to the B2C parcel load yields an MAE of 3 parcels for the one-day ahead prediction and 8 parcels for the four-day ahead prediction. The second approach applied to the C2C parcel load yields an MAE of 5 parcels for the one-day ahead prediction and 8 parcels for the seven-day ahead prediction. These prediction horizons are consistent with the delivery delay associated with these parcels (1-3 days in the case of a B2C parcel and 4-5 days in the case of a C2C parcel). Future research directions aim at optimizing the prediction accuracy, especially in predicting future orders and studying a load-balancing approach to better share the load between PUPs

Abstract:
This thesis studies the effectiveness of 3+2 Point Seat Belt system in making the car environment safer. The new and enhanced 3+2 Point Belt has conventional 3 Point Belt and an additional shoulder Belt conveyed from other side of the occupant. This provides additional pulling force of occupant towards Seat which minimizes him/her moving freely and hitting inside the vehicle compartment when the vehicle makes a roll of 45° or more. It also restrains the occupant from ejecting out of the vehicle. The test simulates the Rollover situation with the occupant secured by 3+2 or 3 Point Seat Belts. The rollover situation on a Dolly structure is modeled using Mathematical Dynamical Model (MADYMO) code with the use of Easi-Crash CAE software tool. The test simulation is produced by giving required velocities and accelerations to the vehicle in accordance to Dolly Rollover (FMVSS 208). The results are then compared and analyzed to validate the effectiveness of 3+2 Point Seat Belt over 3 Point Seat Belt. The main areas of interest of this thesis are: (a) Analysis of Occupant’s responses (Kinematics) from the MADYMO simulation; (b) Evaluation of effectiveness of the restraint systems like 3+2 and 3 Point Seat Belts in attenuating the injuries incurred by occupants; (c) Evaluation of injury factors like Head Injury Criteria, Acceleration, Nij values, etc. Hybrid III 50 th percentile male dummy is used to study the occupant responses. The MADYMO results for the Dolly Rollover test is analyzed by comparing the injury parameter standards and specifications of NHTSA.

Abstract:
Exchange rate volatility is said to exemplify the economic health of a country. Exchange rate break points (known as structural breaks) have a momentous impact on the macroeconomy of a country. Nonetheless, this country study makes use of both unsupervised and supervised machine learning algorithms to classify structural changes as regime shifts in real exchange rates in South Africa. Weekly data for the period January 2003–June 2020 are used. To these data we apply both non-linear principal component analysis and Markov-switching generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity. The former approach is used to reduce the dimensionality of the data using an orthogonal linear transformation by preserving the statistical variance of the data, with the proviso that a new trait is non-linearly independent, and it identifies the number of regime switches that are to be used in the Markov-switching model. The latter is used to partition the variance in each regime by allowing an estimation of multiple break transitions. The transition breakpoints estimates derived from this machine learning approach produce results that are comparable to other methods on similar system sizes. Application of these methods shows that the machine learning approach can also be employed to identify structural changes as a regime-switching process. During times of financial crisis, the growing concern over exchange rate volatility, including its adverse effects on employment and growth, broadens the debates on exchange rate policies. Our results should help the South African monetary policy committee to anticipate when exchange rates will pick up and be prepared for the effects of periods of high exchange rates.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter picks up the terms of the polemic with Virgilian pastoral that began with Milanion in the first elegy, as Propertius repeatedly revisits the situation of the tenth Eclogue. Propertius refuses to accept the proposition that pastoral love would be an equally satisfying but less painful alternative to his own suffering. He points out that Gallus’ mistress in the tenth eclogue was probably bluffing; that the rustic environment of pastoral is less appealing than the urban context of elegy; and that the whole amatory experience in pastoral is substandard. The polemic climaxes at the end of the first book, when Propertius constructs the Hylas-elegy as an elaborate allegory for the dangerous allurements of the Eclogues. Virgil’s antithesis of Aristaeus and Orpheus is, in part, a response to that allegory, and an adaptation of Propertius’ own antithesis of Amphion and Orpheus.

Abstract:
Every working mother’s path is unique and should be celebrated, not lamented. Yet all too frequently, working mothers are presented with advice, rules to follow, or guidelines as if all our experiences are the same. The goal of this book is to provide readers with stories and research that support the notion of owning and feeling confident in the choices they make as they navigate a series of work and family transitions. Furthermore, we often reduce work/life challenges to a single point in time, such as the decision to return to work after the birth of a child. However, work and family decisions are anything but stagnant. They shift as life and careers shift and are often filled with unpredictable events. By understanding and anticipating these shifts, working mothers can develop the resiliency they need at home and at work. We hope women will pick up this book at times when they may not be feeling confident, when they may regret a choice, or when they are stepping into an unknown situation, so that they can reframe any negative emotions they may be feeling in a more positive light. We believe that if women approach uncertainty about their current or future state with hope, rather than fear, they will have a greater likelihood of living life with maternal optimism.

Abstract:
In the fields of literature and the visual arts, 'zero degree' represents a neutral aesthetic situated in response to, and outside of, the dominant cultural order. Taking Roland Barthes' 1953 book Writing Degree Zero as just one starting point, but with reference to broader historical discourse that picks up on critical notions of 'zero', 'zero degree', and the 'neutral, this volume examines the historical, theoretical and visual impact of the term and draws directly upon the editors' ongoing collaboration with artist and writer Victor Burgin. The book is composed of key chapters by the editors and Burgin, a series of collaborative texts with Burgin and four commissioned essays concerned with the relationship between Barthes and Burgin in the context of the spectatorship of art. It includes an in-depth dialogue regarding Burgin's long-term reading of Barthes and a lengthy image-text, offering critical exploration of the Image (in echo of earlier theories of the Text). Also included are translations of two projections works by Burgin, Belledonne and Prairie, which work alongside and inform the collected essays. Overall, the book provides a combined reading of both Barthes and Burgin, which in turn leads to new considerations of visual culture, the spectatorship of art and the political aesthetic. Taken together, the volume argues that the critical concept of 'zero degree' presents a common, underlying interest threaded through the work of Roland Barthes and Victor Burgin. With respect to literature and the visual arts, it specifies a 'neutral' aesthetic situated in response to and outside of the dominant cultural order. This book provides an historical, theoretical and visual exploration of this term as it pertains to the writing and art practices of both Barthes and Burgin.

Abstract:
AbstractThere were a number of medical experts who contested the Chamber’s claims about mine safety. The dissent began after 1910 and stretched well into the apartheid era. The dissenters included Drs John Mitchell, Eustace Cluver and Peter Allan, all at one time senior members of the South African Department of Public Health. There was also Dr A.H. Watt, the medical officer with Rand Insurance; Dr Basil Dormer, the Union’s Chief Tuberculosis Officer; Anthony Mavrogordato of the SAIMR; and Dr Gerrit Schepers, who served as a specialist with the Silicosis Bureau from 1944 until 1954. The dissenters pointed out that dust exposures in the mines and conditions in the compounds were unsafe; that infectious disease, most notably tuberculosis, was being spread from the mines to labour-sending areas; that the conduct of mine medicals was inadequate and was failing to pick up compensable disease; and that mine wages were so low that many families were malnourished. The lone dissenter to voice all of those concerns was Dr Neil Macvicar, who for almost forty years served as a medical missionary in the Eastern Cape. Macvicar, who worked initially in tuberculosis prevention programmes in Scotland, had first-hand knowledge of mine recruiting in Nyasaland. Macvicar’s views about prevention were conventional. He believed that tuberculosis could only be combatted by social change: governments must guarantee food security and promote the education of patients and their families on how to manage the disease.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper considers an algorithm on the basis of parameter adaptation for mass and stiffness embedded in the eigenvalue problem solver. The algorithm is intended for large finite element (FE) models. The errors, which can be reduced by the procedure described in this paper, occur due to detailed features, which would require an unduly fine mesh to be included in the model, or in uncertainties in the description of mechanical behaviour, material properties, etc. Another source for errors are model reduction techniques (superelement technique) necessary for the application of the model structure in an automatic control circuit (smart structures). It is a well-known fact that the natural frequencies can be measured much more accurately than mode shapes, for mode shapes can only be measured for accessible regions and normally for translational degrees of freedom (DOF). Therefore the algorithm uses only measured natural frequencies (frequency differences) and the calculated mode shape vectors to determine the parameter changes. In a new approach it is also possible to select automatically, or by experience, those co-ordinates from the measured mode shape vectors that correspond to points with high sensitivity or other very reliable points. An interface system designed to exchange data between the experimental modal analysis system (EMA) and the FE program ensures, that the measured and calculated mode shape vectors are orthonormalised in the same way and the points of the FE mesh correspond to the pick up points for the measurement. Examples of industrial parts at the end of the paper illustrate how the procedure works and what influence we can obtain by inclusion of some co-ordinates of measured mode shape vectors.

"The Last mile delivery is known as one of the most costly and highest polluting stages within the food supply chain where food companies deliver the food products to the final consumers. As a new approach in this area, currently, a few food retailers offering pick up point service delivery using lockers. This paper provides a comprehensive comparison of the sustainability performance between home service delivery and picks up point service delivery using lockers. Hypothetical last mile food models for both approaches are developed. A Vehicle Route Problem with Time Window (VRPTW) is developed to minimise the CO2 emission and implemented using the simulated annealing algorithm which is programmed in MATLAB software. Supply Chain GURU Software is adapted to implement the Greenfield analysis to identify the optimal number and the location of the locker facilities through a Greenfield service constraint."

Abstract:
According to the World Health Organization worldwide diabetes report, the number of diabetic patients has surged from 108 million in the 1980s to 422 million in 2014. According to researchers, the numbers will continue to climb in the next decades. Diabetes is a sickness that requires long-term self-care and close monitoring to be appropriately put under control. As a result, continuous monitoring of blood sugar levels has the potential to save millions of lives. This paper proposes a Blockchain-based platform that connects the patients, healthcare practitioners (HP), and caregivers for a continuous monitoring and care ofdiabetic patients. It lets the patients to securely connected to HP for the purpose of remote patient monitoring (telemedicine), whilst preserving patient data privacy using the blockchain technology. IoT sensors are used to read sugar levels and store these data in a tamper-proof immutable ledger (Hyperledger). This platform provides an End-to-End movement of the patient's data. That is, from the point where it is formed (sensors) to the point it ends up in the HP side. It gives patient a control-and-track function to maintain/track data movement. It provides a unique feature in allowing the patient to keep track of the private data and to pick who they want to share the data with and for how long (and for what reason). The platform is developed in two stages. Initially, the concept is implemented using the Hyperledger Fabric. Then, a Blockchain based on a novel Proof-of-Review (PoR) consensus model is included on to provide efficient performance and scalability in the Hyperledger fabric. Essentially, this proposed platform is to alleviate the pain points in traditional healthcare systems in the scopes of information exchange, data security, and privacy maintenance for real-time diabetic patient monitoring.

Abstract:
Abstract This system delivers on improved safety, robustness, and efficiency of a casing exit operation by providing a positive impact in the reduction of carbon emissions. This is possible due to the system's ability to reduce the required time to pick up, deploy, run in hole, install, and to perform the milling operation. The reduction in time in these operations translates to an increase in personnel safety and reduces carbon emissions to the environment. The system furthers the efforts of safety with its ability to combine the traditional required separate clean-out run with the installation run. This substantial time savings and deletion of a separate clean-out operation removes the opportunity of exposing personnel to the risk of potential falling objects, cluttering of the rig floor with additional tools, and the handling of the tools. Traditional whipstock systems utilize a shear bolt as it's mill to whipstock interface, whereas this system uses a self-aligning cylinder that can be assembled on the rig floor or can be pre-assembled in the shop prior to being loaded out. The benefits of being pre-assembled allows for the system to be picked up and directly installed into the well, thus preventing personnel exposure to dangerous pinch points. Traditional whipstock systems are limited to a run-in hole rate of two minutes per stand. The limitation of the slow run-in rate promotes delays in the progression of subsequent tasks. The long durations while running the traditional system in hole can lead to distractions and complacency resulting in injuries due to lack of focus. The system can prevent failed runs and reduced trips with its combination of redundant activated anchor and mill to whipstock interface, the anchor being configurable in either hydraulic or annular activation, can also be activated by setting down on a bridge plug, fish, or cement plug. With the use of the connector style whipstock, the anchor can be dragged up hole and reoriented if needed to the original kickoff point (KOP). This eliminates the necessity to pull out of hole and to re-run due to a failure in setting the whipstock. Thus, preventing unnecessary changes to the casing exit operation and decreasing handling of tools by personnel.

Abstract:
The first-mile, last-mile problem is a significant deterrent for potential transit riders, especially in suburban neighborhoods with low density. Transit agencies have typically sought to solve this problem by adding parking spaces near transit stations and adding stops to connect riders to fixed-route transit. However, these measures are often only short-term solutions. In the last few years, transit agencies have tested whether new mobility services, such as ridehailing, ridesharing, and microtransit, can offer fast, reliable connections to and from transit stations. However, there is limited research that evaluates the potential impacts of these projects. Concurrently, there is growing interest in the future of automated vehicles (AVs) and the potential of AVs to solve this first-mile problem by reducing the cost of providing these new mobility services to promote access to transit. This paper expands upon existing research to model the simulate the travel and revenue impacts of a fleet of automated vehicles that provide transit access services in the San Francisco Bay Area offered over a range of fares. The model simulates a fleet of AVs for first-mile transit access at different price points for three different service models (door-to-door ridehailing and ridesharing and meeting point ridesharing services). These service models include home-based drop-off and pick-up for single passenger service (e.g., Uber and Lyft), home-based drop-off and pick-up for multi-passenger service (e.g., microtransit), and meeting point multi-passenger service (e.g., Via).

Sessa, Guido, and Gregory Martin. role of FLS3 and BSK830 in pattern-triggered immunity in tomato. United States Department of Agriculture, January 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2016.7604270.bard.

Abstract:
Pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) located on the plant cell surface initiate immune responses by perceiving conserved pathogen molecules known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). PRRs typically function in multiprotein complexes that include transmembrane and cytoplasmickinases and contribute to the initiation and signaling of pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). An important challenge is to identify molecular components of PRR complexes and downstream signaling pathways, and to understand the molecular mechanisms that mediate their function. In research activities supported by BARD-4931, we studied the role of the FLAGELLIN SENSING 3 (FLS3) PRR in the response of tomato leaves to flagellin-derivedPAMPs and PTI. In addition, we investigated molecular properties of the tomato brassinosteroid signaling kinase 830 (BSK830) that physically interacts with FLS3 and is a candidate for acting in the FLS3 signaling pathway. Our investigation refers to the proposal original objectives that were to: 1) Investigate the role of FLS3 and its interacting proteins in PTI; 2) Investigate the role of BSK830 in PTI; 3) Examine molecular and phosphorylation dynamics of the FLS3-BSK830 interaction; 4) Examine the possible interaction of FLS3 and BSK830 with Pstand Xcveffectors. We used CRISPR/Cas9 techniques to develop plants carrying single or combined mutations in the FLS3 gene and in the paralogsFLS2.1 and FLS2.2 genes, which encode the receptor FLAGELLIN SENSING2 (FLS2), and analyzed their function in PTI. Domain swapping analysis of the FLS2 and FLS3 receptors revealed domains of the proteins responsible for PAMP detection and for the different ROS response initiated by flgII-28/FLS3 as compared to flg22/FLS2. In addition, in vitro kinase assays and point mutations analysis identified FLS2 and FLS3 domains required for kinase activity and ATP binding. In research activities on tomato BSK830, we found that it interacts with PRRs and with the co-receptor SERK3A and PAMP treatment affects part of these interactions. CRISPR/Cas9 bsk830 mutant plants displayed enhanced pathogen susceptibility and reduced ROS production upon PAMP treatment. In addition, BSK830 interacted with 8 Xanthomonastype III secreted effectors. Follow up analysis revealed that among these effectors XopAE is part of an operon, is translocated into plant cells, and displays E3 ubiquitinligase activity. Our investigation was also extended to other Arabidopsis and tomato BSK family members. Arabidopsis BSK5 localized to the plant cell periphery, interacted with receptor-like kinases, and it was phosphorylatedin vitro by the PEPR1 and EFRPRRs. bsk5 mutant plants displayed enhanced susceptibility to pathogens and were impaired in several, but not all, PAMP-induced responses. Conversely, BSK5 overexpression conferred enhanced disease resistance and caused stronger PTI responses. Genetic complementation suggested that proper localization, kinase activity, and phosphorylation by PRRs are critical for BSK5 function. BSK7 and BSK8 specifically interacted with the FLS2 PRR, their respective mutant plants were more susceptible to B. cinereaand displayed reduced flg22-induced responses. The tomato BSK Mai1 was found to interact with the M3KMAPKKK, which is involved in activation of cell death associated with effector-triggered immunity. Silencing of Mai1 in N. benthamianaplants compromised cell death induced by a specific class of immune receptors. In addition, co-expression of Mai1 and M3Kin leaves enhanced MAPKphosphorylation and cell death, suggesting that Mai1 acts as a molecular link between pathogen recognition and MAPK signaling. Finally, We identified the PP2C phosphatase Pic1 that acts as a negative regulator of PTI by interacting with and dephosphorylating the receptor-like cytoplasmickinase Pti1, which is a positive regulator of plant immunity. The results of this investigation shed new light on the molecular characteristics and interactions of components of the immune system of crop plants providing new knowledge and tools for development of novel strategies for disease control.
