An urban agricultural block construction method based on low-carbon concepts: A case study of the Beijing-Tianjin area in China

With the ongoing progress of urbanization, various issues such as resource scarcity, climate change, and carbon emissions overload have gradually emerged. Urban agriculture (UA) is recognized as a pivotal strategy to promote sustainable urban development. In this context, the study proposes a spatial scale hierarchy, encompassing “single building - building cluster - urban block," to formulate spatial strategies for the theoretical model of urban agricultural blocks. The theoretical model integrates production spaces, production methods, and spatial systems based on relevant design principles and the needs of residents. Nankai District's Qingfeng Road East Block in Tianjin is used as the site for applying and simulating the theoretical model. The results of the study show that UA in a 500m × 500m block can ideally eliminate the need for external food inputs by 100% for starchy vegetables, legumes and fruits, and meat/poultry, while achieving a 254.73% self-sufficiency rate for fungi. Additionally, it can reduce energy inputs by 28.33%, water inputs by 38.13%, and completely eliminate waste output for 8754 people. Carbon emission analysis indicates that the urban agricultural block can reduce approximately 2250.01t CO2 emissions from buildings and waste, with greater carbon-neutral potential in transportation and agriculture, forestry, and other land uses (AFOLU). This is significant for tackling various urban challenges and enhancing future development.

Hybrid Deep Learning Model for Traffic Flow and Speed Forecasting at Urban Junction

The hybrid deep learning model H-CNN-LSTM (Hybrid Convolution Neural Network and Long Short-Term Memory) is introduced in this paper. The model combines CNN to extract traffic flow and speed features, LSTM networks to model temporal dependencies, and employs a combined matrix and a rolling forward input method during data input, enhancing the coarse-grained extraction of traffic data and further refining the utilization of adjacent data. Our research focuses on the complex dynamic traffic conditions of Fuli East Road in Xigu District, Lanzhou City of China. Using detailed traffic video data collected during one month of evening rush hours, we predict future traffic using the H-CNN-LSTM model. By comparing it with other prediction methods, we validate the effectiveness of our approach in predicting traffic flow and speed in real-world traffic scenarios

An Assessment of the Urban Streetscape Using Multiscale Data and Semantic Segmentation in Jinan Old City, China

Urban street space is a significant component of urban public spaces and an important aspect of people’s perceptions of a city. Jinan Old City exemplifies the balance between the supply of and demand for green spaces in urban streets. The sense of comfort and the demand level of street spaces are measured via the space demand index. Open platform data, such as those from Baidu Maps and Amap, are evaluated using methods including ArcGIS network analysis and Segnet semantic segmentation. The results obtained from such evaluations indicate that, in terms of the green space supply, the overall level for Shangxin Street in Jinan is not high. Only 24% of the selected sites have an adequate green space supply. The level on Wenhua West Road is higher than that on Shangxin Street. The block on the western side of Shangxin Street has the highest green space demand, with a decreasing trend from west to east. There are several higher selection points in the middle section of Shangxin Street. The demand is lowest in the middle of Wenhua East Road. Shangxin Street’s demand is higher than that of Wenhua West Road. The supply and demand are highly matched on Wenhua West Road and poorly matched on Shangxin Street, with 44.12% of the area in the “low supply, high demand” quadrant. This study proposes targeted optimization strategies based on supply and demand, thereby providing research ideas and methods for urban renewal.

Investigating the Mechanical Behaviour of Unbound Granular Material (UGM) for Road Pavement Construction Applications: A Western Victoria Case Study

The behaviour of unbound granular materials (UGMs) used in road construction is crucial in determining the longevity and performance of road pavement. Geotechnical analysis can assist engineers in selecting suitable materials and designing road pavements that meet industry standards. This paper presents the results of laboratory geotechnical tests conducted on unbound granular materials (UGMs) collected from three sites (Roses Gap, Rules East, and Polkemmet Road) in Horsham, Victoria, Australia. UGMs were investigated for their mechanical behaviour and suitability as subgrade materials for road pavements. The study utilised laboratory geotechnical tests, including particle size distribution (PSD), Atterberg limits, compaction (Proctor) test, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR), and repeated load triaxial (RLT) tests, to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of the UGM samples. The study indicates that UGM samples collected from different locations displayed variations in their geotechnical properties, such as particle size distribution, water absorption, and CBR strength. Roses Gap samples showed weak cohesion properties, and significant vertical displacements after repeated triaxial tests. However, among the samples in this site, samples with higher clay content (RG21) demonstrated the most promise in triaxial tests. Similarly, the Rules East samples were found to be suitable for low-traffic subgrades due to their satisfactory CBR and RLT testing results, albeit with little cohesion from clay content. Out of three locations, Polkemmet samples were identified as potential subgrade applications, with PR12 being the top recommendation overall. It satisfied PSD, CBR, and RLT test conditions due to acceptable particle size in the largest range, highest CBR strength value, and lowest permanent displacement. The study's findings provide useful information for the design of road pavements using these materials and the characterisation of rural materials around the Horsham region for future use in various other contexts.

INTERSECTION ARRANGEMENT DESIGN ON SULTAN HAMID II ROAD - GUSTI SITUT MAHMUD ROAD – 28 OKTOBER ROAD – SELAT PANJANG ROAD PONTIANAK DUE TO THE OPERATION OF THE LANDAK PARALLEL BRIDGE

The signalized intersection on Sultan Hamid II Road - Gusti Situt Mahmud Road – 28 Oktober Road – Selat Panjang Road is an intersection in Pontianak city with high traffic problems. The construction of the Landak parallel bridge initially aimed to reduce congestion, but this created an imbalance that caused congestion. This research analyses the performance of the intersection using the 1997 Indonesian Road Capacity Manual method and VISSIM software simulation. Data was collected in the form of intersection geometric data, traffic light cycle time, vehicle speed, and traffic volume taken for three days with a survey tool in the form of CCTV as a recorder at 06.00 - 18.00 WIB. Then, the data collected is processed into the basis of research to calculate the performance of the intersection in existing conditions and develop alternative improvement plans using MKJI 1997 and VISSIM software simulations. In the analysis with the MKJI 1997 method, the North road's service level is LOS C; the East road is LOS C; the South road is LOS B; the West road is LOS F, and the highest degree of saturation is 1.56. Analysis with VISSIM software simulation obtained the level of service of the intersection LOS C. After making alternative changes in cycle time, geometrics, and restrictions on the time of prohibition of passing obtained in alternative 15 with changes from signalized intersections to roundabouts and geometric changes.

Tree Failure Assessment of London Plane (Platanus × acerifolia (Aiton) Willd.) Street Trees in Nanjing City

The London plane (Platanus × acerifolia (Aiton) Willd.) street tree is a symbolic tree species in Nanjing City, which is known as the “city card”. However, accidents such as street trees falling over cars, affecting traffic, and hurting people have seriously affected the daily lives of citizens. Thus, it is of vital significance to accurately assess the potential for tree failure in London plane street trees in Nanjing City. This study comprehensively considers the growth condition of London plane street trees and their impact on traffic, establishes a scientific street tree failure assessment scheme that contains eight characteristics, creates a tree failure assessment database by thoroughly collecting data on trees, and develops a tree failure assessment model based on factor analysis and k-means clustering. The assessment results show that street trees that pose a high or medium potential for failure are present in proportions of 4.47% and 34.85%, respectively, and are mostly found in Gulou District, Xuanwu District, and Qinhuai District. The average tree failure score of London plane street trees on Changjiang Road in Xuanwu District is the highest, while the road with the lowest tree failure score is Mufu East Road in Gulou District. The results will provide a scientific basis for the maintenance of London plane street trees in Nanjing City and have reference significance for other street tree failure assessment studies.

Evaluation of Urban Rail Transit Station Effectiveness Based on TOD Principle -Taking Shanghai as an Example

The rapid development of China's cities has led to a variety of traffic problems. Building a public transportation-oriented urban space development model and playing the role of rail transit in urban development are important measures for the upgrading and construction of China's cities. In order to evaluate the development effect of TOD mode of existing rail transit stations, this paper combines the concept of TOD development and 5D principles to establish a set of urban rail transit station effectiveness evaluation index system, determines the four first-level indicators and 13 second-level indicators based on transportation, society, economy and environment, uses the analytic hierarchy method to determine the weights, and analyzes 30 stations of Shanghai Metro Line 2 as a case study.Based on the Arcgis spatial analysis technology, the data is organized and the indexes are calculated. The sites with the strongest TOD ability are Nanjing East Road and Jing'an Temple, the worst sites are Pudong International Airport and Haitian Third Road, their gap mainly lies in the level of economic development around the stations and the degree of crowd gathering,and finally the paper combined with the evaluation results to give development suggestions, this method can be used to study the level of development of rail transit stations in different cities and different regions. This method can be used to study the development level of rail transit stations in different cities and regions, and give suggestions for improving the TOD situation of stations.

Numerical Model for Rectangular Pedestrian Underpass Excavations with Pipe-Roof Preconstruction Method: A Case Study

Under weak geological conditions, soil deformation and surface settlement are the key factors affecting the success of shallow-buried rectangular excavation. To investigate this issue, an underpass of Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei City was used as a case study. The surface settlement and lateral deformation of an underground diaphragm wall caused by the excavation of a rectangular pedestrian underpass using the pipe-roof preconstruction method (PPM) were investigated by 3D finite element analysis. The numerical analysis results showed that the constructed numerical analysis model had considerable accuracy. The use of PPM combined with a box culvert structure to form a pedestrian underpass could effectively control the surface displacement above the box culvert. Under the condition of the same sectional area, the smaller the width of the pipe-roof structure, the more the impact on the ground surface was reduced. The maximum positive bending moment and maximum negative bending moment on the pipe roof produced by excavation at each stage were roughly inversely related to the height per the width of the cross-section of the pipe diaphragm structure. The results showed that the pipe-roof structure was suitable for underground excavation with shallow-buried depth in the soft soil of the Taipei Basin. Moreover, the shallow-buried box culvert was more sensitive to the subsidence caused by construction than the deep-buried box culvert.

Influence of hydrogeological and hydrological factors on stability of railways in areas of permafrost distribution (example of Far East Road, Russia)

In 2019, the Institute of Permafrost of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Natural Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences concluded the agreements on joint research work. They decided to study the evolution of frozen soils at the base of roads and the territory adjacent to them, as well as to justify a set of measures to stabilize the permafrost situation. The works provide the study of the reaction of permafrost along the routes of railway lines in Russia and China. In Russia, the parties are examining in detail individual sections of the Far Eastern and Trans-Baikal railways. We present the results of surveys on one of these sections: a segment of the track dedicated to the Tynda station of the Far Eastern Railway. The object of research is very indicative from the point of the need to assess the dynamics of geocryological conditions in the strip of long-term operated linear structures. Here, the deformations of the roadbed have been manifested almost since the end of its construction (1974). Despite the implementation of several technical solutions in the form of cooling structures aimed at maintaining the soil temperature at the base of the structure in a frozen state, at present, the road is still subject to deformations. According to the current research results, it was revealed that the main reason for their occurrence is the flooding of the territory due to both natural and anthropogenic factors.

Optimization of Safety Facilities for Collision Analysis between Motor and Non-Motor Vehicles at Intersections

With the increasing number of the motor and non-motor vehicles, conflicts and safety risks between motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles are increasing. Among them, the collision between right-turning vehicles and non-motor vehicles going straight leads to traffic accidents accounting for up to 50% of the non-accident cases at intersections. The intersection of Erdos East Street and Xing an’ South Road in Hohhot City is selected as the research object. Analyze the conflict between right-turning motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. The optimized design was carried out from three perspectives: right-turn channelization island design, road deceleration facilities layout, and signal control, and the road network model was built with VISSIM survey data to demonstrate and evaluate the scheme. The results show that when the traffic volume is unchanged, the number of non-collision decreases and the passage time of non-motor vehicles decreases by 4%. The travel time for left-turn vehicles also dropped 16 percent. It shows that the collision between motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles at right-turn intersections is significantly improved through the above optimal design scheme.

CelebratingThe Journal of Rheumatology’s 50th Year of Publication

The year 2023 marks the 50th year of publication of The Journal of Rheumatology . To celebrate this milestone, I will look back on our history from its inception to the present day, highlight some significant accomplishments, examine the special features that will be published to mark the occasion, and consider the future. The Journal was established in 1974 by Dr. Metro Ogryzlo as an independent, privately held, international medical journal that was not associated with a national rheumatology society. Metro was dedicated to the promotion of rheumatology. He recognized that the concept of rheumatology as a separate specialty was beginning to be recognized in North America, and, to help disseminate new scientific information, he created The Journal of Rheumatology . In 1974, there were only 11 other rheumatology journals and only one other journal was not associated with a national rheumatology society. The Journal began as a quarterly publication in March 1974. It was formally introduced at the VI Pan American Congress in June 1974 in Toronto. There were 130 pages total for the entire year of 1974. The Journal began publishing a bimonthly edition in 1979, and in 1988 it became a monthly print version (the 15th volume). With “Perspectives in Pediatric Rheumatology,” The Journal was the first journal to offer a publication dedicated to topics in pediatric rheumatology and continues to publish important research in this … Address correspondence to Dr. E.D.
