The Importance Customers Place On Specific Service Elements Of Bus Rapid Transit, Michael R. Baltes Dec 2003

The Importance Customers Place On Specific Service Elements Of Bus Rapid Transit, Michael R. Baltes

Journal of Public Transportation

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a rapidly growing national trend in the provision of public transportation. At present, with more than 150 New Start Rail Projects currently in the FTA pipeline, a wide range of alternatives is necessary to fulfill the demand for cost-effective rapid public transportation. As a lower cost, high-capacity mode of public transportation, BRT can serve as an option to help address the growing traffic congestion and mobility problems in both urban and nonurban areas. Careful documentation and analyses of BRT systems and the unique features of these projects will help determine the most effective features offered …


Bus Transit And Land Use: Illuminating The Interaction, Andy Johnson Dec 2003

Bus Transit And Land Use: Illuminating The Interaction, Andy Johnson

Journal of Public Transportation

Attracting people to public transit in urban areas has proven to be a difficult task indeed. Recent research on the transportation–land use connection has suggested that transit use can be increased through transit-friendly land use planning. While significant evidence exists that a relationship between land use and transit is apparent, the exact nature of the relationship remains ambiguous. Despite the murky nature of the relationship, many practitioners and researchers have asserted claims regarding land use policy, namely TOD, and its effect on travel. This article examines the effect of land use, socioeconomics, and bus transit service on transit demand in …


Evaluating The Urban Commute Experience: A Time Perception Approach, Yuen-Wah Li Dec 2003

Evaluating The Urban Commute Experience: A Time Perception Approach, Yuen-Wah Li

Journal of Public Transportation

This article examines the perception of travel time and evaluation of the urban commute experience. It reviews the literature on time perception in psychology, positing perceived travel time as a function of commute characteristics, journey episodes, travel environments, and expectancy. Insights from emerging behavioral economics are drawn to illuminate evaluation of the urban commute experience. The perception–evaluation correspondence presents the potential of a new research approach to travel behavior. A time perception model for evaluating urban commute experience is formulated to accommodate all the posited relationships, with possible moderations by goal attainment, economic values associated, and time urgency. Practical significance …

A Survey Of Student Term-Time Employment: Choosing Subpopulations For Further Study, Patrick Hughes, Bruce I. Mallette Dec 2003

A Survey Of Student Term-Time Employment: Choosing Subpopulations For Further Study, Patrick Hughes, Bruce I. Mallette

Journal of Student Financial Aid

Despite substantive research at the national level, local institutional information on students who work off campus while enrolled full time has been sparse. After considering the need for local studies examining the causes of term-time employment and employment's role in persistence, this research explores the appropriateness of using total student cohorts as opposed to subpopulations restricted to financial aid applicants. Distinguishing between residency groups is also considered. The analyses demonstrate that employment was locally substantial, persistence studies are best paired with total populations, and employment studies are best paired with populations restricted to students who have financial aid data on …

Hot Melt Inks For Rotogravure-Formulation, Printability And Rheology, Hrishikesh Shreeram Bhide Dec 2003

Hot Melt Inks For Rotogravure-Formulation, Printability And Rheology, Hrishikesh Shreeram Bhide

Masters Theses

A new generation of "Hot melt inks for Rotogravure" was formulated. They melt during heating and reach printable viscosity between 75° C and 130° C, depending on formulation. After printing onto substrate, they solidify. Selections of the best formulations were done based on ink rheology, and print analysis. The formulated inks were also printed on the Moser sheet-fed proofing press .. The rheological data indicated that hot melt inks (without viscosity modifier) have viscosity in the range of 10°-101 Poise at 95°C. After printed on a laboratory gravure K-Proofer, the inks showed good reflective density (0.90 - Yellow, 1.30 …

Effect Of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation On Postural Hypotension In Patients With Cervical Cord Injury, Max J. L. Chen, Pao-Tsai Cheng, Mei-Yun Liaw, Alice M.K. Wong, Wei-Shung Wong, Tshe-Shun Shie

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Postural hypotension is often observed in patients with cervical spinal cord injury. It may cause syncope, and interfere with sitting and standing trainings. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) was reported to be able to alleviate and even prevent postural hypotension. The exact mechanism is not certain yet, but it may be related to vagal reflexes or muscle pumping actions. To investigate the effect of NMES on tetraplegic patients, we have recruited 10 patients with acute cervical spinal cord injuries (American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A and B) suffering from postural hypotension. These patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: four …
