The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990(ADA)Paratransit Cost Issues and Solutions for the Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC) and Beyond
… public transit agencies, especially the rising costs of providing services for paratransit. Even though paratransit services are one of the most efficient ways to help move people with disabilities and the elderly, they are the most expensive and the most difficult to coordinate and operate. The …

Compressed and dynamic fault dictionaries for fault isolation
This thesis addresses many of the issues that have in the past limited the use of fault dictionaries for VLSI fault isolation. Dictionary formats have been analyzed, and a new, more accurate matching algorithm has been developed. Alternative techniques for compressing fault dictionaries have been …

Development of a Remote Sensing-Based Agriculture Monitoring Drought Index and Its Application Over Semi-Arid Region
… season. However, due to different technical and cost issues such high spatio-temporal remote sensing data are still unavailable. Thus, we opted to develop a spatio-temporal image-fusion model (STI-FM) to generate synthetic Landsat-8 like data with 30 m spatial and 8 day temporal resolutions upon …

Would a water market system coupled with a beneficial use doctrine similar to that of the western United States help foster sustainability of water resource allocation in New Zealand?
… systems are in place, provided transaction costs are low enough to address opportunity cost issues there is no reason why a market system should not be successful once the structure becomes generally acceptable, given a market system for water rights is somewhat novel in New Zealand. While …
