Cross-Border Travel Behavior Analysis of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Using MXL-BMA Model by Yajie Zou, Wanbing Han, Bo Lin, Bing Wu, Linbo Li, Shubo Wu, Malik Muneeb Abid

“…Therefore, a Bayesian model averaging (BMA) approach is applied to model travel mode choice behavior considering using revealed preference/stated preference (RP/SP) fusion data collected by questionnaires online. A structural equation model (SEM) is adopted to explore the potential relationship between latent variables, and two travel modes (i.e., cross-border bus and cross-border private car) are selected to analyze the cross-border travel mode choice of the HZMB. …”

Optimizing nanoparticle selection for enhanced oil recovery in carbonate rock using hybrid low salinity water flooding by Sunlee Han, Youngsoo Lee

“…The findings reveal a key finding: the LSW/NP flooding process effectively balances NP-induced plugging and rock dissolution, thereby maintaining the pore structure integrity of carbonate rocks. SiO2 NPs demonstrated a unique ability to shift rock wettability from oil-wet to intermediate-wet conditions, while Al2O3 NPs exhibited superior interfacial activity, significantly reducing interfacial tension. …”

Investigating the Effect of Prompt Treatment on Malaria Prevalence in Children Aged below Five Years in Zambia: A Nested Case-Control Study in a Cross-Sectional Survey by Mukumbuta Nawa

“…The malaria cases were more likely to be from rural areas (p=0.001), poorest households (p=0.049), and who lived in improvised housing structures (p=0.004) compared with the controls. Data from low and moderate malaria endemic areas did not have sufficient cases for the analysis to proceed; however, data from high endemic areas showed borderline evidence (p=0.054) that prompt treatment reduces the risk of malaria by almost half in the short-term aOR 0.057 (95% CI 0.32–1.01). …”
