Study on the mechanical properties of layered gradient structure PBT-based flame retardant composite materials by Peng Cui, Lei Niu, Shibo Ren

“…Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) was widely used for its excellent mechanical properties, low moisture absorption, and good chemical corrosion resistance. To enhance the flame retardancy of PBT while addressing the decrease in mechanical properties caused by flame retardants, this study employed brominated polystyrene (BPS) as the flame retardant and modified nano-antimony trioxide (nano-Sb _2 O _3 ) as a synergistic flame retardant. …”

Spatial Modeling of Travel Demand Accounting for Multicollinearity and Different Sampling Strategies: A Stop-Level Case Study by Samuel de França Marques, Cira Souza Pitombo, J. Jaime Gómez-Hernández

“…The main contributions are as follows: by accounting for the spatial heterogeneity of the predictor dataset, the GWPCA can identify the most important factor affecting transit ridership even in bus stops with no information on boarding and alighting; the spatial modeling of stop-level ridership data using GWPCA components as explanatory variables allows visualizing the spatially varying effects from predictors on ridership, supporting the land use planning at a local level; GWPCA coupled with kriging simultaneously addresses the multicollinearity of predictor data, its spatial heterogeneity, and the spatial dependence of the stop-level ridership variable, thus enhancing the goodness-of-fit measures of the transit ridership prediction in unsampled stops; and a balanced sample on predictor data and well-spread in the geographic space might be preferred to accurately estimate missing stop-level ridership data. …”
