Roadways for People
“Seventy years of a car-only approach—not car-centric, it’s car-only—is actually not just non-driver hostile, it’s driver hostile. No one benefits.” —Beth Osborne, Director, Transportation for America The car-only approach in transportation planning and engineering has led to the construction of roadways that have torn apart and devalued communities, especially Black and Brown communities. Forging a new path to repair this damage requires a community solutions-based approach to planning, designing, and building our roadways. When Lynn Peterson began working as a transportation engineer, she was taught to evaluate roadway projects based only on metrics related to driver safety, ...
Climate Change Impacts on Ocean and Coastal Law
Ocean and coastal law has grown rapidly in the past three decades as a specialty area within natural resources law and environmental law. The protection of oceans has received increased attention in the past decade because of sea-level rise, ocean acidification, the global overfishing crisis, widespread depletion of marine biodiversity such as marine mammals and coral reefs, and marine pollution. Paralleling the growth of ocean and coastal law, climate change regulation has emerged as a focus of international environmental diplomacy, and has gained increased attention in the wake of disturbing and abrupt climate change related impacts throughout the world that have profound implications for ...
A Theoretical and Simulation-based Examination of Household Vehicle Choice Through an Adoption Perspective
In an era of fluctuating energy costs where we observe increasing concerns for environmental protection, energy sources and energy efficiency, it is of great importance to understand the mechanisms underlying consumer vehicle choices. This dissertation develops a theoretical model of vehicle choice by embedding the disaggregate indirect utility function model of household choice in the aggregate framework of the threshold model of adoption/diffusion. This approach incorporates multiple sources of heterogeneity including household income levels, household structure, comfort/quality levels and attitudes towards environmental awareness. Then, we examine the diffusion of vehicle adoption through...
Essentials of Glycobiology
Sugar chains (glycans) are often attached to proteins and lipids and have multiple roles in the organization and function of all organisms. "Essentials of Glycobiology" describes their biogenesis and function and offers a useful gateway to the understanding of glycans.
Understanding the Accessibility, Economic and Social Equity Impacts of Urban Greenway Infrastructure
“City Greenways” is a concept proposed as a part of Portland’s 2035 Comprehensive Plan, which calls for a citywide network of park-like pedestrian and bicycle friendly streets crisscrossing the city at roughly three-mile intervals. This research establishes several approaches to measure the transportation network impact of the “City Greenways” and relate bicycle network measures to economic and social equity outcomes. Expanding upon existing literature, we derived three sets of bicycle accessibility measures (BAMs). They are distance-based BAM, destination-based BAM, and low-stress network-based BAM, which incorporate different components of a comprehensive bicycle network. The dis...
