Summary: Innovations in transportation can help achieve societal objectives, but it is important for policy makers to assess their effects in advance. Expert judgment is often used for this purpose, but the stability and change in these judgments are rarely studied. This study assesses experts' judgments over time on the effects of Automated Vehicles (AVs), finding that opinions are generally favorable but becoming less optimistic over time.

Summary: This study demonstrates the value of using ensemble meteorology to provide uncertainty information in atmospheric dispersion model predictions. Results show that ensemble simulations generally outperform deterministic simulations, with greater skill scores achieved at later time steps and for deposition compared to air concentration. Different performance of the ensemble at different flight levels is also observed for volcanic ash scenarios.

Summary: This paper investigates a coupled epidemic-opinion dynamical model over a multiplex network, exploring the interplay between polarized opinions over a social interaction network and disease spreading captured by a susceptible-exposed-infected-vigilant (SEIV) epidemic model over a transmission network. Simulation results show that in the disease-free state, perceived disease severity drops to zero through opinion sharing.

Summary: This study examines the issue of wrongful convictions resulting from guilty pleas. Through interviews with legal professionals in Queensland, Australia, the study reveals the routine nature of erroneous guilty plea convictions caused by an emphasis on efficiency, pressure to quickly resolve cases, and practical constraints that hinder professionals from ensuring the appropriateness and accuracy of guilty pleas. The findings raise important implications regarding the current validity of guilty pleas as a reflection of actual guilt.
