Summary: This paper discusses the challenges of trip generation modelling and proposes a multiple piecewise regression technique that can be used for most cases. The technique identifies thresholds for categorical inputs and determines threshold positions for continuous inputs using quadratic programming. The results show that the proposed technique can fit data more accurately and provides explicit and visualized models for practitioners.

Summary: Enhancing the productivity of crops through the adoption and uptake of technologies improves farmers' socioeconomic status through increased market participation. However, smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) face a myriad of challenges that make it difficult for them to access and participate in the output markets. This study examines the relationship between the uptake of improved potato seed and donor-funded training on market participation.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors for poor sleep quality in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. The study found that 60.17% of IBD patients had poor sleep quality, and the proportion was higher in the older group. Age and depressive mood were identified as risk factors for poor sleep quality. This study is important for a better understanding of sleep quality issues in IBD patients.

Summary: This paper addresses the research gap in freight trip generation (FTG) studies by proposing a multivariate ordered response system that captures the interdependencies between insourced and outsourced variants of trips and the associated truck selection. The study findings reveal complementary and substitution effects between freight trip decisions, and justify the additional computational burden resulting from the simultaneous model estimation for improving the logistical foundations of FTG models.

Summary: The decision factors for warehouse location are subjective, with accessibility to/from warehouses, land cost, and truck delivery accessibility being closely associated with warehouse location decision. Warehouse size is related to the population of surrounding neighborhoods and distance to main ring roads.

Summary: Gender parity in education, a crucial global development goal, has been mainly measured through school enrollment, with limited attention on gender parity in quality of education until recently. Research in Bangladesh reveals a strong pro-female bias in enrollment decisions, but contrasting pro-male bias in other education expenditure decisions. Gender-targeted conditional cash transfer programs have helped promote girls' secondary school enrollment, but have not effectively narrowed the gender gap in intrahousehold allocation of educational resources.

Summary: This research utilized stoichiometry to detect 19 chemical substances affecting the quality of Huangshan Maofeng tea, and established a model-based scheme using the stepwise regression method (SRM) for estimating tea quality grades. Results showed that SRM had the highest prediction accuracy with the least number of features, simplifying the chemical detection process and providing a new effective scheme for batch tea-quality-grade estimation.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of UV radiation and nisin, alone and in combination, in comparison with thermal pasteurization on the microbial inhibition kinetics and physicochemical properties of tangerine juice. UV-149.76 J/cm(2) + nisin (200 ppm) combination showed the highest reduction in spoilage and pathogenic microbes. UV and nisin had no significant effect on pH, TSS, and TA values, but showed notable differences in color analysis and antioxidant activity. UV radiation and nisin combination could be a viable alternative to heat pasteurization during cold storage of fruit juice.

Summary: This study explores a new approach for the multicriteria evaluation of walkability, incorporating both physical and perceived walkability. By utilizing deep-learning, sensor-network, and GIS technologies, the study automatically calculates physical walkability based on four criteria, and assesses perceived walkability through a hierarchy of walking needs model. The results indicate the feasibility, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of the automated evaluation method for both physical and perceived walkability.

Summary: The study examines polycentric development in the Wasatch Front Region (WFR), Utah, finding that it is still dominated by a single urban center rather than being polycentric. However, walking and biking trip chains are common in urban centers, indicating a potential need for polycentric development. The results emphasize the importance of job opportunities and amenities in achieving functional polycentricity.

Summary: This article examines the factors influencing walking behavior in Salt Lake City using GIS and statistical analysis. It finds that neighborhood environmental factors influence the origins and destinations of walking trips. Moreover, the study indicates that robbery events, street connectivity, and public parks are significant factors influencing walking behavior in urban areas.
