Routes of Persuasion02:20

Routes of Persuasion

53.1K
Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Rolling Resistance01:21

Rolling Resistance

815
When a solid cylinder rolls steadily on a rigid surface, the normal force applied by the surface on the cylinder is perpendicular to the tangent at the contact point. However, since no materials are entirely rigid, the surface's reaction to the cylinder involves a range of normal pressures.
For instance, imagine a hard cylinder rolling on a comparatively soft surface. The cylinder's weight compresses the surface beneath it. As the cylinder moves, the material in front of it slows down due to...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

20.5K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Electrical Transport01:29

Electrical Transport

184
The electrical transport property of a material is defined by its resistance and conductivity. Resistance is the measure of a material's ability to resist the flow of electric current, while conductivity gauges its ability to allow the current to pass through, depending on the geometry of the measurement cell, such as electrode spacing and area. Conductivity is measured in Siemens (S). There are different types of conductance, including specific conductance, equivalent conductance, and molar...

Travelling Waves01:04

Travelling Waves

5.8K
A wave is a disturbance that propagates from its source, repeating itself periodically, and is typically associated with simple harmonic motion. Mechanical waves are governed by Newton's laws and require a medium to travel. A medium is a substance in which a mechanical wave propagates, and the medium produces an elastic restoring force when it is deformed.
Water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves are some examples of mechanical waves. For water waves, the wave propagation medium is...

Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

468
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Area of Science:

  • Mobility studies
  • Social media analytics
  • Transportation science

Background:

  • Mobile devices generate vast geo-located data, offering new insights into human behavior.
  • Geo-located tweets from social media platforms enable in-depth analysis of human mobility patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the utilization of Twitter data for understanding transportation networks in Europe.
  • To identify and analyze tweets originating from road and rail infrastructure across 39 European countries.

Main Methods:

  • Collected and analyzed geo-located tweets from European roads and rails between September 2012 and November 2013.
  • Calculated the percentage of highway and railway segments covered by tweets in each country.
  • Correlated tweet volume with Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) on highways in France and the UK.

Main Results:

  • Significant variations in tweet coverage were observed across countries, partially explained by Twitter penetration rates.
  • Cultural factors and mobility habits appear to influence tweet activity on transportation networks.
  • A positive correlation was found between the number of road-based tweets and AADT on highways in France and the UK.
  • Analysis revealed heterogeneous usage patterns for different transport modalities across Europe.

Conclusions:

  • Geo-located tweets provide a valuable, albeit variable, resource for studying human mobility and transportation.
  • Differences in tweet coverage highlight the interplay between technology adoption, cultural practices, and online social behavior.
  • Future research can leverage social media data to further explore transport modality usage and traffic dynamics.
