Urban Science | Free Full-Text | Analysing the Relationship between Proximity to Transit Stations and Local Living Patterns: A Study of Human Mobility within a 15 Min Walking Distance through Mobile Location Data
1. Introduction In the face of the formidable challenge of climate change, the urgency of transitioning to a more sustainable lifestyle has become a top priority for numerous cities worldwide. Central to this transformation is the concept of transit-orientated development (TOD), first proposed by Peter Calthorpe in the 1990s as a strategic approach to sustainable urban land development. After decades of experimentation and improvement, TOD has been recognised and widely adopted worldwide.

Ensuring safety in explosive environments
In many workplaces, gases, dusts or vapors can be found in the air. If these materials ignite, an explosion could cause damage and injury. Industrial activities, for example vehicle paint spraying, chemical manufacturing, grain flour processing and filling stations are just some of the working environments where explosions could potentially happen. Certification of equipment used in such environments is designed to minimize or prevent the potential risk of explosion.
Designing your reliability journey
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and reliable workplace, but everyone is responsible for upholding the integrity of the workplace standards for preventing injuries and failures. You can have excellent personnel safety and still have a major accident. Safety is improved by disciplined operating and maintenance practices. Take the following steps to learn how you can achieve higher workplace safety and productivity standards today.
Deflection elbows end blowouts in conveying sand to silo
Sealmaster is a global supplier of pavement maintenance products shipped to customers in more than 50 countries through more than 100 distribution centers in the U.S. and locations in China, Canada and Mexico. The company’s Allentown, Pa. plant uses silica sand as a filler to improve durability and add skid resistance to its line of pavement sealers. The 60 mesh (250 micron) sand arrives by truck with a pneumatic trailer equipped with a 1,000 cfm (0.47 cu m/sec) blower.
How to increase worker safety in semiconductor fabs
Without the proper safety precautions in place, working in a semiconductor fabrication facility can be dangerous. On a daily basis, semiconductor personnel face many different potential hazards from body strains caused by ergonomic risk factors and slips and falls to exposure to pressurized sources such as hazardous chemicals, gasses and shocks from high electrical voltage. But this needn’t be the case.

When a prominent nuclear fuel processer was in the design phase with a system processing combinations of hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and deionized (DI) water, it chose Kynar PVDF piping systems to secure the expected lifetime of its fluid handling process.
Increase worker safety in semiconductor fabs
Without the proper safety precautions in place, working in a semiconductor fabrication facility can be dangerous. On a day-to-day basis, semiconductor personnel face many different potential hazards. These range from the simple: body strains caused by ergonomic risk factors and slips and falls; to the extreme: exposure to pressurized sources like hazardous chemicals and gasses, and shocks from high electrical voltage. But this needn’t be the case.
