Abstract:

One of the major challenges that state highway agencies face is the need to estimate performance curves for different functional classifications of highways and traffic loads, considering the limitations of resources and equipment required for data collection and management activities. The need to estimate the remaining useful life of pavements in different climatic regions with a variety of subgrade conditions is crucial for the efficient allocation of maintenance and rehabilitation funds. A methodology that addresses both the performance and regional climatic aspects is presented. Essential

Abstract:

A system dynamics model was developed for the forecasting, prioritization, and distribution of critical supplies during relief operations in case of a hurricane event, while integrating GIS information. Data was obtained from operational reports gathered during Hurricane George from agencies such as: Puerto Rico Department of Housing (PRDOH), Puerto Rico National Guard (PRNG), Civil Defense State Agency of Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works (PRDOTPW) and Puerto Rico Highway & Transportation Authority (PRHTA), along with reports from other U.S. agencies.

Abstract:

The road diet concept has been implemented around the United States for more than three decades. Road diets are at the early stages of implementation in Puerto Rico and the use of a Two-Way Left Turn Lane (TWLTL) will be a new and unfamiliar design for local drivers. For this reason, the effectiveness of a TWLTL was evaluated using a driving simulator with local drivers for a segment of highway PR-107 in Puerto Rico. This highway is a suburban commercial corridor without access control that had a 67% increase in crashes between 2015 and 2016. This highway was selected because of its large numb

Abstract:

Puerto Rico is an uncomfortable reminder of the democratic deficits within the world’s oldest constitutional democracy. Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens who live in a U.S. territory that is subject to the plenary authority of Congress, to which they cannot elect voting members. In 2022, under unified Democratic control for the first time in a decade, Congress considered the Puerto Rico Status Act, legislation that would finally decolonize Puerto Rico. The Status Act offered Puerto Rican voters three alternatives to the colonial status quo—statehood, independence, or sovereignty in free associat

The Paso del Indio site, discovered and partially mitigated in the midst of a major highway construction project, is the largest and deepest stratified, multi-component prehistoric site found to date on the island of Puerto Rico, and likely the entire Greater Antilles. The site exhibits a number of cultural occupation levels, separated by the deposition of sterile soil levels. This circumstance created a stratigraphic sequence of thousands of years of occupation, over 5 meters deep, representing the four prehistoric culture history periods known for Puerto Rico, as defined in the 1950s.

Puerto Rico experienced the most prolonged power outage in US history after two hurricanes hit the Archipelago in September 2017. Hurricane Irma left over one million people without electricity, and Hurricane Maria left Puerto Rico in a total blackout when it hit. The damages to 80 percent of the electrical grid opened the possibility to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority to explore options beyond merely reconstructing and keeping the grid centralized. Prior to these events, an active public discussion on how to transform the electrical system had been occurring regarding a new energy po

Bringing together these two approaches to translation history, this article

Abstract This essay investigates the political workings of gratitude in Puerto Rico in the postabolition decades in order to uncover how these practices of benevolence, which obscure the violence of everyday marginalization, became key in liberal political forms as a means of rearticulating white superiority and patriarchal authority.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT: Read as a diagnosis of the ills afflicting colonial Puerto Rico, Manuel Zeno Gandía's novel La charca is often critiqued as paradigmatically expressing the racist, paternalistic worldview of the author and the creole elite. This, however, only pertains when one equates the novel's narrator with its author and presumes the former's omniscience. Recalling how the novel exposes the failures of characters of authority and repute—from colonial state representatives to the creole elite—I contend that the narrator, as one such figure, also fails, in his attempt to diagnose and cure (through

From the 1890s to the 1920s, anarchist groups and movements emerged in Puerto Rico and Cuba. They promoted the traditional anarchist agenda against governments, militarism, capitalism, and organized religion. While research on anarchists has often focused on their activities in strikes, uprisings, educational experiments, and other counter-cultural activities, this article illustrates how Caribbean-based anarchists used their fiction to promote the anarchist agenda. A central theme in much of the fiction (plays, poetry, novels, and short stories) revolved around violence leveled against societ

The productivity of paratransit systems could be improved if transit agencies had the tools to accurately predict which trip reservations are likely to result in trips. A potentially useful approach to this prediction task is the use of machine learning algorithms, which are routinely applied in, for example, the airline and hotel industries to make predictions on reservation outcomes. In this study, the application of machine learning (ML) algorithms is examined for two prediction problems that are of interest to paratransit operations.

The reasoning for employing the DPA is simple: it can immediately ramp up the industrial production of critical supplies and material resources and direct their distribution to areas of greatest need.[1] The Trump administration used the DPA 18 times t
