The effects of e-government evaluation, trust and the digital divide in the levels of e-government use in European countries

Despite the significant amounts of public investment devoted to enhancing e-government over the last ten years, citizens’ use of this service is still limited, posing a challenge to national governments. Using a regression analysis applied to panel data derived from 27 European countries for the period from 2010 to 2018, our work confirms that supply-side e-government performance evaluations, the level of citizen trust in the government, income per capita and education are determinants of the level of citizens’ use of e-government. Furthermore, the results of the cluster analysis suggest that, over the study period, in the group of countries with highest e-government use rates, the variables under study exhibit more favourable relative values.

Evaluation of Comparative Damaging Effects of Multiple Truck Axles for Flexible Pavements

Corresponding data set for Tran-SET Project No. 17PUTA01. Abstract of the final report is stated below for reference: "This study aims at evaluating the effect of overlapping flexible pavement strain responses from truck axles that are not part of multiple axle configurations (i.e., tandem, triple and quad). For this purpose, a newly constructed pavement was instrumented with strain gauges installed at the bottom of the asphalt concrete base layer on US-287 south of Mansfield, TX. This pavement structure is typically used for medium- to high-volume roads in the South-Central region of the United States. The strain gauges were used to measure longitudinal and transverse strains under several passes of a test vehicle. This was a class 6 truck with a steering axle load of 56.9 kN (12.8 kips) and a tandem drive axle load of 161.9 kN (36.4 kips). The speed and the lateral position of the vehicle were recorded for each test vehicle pass. Sufficient quantities of the top two layers of asphalt concrete were obtained during construction to allow dynamic modulus testing in the laboratory. The general-purpose finite element program Abaqus was used to model the instrumented pavement section and compute the longitudinal and transverse strains at the location of the strain gauges. In the analysis, the asphalt concrete layers were modeled as visco-elastic materials. The Abaqus estimated strains were found in good agreement with the measured strains. Both the field measurements and the finite element analysis showed that the strains under the passing of the steering axle were of similar magnitude as the strains under the passing of the rear tandem axle. The measured transverse strains were in general slightly larger than the corresponding longitudinal strains. This can be attributed to the accumulation of strain from the front axle and the rear axle that takes place only in the transverse direction. However, the finite element model computed higher strains in the longitudinal direction than in the transverse direction. These findings suggest the need to account for the overlap in strain responses from the steering and the following axles of trucks. Furthermore, findings suggest that both the longitudinal and the transverse strain responses need to be considered in evaluating the fatigue damage impacted from trucks."

Simplified Approach for Structural Evaluation of Flexible Pavements at the Network Level

Corresponding data set for Tran-SET Project No. 17PUTA02. Abstract of the final report is stated below for reference: "Currently, there are few available simple procedures to identify structurally weak pavement sections utilizing Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) data at the network level (e.g., city, state or province). A simple method is required to determine the structural condition of pavement sections that can be directly implemented and automated in current pavement databases. The objective of this research study is to develop a simple analysis method to determine the structural condition of pavement sections utilizing the currently available non-destructive testing (NDT) deflection measurement devices at the network level that can be directly implemented and automated in the database of a typical transportation agency. In addition, the study had conducted an advanced mechanistic analysis to mimic the FWD deflection bowl obtained from the field. The developed structural condition parameters can be easily implemented in pavement management systems (PMS). This will aid Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and local highway agencies to make more informed decisions about the most suitable maintenance and rehabilitation strategies. Those parameters were also utilized to predict the remaining fatigue lives of the studied pavement sections."

Evaluation of the Performance and Cost-Effectiveness of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) Produced from Region 6 Local Materials

Corresponding data set for Tran-SET Project No. 17CLSU05. Abstract of the final report is stated below for reference: "The project objective is to develop cost-effective Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) with locally available ingredients in Region 6 to address the deficiencies observed in ordinary concrete materials. The study explored the utilization of two types of river sands (coarse and fine), two types of PVA fibers (long and short), four levels of cement replacement with Class F fly ash, and the implementation of recycled crumb rubber in the performance of ECC materials. A total of 24 mix designs were prepared and evaluated in compression, tension, and bending to assess its mechanical properties. Furthermore, the cracking characteristics of the materials produced were evaluated to assess the durability potential of these composites. Lastly, the cost of each mix design and the feasibility of ECC implementation in transportation infrastructure were assessed. The experimental results showed that implementing crumb rubber and/or increasing contents of fly ash in the mixtures produced a positive impact in the ductility of the materials. However, a tradeoff between ductility and strength was observed. Furthermore, the utilization of the different types of sand evaluated in this study produced minor effects in the mechanical properties of ECCs evaluated. The properties of the materials developed in this study were exceedingly superior than that of regular concrete. It was concluded that ECC materials are promising for the future of transportation infrastructure."

Evaluating the effect of 8 M4K compounds on the viability of DIPG patient-derived cells (SU-DIPG-VI, HSJD-DIPG-007 and SU-DIPG-IV)

Viability assay using Celltiter Glo kit has been chosen as the main method for evaluating the efficacy of ALK2 inhibitors on DIPG patient-derived cells due to its robustness. As a pilot experiment, 8 ALK2 inhibitors with differing potencies were chosen and evaluated in 3 DIPG patient-derived cell lines (one with wild-type ALK2 and two with mutant ALK2).
