Design Guidance

This paper presents the results of a study to develop improved design guidance for freeway main-line ramp terminals on the basis of modern driver behavior and vehicle performance capabilities. The primary steps included a crash analysis, an observational field study, and a driver behavioral study. This research reached several key conclusions, as follows. Vehicle merging speeds tend to be closer to freeway speeds at tapered acceleration lanes than at parallel acceleration lanes. The recommended minimum lengths for acceleration lanes presented in the 2004 edition of AASHTO's A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (Green Book) are conservative and, under certain conditions, could be reduced by 15%. In a situation in which a significant volume of trucks uses an entrance ramp, an acceleration lane length that will better accommodate trucks can be derived by using speed–distance curves developed for a range of weight-to-power ratios. The recommended minimum lengths for deceleration lanes presented in the 2004 Green Book are conservative and do not account for deceleration in the freeway. Providing deceleration lanes longer than the minimum values given in the Green Book may promote casual deceleration by exiting drivers. Several potential changes for consideration in the next edition of the Green Book are recommended on the basis of the findings and conclusions of this research.

The Negro Motorist Green Book was a publication that offered resources for the Black traveler from 1936 to 1966. More than a directory of Black-friendly businesses, it also offered articles that provided insights for how best to travel safely, engagement with readers through contests and invitations for readers to share travel stories, and even civil rights advocacy. Today, a contemporary counterpart to the Green Book is Black Twitter, where people share information and advocate for their community. By conducting qualitative open coding on a subset of Green Book editions as well as tweets from Black Twitter, we explore similarities and overlapping characteristics such as safety, information sharing, and social justice. Where they diverge exposes how spaces like Black Twitter have evolved to accommodate the needs of people in the Black diaspora beyond the scope of physical travel and into digital spaces. Our research points to ways that the Black community has shifted from the physical to the digital space, expanding how it supports itself, and the potential for research to strengthen throughlines between the past and the present in order to better see the possibilities of the future.

Yu. R. Sheliah-Sosonko, an outstanding Ukrainian scientist in the field of geobotany, phytocenology, floristry, phytogeography, phytosozology, ecology, a public figure, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, doctor of biological sciences, professor, honored worker of science and technology of Ukraine, laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology and the N.G. Kholodny Prize of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Head of the Department of Geobotany of the N.G. Kholodny Institute of Botany of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine passed away at the age of 87, on December 14, 2019. The main areas of scientific research of Yu. R. Sheliah-Sosonko include the development of typology, the composition of cenopopulation, cenogenesis and protection of nemoral forests of the European part of the USSR. The name of Yuri Romanovych Sheliah-Sosonko is associated with the research into the theory of geobotany and classification of vegetation, zoning, mapping, species association, evolution of vegetation cover. He developed a theory of the formation of the cenopopulation structure of species, as well as the classification of species and phytocoenotypes. He put forward and grounded the idea of phytocenogenetic classification of vegetation, the foundations of the evolutionary-cenotic study of vegetation formations. Under the supervision of Yurii Romanovych, the world’s first "Green Book of Ukraine" was compiled and published, laying the foundation for the Convention on Biodiversity. He was the first to suggest a method of paradigmatic analysis of geobotanical knowledge. The results of thorough geobotanical and phytocenological studies are summarized in the monographs: "Common oak forests on the territory of Ukraine and their evolution" (1974), "Methodology of geobotany", "Green Book of the Ukrainian SSR" (1987), "Red Book of Ukraine. Plant world "/ Yu. R. Sheliah-Sosonko (editor-in-chief) (1996) and others. He is the author of over 500 scientific works, including 34 monographs. He supervised 8 doctors and 37 candidates of biological sciences, and the scientific geobotanical school he founded is recognized by the world scientific community. The scientists, teachers and students of Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University express their condolences. This is a great loss for the whole botanical science of Ukraine, Europe and the world. Finally, it should be mentioned that as long as there are such scientists as Academician Yurii Romanovych Sheliah-Sosonko and his grateful students, Ukrainian science will never cease to thrive. The memory of Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Yurii Romanovych Sheliah-Sosonko, an outstanding scientist-geobotanist, a public figure, a man of honour, will forever remain in the hearts of his relatives, friends, colleagues and students.

Science Technology And Innovation

Aborda as iniciativas governamentais referentes à gestão da Informação Científica e Tecnológica (ICT) brasileira no âmbito da Sociedade da Informação a partir da leitura crítica de quatro publicações oficiais (Livro Verde da Sociedade da Informação no Brasil; Livro Branco: Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação; Ciência e Tecnologia para a construção da Sociedade da informação; e Contribuição para políticas de Informação Científico-Tecnológica). Traz ainda um breve retrospecto histórico da comunicação científica e, mais restritamente, da política brasileira da ICT. Abstract This article discuss the Brazilian governmental initiatives in Scientific and Technological Information management in the Information Society to arise from critical reading of four official publications (Green Book of the Information Society of Brazil; White Book: Science, Technology and Innovation; Science and Technology for the construction of the Information Society; and Contribution for policies of Scientific Information). It also brings a brief historical approach of scientific communication and Brazilian Scientific and Technological Information management.
