    Identifying shifts in multi-modal travel patterns during special events using mobile data: Celebrating Vappu in Helsinki

    Full text link
    Large urban special events significantly contribute to a city's vibrancy and economic growth but concurrently impose challenges on transportation systems due to alterations in mobility patterns. This study aims to shed light on mobility patterns by utilizing a unique, comprehensive dataset collected from the Helsinki public transport mobile application and Bluetooth beacons. Earlier methods, relying on mobile phone records or focusing on single traffic modes, do not fully grasp the intricacies of travel behavior during such events. We focus on the Vappu festivities (May 1st) in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, a national holiday characterized by mass gatherings and outdoor activities. We examine and compare multi-modal mobility patterns during the event with those during typical non-working days in May 2022. Through this case study, we find that people tend to favor public transport over private cars and are prepared to walk longer distances to participate in the event. The study underscores the value of using comprehensive multi-modal data to better understand and manage transportation during large-scale events.Comment: 6 pages, 12 figures, Submitted to ITSC202

    Referencia OEPM: P9800669.-- Fecha de solicitud: 30/03/1998.-- Titular: Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC).Procedimiento de multiplexación óptica y transmisión de las señales eléctricas generadas por los transductores piezoeléctricos, funcionando como receptores de ecos ultrasónicos, mediante la utilización de fibra óptica. Para la transmisión se utiliza la modulación en frecuencia de una subportadora, que a su vez modula la intensidad luminosa de la fuente óptica. Debido a esto, puede realizarse la multiplexación de varias señales procedentes de otros tantos sensores piezoeléctricos, y su transmisión sobre una única fibra para su posterior demultiplexión y estudio.Peer reviewe

    The Strong Electrostatic Adsorption (SEA) method was applied to the rational design of a promoted Co catalyst for Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis. A series of Mn/Co/TiO2 catalysts were prepared by selective deposition of the [MnO4] anion onto the supported Co3O4 phase. Qualitative ICP-OES and XPS measurements of the prepared catalysts with increasing Mn loading displayed the preferential association of the Mn species with Co3O4 and not the TiO2 support. The SEA preparation method seemed to minimize the migration of Mn away from the Co to the TiO2 support during reduction procedures to ensure a more intimate interaction between the Mn and the Co species during FT reactivity measurements. This led to an increase in light olefins, C5+ selectivity and chain growth probability. It is anticipated that the SEA preparation method is a viable synthesis strategy for other promoted and/or bimetallic catalyst systems where intimate contact between the catalyst components is highly desired

    Unconventional low-energy SUSY from warped geometry

    Supersymmetric models with a warped fifth spatial dimension can solve the hierarchy problem, avoiding some shortcomings of non-supersymmetric constructions, and predict a plethora of new phenomena at typical scales Lambda not far from the electroweak scale (Lambda ~ a few TeV). In this paper we derive the low-energy effective theories of these models, valid at energies below Lambda. We find that, in general, such effective theories can deviate significantly from the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) or other popular extensions of it, like the NMSSM: they have non-minimal Kaehler potentials (even in the Mp -> \infty limit), and the radion is coupled to the visible fields, both in the superpotential and the Kaehler potential, in a non-trivial (and quite model-independent) fashion. The corresponding phenomenology is pretty unconventional, in particular the electroweak breaking occurs in a non-radiative way, with tan beta \simeq 1 as a quite robust prediction, while the mass of the lightest Higgs boson can be as high as ~ 700 GeV.Comment: 53 pages, 2 ps figure

    Characterizing a Mini Gamma Detector

    Get PDF
    There are several types of gamma radiation detectors, which have different characteristics depending on its use. We designed and instrumented a gamma detector for low energies of a small and portable size to obtain spectrum from radioactive sources and from that analyze each spectrum. This instrument basically consists of a scintillator crystal coupled to a SiPM this in turn coupled to a PCB card designed with capacitors and resistors for a better signal, a voltage source of 29 volts. For signal acquisition the system must be connected to an oscilloscope this in turn is controlled by a script developed in Python. For the calibration radioactive isotopes with the same dimensions were used, caesium-137 (Cs-137), cobalto-60 (Co-60), sodium-22 (Na-22) and manganese-54 (Mn-54) as gamma ray emission
