The species has an estimated population of only a few hundred individuals, and it appears to be extremely susceptible to habitat loss due to logging, habitat degradation from road construction, and hunting.
The Matlab® analysis and the developed comparisons allow quantifying the vibrational stress level that can be predetermined as a function of: degradation of road surface, speed and type of vehicle, with implementation of appropriate calculation procedures.
Road network vulnerability analysis can be defined as the study of potential degradation of the road transport system and its impact on society (Jenelius and Mattsson 2014), for example, economic impacts and delays.
But if abject degradation is the road to holiness, then wouldn't Brady's brothel be a vehicle of the sacred?
Combustion processes, traffic and natural sources directly emit (hbox {PM}_{10}), while in some regions the mechanical degradation of the road surface and of winter tires also contributes to its production.
Most studies considered transport networks from the point of view of engineering: network connectivity/accessibility (Dalvi and Martin 1978; Chapelon 1996; Bell 2000; Berdica 2002; Sullivan et al. 2010), traffic flow, network reliability, and degradation of the road service (Wakabayashi and Kameda 1992; Gleyze and Reghezza 2007; Lhomme 2012; Tacnet et al. 2013).
Examples of adverse health outcomes and impacts include: direct effects of environmental degradation, increase in road traffic accidents, acceleration of the spread of HIV and of other sexually transmitted infections.
If projects include the construction of roads (which most do) there is more intense (and longer term) degradation associated with roads than with swidden, including the "following" of logging roads by second and third waves of swiddeners and spontaneous migrants (Brookfield et al. 1995).
The townspeople of the mythical River City, Iowa, in the 1950s musical "The Music Man" were convinced that the local pool hall was the road to degradation for their children.
The paper then further discussed the impacts of climate change on road pavement degradation and the implications for management and maintenance of this infrastructure, and the associated impacts for transport policy makers.
