Comparison of time-area requirements of parcel lockers vs. home delivery: a cyber-physical system of last mile delivery by Maren Schnieder, Andrew West

“…However, most of these studies ignore that customers might drive a car to pick up parcels. Also, parcel lockers require space 24/7 whereas a delivery van only requires a parking space for a few minutes while the parcel is handed over. …”

Sensitivity analysis of emission models of parcel lockers vs. home delivery based on HBEFA by Maren Schnieder, Christopher Hinde, Andrew West

“…Thirdly, using the emission factors included in the HandBook Emission Factors for Road Transport (HBEFA) database, the maximum percentage of customers who could pick up a parcel by car from parcel lockers that would result in fewer total emissions (driving customers + walking customers) than if home deliveries were adopted is calculated for various pollutants and scenario assumptions (i.e., street types, temperature, parking duration, level of service and vehicle drivetrain). …”

Environmental change over the last millennium recorded in two contrasting crater lakes in western Uganda, eastern Africa (Lakes Kasenda and Wandakara) by David Ryves, Keely Mills, Ole Bennike, Klaus Peter Brodersen, Angela L. Lamb, Melanie J. Leng, James M. Russell, Immaculate Ssemmanda

“…Multiproxy analyses of chemical sedimentary parameters (including C/N ratios, δ13C of bulk organic matter and δ13C and δ18O of authigenic carbonates) and biotic remains (diatoms, aquatic macrofossils, chironomids) suggest that Kasenda has been sensitive to climate over much of this period, and has shown substantial fluctuations in conductivity, while Wandakara has a more muted response, likely due to the increasing dominance of human activity as a driver of change within the lake and catchment over the length of our record. …”

“…Artificial neural network models have been used extensively for prediction and forecasting over the last 25 years. As the data used to develop ANNs contain important information about the physical processes being modelled, it is generally implied that a model that has been calibrated (trained) and performs well on an independent set of validation data represents the underlying physical processes of the system being modelled. …”
