Integrating climate change predictions into infrastructure degradation modelling using advanced markovian frameworks to enhanced resilience.

This study introduces a prognostic model that quantifies infrastructure degradation in highway systems, incorporating the impacts of climate change using an advanced Markovian framework. By assimilating extensive historical maintenance records and detailed climatic data, the model employs a multi-tiered exponential erosion risk framework to enhance predictive accuracy. Our findings indicate a 15-20% acceleration in degradation rates under projected climate scenarios, emphasizing the necessity for climate-adaptive infrastructure management strategies.

Integrative strategies for social inclusion and equity: Enhancing refugee access to higher education in Jordan.

Incorporating sustainability principles into refugee education, an often overlooked yet crucial domain is pivotal for future societal development. Focusing on UNHCR's directive in Jordan, this research delves into the nuances of elevating refugee enrollment in higher education to 15 % by 2030. The study identifies significant challenges through empirical and theoretical lenses, such as financial impediments, infrastructural deficits, and socio-cultural deterrents.

Optimization of the Structural Performance of Buried Reinforced Concrete Pipelines in Cohesionless Soils.

Pipelines are widely used to transport water, wastewater, and energy products. However, the recently published American Society of Civil Engineers report revealed that the USA drinking water infrastructure is deficient, where 12,000 miles of pipelines have deteriorated. This would require substantial financial investment to rebuild.
