a much greater annual temperature range than City B. The most likely explanation for this fact is

The contract also introduces new unexpected challenges to Alta and its vendors, such as hurricane Sandy and malfunctioning bikes, forcing the company to adapt and mature as a business. Now, coming back to the point of city being a major stake holder too. One of the main reasons for bikeshare program was also less pollution but sometimes vans are used to transport bikes from one station to another, which negate the air pollution reduction. One another ‘advantage’ of cycling which is also outweighed by its effect was made by Fuller: Though cycling does help one stay healthy but “the health benefits of physical activity resulting from increased cycling would outweigh the risks of collision and exposure to air pollution” ( Fuller e85). An externality city may face is “complaints from

In 2008, Ipsos Reid conducted a poll on behalf of RBC revealing that 4 in 10 (43%) Canadians don’t put winter tires on their car during the winter driving season (Ipsos Reid 2008). Ipsos Reid had conducted another poll specifically for Ontario drivers, wherein only 47% of respondents claimed that they use winter tires (Traffic Injury Research, 2012). Winter tires are perceived to be more expensive when compared with other types of tires (Traffic Injury Research, 2012). Some consumers are led to believe that winter tires have a higher rolling resistance coefficient, in effect, offer less fuel economy (Traffic Injury Research,

Mean precipitation is another factor

St. Louis falls into the mellow midlatitude atmosphere gathering, and this is a district loaded with air mass complexities (Hess, 2011). These differentiations cause a mixture of unsettling influences in the air leaving St. Louis with an assortment of climate (Hess, 2011). The summers have a tendency to have more precipitation with the coastal stream and incessant convection (Hess, 2011). However winter can encounter rain and periodic snow due to midlatitude typhoons (Hess, 2011).

In the same way, opponents have done their research and studies but have come to a conclusion where their results are the "opposite" outcome. Stated differently, "California's study in 2007" states that there was little to no change in the energy and electricity consumption. In fact, a study in "Indiana" showed that the energy and electricity consumption was higher. On the other hand, the "pollution level increased" in Indiana during the Spring time. Next, other studies that had been done showed that in "fall" the car vs. pedestrian increased right after the clocks changed due to, the "adjustments period", the time was not enough for motorist and pedestrians to adjust to the

This article I read in the Science Times is called “Cycling 101 Needn’t Be a Collision Course.” Cycling, believe it or not, can be considered a very dangerous sport. When it comes to bike-related injuries, the United States has the greatest count. Overall, in recent studies, there has been a great percentage increase in the injuries resulting from cycling. The injuries from arms and legs have went down considerably. But, fatalities to the head and torso have increased. The lead author of the study of cycling states how roadways and streets could potentially be safer if there were more cyclists. He says this because he believes injuries will decrease if cyclists travelled in numbers. Other countries, excluding the US, are considerably safer

These data sets show that both minimum and maximum of both Victor Harbor and Adelaide have fairly extreme outliers. These temperatures are untrustworthy, rare, unreliable and can be removed to help understand what a fairer average would be within normal parameters. The follow data set is the calculated measures of centre and spread without

Between 1950 and 19980, the overall trend was downward and the National rail network’s pattern was always highest as well as it had its peak at 1,100 million trips in 1958. The gap between the figures for National rail network and the London Underground was increasingly narrow. The light rail and metro systems only appeared from early 1960s at the lowest level. In the last 25 years, the numbers of journeys by these three kinds of public transport bounced back and it tended to rise higher at the beginning. The numbers for National rail network and London Underground were similar and the numbers for London Underground went up to the peak of all numbers, whereas the numbers for Light rail and metro systems was still at the lowest level.

Washington Post says that whenever the forecast calls for a low, it underdetermines the case for global warming. This is making it hard for people to know what to wear for the day. Should I wear a sweater or a tank-top? These are questions many people ask themselves each day. Weather sources should be able to tell them which one it is.

Urban Island Heat Effect: how cities are warmer than surrounding rural areas because of the many buildings, roads, parking lots, and other structures that replace natural vegetation. Due to the replacement of natural vegetation this results in more of the sun’s energy being absorbed and retained in urban areas compared to rural areas; leading to urban areas cooling at a much slower rate than rural areas at night. This study aimed to investigate whether urban areas, due to the amount of asphalt coverage, would be warmer and retain it’s heat longer than rural areas after sunset. The hypothesis was that urban areas would be warmer and retain it’s heat longer than rural areas after sunset since urban areas have more asphalt coverage. Data temperature

We produced regression models for all regions after choosing which temperature data was best. For both time periods, it made sense to see which months were useful predictors and which combination of months would give us the best regression model. Both time periods could have different months as predictors in their respective regression equations. For both time periods we decided to do four different regression models to determine which model was best for

Overall, the sheltered temperatures were overall warmer between 11/4 and 11/10 showing an increase in the rate of temperature decrease relative to the ambient temperatures. However, the rate of temperature decline across the sample period did not vary significantly between the two climates (p = 0.37).

substitutes for driving – those who live in urban areas on days when the temperature

I plan to study the paradoxical relationship between the health benefits of safe cycling infrastructure and the claim that it promotes gentrification and drives the communities it is intended to serve further into the peripheries of cycling friendly cities. In November 2016, Austin voters passed Proposition I, which granted $137 million dollars to improve sidewalks and urban pathways1. Among opponents of improving cycling infrastructure in East Austin, many pointed out that bicycle lanes would increase the growing pressures of gentrification on the lower income members of the community. This fear accompanied the claim that minorities and lower income residents of East Austin do not use bicycles for transportation, and that the lanes would
