A Study of the Classical Landscape at the Wang River Villa of Wang Wei
No full textThe landscape of Wang Wei's Wang River Villa is examined by reviewing the essays and papers written about the poetical collaboration, the “Wang River Collection.” The purpose of this paper is to clarify the meaning of villa architecture in China. The author expects that this research will contribute to a mutual understanding between cultures. The villa was a Utopia for Wang. On the other hand, he was a pious Buddhist and Buddhistic concepts are reflected in the landscape. I consider the features of the classical landscape of Xie Lingyun and "Chu Ci," as written in “The Collection,” a reflection of the Buddhistic concept. When considering what the classics meant to Wang Wei, it is apparent that his villa is a representation of the classical landscape. It is not an imitation of the classical landscape, but a unique and original creation of art by Wang.departmental bulletin pape
Understanding preferences for autonomous trucks functions in China: Insights from drivers and organizational buyers
No full textThe transportation industry is undergoing a significant transformation as it integrates advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technologies. This shift is particularly important in the trucking industry. Driver assistance technologies offer a promising solution for improving safety and reducing traffic accidents. However, the trucking industry lags significantly behind passenger vehicles in the maturity and penetration rate of such technologies. This study uses a stated preference survey to explore the purchasing preferences for ADAS functions among truck drivers and organization buyers in China. Our findings show that truck drivers with a safe driving history prioritize reliability and assistance features such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-centering control. In contrast, drivers with a record of unsafe driving favor more advanced ADAS functions, such as city or highway navigation on autopilot, owing to their ability to alleviate driving stress. Buyers from organizations, compared with individual truck drivers, are more averse to the additional costs of ADAS technologies, while larger companies seem more willing to invest in autonomous trucks than are smaller businesses and individuals. However, top management teams remain cautious, reflecting a lack of confidence in the operational and safety benefits of the current technology at Level 2 autonomy. Resistance to adopting autonomous trucks is also stronger among male (vs. female) drivers and older drivers, who comprise a large segment of the domestic market. The study recommends that autonomous vehicle system providers and governments prioritize active safety functions to further improve safety. Furthermore, it is suggested that extensive training and trials be provided to increase trust and confidence in autonomous truck technologies among industry stakeholders.

What Patterns Contribute to Autonomous Vehicle Crashes? A Study of Level 2 and 4 Automation via Association Rule Analysis
No full textWith increasing autonomous vehicle (AV) penetration, understanding the factors contributing to AV crashes is crucial for addressing ongoing road safety challenges. This study aims to reveal the effects of vehicle characteristics, road conditions, environmental factors, and precrash movements on the occurrence of head-on, rear-end, and side-impact crashes. In particular, factors associated with various types of Level 2 and Level 4 AV crashes were analyzed. Our data, obtained from the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, spans from October 2014 to March 2024. Association rule mining techniques identify the significant patterns and interdependencies among the factors contributing to AV crashes. The findings demonstrate that the factors influencing crash types include weather, roadway surface, lighting, and vehicle precrash movements. For example, head-on crashes frequently occur at intersections under poor lighting conditions, whereas rear-end crashes occur more frequently on high-speed highways, particularly because of unexpected braking by the vehicle ahead. Side-impact crashes commonly result from merging maneuvers, especially under adverse weather and lighting conditions. These findings provide new insights into the causal mechanisms behind different types of AV crashes and underscore the need to strengthen traffic management, enhance AV sensing and decision-making capabilities, and implement targeted safety measures in high-risk areas.
Supporting the research process through expanded library data services
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe how the authors gained a better understanding of the variety of library users' data needs, and how gradually some new data services were established based on current capabilities.Design/methodology/approach – This paper uses a case study of the new data services at the John Cotton Dana Library, at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark campus, to demonstrate the possible ways to extend data reference services and provide data computing services. A content analysis of services records shows how each user group falls into the multiple data services levels and subcategories.Findings – Library users can be classified into many different categories, and each of these may have different needs. Research centers might have big projects involving data gathering and applications where a librarian can mainly provide consultation; while an individual faculty member or student might need the librarians as research partners, with help for their specific problems. Computing data services can involve group training and statistical analysis assistance, where researchers need emergent help. Data librarians can take various opportunities for data management education, thereby gradually raising awareness and cultivating better research habits among researchers.Originality/value – Library data computing services can make unique contributions to faculty and students' research and study. Institution, library and users' interaction determines the levels and extent of data services and is generalized from the description and analysis of typical data service examples. Classic concept of data services levels is applied to a concrete case of data services program, and sub-categories of each data services level and user types are developed based on the authors' services record.This article is (c) Emerald Group Publishing and permission has been granted for this version to appear here at the RUcore: Rutgers University Community Repository .

Beyond Technical Instruction
No full textAs a data services librarian, I teach workshops on how to use statistical software. In addition to demonstrate step by step techniques and let the students do hands-on exercises, I point them to additional online tutorials and other resources. I also introduce them to principles and best practice of data analysis. Library guides are also set up for students to come back later reviewing the class notes or looking for links to other resources. Based on a feedback survey, this poster will reveal how students think of the usefulness of these different types of contents.Poster Presented in VALE/NJ ACRL/NJLA CUS Fourteenth Annual Users' Conference: Demonstrating Value for Every User, January 2013
