Noise Emitted from Ships: Impact Inside and Outside the Vessels
Abstract The noise generated by ships affects a wide range of receivers: crew and passengers inside the vessel, inhabitants of the coastal areas and marine fauna outside it. The time elapsed since these types of impact have been considered and the...

Understanding Travelers’ Behavior in Provision of Travel Information: A Bayesian Belief Approach
Abstract Individuals make their decisions considering their past experiences and their beliefs about the possible outcomes of the decision. That is to say individuals have beliefs about outcomes of an event. These beliefs about the outcomes of an...
