Performance of Urban Transit in JordanIJERA Editor
Urban public transit has essential and active role for sustainable and balanced socio-economic and
environmental development. This study investigated the performance of urban public transit services in three
major cities in Jordan, including Amman, Irbid, and Zarqa. Accessibility, mobility, productivity, punctuality,
waiting time and comfort of public transit were investigated in the study. Data were obtained from Land
Transport RegulatoryCommission of Jordan, municipalities, and field surveys.
The accessibility was found to be relatively low in Irbid and Amman city. Also, the results indicated that the
mobility and waiting time for public transit were found to be marginally comparable with that in developed
countries. In contrast, the productivity of public transit was very high compared with the productivity of transit
in developed countries. However, one-quarter of users’ rated the comfort inside public transit as poor. Thus,
enhancement of public transit service and introduction of new modes of transport are necessary to ease the
existed urban congestion levels

What Are the Characteristics of a Project?
There are certain features or characteristics that are unique to projects and differentiate them from the daily operations or other types of activities of an organization. Here are the main characteristics of a project.
1. Any Project Needs a Project Manager and a Project Team
One of the most important characteristics of a project is that it’s a team effort. While the structure of project teams might change from one organization to another, projects usually involve a project manager and a team of individuals with the necessary skills to execute the tasks that are needed.
2. Every Project Needs a Project Plan
Project team members need clear directions from the project manager and other project leaders so that they can execute the work that’s expected from them. These directions come in the form of a project plan. However, a project plan is more than just a set of instructions for the project team. It’s a comprehensive document that describes every aspect of a project, such as the project goals, project schedule and project budget among other important details.
3. All Projects Go Through the Same Project Lifecycle
The project life cycle refers to the five phases all projects must progress through, from start to finish. The five phases of a project lifecycle serve as the most basic outline that gives a project definition. These five phases are initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and closure.
4. All Projects Share the Same Project Constraints
All projects no matter their size or complexity are subject to three main constraints: time, scope and cost. This simply means that projects must be completed within a defined timeline, achieve a defined set of tasks and goals and be delivered under a certain budget.
These project constraints are known as the triple constraint or the project management triangle and are one of the most important project features to know about.
5. Every Project Needs Resources
A resource is anything necessary to complete a project, such as for example, labor, raw materials, machinery and equipment. For example, in construction, raw materials such as wood, glass or paint are essential project resources. That said, other resources — like time, labor and equipment — are just as important.
A project manager must be able to identify all of the project resources in order to create a resource plan and manage the resources accordingly. When resources are left unaccounted for, it is easy to mismanage them.

1. Landscape architecture has evolved over thousands of years as cultures organized the land for physical and spiritual purposes.
2. Early cultures built earthworks and monuments to understand nature or honor sacred sites and phenomena.
3. As societies advanced, gardens were made for pleasure, food, medicine, and worship, with some serving unknown purposes.
4. During the Middle Ages in Western Europe, walled gardens served practical needs while also taking on symbolic meanings through religious and literary influences.
Waffle slabs are reinforced concrete slabs reinforced in two orthogonal directions, forming a ribbed plate. They are characterized by their total edge height, lightening block height, rib spacing, rib thickness, and compression layer thickness. Waffle slabs can adequately support distributed and point loads in two directions. Benefits include flexibility, light weight allowing longer spans, fast construction, slim depths, robustness, vibration control, thermal mass, and durability. Waffle slabs are constructed with ribs forming a grid pattern and solid fills at supports. Larger spans may use post-tensioning or joist construction. Proper design considers loads, materials, deformations, and tile installation compatibility.

Expressionism architecture final edidationYazid Hamoda
Expressionism architecture developed in early 20th century Europe as artists sought new ways to convey emotional and spiritual ideas through abstract and distorted forms. Key characteristics included biomorphic shapes inspired by nature, asymmetric designs, and use of new materials like concrete and glass. Prominent expressionist architects included Erich Mendelsohn, Fritz Höger, Peter Behrens, and Rudolf Steiner. Mendelsohn's Einstein Tower and Höger's Chilehaus used innovative brick designs to distort forms for emotional effect. Steiner's Goetheanums in Dornach fused architecture, sculpture, color and space to convey spiritual concepts of metamorphosis.

Online train ticket booking system project.pdfKamal Acharya
Rail transport is one of the important modes of transport in India. Now a days we
see that there are railways that are present for the long as well as short distance
travelling which makes the life of the people easier. When compared to other
means of transport, a railway is the cheapest means of transport. The maintenance
of the railway database also plays a major role in the smooth running of this
system. The Online Train Ticket Management System will help in reserving the
tickets of the railways to travel from a particular source to the destination.

Consolidation Settlement Calculation Program-The Python Code
By Professor Dr. Costas Sachpazis, Civil Engineer & Geologist
This program calculates the consolidation settlement for a foundation based on soil layer properties and foundation data. It allows users to input multiple soil layers and foundation characteristics to determine the total settlement.
This is an overview of my career in Aircraft Design and Structures, which I am still trying to post on LinkedIn. Includes my BAE Systems Structural Test roles/ my BAE Systems key design roles and my current work on academic projects.

Research Study
• The research concluded that most participants preferred walking to reach the services they needed but also
complained about the dangerous roads in terms of cars, pavings, and street furniture.
• The study found a lack of universal design elements to help everyone reach their destinations.
• One of the solutions is to enrich the experience of the pedestrians and remove one of the parking lanes and
replace it with a wider walking path and install safety and aesthetic elements in the street

Figure 14-A illustrates the current dimensions of the streets; Figure 11-B proposed a design where one side of
the sidewalk for pedestrians will be protected by adding new plants, and another side will be protected by
bollards.

Zarqa to achieve a set of goals:
1. Provide a transportation map for the
public transportation lines for the public
to provide knowledge for all residents of
the covered area by public transport.
2. Consider the distance of the
transportation lines in map making,
which gives the scene time for the user.
3. Connect between different
neighborhoods within the governorate to
afford sufficient transportation
experience.
4. Apply universal design principles.
