In weaving section due to a strong need for lane changing, a type of turbulence is created in traffic flow; so, the speedand the capacity of the weaving section decreases. Therefore, investigation of the weaving section is very important.However, due to shortage of the manual for urban principal arterials (highways), calibration of these models is necessary.One of these models...

Understanding the behavior of weaving flows and estimating the effects of time-variant traffic conditions on the capacity of weaving areas is of critical importance in developing effective operational strategies, which can achieve the maximum utilization of existing capacity for a given freeway system. The previous phase of this research identified and classified the major weaving areas in the ...

Frames for Hilbert spaces were first introduced by Duffin and Schaeffer [10] in 1952 to study some problems in nonharmonic Fourier series, reintroduced in 1986 by Daubechies, Grossmann and Meyer [8]. Frames are very useful in characterization of function spaces and other fields of applications such as filter bank theory, sigmadelta quantization, signal and image processing and wireless communic...

Video super-resolution for dual-mode cameras in single-view and mono-view scenarios is studied in this thesis. Dual-mode cameras are capable of generating high-resolution still images while shooting video sequences at low-resolution. High-resolution still images are used to form a regularization function for solving the inverse problem of super-resolution. Exploiting proposed regularization fun...

Generalized fusion frame and some of their properties in tensor product Hilbert spaces are described. Also, the canonical dual g-fusion is considered. Finally, operator for a pair Bessel sequences presented.

BACKGROUND Ankle arthrodesis may be achieved using the Ilizarov method. Comorbidities, such as diabetes, Charcot neuroarthropathy, osteomyelitis, leg length discrepancy, and smoking, can make an ankle fusion complex and may be associated with lower rates of healing. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked if (1) smoking and other comorbidities led to lower fusion rates, (2) time wearing the frame affecte...
