By 1953 Martin Beckmann had formulated and analyzed the static, deterministic userequilibrium (UE) route choice model with variable origin-destination flows (demand) (Beckmann et al, 1956; Boyce, 2004). Twenty years later, Suzanne Evans (1973, 1976) proposed and analyzed an algorithm for solving a version of Beckmann’s model that corresponded to practitioner models with origin-destination (OD) ...

Recently, novel and uniform deformation-induced pattern transformations have been found in periodic elastomeric cellular solids upon reaching a critical value of applied load [Mullin, T., Deschanel, S., Bertoldi, K., Boyce, M.C., 2007. Pattern transformation triggered by deformation. Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 084301; Boyce, M.C., Prange, S.M., Bertoldi, K., Deschanel, S., Mullin, T., 2008. Mechanics...

Database designers and students of computer science in tertiary institutions find it difficult to learn database theory in which database decomposition is a major aspect. This work presents a visualization tool to simplify the study of decomposition algorithms behaviours which would assist the students and database designers to decompose any relational schema with its functional dependencies in...

Mapping relational data to RDF is an important task for the development of the Semantic Web. To this end, the W3C has recently released a Recommendation for the so-called direct mapping of relational data to RDF. In this work, we propose an enrichment of the direct mapping to make it more faithful by transferring also semantic information present in the relational schema from the relational wor...

Evidence indicates that maternal prenatal distress predicts problematic health and behavioral outcomes in children as well as infant/child cortisol levels and negative emotionality as reviewed here. Evidence that these physiological and behavioral characteristics themselves moderate environmental effects on development in a "for better and for worse" manner consistent with Belsky's differential...

Springback, the geometric difference between the loaded and unloaded configurations, is affected by many factors, such as material properties, sheet thickness, lubrication conditions, tooling geometry and processing parameters. It is extremely difficult to develop an analytical model for springback control including all these factors. The proposed neural network model is an attempt to deal with...
