The main objective of this paper is to estimate the cost of road traffic accidents in Egypt. The Human Capital (HC) approach, specifically the Gross-Loss-of-Output methodology, is adopted for estimation. Moreover, cost values obtained by previous national literature are updated using the inflation rates. The results indicate an estimated cost of road traffic accidents in Egypt of approximately ...

This work presents a new technique for generating the base mesh for an adaptive mesh generated by a sketch based modeling system. The method uses topology information of the region inside a closed curve to create a good quality base mesh, with controlled vertex valence, and few irregular vertices. The base mesh is refined using an inflation of the region inside the curve to form the final mesh....

In this paper we apply an Adaptive Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with one input, the dependent variable with one lag, for the forecasting of four macroeconomic variables of US economy, the Gross Domestic Product, the inflation rate, six monthly treasury bills interest rates and unemployment rate. We compare the forecasting performance of ANFIS with those of the widely used linear...
