A recent car-following experiment (Experiment-I) showed that the speed standard deviation grows in a concave way along platoon of vehicles following one another. This paper investigates growth pattern traffic oscillations another (Experiment-II) and compares it with Experiment-I. It is shown also exhibits characteristics Experiment-II. The hypothesis test show there no significant difference be...

In a hybrid IGBT module with SiC diodes as free-wheeling diodes, high frequency oscillation occurs during turn-on due to the fast switching transient of SiC diode and the resonance between circuit parasitic inductances and the junction capacitance of SiC diode. Such oscillation causes EMI noise which may affect the performance of the system. Methods to mitigate the turn-on oscillation are studi...

Modeling of large amplitude of structures such as slender, flexible cantilever beam and fluid-structure resting on nonlinear elastic foundations or subjected to stretching effects often lead to strongly nonlinear models of Duffing equations which are not amendable to exact analytical methods. In this work, explicit analytical solutions to the large amplitude nonlinear oscillation systems of cub...

Stimulus-induced changes in oscillation frequencies may affect information flow in the brain. We investigated whether the oscillation frequency of spiking activity in cat area 17 changes as a function of the drifting direction of sinusoidal gratings. Oscillation frequencies were tuned to specific drifting directions, such that some directions induced higher oscillation frequencies than others. ...

Sexually transmitted diseases are painful and sometimes deadly. However, the same is true of many other diseases and also of pollution, crime, poverty, traffic accidents, and armed conflict. Governments in all countries, and especially in the poorest countries of the world, must struggle to fulfill a multitude of important roles with extremely limited resources. Should the prevention and contro...

Short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. The strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. This paper establishes the applicatio...
