Interacting with bicycles on urban road segments is complex for vehicles, due to the diverse and flexible cycling behavior that can cause interferences. Studies show driving mixed also a great challenge autonomous vehicles (AVs), it necessary consider interference of when selecting public roads testing. However, existing evaluation methods mostly focus functions accident analysis, although have...

• Light inland helicopter is the most accident-prone sector within commercial aviation. Most studies point to human errors and technical failures as risk factors. Our analysis also points work-related factors framework conditions. Dealing with these conditions requires measures focusing on safety culture. E.g. self-imposed commonly accepted operational limits. has for several years been aviatio...

THIS book is in the best traditions of the publications supported by the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust in that it is attractively produced, well written and highly topical. Indeed, it is not surprising that the Trust have sponsored this epidemiological study in these days when the human toll exacted by road accidents is a matter of national disquiet. The authors have dealt with the concep...

An IP performance management infrastructure that has the twin frameworks of performance measurement and topology monitoring is proposed. By combining above frameworks, the infrastructure locates performance-degraded segments. Since the Internet is still highly prone to performance deterioration due to congestion, router failure, and so on, not only detecting performance deterioration, but also ...

The sensitivity of optical coherence tomography images to sample morphology is tested by two methods. The first method estimates the attenuation of the OCT signal from various regions of the probed tissue. The second method uses a box-counting algorithm to calculate the fractal dimensions in the regions of interest identified in the images. Although both the attenuation coefficient as well as t...

Frontage roads are most frequently used in rural and urban environments along freeway and full-controlled principal arterial corridors. Their primary function is to distribute and collect traffic between local streets and interchanges. They have been the primary design solution for providing access along Texas rural freeways and full-controlled principal arterials. With the growing public deman...

The United States general aviation fleet is aging with aircraft manufactured 35–39 years ago representing the most prevalent group. Since older aircraft are more prone to airframe corrosion, fatigue, and brittle electrical wiring, the present study was undertaken to determine whether malfunction-related accidents for general aviation aircraft manufactured between 1970 and 1984 were elevated rel...

Aggregation of Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is often found in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients. The fibrillar aggregates formed by wild type and various disease-associated mutants have recently been found to have distinct cores and morphologies. Previous computational and experimental studies of wild-type SOD1 suggest that the apo-monomer, highly aggregation prone, displays substant...
