INTRODUCTION Providing HIV healthcare and Treatment as Prevention both depend on diagnosing HIV cases, preferably soon after initial infection. We hypothesized that tracing risk networks recruits higher proportions of undiagnosed positives than outreach-based testing or respondent-driven sampling (RDS) in Odessa, Ukraine. METHODS The Transmission Reduction Intervention Project (TRIP) used ris...

Carsharing as a means to provide individuals with access to automobiles to complete a personal trip has grown significantly in recent years in China. However, there are few case studies based on operational data to show the role carsharing systems play in citizens’ daily trips. In this study, vehicle GPS data of a round-trip carsharing system in Hangzhou, China was used to describe the trip cha...

The delay costs of traffic disruptions and congestion and the value of travel time reliability are typically evaluated using single trip scheduling models, which treat the trip in isolation of previous and subsequent trips and activities. In practice, however, when activity scheduling to some extent is flexible, the impact of delay on one trip will depend on the actual and predicted travel time...

TRIP-Br1 oncogenic protein has been shown to have multiple biological functions in cells. In this study, we demonstrate that TRIP-Br1 functions as an oncoprotein by inhibiting autophagy, apoptosis, and necroptosis of cancer cells and eventually helping them to survive under the nutrient/serum starved condition. TRIP-Br1 expression level was significantly increased in conditions with low levels ...

We present a constraint programming formulation for the elevator trip origin-destination matrix estimation problem, and propose different approaches to solve the problem. An elevator trip consists of successive stops in one direction of travel with passengers inside the elevator. It can be defined as a directed network, where the nodes correspond to the stops on the trip, and the arcs to the po...

A new mechanism for the primary photoinduced charge separation in photosynthesis is proposed. It involves as real intermediate between the excited special pair state P * and the primary charge separated state P + H − L a trip-trip-singlet P T B T L , which consists of a triplet on the dimer P and a further triplet on the monomer B L. Both combine to a singlet. The electron transfer is caused by...

Fishers’ trip choice behavior in Hawaii’s longline fishery was analyzed by applying a utility theoretic mixed model (a combination of the conditional and multinomial logit (unordered) models) which accounts for both choiceand individual-specific attributes. The results indicate that fishers demonstrated utility maximizing and risk-averse behavior. They exhibited ‘inertia’ in switching to altern...

the conventional intervening opportunity model which is potentially a powerful analytical and probabilistic model, has been used in transportation planning to model trip distribution pattern. this model is basically suffering from two main limitations. these limitations are the assumptions that trip makers are fully aware of all available opportunities in the area and their trip lengths to all ...

Trip distribution is the second important stage in the 4-step travel demand forecasting. The purpose of the trip distribution forecasting is to estimates the trip linkages or interactions between traffic zones for trip makers. The problem of trip distribution is of non-linear nature and Neural Networks (NN) are well suited for addressing the non-linear problems. This fact supports the use of ar...
