This paper investigates the welfare effect of travelling through congested areas and adverse weather through changes in the speed of individuals’ car trips based on the entire commuting trip. Weather measurements are local and time specific (hourly basis). As most commuters travel twice a day between home and work, we are able to employ panel data techniques, which deals with issues related to ...

An unsupervised learning algorithm with density information considered is proposed for congested scene classification. Though many works have been proposed to address general scene classification during the past years, congested scene classification is not adequately studied yet. In this paper, an efficient unsupervised feature learning approach with density information encoded is proposed to s...

In congested transportation and data networks, travel (or transmission) times are time-varying quantities that are at best known a priori with uncertainty. In such stochastic, time-varying (or STV) networks, one can choose to use the a priori least-expected time (LET) path or one can make improved routing decisions en route as traversal times on traveled arcs are experienced and arrival times a...

highly congested. The heart was healthy. The right cavities of the heart were full of dark fluid blood. The left cavities were empty. The liver, the spleen, the kidneys and the vessels of the brain were congested. The stomach, the intestiues, the bladder, the larynx and trachea, the oesophagus, and the substance of the braiu were healthy. No bones were fractured. The only injury which could be ...

This paper studies approximation solution of a cellular automaton model. In the model, the finite size effect is trivial because the congested flow is quite homogeneous. Thus, the approximation solution of a small sized system can be regarded as solution of large system. We have investigated the approximation solution of a small traffic system with two vehicles. The analytical result is in good...

For shortto medium-length bridges, the governing traffic loading scenario may be congested traffic. This paper presents the calibration of a congested traffic load model using traffic microsimulation. A range of bridge lengths, forms of construction, and load effects is considered. Different driving parameters and traffic composition are also considered. The influence of these parameters on the...

cut and the sore exhibited a dirty, yellowish, grey surface. Large suppurating buboes were found in both groins, that in the right having nearly destroyed the gland tissue, though neither had penetrated very near the surface. Some small ulcers on the mons veneris, sacrum and thighs. Head.?Brain healthy, slightly congested. Lungs congested ; surface lobules much mottled. Trachcea healthy, free f...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to examine the variation in physical activity of elite soccer players within successive prolonged periods of fixture congestion over 5 months of competition during the competitive season 2011-2012. METHODS Sixteen international players, classified into 6 positions (central defenders: CD; full-backs: FB; central defensive midfielders: CDM; wide midfield...

We address interactive voice services over Best E ort packet networks where tra c is subject to unpredictable congestions. The quality of voice services can be signi cantly a ected by network delay and jitter due to the rejection of late packets. LIFO has proven to be an interesting overload strategy in delay constrained systems. We propose the use of the LIFO discipline in the context of conge...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of heart failure (HF) is increasing rapidly with high readmission rates, mainly due to fluid retention. Ultrafiltration (UF) is a mechanical method for removing fluids. Since UF was introduced only recently in Israel, the skill and experience required for outpatient congested HF patients is scarce. OBJECTIVEs: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of UF therapy in con...
