Capacity drop (CD) at overloaded bottlenecks is a puzzling traffic flow phenomenon with some internal and complicated mechanisms the microscopic level. not only important for theory modelling, but also significant control. A model evaluating control measures needs to be able reproduce capacity in order deliver reliable evaluation results. This paper delivers comprehensive overview on subject fr...

Each year in the UK, around 1 in 5,000 people develop Bell’s palsy, which is characterised by unilateral facial weakness of rapid onset (Rowlands 2002,Holland 2004). The condition can develop at any age, but seems to be most common in those aged between 15 and 60 years (Peitersen 1982). In about 71% of patients, it resolves spontaneously without treatment, but 13% are left with slight facial we...

Traditional DEA models ignore the internal process of production systems and are not able to identify the cause of deficiency in efficiencies measuring. At this research, traditional DEA model and two-stage DEA model were used to measure the efficiency of Iranian private insurance companies during 2007-2009. The results indicated that the traditional DEA model is not suitable for such kind of n...

We will discuss the limitation of cardboard as a material for reconstruction models, and whether an alter­­native could be helpful to overcome these limitations. have experimented with 3D-print­ed plastic ways reduce longitudinal high edge stiffness, get around what we think is main weakness using cardboard. The goal has been open possibilities interpretation. end result tests used build 1:5 mo...

Prior work on weakness of will has assumed that it is a thoroughly psychological phenomenon. At least, it has assumed that ordinary attributions of weakness of will are purely psychological attributions, keyed to the violation of practical commitments by the weak-willed agent. Debate has recently focused on which sort of practical commitment, intention or normative judgment, is more central to ...

autoerythrocyte sensitization syndrome cabs) is a rare purpuric disorder of women characterized by inflammatory and painful ecchymotic lesions unrelated to blood clotting or vascular abnormalities. gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria, headache or syncopal attacks may also be observed. our patient is a 33-year-old woman presenting with recurrent severe painful ecchymotic lesions on both lower e...

INTRODUCTION In our experience, sometimes, the symptom of patients who suffered from infarction in internal capsule (IC) do not necessarily fit the classical fiber distribution. This study aims to explain this phenomenon. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 34 patients with infarction lesions in the IC were included in this study, according to the clinical symptom, divided into three groups, gro...

I present a case study of scientific discovery, where building two functional and behavioral approximations of neurons, one physical and the other computational, led to conceptual and implementation breakthroughs in a neural engineering laboratory. Such building of external systems that mimic target phenomena, and the use of these external systems to generate novel concepts and control structur...
