The first aim of our study was to develop a pregnant mouse model for preeclampsia using adenoviral vector containing mouse full-length soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) but not truncated sFlt-1. The second aim was to evaluate effects of recombinant mouse (rm) vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and rm placental growth factor (PlGF) on a preeclampsia model induced by adenoviral v...

This study addresses the pickup and delivery problem for cross-docking strategy, in which shipments are allowed to be transferred from suppliers to retailers directly as well as through cross-docks. Usual models that investigate vehicle routing in cross-docking networks force all vehicles to stop at the cross-dock even if a shipment is about to a full truckload or the vehicle collects and deliv...

during the recent decades, rapid urbanization growth has led to even faster growth of motorvehicles and especially in large cities. hence, evaluation of the actual level of traffic emissions has gained more interest. this paper, for the first time, presents a bottom-up approach for evaluation of vehicular emissions in tehran- the capital of iran- using the international vehicle emission (ive) m...

one of the important issues in transportation and logistics systems is vehicle routing problem (vrp). the vehicle routing problem is concerned with finding efficient routes of minimum total cost, beginning and ending at a central depot, for a fleet of vehicles to serve a number of customers. on the other hand, as a result of the increasing environmental concerns, economic problems and pressure ...

in this study, stability control of a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the front axle, a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the rear axle, and a standard four-wheeled vehicle are compared. for vehicle dynamics control systems, the direct yaw moment control is considered as a suitable way of controlling the lateral motion of a vehicle during a severe driving maneuver. in accordance...

in the present study, a model of a large lithium polymer (li-po) battery for use in the simulation of hybrid electric vehicles (hevs) is developed. to attain this goal, an equivalent circuit (ec) consisting of a series resistor and two rc parallel networks is considered. the accuracy and the response time of the model for use in an hev simulator are studied. the battery parameters identificatio...

Abstract Accurate vehicle positioning information is essential reliable operation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Conventionally, fusing information by attaching an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to the outside of the vehicle with GPS is widely used for this purpose. However, because a linear tire model is used as the dynamic model for positioning estimation, most methods have lo...
