Risky driving behavior is regarded as being one of the best predictors of traffic accidents. Traffic violations certainly signal risky driving behavior, but the analysis of the linkage of traffic violations, individual and vehicle characteristics and annual mileage has so far been hampered by the difficulty of gaining access to appropriate disaggregate data. The contribution of this paper is th...

T he Web has spurred an information revolution, even reaching sectors left untouched by the personal computing boom of the 80s. It made information ubiquity a reality for sizeable segments of the world population, transcending all socioeconomic levels. The ease of information access, coupled with the ready availability of personal data, also made it easier and more tempting for interested parti...

Syntactic violations in speech and music have been shown to elicit an anterior negativity (AN) as early as 100 ms after violation onset and a posterior positivity that peaks at roughly 600 ms (P600/LPC). The language AN is typically reported as left-lateralized (LAN), whereas the music AN is typically reported as right-lateralized (RAN). However, several lines of evidence suggest syntactic proc...

Free and open source software (FOSS) has created a large pool of source codes that can be easily copied to create new applications. However, a copy should preserve copyright notice and license of the original file unless the license explicitly permits such a change. Through software evolution, it is challenging to keep original licenses or choose proper licenses. As a result, there are many pot...

As alternative transportation is getting more and fashionable, people worldwide are "shifting" to walking trips, even for their daily commuting, traffic crashes suffered by pedestrians still a great concern road safety public health researchers practitioners. In this regard, risky or "aberrant" behaviors have emerged, during the last few years, as key issue be considered crash prevention. Never...

Social media sites have appeared during the last 10 years and their use has exploded all over the world. Twitter is a microblogging service that has currently 320 million user profiles and over 100 million daily active users. Many celebrities and leading politicians have a verified profile on Twitter, including Justin Bieber, president Obama, and the Pope. In this paper we investigate the '‘hun...

Elderly drivers often tend to disobey stop signs, and the number of vehicle accidents associated with this is increasing. The problem we address in work that failure (or inability) elderly identify potential conflicts other road users at stop-sign intersections. purpose study investigate influence deceleration control brake hold on driving habits potentially hazardous situations. This proposes ...

The goal of the present paper was to study if a similar neurophysiological process is required for treating violations of both arithmetical rules and linguistic syntactic structures. It has been shown that syntactic violations elicit the P600/syntactic positive shift (SPS) component, reflecting secondary parsing processes or repairing of an incorrect syntactic structure. However, late positivit...

User satisfaction as a significant antecedent to user loyalty has been highlighted by many researchers in market based literatures. SLA violation as an important factor can decrease users’ satisfaction level. The amount of this decrease depends on user’s characteristics. Some of these characteristics are related to QoS requirements and announced to service provider through SLAs. But some of the...
