The results of recent studies on prediction markets are encouraging. Prior experience demonstrates that markets with different incentive schemes predicted uncertain future events at a remarkable accuracy. In this paper, we study the impact of different monetary incentives on the prediction accuracy in a field experiment. In order to do so, we compare three groups of users, corresponding to thre...

The literature has documented a positive relationship between walkable built environments and outdoor mobility in older adults. Yet, surprisingly absent is any consideration of how weather conditions modify the impact of neighbourhood walkability. Using archived weather data linked to survey data collected from a sample of older adults in Vancouver, Canada, we found that car-dependent neighbour...

In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness result of the linear Schrodinger equation with Marchaud fractional derivative in Colombeau generalized algebra. The purpose of introducing Marchaud fractional derivative is regularizing it in Colombeau sense.

An important function of traffic flow management ensuring the number of aircraft entering a sector does not exceed the amount that can be safely controlled by the sector controller. One factor that makes this task difficult is the uncertainty of the impact of convective weather, as both the weather forecast and the impact given specific weather is uncertain. In this investigation, we study this...

This paper describes an integrated solution to traffic conflict detection and resolution with weather avoidance in the Center-TRACON Automation System. An automatic conflict resolution algorithm developed and tested to resolve aircraft-to-aircraft conflicts is modified to reroute aircraft around convective weather constraints while avoiding traffic conflicts. The approach extends algorithms whi...

This paper presents a two-stage restoration technique incorporating weather effect considerations in reliability cost/worth evaluation of distribution systems. The weather conditions play a significant role on the reliability of a given power system leading to frequent incidence of failures to overhead system and their effectiveness. The physical stresses exerted by adverse weather increase the...
