the main objective of this study was to reveal the impact of nine climate indices on temperature changes and climate oscillations in golestan province along the southern coast of the caspian sea. climate indices data from across the atlantic-eurasian sector were collected from the ncep/ncar, the climate prediction centre (cpc) and the climatic research unit (cru) over a period of 40 years (1971...

Neocortical "theta" oscillation (5-12 Hz) has been observed in animals and human subjects but little is known about how the oscillation is organized in the cortical intrinsic networks. Here we use voltage-sensitive dye and optical imaging to study a carbachol/bicuculline induced theta ( approximately 8 Hz) oscillation in rat neocortical slices. The imaging has large signal-to-noise ratio, allow...

Abstract: The online identification of power system dominated inter-area oscillations interface based on the incremental energy function method is proposed in this paper. The dominant inter-area oscillations interface can be obtained by calculating branch oscillation potential energy, which is tie-line concentrated by oscillations energy. To get the oscillation energy caused by the different me...

In this study, multimode chaos observed from two coupled chaotic oscillators with hard nonlinearities is investigated. At first, a simple chaotic oscillator with hard nonlinearities is realized. It is confirmed that in this chaotic oscillator the origin is always asymptotically stable and that the solution, which is excited by giving relatively large initial conditions, undergoes period-doublin...

objectives this study aimed to measure road traffic fatality rates and years of lost life, and also to depict a view of trends in road traffic deaths from 2004 to 2010 in yazd city, a province in central iran. materials and methods this retrospective case study analyzed road traffic deaths that were classified under the v01 - v99 codes of the icd-10 in yazd province from march 2004 to march 201...

Recent advances in synchrophasor based oscillation monitoring algorithms have allowed engineers to detect oscillation issues that may have previously gone undetected. Although such an oscillation can be flagged and its oscillation shape can indicate the general vicinity of its source, low number of synchrophasors means that a specific generator or load that is the root cause of an oscillation c...

short term prediction of traffic flow is one of the most essential elements of all proactive traffic control systems. although various methodologies have been applied to forecast traffic parameters, several researchers have showed that compared with the individual methods, hybrid methods provide more accurate results . these results made the hybrid tools and approaches a more common method for ...

rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. in the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. with traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. four s...
