Title of Document: A RELIABLE TRAVEL TIME PREDICTION SYSTEM WITH SPARSELY DISTRIBUTED DETECTORS Nan Zou Directed By: Dr. Gang-Len Chang, Professor Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Due to the increasing congestion in most urban networks, providing reliable trip times to commuters has emerged as one of the most critical challenges for all existing Advanced Traffic Information Sys...

Introduction: The medical literature has identified a variety of health risks associated with travel. Risks depend on the susceptibility of the traveler, the specifics of the destination, the mode of transport, and on chance events. Ill-prepared travelers who underestimate travel risks may encounter a variety of health problems. In order to eventually increase the capability of...

A Directed Cyclic Graph approach is used to model interrelated vertices of fluctuating time, state and space. This model predicts a variety of phenomena for energy and space including a constant and maximum speed at which any moving entity can travel, and predictions for time elapsed differing for a moving entity relative to a stationary entity. The model has proven amenable to computer modelli...

in the safavid period, as opposed to previous periods such as the timurid era, there is not any discussion of organology in musical treatises and authors had just referred to the name of some instruments. thus, in order to investigate in this field, it is necessary to study other worthwhile historical sources. in the discussed historical period, there are lots of travel accounts which contain i...

the velocity data of seismic waves in a region has an important role in locating occurred events. information such as velocity ratio of vp/vs and velocity curves for pg, pn, sg, and sn phases directly affect the locating results. it is well known that the vp/vs ratio can be used to predict lithology, and that s-waves are sensitive to microcracks aligned by the present day stress field. also, th...

An algorithm for an NP-complete problem is presented, namely the existence of a Directed Hamiltonian Path in a directed graph. The main advantage of this algorithm is that it uses exponentially less DNA than original approach of Adleman. It is an implementation of a classic result in a 1964 paper of R. Held and R.M. Karp. For a graph withn vertices,O(n) time steps are used, each requiring up to...

A cellular automata approach (using a Directed Cyclic Graph) is used to model interrelationships of fluctuating time, state and space. This model predicts phenomena including a constant and maximum speed at which any moving entity can travel, time dilation effects in accordance with special relativity, relativistic Doppler effects, propagation in three spatial dimensions, an explanation for the...
