Traffic congestion has become a serious problem that arises in our cities; this is due to rapid population growth, the rapid increase in the number of cars. Therefore, there is an infernal traffic jams. It is in this light, it is imperative to eliminate or at least reduce traffic congestion through the adoption of the policy of ITS (intelligent transport systems). The objective of this paper is...

Cudrania tricuspidata (Carr.), a deciduous tree, mainly distributed in Eastern Asia[1] and Several kinds of compounds have been found in C.tricuspidata, such as xanthones[2], flavonoids[ 3], alkaloids, sugars[4]. Biological effects of whole plant are main concentrated in flavonoids and xanthones. These compounds have a number of pharmacological activities including antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti...

The first four sections reflect basic research that has gone into better understanding processes that dictate discharge and stage on the Hudson , Mohawk, and tributaries. Work from Sections 3 and 4 (precipitation intensity and ice jams) is ongoing. We plan to have publications on these two topics complete by the end of the spring. Work on Sections 1 and 2 is complete and provides some helpful c...

Several traffic control approaches address the problem of reducing traffic jams. A class of these approaches deals with coordination of traffic lights to allow vehicles traveling in a given direction to pass an arterial without stopping. This paper presents an approach where each traffic light behaves like a social insect, having coordinated signals plan as tasks to be performed. The model uses...

The present study investigated the effectiveness of sago starch as a gelling agent on the rheological characteristics of mango jam. The rheological properties of modified mango jam containing sago starch in three concentrations (2%, 6%, and 10%) at the temperature range of (5, 25, and 45oC) were investigated. Mango jams containing sago starch behaved as a pseudoplastic fluid with yield stress. ...
