We study properties of the work distribution a many-body system driven through quantum phase transition in finite time. focus on non-Gaussianity distribution, which we characterize two quantitative metrics: skewness and negentropy. In particular, Ising model show that duration ramp enhances for size system. By examining characteristics full observe there is clear intermediate regime between sud...

The results of psychophysical studies suggest that displacement velocity may contribute significantly to the sensation of subcortical somatosensory neurons. The cortical correlates of these phenomena, however, are not known. In the present study the responses of rapidly adapting (RA) neurons in the forelimb region of cat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) to controlled displacement of skin and h...

OBJECTIVE Individuals experiencing low back pain often present clinically with intervertebral joint dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to determine whether relative changes in stiffness at a single spinal joint alters neural responsiveness of lumbar muscle spindles to either vertebral movement or position. METHODS Muscle spindle discharge was recorded in response to 1mm L6 ramp and ho...

To ensure higher Level of Service (LoS) at urban motorways, new traffic control concepts are being applied since in most cases there is no available space for infrastructural build-up. For urban motorways, the mostly used control methods are ramp metering combined with additional control methods like variable speed limit control (VSLC). This paper gives a review of the current ramp metering app...

[Purpose] This study compared and analyzed use of an existing ankle ramp and a newly developed ankle ramp for stretching exercises. [Subjects] Fourteen subjects were included; they were stroke patients more than 6 months after onset, with no orthopedic or biological problems in the legs, so independent gait was possible. [Methods] The subjects performed stretching exercises for 5 min with an ex...

The Highways Agency (HA) is developing the concept of Active Traffic Management (ATM) schemes which will coordinate operational regimes such as controlled use of the hard shoulder as a running lane, variable speed limits and ramp metering. The pilot ATM scheme is planned to be implemented on the eastern section of the M42 between Junctions 3a and 7 by 2006. To ensure the success of all these me...

Abstract For efficient land use, the majority of large-scale buildings constructed in large cities are multi-story underground parking lots. The ventilation system is installed to improve indoor air quality lots, but if main fan for supply or exhaust and induction wrong place, performance will suffer. purpose this study was assess on B1F lot connected ramp, as well analyze characteristics airfl...

This study was carried out to determine whether hemodynamics in inactive forearm muscle during ramp leg cycling is affected from the ventilatory threshold (VT) and respiratory compensation point (RCP), at which the rate of increase in ventilation (VE) against power output begins to increase abruptly. Change in hemodynamics was evaluated by change in oxygenation index (difference between concent...

This paper simulates, analyzes, and compares, for two case studies (one synthetic freeway one real-life freeway), the behavior of Logic-Based Traffic Flow Control (LB-TFC), an integrated control strategy Ramp Metering (RM) installations Variable Speed Limits (VSLs) that was proposed derivated in first part work (‘Part 1: Controller’). For study, which presented work, performance LB-TFC is compa...

This paper presents a stochastic mixed-integer linear programming approach for solving the selfscheduling problem of a price-taker thermal and wind power producer taking part in a pool-based electricity market. Uncertainty on electricity price and wind power is considered through a set of scenarios. Thermal units are modelled by variable costs, start-up costs and technical operating constraints...
