Traffic information collection and traffic flow control around the crossroads are main topics of current traffic related research. The most commonly used method of traffic signal control at present is fixed-time control which only applies to small traffic flow circumstances with low efficiency. Therefore, we propose a new method which is an adaptive crossroads control model based on Wireless Se...

The human sense of smell has long been belittled as a vestige of the more powerful olfactory capabilities observed in other mammals. Yet, now that the genes for our 350 olfactory receptors are known and researchers are beginning to link them both to olfactory stimuli and to downstream neurological processes, olfaction emerges at an important crossroads allowing scientists to investigate connect...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE DEHSI on T2-weighted MR imaging in preterm infants at term-equivalent age has been regarded as an unfavorable marker for neurodevelopmental outcome. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the presence and extent of DEHSI and neurodevelopmental outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated the MR images of 160 preterm infants at term-equivalent age....

The Core Zone of the Southeastern Churchill Province, northeastern Laurentia, is a composite of Paleoproterozoic lithotectonic domains assembled in the vise between obliquely colliding Archean Superior and North Atlantic cratons between ca. 1860 and 1810 Ma. Detailed geological and U–Pb geochronological studies of domains in the southern Core Zone highlight significant differences in Archean an...

Operation CROSSROADS, conducted at Bikini Atoll in 1946, was the first post World War II test of nuclear weapons. Mortality experience of 40,000 military veteran participants in CROSSROADS was compared to that of a similar cohort of nonparticipating veterans. All-cause mortality of the participants was slightly increased over nonparticipants by 5% (p < .001). Smaller increases in participant mo...

In hindsight, the year 1990 was a crossroads in environmental and regulatory policy generally and in the regulation of food specifically. And two different narratives capture the competing regulatory choices presented at that crossroads. The first, a conventional narrative, finds mounting evidence of what many regard as the dominant avenues of regulatory reform in environmental policymaking: ma...
