Cooperative transit signal priority (CTSP), which integrates cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology, can improve the efficiency of connected vehicles at signalized intersections. However, few studies have considered impact bus stops on CTSP under adaptive control. Near-side an intersection and multiple arriving same stop affect arrival prediction. To overcome these shortcomings, we p...

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...

This paper discusses spatial autocorrelation in mode choice models, including what kind of bias it introduces and how to remedy the problem. The research shows that a spatially autocorrelated mode choice model, not uncommon because of, in terms of transit characteristics homogeneous neighborhoods, systematically overestimates transit trips from suburban transit-unfriendly areas and underestimat...

introduction: renal dynamic study is a well-established and popular test in routine practice of nuclear medicine. the test is non-invasive, rapid and unique in evaluation of the kidney function. in despite of its clinical values, the parameters derived from renogram are physiologically meaningless. that is due to the fact that renogram is not the true kidney function. from mathematical points o...

Objective(s):This study was carried out to investigate the effects of COX-2 selective inhibitor (Celecoxib) or non-selective COX inhibitor (Ibuprofen) on gastrointestinal motility. Materials and Methods: The rats were randomly divided into five groups including: intact, sham, traumatic brain injury (TBI) group (intact rats under TBI), Celecoxib group (10 mg/kg), Ibuprofen group (10 mg/kg). Rats...

Introduction: The dwell time and transit time components contribute to the overall delivered dose to patients in high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatments. The transit time results from source entry and exit as well as source movements between dwell positions. It depends on various parameters such as the source speed profile, source indexer distance to dwell position, and ...

in this paper a novel direct adaptive fuzzy system is proposed to control flexible-joints robot including actuator dynamics. the design includes two interior loops: the inner loop controls the motor position using proposed approach while the outer loop controls the joint angle of the robot using a pid control law. one novelty of this paper is the use of a pso algorithm for optimizing the contro...

isovanillin and iso-acetovanillon are two phenolic components isolated from a number of plants including pycnocycla spinosa . p. spinosa extract has antispasmodic and antidiarrheal activities. however, no comparative study has been done on antidiarrheal action of isovanillin and iso- acetovanillon, so far. the aim of this study was to investigate antidiarrheal action of isovanillin and iso-acet...
