this paper aims to investigate a new and intricate behavior of immediate follower during the lane change of leader vehicle. accordingly, the mentioned situation is a transient state in car following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car following models for a limited time, which is a complex state including lateral and longitudinal movement simul...

different discrete models of population dynamics of certain insects have been investigated under various feasible conditions within the framework of nonlinear dynamics. evolutionary phenomena are discussed through bifurcation analysis leading to chaos. some tools of nonlinear dynamics, such as lyapunov characteristic exponents (lce), lyapunov numbers, correlation dimension, etc. are calculated ...

This article develops flexible methodology to study the association between scalar outcomes and functional predictors observed over time, at many instances, in longitudinal studies. We propose a parsimonious modeling framework to study time-varying regression that leads to superior prediction properties and allows to reconstruct full trajectories of the response. The idea is to model the time-v...

The influence of relative longitudinal position on the frequency characteristics two interacting ships floating stationary in close proximity head waves and shallow water is investigated this paper. A CFD approach has been adopted to simulate dynamic behavior ships. numerical simulation for “Aleksey Kosygin” “Novgorod” at a small transverse distance was carried out using scaled models. effect s...

A new dynamic friction force model for the longitudinal road/tire interaction for wheeled ground vehicles is validated via experiments with an actual passenger vehicle. Contrary to common static friction/slip maps, this new dynamic friction model is able to accurately capture the transient behavior of the friction force observed during transitions between braking and acceleration. A velocitydep...

in this study, the longitudinal shrinkage behavior of knitted fabrics during drying has been studied. in this context, a model is presented to predict the longitudinal shrinkage of plain knitted fabric during drying process. in order to model the shrinkage behavior, a 1dof model consists of a mass, a linear spring and a linear damper have been used. in presented model the time-varying mass is c...

totoday’s market place is increasingly dynamic and volatile. in this area supply network issues recently have attracted a lot of attention from industrial practitioners and academics worldwide. chaos theory is the study of complex, nonlinear, dynamic systems. for chaotic systems, a tiny change in conditions may result in an enormous change in system output, whereas substantial changes in condit...

BACKGROUND The implicit association hypothesis of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) proposes that individuals who engage in self-injury develop, over time, strong associations between themselves and NSSI, and their identification with this behavior guides their future selection of NSSI to cope. Prior research has established a relationship between implicit NSSI associations (using an Implicit Asso...
