Response time is a key factor to determine the quality of prehospital emergency medical service. We propose a method to estimate the response times based on a classified road network. The method takes into account different attributes that depend on road type, category, surface and class. Comparison of measured times and calculated values shows that the estimated response times are optimistical...

The physical, chemical and total heterotrophic bacteriological parameters (THBP) bacterial population were measured at three sampling stations namely Upper Anicut (S1), Chinthamani road bridge (S2) and Grand Anicut (S3) for a period of three month January to March 2007 in the river Kaveri, Tiruchirappalli.

We introduce a practically important and theoretically challenging problem: finding the minimum cost path for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in a network with refueling and battery switching stations, considering electricity and gasoline as sources of energy with different cost structures and limitations. We show that this problem is NP-complete even though its electric vehicle and co...
