OBJECTIVE(S) We examined the effects of endurance exercise in the presence of Bunium persicum extract administration on lipid profile and cardiorespiratory capacity in hypercholesterolemic male mice. Materials and Methods : Forty male hypercholesterolemic mice were divided into four groups: Vehicle, Endurance exercise (EE), Bunium persicum extract (BPE), and EE + BPE. The exercise protocol was ...

The idea of vehicle-highway communications sufficient to assume driving functions for the driver is not new. Researchers have articulated both its value and feasibility for several decades; and military and vehicle manufacturer test facility developments have proven the concept’s viability. As mounting congestion conflicts with environmental constraints, the Automated Highway System (AHS) promi...

A study of Pakistan’s private road freight Irenspofl industry was undertaken and data on freight tariffs, vehicle utilisation, revenues andoperating costs were analyzed, Over a period of four years it was found that average !afiff levels closely followed the rate of inflation with a small marked seasonal variation depending on trip direction. Using multiple regression analysis of crosssectional...

We consider the one-to-one Pickup and Delivery Problem (PDP) in Euclidean Space with arbitrary dimension d where n transportation requests are picked i.i.d. with a separate origin-destination pair for each object to be moved. First, we consider the problem from the customer perspective where the objective is to compute a plan for transporting the objects such that the Euclidean distance travele...

Therefore, in order to acquire adequate privacy level and quality of service, one must have to wisely place mix zones ...

The tractive performance justification of an off-road vehicle is so important that it ensures the vehicle mobility over the unprepared peat terrain. Tractive performance of Low Ground Pressure (LGP-30) wheeled vehicle is investigated on the low bearing capacity moderate peat terrain in Malaysia. The simulation results showed that the vehicle sinkage is more than the critical sinkage value of 10...
