The study used a vehicle-based driving simulator to evaluate two graphical displays, one showing risk probability in terms of safety margin (Time Headway, TH), and one showing risk severity in terms of Kinetic Energy (KE). Twenty-seven subjects were randomly allocated to one of three experimental conditions: Control, TH, and KE. Subjects undertook three driving tasks (ABA design). For the secon...

In this note, we prove the generic Kobayashi volume measure hyperbolicity of singular directed varieties (X,V ), as soon as the canonical sheaf KV of V is big in the sense of Demailly.

E-learning is popularized so fast and Collaborative Learning (CL) becomes so important an instructional strategy. There are huge Group Session (GS) texts needed to be analyzed to evaluate CL, thus the automatic or semi-automatic methods of analyzing the GS texts become very important. In this paper we present a method called Interaction Analysis depended on Knowledge Extraction (IAKE) to analyz...

We discuss various properties of the ground state of a Bose-condensed dilute gas confined by an external potential. We devote particular attention to the role played by the interaction in determining the kinetic energy of the system and the aspect ratio of the velocity distribution. The structure of the wave function near the classical turning point is discussed and the drawback of the Thomas-F...

In this paper, first, we present a kinetic data structure for the problem of kinetic convex hull maintenance. After that, discuss some complicated cases followed by the main algorithm and two additional algorithms. Finally, focus on the evaluation of the four properties of the kinetic algorithm in the worst case. We show that quality factors of our algorithm are at most linear. Comparing with s...

Let M be a triangulated, orientable 2-manifold of genus g without boundary, and let h be a height function over M that is linear within each triangle. We present a kinetic data structure (KDS) for maintaining the Reeb graph R of h as the heights of M’s vertices vary continuously with time. Assuming the heights of two vertices of M become equal only O(1) times, the KDS processes O((κ + g)n polyl...

We review the state-of-the-art in the modelling of the aggregation and collective behavior of interacting agents of similar size and body type, typically called swarming. Starting with individual-based models based on “particle”-like assumptions, we connect to hydrodynamic/macroscopic descriptions of collective motion via kinetic theory. We emphasize the role of the kinetic viewpoint in the mod...
