Time to stop putting the clocks back?

Time to stop the blame game.

everyone makes mistakes – as the saying goes, ‘We’re only human’. While for most people, their mistakes do not come to the public’s attention, for those working in professions such as medicine and veterinary medicine, the consequences of an error can be severe, even fatal. Speaking at the BSAvA congress earlier this month, Catherine oxtoby, who has studied the causes and types of error in veter...

The NICMOS snapshot survey of nearby galaxies

We present “snapshot” observations with the NearInfrared Camera and MultiObject Spectrometer (NICMOS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) of 94 nearby galaxies from the Revised Shapley Ames Catalog. Images with 0.2 resolution were obtained in two filters, a broad-band continuum filter (F160W, roughly equivalent to the H-band) and a narrow band filter centered on the Paα line (F187N or F19...

Analyzing Stop Time Phase Leading to Congestion Based on Drivers’ Behavior Patterns

Traffic oscillation, stop and go traffic, is created by different reasons such as: sudden speed drop of leader vehicle. Stop and go traffic commonly is observed in congested freeways results in traffic oscillation. Many theories had been presented to define congestion traffic based on laws of physics such as: thermodynamics and fluid. But, these theories could not explain the complexity of driv...
