The present study investigates linear and volatile (nonlinear) correlations of firstorder autoregressive process with uncorrelated AR (1) and long-range correlated CAR (1) Gaussian innovations as a function of the process parameter (θ). In the light of recent findings [1], we discuss the choice of CAR (1) in modeling daily temperature records. We demonstrate that while CAR (1) is able to captur...

Potential field theory, as a theory that can also be applied to vehicle control, is an emerging risk quantification approach accommodate the connected and self-driving environment. Vehicles have different impact effects on other road participants in each direction under influence of rules. This variability exhibited by vehicles not considered previous potential model. Therefore, this paper prop...

In this study, a car-following model is put forth to explain the behavior of HDVs (human-driven vehicles), AVs (autonomous vehicles) and CAVs (connected automated in mixed traffic. Based on IDM (intelligent-driver model) molecular dynamic theory, includes velocity surrounding vehicles along with difference headway between each pair vehicles. The drivers’ sensitivity deceleration nearest front v...

The outside appearance of cars is mostly defined through only two distinct materials – glass and car paint. While glass can rather easily be simulated by the simple physical laws of reflection and refraction, modeling car paint is more challenging. In this paper we present a framework for the efficient acquisition and realistic rendering of realworld car paint. This is achieved by building an e...

Driving a car in daily life involves multiple tasks. One important task for safe driving is carfollowing, the interference of which causes rear-end collisions: the most common type of car accident. Recent reports have described that car-following is hindered even by handsfree mobile telephones. We conducted functional MRI with 18 normal volunteers to investigate brain activity changes that occu...

purpose: to report a case of pseudoexfoliation syndrome in young keratoconus patient following penetrating keratoplasty. case report: a 37 year old man who underwent penetrating keratoplasty 13 years ago in his left eye due to keratoconus developed pseudoexfoliation (pex) syndrome in the operated eye. apart from pex material deposition on the crystalline lens ophthalmic exam was within normal l...

Preliminary notes The calibration process is a basic condition of traffic model application in local conditions. The choice of input parameters, which are used in calibration process, influences the success of the calibration process itself; therefore, the goal is to choose parameters with a larger influence on the modelling process. This paper offers a detailed analysis of car-following input ...

The constitutively active receptor (CAR) transactivates a distal enhancer called the phenobarbital (PB)-responsive enhancer module (PBREM) found in PB-inducible CYP2B genes. CAR dramatically increases its binding to PBREM in livers of PB-treated mice. We have investigated the cellular mechanism of PB-induced increase of CAR binding. Western blot analyses of mouse livers revealed an extensive nu...

We show that the class of conditional distributions satisfying the coarsening at random (CAR) property for discrete data has a simple and robust algorithmic description based on randomized uniform multicovers: combinatorial objects generalizing the notion of partition of a set. However, the complexity of a given CAR mechanism can be large: the maximal “height” of the needed multicovers can be e...
