This paper describes the conceptual design and validation of an Air Traffic Management concept and the role the safety and human factors played in this design and validation process. The Free Flight concept is characterized by being a direct route concept where the pilots, instead of the air traffic controller, are responsible for the airborne separation assurance. Moving this task to the cockp...

When service sectors are a major driver for the growth of the world economy, we are challenged to implement service-oriented infrastructure as e-Gov platform to achieve further growth and innovation for both developed and developing countries. According to recent trends in service industry, it is clarified that main factors for the growth of service sectors are investment into knowledge, trade,...

With the expansion of stock market, investors and capital are increasing step by step, which makes the stock market an increasing impact on the macro-economy. In order to reveal the effect of macro factors on the specified industry’s stock price, a new nonlinear regression model is established with Eviews6.0 software in the paper. We take macro variables as samples which are based on interest r...

Micro-macro models provide a powerful tool to study the relationship between microscale mechanisms and emergent macroscopic behavior. However, the detailed microscopic modeling may require tracking and evolving a high-dimensional configuration space at high computational cost. In this work, we present a parallel algorithm for simulation a high-dimensional micro-macro model of a gliding motility...

Longitudinal data with time-dependent covariates is not readily analyzed as there are inherent, complex correlations due to the repeated measurements on the sampling unit and the feedback process between the covariates in one time period and the response in another. A generalized method of moments (GMM) logistic regression model (Lalonde, Wilson, and Yin 2014) is one method to analyze such corr...

It is known that the essential ingredients of a Lisp-style unhygienic macro system can be expressed in terms of advanced hygienic macro systems. We show that the reverse is also true: We present a model of a core unhygienic macro system, on top of which a hygiene-compatible macro system can be built, without changing the internals of the core macro system and without using a code walker. To ach...

The effects of pH and chloride concentration on the electrochemical corrosion of copper in aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) media were studied at the micro scale using a microcapillary droplet cell and at the macro scale using a conventional large scale cell. Using an experimental design strategy, electrochemical response surface models of copper versus pH and NaCl concentration were constructed ...

The paper presents an algorithm for multi-agent strategic modeling (MASM). The method applies domain knowledge and transforms sequences of basic multi-agent actions into a set of strategic action descriptions in the form of graph paths, agent actions, roles and corresponding rules. The rules, constructed by machine learning, enrich the graphical strategic patterns, which are presented in the fo...

Synthetic routes for the preparation of O-acetyl-ADP-ribose and two novel non-hydrolyzable analogs containing an N-acetyl are described and shown to interact with the macro domain of histone protein H2A1.1.
