Increasing highway traffic congestion and real estate costs that limit the building of new highways has brought about a renewed interest in an Automated Highway System (AHS) where the vehicle steering task (“lateral control”) and the braking/throttle tasks (“longitudinal control”) are taken over by computers to increase the throughput of existing highways. Since safety plays a key role in the d...

Abstract. Aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) contribute significantly to ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation in the atmosphere, but their mechanisms are still unclear. Herein, photochemical oxidation of nine AHs was investigated a chamber. Only small amount produced from direct AHs, while lower number AH substituents resulted higher concentrated ozone. Addition NOx increased SOA produc...

We show that a large class of non–metric, non–symplectic affine holonomies can be realized, uniformly and without case by case considerations, by Weyl connections associated to the natural AHS–structures on certain generalized flag manifolds.

Voluminously epidemiological studies show that the relationships exist between the air pollution and human health and cancer. Aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) in air form a large class of organic pollutants, which are widely in environment and many of them are known to be carcinogenic and/or mutagenic and contribute to ambient air pollution. In the past decades, bioassays mainly have been used to ev...

African horse sickness (AHS) is a severe, often fatal, arbovirus infection of horses, transmitted by Culicoides spp. midges. AHS occurs in most of sub-Saharan Africa and is a significant impediment to export of live horses from infected countries, such as South Africa. A stochastic risk model was developed to estimate the probability of exporting an undetected AHS-infected horse through a vecto...

OBJECTIVE To illustrate the clinical features, laboratory findings, and management of anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS), emphasizing the importance of recognizing its multiple clinical components and raising awareness of the cross-sensitivity among different anticonvulsants. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION Two cases of AHS due to carbamazepine and a combination of sodium v...

Valproic acid (VPA) is an antiepileptic medication used in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Its toxicity profile is characterized by a very rare but well-documented complication-hepatotoxicity. The risk of acute hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS) caused by VPA is less well known. In the vast majority of reported cases of AHS, the syndrome is the result of aromatic anticonvulsants (AAs), such as ...
