INTRODUCTION A sustainable transport system must provide mobility and accessibility to all urban residents in a safe and environment friendly mode of transport. This is a complex and difficult task when the needs and demands of people belonging to different income groups are not only different but also often conflicting. For example, if a large proportion of the population can not afford to use...

In principle, FEMA supports the implementation of ITS technology that has the potential to provide added safety, comfort and economy to road users provided that: their use is not mandatory, and does not exclude unequipped vehicles from the road; they take into account the needs, characteristics and limitations of powered two wheeler users and their vehicles; they do not create an additional haz...

In part I of the Thesis charge ordering and transport in arrays of coated semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dot arrays) are studied. Charge ordering in dot arrays is considered by mapping the electrons on the dots onto the frustrated spin model on the triangular lattice. A number of phases is identified for this system. Phase diagram is studied by means of the height field order parameter. No...

the objective followed in this study was to investigate the transport and degradation of herbicides under different herbigation vs. conventional spraying systems in soil. metribuzin and potassium bromide (kbr) were applied in soil plots by four application methods, including conventional spraying without delay in initial irrigation (cs1), conventional spraying with an initial 24-h delay in irri...
