Frontage roads are most frequently used in rural and urban environments along freeway and full-controlled principal arterial corridors. Their primary function is to distribute and collect traffic between local streets and interchanges. They have been the primary design solution for providing access along Texas rural freeways and full-controlled principal arterials. With the growing public deman...

We present a simple simulation of road growing dynamics that can generate global features as belt-ways and star patterns observed in urban transportation infrastructure. The road growing dynamics consist of two steps: Identifying the maximum transportation potential bewteen two locations within the city, followed by the generation of the least expensive road between these two locations. The sim...

The Gene Ontology Consortium launched the GO-PAINT project (Phylogenetic Annotation and INference Tool) 9 years ago and is currently being used in the GO Reference Genome Annotation Project to support inference of GO function terms (molecular function, cellular component and biological process) by homology. PAINT uses a phylogenetic model to infer gene function by homology, a process that requi...

Complete denture fabrication in clinically compromised situations such as flabby ridges is a challenging task for the clinician. Accurate impressioning of these tissues plays a major role in ensuring a well-fitting prosthesis. In this paper, the authors have proposed a newer technique of impression making of the flabby tissues using a combination of readily available newer and older materials t...

This paper reports on a fast multiresolution scan matcher for local vehicle localization of self-driving cars. State-ofthe-art approaches to vehicle localization rely on observing road surface reflectivity with a three-dimensional (3D) light detection and ranging (LIDAR) scanner to achieve centimeter-level accuracy. However, these approaches can often fail when faced with adverse weather condit...

food labels play an important role in well being of consumers. as a part of it, date marking is a valid guide to shelf life of a food. the present study was done in 2010, in smart food center, wollongong; new south wales, australia to determine if the residents are familiar with date marking of food products. data was accumulated by either interview guide or questionnaire method. basic unselect...
