This paper addresses a bi-modal multi-objective discrete urban road network design problem. The problem includes the simultaneous design of urban road and bus networks in urban areas in which the authorities play a major role in designing bus network topology. The road network design consists of decision making for lane additions to the existing streets, new street constructions, determining th...

Abstract The coupling between closely spaced split-ring resonators, when employed as sub-components of electromagnetic structures, is an important feature often leveraged upon to provide bulk material properties. In its contribution, this paper employs characteristic-mode analysis (CMA) examine modal interactions intrinsic the a pair resonators. reveals influence feed impedance and rotational o...

Cross-modal processing depends strongly on the compatibility between different sensory inputs, the relative timing of their arrival to brain processing components, and on how attention is allocated. In this behavioral study, we employed a cross-modal audio-visual Stroop task in which we manipulated the within-trial stimulus-onset-asynchronies (SOAs) of the stimulus-component inputs, the groupin...

Abstract We introduce a 1 × N integrated power splitter for the multimode photonics platform. The device converts an input laser beam into higher-order mode beam, which afterwards is split. core of this setup represented by non-uniform array waveguides that allows achieving arbitrary splitting. system exhibits high modal purity and tested against wavelength variations fabrication errors. possib...

Based on an analysis of the developments to date, this article originates from and then substantiates long-discussed approaches a fast, periodic unaccompanied combined rail freight transport network for Germany that corresponds target modal split. A four-stage scenario market entry is developed. The presented solution incorporates potentially novel aspects such as design based Deutschlandtakt C...

The first and last mile part of the public transport journey are essential for whole system. Its quality affects overall experience passenger in transport. It is not important how attractive individual modes if rest unattractive passenger. This paper about shared mobility it describes connection between first/last system. Modes can reduce pressure on city transport also bring a better mo...

It is well known that measurement error of numerical measurements can be divided into a systematic and a random component and that only the latter component is estimable if there is no gold standard or reference standard available. In this paper, we consider measurement error of nominal measurements. We motivate that, on a nominal measurement scale too, measurement error has a systematic and a ...

In this paper an efficient split-type Finite-Difference (FD) scheme with high modal resolution – most important for the streamwise convection terms that cause wave transport and interaction – is derived for a mixed Fourier-spectral/FD method that is designed for the spatial direct numerical simulation (DNS) of boundary-layer transition and turbulence. Using a relatively simple but thorough and ...

the nonlinear static procedures (nsps) proposed by design codes do not lead to reliable results especially for tall buildings. they generally provide inconsistent estimates of inelastic seismic demands, especially for the top floors due to their inabilities in considering the higher modes effects. in this paper, a new enhanced pushover procedure is proposed which is based on the envelope of the...

In a probability guessing experiment, subjects try to guess which of two events will occur next. Humans tend to match the frequency of previous occurrences in their guesses. Animals other than humans tend to maximize or always choose the option that has occurred the most frequently in the past. Investigators have argued that frequency matching results from the attempt of humans to find patterns...
