The paper presents a critical review of the Australasian, EU and US roundabout geometric design standards and guidelines and identifies inconsistencies of the Italian roundabout standard which deserve improvement. As a result, recommendations for improvement of the Italian standard are proposed. These recommendations are mainly based on the concepts of design flexibility and performance based d...

A frequency compensation technique for the improvement of unity gain bandwidth (UGB) and power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of two stage operational amplifiers is presented in this paper. Performance of proposed op-amp is compared with classical miller compensated op-amp and op-amp proposed by G. Blakiewicz [13]. The technique exploits the triode mode operation of a MOSFET in the compensation ...

Bus system performance varies from city to city, and experience clearly indicates that simply increasing the size of bus fleet cannot always improve bus system performance. It is therefore necessary to identify the major variables of bus system performance in different cities and implement a diversity improvement strategy based on actual problems that cities are facing. Two new indicators, annu...

Today's process manufacturers are faced with a volatile economy, intense competition and rising energy/material costs. Improving operational for margin purposes, but also for long term success. Cost reduction and quality/productivity improvement have now become key levers for gaining competitive advantage. Operational excellence is the pursuit of conducting business in a manner that continuousl...
