This paper proposes an analytical model for analyzing the effect of road pricing in a grid network. The is based on continuous approximation where origins and destinations are uniformly distributed travel demand expressed as exponential function cost. Analytical expressions traffic volume toll area revenue obtained rectangular city with demonstrate how size shape level affect revenue. explicitl...

Spermiogenesis and the ultrastructural characters of the spermatozoon of Mesocestoides lineatus are described by means of transmission electron microscopy, including cytochemical analysis for glycogen. Materials were obtained from a golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) after experimental infection with tetrathyridia metacestodes obtained from naturally infected lizards (Anolis carolinensis) fr...

Improvements in robot autonomy are changing the human-robot interaction from low-level manipulation to high-level task-based collaboration. For a task-oriented collaboration, a human assigns sub-tasks to robot team members. In this paper, we consider task-oriented collaboration of humans and robots in a cordon and search problem. We focus on a path-planning framework with natural language input...

PURPOSE To evaluate macro and microscopically the evolution of autotransplants of fragments of spleen different fragments in the greater omentum, after eight weeks of observation. METHODS Twenty rats Wistar were used, males and adults, submitted to total splenectomy and divided in two groups. The group I - ten animals with implant of spleen fragment (25% weight of spleen) in the omentum; and ...

Abstract While much has been written about the impact (or not) of Western intervention in latter stages Taiping Rebellion (1851–1866), comparatively little attention heretofore directed towards riverine campaigns and combined land-river operations whereby Qing steadily reduced scope control tightened cordon around their heavenly capital at Nanjing. Strategists such as Hu Linyi Zuo Zongtang reco...

Drivers in urban neighborhoods who patrol streets, seeking inexpensive on-street parking create a significant fraction of measured traffic congestion. The pool of drivers patrolling at any time can be modeled as a queue, where ‘queue service’ is the act of parking in a recently vacated parking space and queue discipline is SIRO – Service In Random Order. We develop a queueing model of such driv...
