conclusions applying this information can be useful to policy makers and managers for planning and implementing special interventions to prevent and limit future accidental deaths. background traffic accidents are the main cause of deaths in developing countries. fatalities due to traffic accidents are assessed through a three-year time series forecast. objectives the aim of this study is to us...

One of the main problems with today's Internet traffic analysis is caused by the large number of network-based applications whose types and traffic patterns are more complicated than in the past. Today, peer-to-peer (P2P), streaming media, and game traffic are continuously increasing. The difficulty the traffic analysis is that this newly emerging traffic is not as simple as past well-known por...

conclusions our findings reveal that there are temporal variations in traffic accidents, and long holidays significantly influence accident rates. traffic injuries have different patterns on outer/inner city roads, based on weekday and holiday status. thus, these findings could be used to create effective initiatives aimed at traffic management. materials and methods all road traffic accidents ...

backgrounds and aims: the tehran province was subject to the second highest incidence of fatalities due to traffic accidents in 1390. most studies in this field examine rural traffic accidents, but this study is based on the use of logit models and artificial neural networks to evaluate the factors that affect the severity of accidents within the city of tehran. materials and methods: among the...

We analyse the network traffic of the online multiplayer first person shooter game Enemy Territory. The game is based on the Quake 3 game engine but has more complex gaming rules. The data analysed is taken from a public game server run at CAIA, and corresponds to real gaming traffic. Measuring the packet length, inter-arrival time and bandwidth in both directions, this paper describes the impa...

In the Second World War, traffic analysis was used by the British at Bletchley Park to assess the size of Germany’s air-force, and Japanese traffic analysis countermeasures contributed to the surprise of their 1941 attack on Pearl Harbour. Nowadays, Google uses the incidence of links to assess the relative importance of web pages, credit card companies examine transactions to spot fraudulent pa...

This report presents the results from measurements of interdomain traffic traces. It discusses the implications of interdomain traffic characterization on the feasibility of interdomain traffic engineering. In the first part, we study the relationship between interdomain traffic and the routing view of the Internet. Our contributions are the following. The distribution of the traffic received b...

Mehrabian, et. al. (1998) presented a procedure for determining overall assurance interval of ε . Solving n linear programs are needed for this propose, where n is the number of Decision Making Units involved in the evaluation. This paper proposes an efficient algorithm that can determine the overall assurance interval of ε by solving a few number of linear programs. KeywordsData Envelopment An...

Several studies have investigated forum engagement, with a small but growing body of research focussing on the number of people using a forum (membership growth), how they use it (header analysis) and how they introduce themselves (introductory messages). Most studies use established forums and little is known about newly launched forums. This study examines engagement in a newly launched forum...
