Children's school journeys have changed vastly during recent decades: More children are being driven to school in private cars instead of walking and cycling, with many who are entitled to a free school bus service still being driven. Earlier research into travel mode choice has often investigated how urban form impacts upon mode choice regarding school journeys-in particular how urban form hin...

Dataaow constraints allow programmers to easily specify relationships among application objects in a natural, declarative manner. Most constraint solvers represent these dataaow relationships as directed edges in a dependency graph. Unfortunately, dependency graphs require a great deal of storage. Consequently, an application with a large number of constraints can get pushed into virtual memory...

Following the implementation of different transport policy measures, the analysis of experiences in the European cities has led to the conclusion that parking policy measures have the dominant effect on the choice of private car as a mode of transport. This effect is the greatest for the commutes to work, characterized by the longest duration of parking space occupancy. Given the aforementioned...

This paper investigates the coupled axial-radial (CAR) vibration of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) based on doublet mechanics (DM) with a scale parameter. Two coupled forth order partial differential equations that govern the CAR vibration of SWCNTs are derived. It is the first time that DM is used to model the CAR vibration of SWCNTs. To obtain the natural frequency and dynamic respon...

This paper proposes the incremental dependency parsing method based on the context-free grammar with dependency information. In the proposed method, the reachability, which represents the relation between categories, is used. In parallel to the inputting of sentence, the dependency, which is the relation between the modifying word and the modified word, is computed. In the proposed method, the ...

This document defines Multi-Protocol BGP (MP-BGP) procedures that allow BGP speakers to exchange Route Target reachability information. This information can be used to build a route distribution graph in order to limit the propagation of Virtual Private Network (VPN) Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) between different autonomous systems or distinct clusters of the same autonomous sy...

In times when reduction and changes in private car use is on the political agenda in urban areas, there is a need to better understand and forecast the process of change in car use. Traditional conceptualizations of travel choice in equilibrium may be insufficient to this end and need to be complemented. An alternative theoretical framework is therefore proposed based on goal setting and self-r...

the control of car following is essential due to its safety and its operational efficiency. for this purpose, this paper builds a model of car following behavior based on armax structure from a real traffic dataset and design a model predictive control (mpc) system. based on the relative distance and relative acceleration of each instant, the mpc predicts the future behavior of the leader vehic...

Evidences are accumulating that CD4⁺ T cells can physiologically mediate antigen specific target cell lysis. By circumventing major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restrictions through an engineered chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), CD4⁺ T cells lyse defined target cells as efficiently as do CD8⁺ T cells. However, the cytolytic capacity of redirected CD4⁺CD25- T cells, in comparison with CD4⁺CD...
