Abstract Solving the road congestion problem is one of most pressing issues in modern cities since it causes time wasting, pollution, higher industrial costs and huge maintenance costs. Advances ITS technologies advent autonomous vehicles are changing mobility dramatically. They enable implementation a coordination mechanism, called coordinated traffic assignment, among sat-nav devices aiming a...

In this paper we study the on and off-equilibrium properties of the four dimensional Gaussian spin glass. In the static case we determine with more precision that in previous simulations both the critical temperature as well as the critical exponent. In the off-equilibrium case we settle the general form of the autocorrelation function, and show that is possible to obtain dynamically, for the f...

In the present work, we performed a discrimination analysis of the nonlinear equations used to describe sorption isotherms of the lettuce seeds. The equilibrium data were obtained by the static method using saturated salt solutions. The best model to describe the equilibrium moisture of lettuce seeds was selected using measures of curvature and bias. The obtained results showed that the Copace ...

In this paper we study the on and off-equilibrium properties of the four dimensional Gaussian spin glass. In the static case we determine the critical temperature and the critical exponents with more precision that in previous simulations. In the off-equilibrium case we settle the general form of the autocorrelation function, and show, for the first time, that is possible to obtain, dynamically...

This article reviews the concepts and methods of transition path sampling. These methods allow computational studies of rare events without requiring prior knowledge of mechanisms, reaction coordinates, and transition states. Based upon a statistical mechanics of trajectory space, they provide a perspective with which time dependent phenomena, even for systems driven far from equilibrium, can b...

This paper examines the incentives to exercise market power that generators would face and the different strategies that they would follow if all electricity supplies in Chile were traded in an hourly-unregulated spot market. The industry is modeled as a Cournot duopoly with a competitive fringe; particular care is given to the hydro scheduling decision. Quantitative simulations of the strategi...

We simulate one-dimensional competitive reversible binding of many diffusing particles to a single, saturable, static site. The particles are initially randomly distributed, and either one or none is initially bound to the site. The time dependence of the binding probability (site occupancy) is compared with an approximation involving singleparticle diffusion with a nonlinear, locally bimolecul...
