BACKGROUND Big data is steadily growing in epidemiology. We explored the performances of methods dedicated to big data analysis for detecting independent associations between exposures and a health outcome. METHODS We searched for associations between 303 covariates and influenza infection in 498 subjects (14% infected) sampled from a dedicated cohort. Independent associations were detected u...

This paper describes the network shapes and operating characteristics that allow a transit system to deliver a level of service competitive with that of the automobile. To provide exhaustive results for service regions of different sizes and demographics, the paper idealizes these regions as squares, and their possible networks with a broad and realistic family that combines the grid and the hu...

Increased urbanization implicated in the form of increased vehicles on roads which burdened limited resources and caused environmental deterioration. To reduce these effects, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system was considered right solution, requiring minimal infrastructure, as compared to other mass transit options, yet demanding great expertise. This research analyses BRT systems four cities Pak...

The bus system in a high-speed public transportation systems are equipped with modern technology that due to accuracy, speed and flexibility have been considered as one of the improvement solutions in Tehran's public transport system. In this article the performance of BRT line three of Tehran has been evaluated based on the established standard in 2013, developed by the Institute for Developme...

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan potensi pendapatan dan penurunan lalu lintas kendaraan pribadi saat Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) beroperasi di Balikpapan. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian adalah dengan menggunakan data hasil survey responden tentang kesediaan pengguna mobil motor BRT variabel tarif waktu tunggu halte atau terminal. Penurunan didapatkan dari volume eksisting dikurangi...

Skeletal muscle beta-tropomyosin, smooth muscle alpha-tropomyosin, and a low molecular weight fibroblast tropomyosin are generated by alternatively splicing RNA transcripts of the chicken tropomyosin 1 (TM 1) gene (Forry-Schaudies, S., Maihle, N. J., and Hughes, S. H. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 211; 321-330). Two novel tropomyosin cDNAs that derive from mRNAs of the TM 1 gene have been isolated from ...

While Transit Oriented Development (TOD) has almost exclusively concerned rail based modes there has been a recent interest in bus related TOD with an emphasis on new bus rapid transit (BRT) developments in North/ South America and Australia. This paper takes a critical look at the strengths and weakness of bus based transit systems in relation to TOD through a review of the literature and an a...

biogeneric reference technique (brt) of the cerec 3d v.3.8 software is an effective technique for single anterior ceramic crowns because it provides computer-controlled match of the tooth form to the contralateral tooth. brt also enables the fabrication of two or more anterior all-ceramic crowns simultaneously. this clinical report demonstrates the clinical application of brt for designing and ...

We propose to use machine learning (ML) algorithms to design a simplified denitrification model. Boosted regression trees (BRT) and artificial neural networks (ANN) were used to analyse the relationships and the relative influences of different input variables towards total denitrification, and an ANN was designed as a simplified model to simulate total nitrogen emissions from the denitrificati...

With little investment required for operating in streets, bus services are often designed to serve many overlapping routes with frequent stops. To upgrade services and attract choice riders, major bus routes should be provided with exclusive lanes, preferential signals, and fewer but more distinct stops. The Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) program is aimed at upgr...
