harm by either a driver or passenger of one vehicle directed against the occupants of another vehicle or pedestrians entail road rage and could potentially lead to involvement in collisions, injuries, and death.1-3 Road rage has also been associated with psychiatric illnesses in both the victims and the perpetrators.4 A previous study reported that the most common type of road rage experience o...

On-chip global interconnections in very deep submicron technology (VDSM) ICs are becoming more sensitive and prone to errors caused by power supply noise, crosstalk noise, delay variations and transient faults. Error correcting codes can be employed in order to provide signal transmission with the necessary data integrity. We compared Dual Rail encoding versus Hamming with respect to power cons...

The bus-based public transport system in developing countries poses serious environmental challenges. This paper explores the environmental performance of buses managed and operated by private companies in Lahore under franchise initiative of Government of Punjab. The empirical evidence shows that buses pollute the air with CO and NOx emissions. The bus-based air pollution is result of obsolete...

The provision of urban public transport in Indonesia is not free of problems. Some of the problems include: an overall lack of capacity, lack of quality and choice, severe traffic congestions and insufficient fund to renew and repair vehicles. Generally, the comfort and quality of the city bus is poor, and many of the vehicles are dilapidated and dirty. Surveys were carried out in the city of Y...

The planning and managing of bus networks as a urban public transport system is a relevant problem. Several proposals focus the planning of new bus networks. In this paper, we focus the speci c task of reallocating buses from di erent lines of a previously planned bus network in case of restrictions, such as vehicle breakdowns and drivers absences. Our proposal uses a fuzzy decision tree, which...

Traffic snarl-up or traffic jam is a common phenomenon in Puri, one of the imperative pilgrimage sites for Hindus as well as a popular tourist destination in India. Traffic congestion inevitably produces traffic noise, in turn annoying the drivers, leading to road rage. Keeping this in mind, the present article has monitored and assessed different noise descriptors in 7 different types of buses...

In this paper we present a comprehensive mathematical analysis of the energy dissipated in deep sub-micron (DSM) buses. The estimation is based on an elaborate bus model that includes all the distributed and lumped parasitic elements that appear as technology scales. The energy drawn from the power supply during the transition of the bus is evaluated in a compact closed form. The notion of acti...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to summarize bladder cancer risk in motor vehicle drivers and railroad workers using meta-analysis techniques. METHODS We retrieved all published results (3 cohort studies and 27 case-control studies) during 1977-2008. We assessed the heterogeneity of the results assuming a fixed-effect model. For cohort studies, the observed and the expected number of case...
