Traffic simulation models have been increasingly utilized for the evaluation of traffic control systems and the prediction of future traffic conditions. Recent enhancements in computational capability have led to the development of high fidelity microscopic simulation models and this has accelerated their application in traffic engineering and, increasingly, in transportation planning. Microsco...

Gambling using electronic gaming machines has emerged as a significant public health issue. While social impact assessments are required prior to the granting of new gaming licenses in Australia, there are few established techniques for estimating the spatial distribution of a venue’s clientele. To this end, we calibrated a Huff model of gambling venue catchments based on a geocoded postal surv...

Dynamic calibration is one of the important ways to acquire the dynamic performance parameters of a pressure sensor. This research focuses on the processing method for the output of calibrated pressure sensor, and mainly attempts to solve the problem of extracting the true information of step response under strong interference noise. A dynamic calibration system based on a shock tube is establi...

Methods A discrete time individual-based stochastic model was built and calibrated on the number of crosstransmissions obtained through prospective surveillance. Most of the input parameters were derived from locally-acquired data. After model fitting and sensitivity analysis, several screening and isolation policies were tested by simulating the number of crosstransmissions and isolation-days ...

This letter presents a new transmission line method for measuring the complex permittivity of dielectric materials using propagation constant measurements. In contrast to previous methods, a network analyzer calibration is unnecessary since calibrated scattering parameters are not required. We use measurements in X-band waveguide to show that this technique compares well with the transmission/r...

Fromherz and Voelker make incorrect assumptions about our experiments that raise serious questions about the validity of their claims. We show that our calibrated signals are consistent with previously published data and a general model with biophysically relevant parameters. Additionally, the wide variation in previously published signal amplitudes suggests caution in applying and drawing conc...

This paper presents a modeling approach for three-dimensional simulation of hydraulic fracturing of jointed rock. Dynardo developed a 3D-hydraulic fracturing simulator and coupled the simulator with leading edge calibration and optimization algorithms to offers the software base to optimize gas production with computer simulation. With the integrated approach, an effective 3D numerical reservoi...
