An enhanced Finite Element (FE) model of the human Knee-Thigh-Hip (KTH) is presented as a reliable mean for prediction of bone failure mechanism for a frontal knee impact. Improvements made to the original model are reported. The model is validated against a cadaver sled test. An identical finite element impact event was replicated with use of the LSTC dummy. The main terms of comparison were t...

An overview is provided of the current state of the art in Diesel spray prediction. The modelling of the key physical processes is discussed and the impact on prediction accuracy is illustrated by way of examples. The overall conclusions are that comprehensive methodology of useful accuracy now exists; but further theoretical and experimental research is needed, especially in respect of atomisa...

Short-term travel time prediction is very important to the real time travelers’ information and route guidance system. Various methodologies have been developed for dynamic travel time prediction. However, most of the existing studies presume that path travel time is the simple addition of travel times on the consisting links. Through simulation, it is shown that, under recurrent traffic condit...

The results of recent studies on prediction markets are encouraging. Prior experience demonstrates that markets with different incentive schemes predicted uncertain future events at a remarkable accuracy. In this paper, we study the impact of different monetary incentives on the prediction accuracy in a field experiment. In order to do so, we compare three groups of users, corresponding to thre...

The ability to predict hazards in possible situations in a general X-ray examination room created for Kiken-Yochi training (KYT) is quantified by use of free-response receiver-operating characteristics (FROC) analysis for determining whether the total number of years of clinical experience, involvement in general X-ray examinations, occupation, and training each have an impact on the hazard pre...
