– The dynamics of a particle in a symmetric periodic potential under the influence of a time-periodic field is characterized by a mixed phase space with regular and chaotic components. An additional external dc bias transforms the chaotic manifold into a domain with unbounded acceleration. We study the stationary transport which originates from the persisting invariant manifolds (regular island...

Transport hubs such as airports, railway stations play an important role in the transportation system and urban development. These terminals absorb and reflect huge amounts of traffic flows from/to the road network and have considerable social and economic impacts of the surrounding regions. Understanding the traffic flows of the transport hubs helps traffic engineers and policy makers to bette...

In this paper, we revisit the forward, backward and bidirectional Bahl-Cocke-Jelinek-Raviv (BCJR) soft-input soft-output (SISO) maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) decoding process of rate-1 binary convolutional codes. From this we establish some interesting explicit relationships between encoding and decoding of rate-1 convolutional codes. We observe that the forward and backward BCJR SISO ...

The age of stratospheric air is computed with a trajectory model, using ECMWF ERA-40 3D-Var and operational 4D-Var winds. Analysis as well as forecast data are used. In the latter case successive forecast segments are put together to get a time series of the wind fields. This is done for different forecast segment lengths. The sensitivity of the computed age to the forecast segment length and a...
