Abstract Cold regions and snowing weather are widely distributed in Global, which caused a series of problems road safety, such as icy surfaces roads, frozen-thaw Circle damage, traffic jams. This research aims to improve the energy-efficient electric heating snow-melting tubes for solving snowy pavement urban roads. Numerical simulation in-situ testing experiments is used while temperature fie...

Providing a suitable and efficient representation of a driver’s perspective is a way to reduce traffic accidents. In this paper, we first introduce a driver-centered AR (augmented-reality) HUD (head-up-display) system that superimposes augmented virtual objects onto a real scene under all types of driving situations including unfavorable weather (such as rainy, foggy, overcast, and snowy) condi...

This paper describes the decentralized longitudinal control of a ten-vehicle platoon. An adapted time-headway distance approach is adopted, i.e., that each vehicle has to respect a “time-to-contact” with its preceding vehicle. The adaptation is made relatively to the vehicle dynamics and the road conditions. A twolevel longitudinal controller is developed using the Linear Quadratic Regulor (LQR...

Newly observed mechanisms for viral entry, assembly, and exit are challenging our current understanding of the replication cycle of different viruses. To address and better understand these mechanisms, a Keystone Symposium was organized in the snowy mountains of Colorado ("The Ins and Outs of Viral Infection: Entry, Assembly, Exit, and Spread"; 30 March-4 April 2014, Beaver Run Resort, Breckenr...

We report the death of 30 wild Barbary macaques, living in two groups, during an exceptionally cold and snowy winter in the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco. We examined whether an individual's time spent feeding, the quality and number of its social relationships, sex and rank predicted whether it survived the winter or not. The time an individual spent feeding and the number of social relation...

by Jyotsna Osta This thesis is a detailed presentation of a precision measurement of the mass of the W boson. It has been obtained by analyzing W → eν decays. The data used for this analysis was collected from 2002 to 2006 with the DØ detector, during Run IIa of the Fermilab Tevatron collider. It corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 1 fb−1. With a sample of 499,830 W → eν candidate e...

We have implemented a weather forecasting system, WINDOM, which uses memorybased reasoning. The observation data from Japan Meteorological Agency's networks were used directly as input data and the system was used to predict the weather. We used 5 categories such as clear, clouded, rainy, snowy, stormy, or 2 categories such as rainy or not rainy, to describe Tokyo 6 hours ahead. Two weighting m...

The present paper attempts to compare and analyze two marvelous poems of all time, ‘Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, on Revisiting the Banks Wye during Tour, July 13, 1798’ ‘Stopping by Woods Snowy Evening’ composed highly philosophical poets William Wordsworth, who was stalwart in galaxy Romantic poetry most celebrated American poet 20th century, Robert Frost. comparison has been...
