Background: Normal children understand and use embodiment metaphorical expressions since they start learning a language, but children suffering from William’s syndrome even in adulthood have little understanding of such expressions and they can hardly use them. Objectives: This study is an attempt to teach embodiment metaphorical expressions of 4.5-5 year old Persian children suffering...

69 INTRODUCTION The success of operating a drive-thru facility depends on queues and waiting times experienced by customers. Drivethru facilities are required to provide queuing areas that can hold the expected maximum queue length. Rates of arrivals and service times affect the required queuing areas for drive-thru facilities. Gattis recommended queuing areas for drive-thru facilities located ...

We give a general proof-theoretic method for proving Craig interpolation for displayable logics, based on an analysis of the individual proof rules of their display calculi. Using this uniform method, we prove interpolation for a spectrum of display calculi differing in their structural rules, including those for multiplicative linear logic, multiplicative additive linear logic and ordinary cla...

Lane detection and tracking is one of the key features of advanced driver assistance system. Lane detection is finding the white markings on a dark road. Lane tracking use the previously detected lane markers and adjusts itself according to the motion model. In this paper, review of lane detection and tracking algorithms developed in the last decade is discussed. Several modalities are consider...

Driving an automobile autonomously on rural roads requires knowledge about the geometry of the road. Furthermore, knowledge about the meaning of each lane of the road is needed in order to decide which lane should be taken and if the vehicle can do a lane change. This paper addresses the problem of extracting additional information about lanes. The information is extracted from the types of roa...

The behaviors of heavy vehicles drivers in mandatory and discretionary lane changes are analyzed in this paper. 640 mandatory and 2,035 discretionary lane change events were extracted from a naturalistic driving database. Variations in gap acceptance and lane change duration were investigated. Statistical analysis showed that mandatory lane changes are more aggressive in gap acceptance and lane...
