This article deals with the modelling of a road network from a macroscopic point of view. After an introduction explaining how some macroscopic road network models are established, some basic properties of the Aw & Rascle second order model are recalled. A junction model compatible with the Aw & Rascle model is then established and some examples are presented in order to illustrate the plausibi...

In the present study, drilling tests were carried out on Custom 450 stainless steel workpieces. The influences of control factors (cutting speed-Vc, feed rate-f and drill bit geometry-D) drilled holes’ surface roughness (Ra) size adhering workpiece (AW) to was examined. results obtained from designed based Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array analysed using ANOVA grey relational analyses (GRA). There...

INTRODUCTION Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a significant problem. There is currently widespread variability in the methods used for manual muscle testing and handgrip dynamometry (HGD) to diagnose ICU-AW. This study was conducted in two parts. The aims of this study were: to determine the inter-rater reliability and agreement of manual muscle strength testing using both isom...

BACKGROUND Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by fungi belonging to Aspergillus and Penicillium genera. The production of OTA is influenced by environmental conditions and nutritional requirements. The postharvest application of bunches of table grape fruit (TGF), with water activity of 0.8 aw, was highly effective for controlling OTA contamination in vitro and in vivo ...

This paper proposes a new structure of wavelet extreme learning machine i.e. an adaptive wavelet extreme learning machine (AW-ELM) for finger motion recognition using only two EMG channels. The adaptation mechanism is performed by adjusting the wavelet shape based on the input information. The performance of the proposed method is compared to ELM using wavelet (W-ELM0 and sigmoid (Sig-ELM) acti...

Bayes factors have been ooered by Bayesians as alternatives to P-values (or significance probabilities) for testing hypotheses and for quantifying the degree to which observed data support or connict with a hypothesis. Schervish (1996) showed how the interpretation of P-values as measures of support suuers a certain logical aw. In this paper, we show how Bayes factors suuer that same aw. We inv...

We evaluate multiple polylogarithm values at sixth roots of unity up to weight six, i.e. of the form G(a1, . . . , aw; 1) where the indices ai are equal to zero or a sixth root of unity, with a1 6= 1. For w ≤ 6, we construct bases of the linear spaces generated by the real and imaginary parts of G(a1, . . . , aw; 1) and obtain a table for expressing them as linear combinations of the elements o...

Background and Objectives: The quality of cakes made of wheat flour depends on the quantity and quality of its gluten proteins however, these proteins may have side effects for some people, including the patients with celiac, and the only way to cure this disease is to take a lifelong gluten-free diet. Materials and Methods: This research aims to produce gluten- free cake by using rice flour a...
