The jam flow condition is one of the main traffic states in traffic flow theory and the most difficult state for sectional traffic information acquisition. Since traffic information acquisition is the basis for the application of an intelligent transportation system, research on traffic vehicle counting methods for the jam flow conditions has been worthwhile. A low-cost and energy-efficient typ...

A number of computational applications lack instruction-level parallelism. This loss is particularly acute on sequences of dependent instructions on wide-issue or deeply pipelined architectures. We consider four real applications from computational biology, cryptanalysis, and data compression. These applications are characterized by long sequences of dependent instructions, irregular control-fl...

In this study, proton-sponge coated quantum dots were prepared by using amphipol PMAL, grafted with polyethylenimine (PEI) as an encapsulation polymer. The QD-PMAL-PEI nanoparticles showed low cytotoxicity and superior gene silencing efficiency in serum-containing medium against junctional adhesion molecule-2 (JAM-2), which is over-expressed in glioma cells. Confocal microscopic analysis showed...

We study a system of interacting self-propelled particles whose walking velocity depends on the stage of the locomotion cycle. The model introduces a phase equation in the optimal velocity model for vehicular traffic. We find that the system exhibits novel types of flow: synchronized free flow, phase-anchoring free flow, orderly jam flow, and disordered jam flow. The first two flows are charact...

The lower reach of the Red River between Winnipeg and Lake Winnipeg is very prone to ice jam flooding. The onedimensional ice jam model RIVICE was implemented for this reach to better understand the processes leading to such events and to provide a tool to evaluate strategies for ice jam mitigation. The most downstream portion of this river stretch flows through a delta and marsh system which p...

An experimental remote jazz jam session with uncompressed HDTV over the Internet was conducted on September 21st as a Grand Final event of the Aichi Exposition 2005. Professional jazz musicians located at the venue of Aichi Exposition and at SARA in Amsterdam have made the jazz jam session with new mechanisms called as “Internet Metronome” and “delay-control unit” using an international “lightp...

The field of Intelligent Transportation Systems has lately raised increasing interest due to it high socio-economic impact. This work aims on developing efficient techniques for traffic congestion prediction and visualisation. We have designed a simple, yet effective and scalable model to handle sparse data from GPS observations and reduce the problem of congestion prediction to a binary classi...

NAVSYS has developed a miniaturized GPS antenna array technology that reduces the size of the antenna elements and the array dimensions. This technology enables GPS controlled reception pattern antenna arrays (CRPAs) with anti-jamming capability to be installed on vehicles where their size has previously prohibited their use. This includes aircraft where size and weight constraints resulted in ...
