BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several studies have shown that hyperinsulinemia is associated with the risk of coronary heart disease, but information on the association of hyperinsulinemia with the risk of stroke is limited. We investigated the association of hyperinsulinemia with the risk of stroke during a 22-year follow-up of the Helsinki Policemen Study population. METHODS The study was based on...

Traffic conditions vary over time, and therefore, traffic behavior should be modeled as a stochastic process. In this study, a probabilistic approach utilizing Autocorrelation is proposed to model the stochastic variation of traffic conditions, and subsequently, predict the traffic conditions. Using autocorrelation of the time series samples of density and flow which are collected from segments...

abstract: gridlock is an extreme traffic state where vehicle cannot move at all. this research studies the development of gridlock by theoretical and numerical analysis. it is shown that the development of gridlock can be divided into several stages. the core of the development is the evolution of congestion loop. a congestion loop is comprised of a number of consecutively connected spillover l...

ground skidding on skid trails affects the physical properties of soil. the objective of this study was to evaluate changes in soil physical properties on skid trails formed due to traffic of metal-tracked skidders with regard to soil bulk density, total porosity, water content and penetration resistance. the studies were implemented on two levels of slope – 20% (sc2) – and three levels of traf...

Nowadays the active traffic management is enabled for better performance due to the nature of the real-time large data in transportation system. With the advancement of large data, monitoring and improving the traffic safety transformed into necessity in the form of actively and appropriately. Per-formance efficiency and traffic safety are considered as an im-portant element in measuring the pe...
