Traffic simulation represents an effective tool for evaluating the suggested alternatives to enhance traffic conditions prior to their application in real sites. U-turn sections represent examples of the complicated sections that cannot be analyzed properly without applying microsimulation approach.  Recently, in Iraq, speed humps were applied in prior to the merging locations and U-turn sectio...

In conversation, speakers become more like each other in various dimensions. This phenomenon, commonly called entrainment, coordination, or alignment, is widely believed to be crucial to the success and naturalness of human interactions. We investigate entrainment in four acoustic and prosodic dimensions. We explore whether speakers coordinate with each other in these dimensions over the conver...

The more progress that has been made in endoscopy, the more superficial cancers have been found in the head and neck regions [1–4]. There are, however, some areas that are difficult to observe on transoral esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). In particular, only a tangential view of the radix linguae is obtained with transoral EGD. In this report, we present the procedure for an intraoropharyngeal...
