For sustainability and energy saving, the problem to optimize the control of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems has attracted great attentions, but analyzing the signatures of thermal environments and HVAC systems and the evaluation of the optimization policies has encountered inefficiency and inconvenient problems due to the lack of public dataset. In this paper, we pres...

Air travel, especially long distance, expose passengers a number of factors that may cause them both physiological and psychological discomfort and even stress. In-flight entertainment system is commonly installed on the long-haul aircraft to improve the passenger’s satisfaction level. However, the current installed and commercially available in-flight entertainment systems do not fully explore...

This paper uses both world-wide and country-level analysis to describe the relationship between air transportation and economic activity. In particular, we describe how economic, infrastructural, institutional and geographic factors affect the mapping of cargo and passenger flows to the enabled flows of labor, knowledge, investment, remittances, tourism and goods. We also identify the role of g...

introduction public transportation system is the perfect solution to organize transportation in the city. this system reduces the demand for private car or taxi area provides economic savings. public transport will not only reduce the use of private vehicles, but it will reduce traffic and air pollution. the public transportation system of buses to be extremist as one of the most efficient publ...

Not to be confused with... CENP-E, chromokinesin, Polo kinase... A number of proteins are localised a bit like chromosomal passengers. However these proteins occupy slightly different locations on the chromosomes: the kinetochore for CENP-E and Polo; all along the chromosome arms for chromokinesin. Some of these proteins may interact functionally or physically with the passenger proteins. Stran...

BACKGROUND The objective was to register and analyze data from all passenger injuries reported to the medical centre of a cruise ship with a median passenger load of 719 per day during a three-year period, and to determine high risk areas, equipment, and behaviour. METHODS All reported passenger injuries were registered at first visit. An injury was 'serious' if it led to hospitalization asho...

Introduction: Since the 1950s, air travel has grown exponentially. In 2018, the number of international air passengers was estimated at 4.1 billion. Air travel exposes the passenger to a number of constraints (like physical constraints, stress) that can be correlated and lead to an inflight medical event, especially for passengers with chronic conditions or fragile health.<br /...

P olicy measures, including legislation, are one method of promoting health. Participation in many voluntary health promoting behaviours is strongly socioeconomically patterned, and this may also apply to behaviours governed by legislation. Rear passenger seat belt use is one legally prescribed behaviour—having been made compulsory in the UK in 1991. Previous research on the socioeconomic distr...

The analysis of evacuation processes onboard passenger ships has attracted increasing interest over the last years. Cellular automaton models, widely used for traffic simulations, provide a natural approach towards pedestrian dynamics. Two major difficulties are intrinsical to the problem: two-dimensional movement of pedestrians and the complexity of psychological and social influences. An impr...

Hyperloop is a new mode of transportation proposed as an alternative to California’s high speed rail project, with the intended benefits of higher performance at lower overall costs. It consists of a passenger pod traveling through a tube under a light vacuum and suspended on air bearings. The pod travels up to transonic speeds resulting in a 35 minute travel time between the intended route fro...
