Sharing vehicles and rides may become the norm with public use of fully-automated self-driving in near future, assuming pandemic-related health concerns fade. Dynamic ride-sharing (DRS) or ride-pooling trips can significantly improve system performance by lowering empty vehicle-miles traveled (eVMT) increasing average vehicle occupancy (AVO). With several cities looking to promote efficient cur...

Equatorial/axial conversion in piperidine and phosphorinane with different substituents wereinvestigated with great details. Three possible routes, i.e. heteroatom inversion and two ring inversiontype were considered. Ring conversion can occur via two pathways one starts with ring flatteningfrom the heteroatom site (nitrogen in piperidine and phosphorous in phosphorinane) and the otherinitiates...

Fluid substitution is an important part of the seismic rock physics analysis (e.g., AVO, 4D analysis), which provides a tool for fluid identification and quantification in reservoir. This is commonly performed using Gassmann’s equation (Gassmann, 1951). Many authors (Batzle and Wang, 1992; Berryman, 1999; Wang, 2001; Smith et al., 2003; Russell et al., 2003; Han and Batzle, 2004) have discussed...

the application of energy absorbing systems in the structures are one of the main methods in attenuation of earthquake effects. in this paper, the vibration control of structures by using of tube inversion systems is considered. in this novel system, the energy is dissipated by the inversion of a metal tube. this energy dissipater has large energy absorbing capacity along with constant stiffnes...

this paper presents results of applying a new approach on 2d inversion of magnetotelluric (mt) data in order to enhance resolution and stability of the inversion results. due to non-linearity and limited coverage of data acquisition in an mt field campaign, minimizing the error by linearization of the problem in least squares inversion usually leads to an ill-posed problem. in general, an inver...

invert sugar is the result of sucrose of hydrolysis of sucrose by acid or enzyme, that is, the splitting of sucrose molecules into their glucose and fructose components.invert sugar is used in different industries such as; food industry, soft drinks and pharmaceutical, due to its special characteristics such as; sweetness level, moisture ability’s property, crystallization level and special tas...
