The function of a metro station area is vital for city planners to consider when establishing a context-aware Transit-Oriented Development policy around the station area. However, the functions of metro station areas are hard to infer using the static land use distribution and other traditional survey datasets. In this paper, we propose a method to infer the functions occurring around the metro...

How to reduce the energy consumption of metro trains by optimizing both the timetable and control strategy is a major focus. Due to the complexity and difficulty of the combinatorial operation problem, the commonly-used method to optimize the train operation problem is based on an unchanged dwelling time for all trains at a specific station. Here, we develop a simulation-based method to design ...

Oral metronomic chemotherapy may target tumor cells indirectly via antiangiogenic activity, restoration of anticancer immune response, or induction of tumor dormancy. We initiated the single-center, randomized, open-label, phase II study to determine whether the addition of metronomic cyclophosphamide to docetaxel (T) (w/o trastuzumab) improves overall response rate (ORR) as first-line treatmen...

When metro systems need to be temporarily closed due an unexpected disruption, the operators have arrange shuttle buses as alternative transport for trains, while passengers find new routes complete their journeys. However, additional bus lines might redundant if well-known phenomenon of “Braesss Paradox” exists. To address this issue, paper proposes a bi-level programming model in which object...

This paper develops and applies a method for producing constant quality rent indexes and inflation estimates for different segments of the rental housing stock. In each of the five contrasting metropolitan areas, rent inflation since the late 1980s is found to have varied by market segment. In some metro areas, rental prices have risen most rapidly in the bottom third of the rent distribution, ...
