In high frequency bus service lines, buses often come irregularly at the stops, often in bunches, due to the uncertainty of the passenger demand and behaviors, and the unexpected conditions on the roads. Vehicle holding is a commonly used strategy among a variety of control strategies in transit operation in order to reduce bus bunching and regulate bus headways. This paper investigates a contr...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and stability of the wrap-clipping methods as a reconstructive strategy in the treatment of unclippable cerebral aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty four patients who had undergone wrap-clipping microsurgery were retrospectively reviewed. Type and morphology of the treated aneurysm, utilized technique for wrap-clip procedure, and clinical outcome with angi...

We report a universal strategy for the hierarchical assembly of nanoparticles on various 2D materials, resulting in functional 0/2D nanohybrids holding great promise in catalysis, energy storage, and chemical and biological sensing.

O mundo empresarial é repleto de situações complexas e inovadoras. Diante disso, muitos empresários buscam meios para se adequar às diversas normas impostas pela regulamentação civil comercial. Nesse contexto nasceu a necessidade criação uma empresa, que orientasse desse sequência aos objetivos da firma, como forma proteção dos bens conquistados no decorrer décadas. Para tanto, observando as ne...

Industrial Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (IUASNs) come with intrinsic challenges like long propagation delay, small bandwidth, large energy consumption, three-dimensional deployment, and high deployment and battery replacement cost. Any routing strategy proposed for IUASN must take into account these constraints. The vector based forwarding schemes in literature forward data packets to si...

In this paper, we present a dynamic model modified with emission permit banking and pollution abatement, and investigate the effect of emission permit banking and pollution abatement on the production–inventory strategy of the firm. After introducing emission permit banking and pollution abatement, the cost function consists of the inventory holding and production costs, the cost of investment ...

Network coding is a promising technology that increases the system throughput via reducing the number of transmissions for the packets delivered from the source node to the destination node in the saturated traffic scenario. Nevertheless, some packets can suffer from the metric of end-to-end delay. Since it takes the queuing delay in the intermediate node to wait for other packets to be encoded...
