A corridor is one of the new classes of airspace introduced with Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). A well-designed corridor may reduce the airspace complexity, increase airspace capacity and decrease controller workload. This paper develops a computer simulation model for constructing risk-capacity tradeoff curves of en-route corridor concepts. Keywords-corridor; simulation, ...

Aims Factors limiting distributions of species are fundamental to ecology and evolution but have rarely been addressed experimentally for multiple species. The conspicuous linear distribution patterns of plant species confined to river corridors in the Central European lowlands constitute an especially long-standing distribution puzzle. We experimentally tested our novel hypothesis that the tol...

A comparison of 4 × 4 multiple-input multiple-output wireless local area network wireless communication characteristics for six different geometrical shapes is investigated. These six shapes include the straight shape corridor with rectangular cross section, the straight shape corridor with arched cross section, the curved shape corridor with rectangular cross section, the curved shape corridor...

In 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was announced in Astana. It expected to connect as New Silk producing East consuming West. line with this, Kazakhstan introduced a major infrastructure program called “NurlyZhol” improve logistic corridor. Now, after almost 10 years its announcement it is worth seeing whether country benefited from programs expectations set up ago came true. Besides l...

From October 1996 through September 1998, we used bottom-mounted hydrophone arrays to monitor deep-water areas north and west of the British Isles for songs of humpback whales (Megupteru novaeangliae). Singing humpbacks were consistently detected between October and March from the Shetland-Faroe Islands south to waters west of the English Channel. Temporal and geographic patterns of song detect...

Rabies is an important public health concern in North America because of recent epidemics of a rabies virus variant associated with raccoons. The costs associated with surveillance, diagnostic testing, and post-exposure treatment of humans exposed to rabies have fostered coordinated efforts to control rabies spread by distributing an oral rabies vaccine to wild raccoons. Authorities have tried ...

It is widely recognised that delta-hedged positions in options can be used to trade volatility. To facilitate volatility trading for their clients, several institutions routinely offer variance swaps. A variance swap is a financial contract that upon expiry pays the difference between a standard historical estimate of daily return variance and a fixed rate determined at inception. As in any swa...
