this paper aims to investigate a new and intricate behavior of immediate follower during the lane change of leader vehicle. accordingly, the mentioned situation is a transient state in car following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car following models for a limited time, which is a complex state including lateral and longitudinal movement simul...

The fractal degree of adsorption on the multi-walled carbon nanotube has been investigated. The fractal-like Langmuir kinetics model has been used to obtain the fractal degree of ion adsorption on multi-walled carbon nanotube. The behavior of the fractal-like kinetics equation was compared with some famous rate equations like Langmuir, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations. It is...

in an earthquake country like iran it is of paramount importance that the structural form be sound. the designer must be able to predict satisfactorily the behavior of the structure in the event of a strong ground motion. in order to be able to make a wise choice, he also should know enough about the consequences of the earthquake damage to the structure and economic factors involved. this pipe...

This paper is concerned with assuring the safety of a swarm of agents (simulated robots). Such behavioral assurance is provided with the physics method called kinetic theory. Kinetic theory formulas are used to predict the macroscopic behavior of a simulated swarm of individually controlled agents. Kinetic theory is also the method for controlling the agents. In particular, the agents behave li...

The role of pro-inflammatory cytokines in psychiatric disorders has been the focus of great research attention in recent years. Paradoxically, the same is not true for anti-inflammatory cytokines. In the present study, we assessed the behavioral profile of animals with altered expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. We performed a battery of tests to assess anxiety, depressive-like ...

We construct the classical dynamical system which has a quantum-like behavior. We have shown that the energy-time uncertainty relation takes place for the system and it has purely classical nature. We investigate the behavior of the system and propose a “classical” explanation of Franck-Hertz experiments.

Cilia and flagella are microtubule-based organelles that protrude from the cell body. Ciliary assembly requires intraflagellar transport (IFT), a motile system that delivers cargo from the cell body to the flagellar tip for assembly. The process controlling injections of IFT proteins into the flagellar compartment is, therefore, crucial to ciliogenesis. Extensive biochemical and genetic analyse...
