Seit über 50 Jahren beschäftigt sich die Wissenschaft ernsthaft mit dem Thema ”Stau”. Ob Fahrzeuge, Menschen, Tiere oder Mikroben, überall wo sich viele ähnliche Objekte zur selben Zeit am selben Ort in dieselbe Richtung bewegen wollen, tritt er auf. Oft ohne erkennbaren Grund und plötzlich (”Stau aus dem Nichts”). In der Zwischenzeit sind manche Rätsel geklärt, einiges aber bleibt auch weiterh...

Annually, more than 1 million people were killed in road traffic accidents worldwide every year and an uncounted number were severe injured. In 2012 fatal injuries caused by road traffic accidents are under the top ten lists of causes of death in the world. It´s expected that in the near future road traffic accidents become one of the main causes of death in the world. Most of these fatal injur...

information on the productivity, costs and applications of the logging system is a key component in the evaluation of management plans for the rehabilitation and utilization of caspian forests. skidding and road construction costs are expensive forest operations. determining the optimum forest road network density is one of the most important factors in sustainable forest management. logging me...

road traffic injuries are known as the most prevalent childhood injury and besides being the greatest cause of child mortality, place an extraordinary burden on health care system. children’s limitation in cognitive, physical and social development makes them more vulnerable in road traffic injuries than adults. their small structure cause challenges to see and be seen and their risk taking beh...

Introduction: Sleepiness may predispose drivers to road traffic accidents. Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome is the most common medical cause of sleepiness. Hence increased neck circumference (NC) and obesity are known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome risk factors. This study was conducted to assess OSAS role in occurrence of road traffic accidents in sleeping drivers of commercial heavy veh...

The presented system takes the advantage of information-communication technology, ICT and introduces wireless networks’ methodology into vehicles and road infrastructure for a significant enhancement of road traffic safety. Warning signals are transmitted to the back of column of vehicles and it enables the distant drivers to stop in time or to make such operation automatically. Largescale simu...

Behcet’s disease (BD) has a worldwide prevalence which ranges between 0.1/1000 and 1/10,000 with a significant presence in Asian countries from the Mediterranean to Japan, hence the term Silk Road Disease [2]. Turkey has reported the highest prevalence ranging from 80 to 420/100,000. However, there are few reported cases in Africa, North Europe and America [3,4]. Males in western Asia are commo...
