Transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steels have a vast application in automotive industry because of theirhigh strength, high ductility and hence excellent energy absorption capacity. These characteristics of TRIPsteels are due to the existence of retained austenite in their microstructures in the ambient temperature, whichtransforms to the martensite phase during deforma...

BACKGROUND Falls are a significant source of morbidity and mortality in older adults, with up to 53% of these falls due to tripping. To aid in preventing trip-related falls, the factors that increase an individual's risk of falling following a trip must be identified. This study investigated whether an older adult's gait influences their risk of failing following a trip. METHODS Trips were in...

Next-generation transportation surveys will utilize Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to collect trip data. Due to their ubiquity, GPS-enabled mobile devices are becoming promising for use as survey tools. TRAC-IT is a mobile phone application that records travel behavior by collecting real-time GPS data and requiring minimal input from the user for data such as trip purpose, mode of transportat...

Design/ method/ approach- undertakes an examination based primary data collected from 402 foreign tourists visiting Kerala for medical treatment questionnaire. (SEM) Smart PLS 3.0 develop...

The soak-time of vehicle trip starts is defined as the duration of time in which the vehicle’s engine is not operating and that precedes a successful vehicle start. The temporal distribution of the soak-time in an area is an important determinant of area-wide mobile source emissions. In the current paper, we formulate and implement a methodology for modeling soak-time durations. The methodology...

Paratransit plays an important role in the urban passenger transportation system in the developing countries. Three cities viz. Imphal East, Imphal West and Silchar in India have been undertaken for the study. Household survey and traffic survey have been employed to collect data for the paratransit users. Modelling techniques and tools also have been used to forecast the utility of paratransit...

BACKGROUND Myofibroblasts are the critical effector cells in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis which carries a high degree of morbidity and mortality. We have previously identified Type II TGFβ receptor interacting protein 1 (TRIP-1), through proteomic analysis, as a key regulator of collagen contraction in primary human lung fibroblasts--a functional characteristic of myofibroblasts, and ...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract This paper presents an attempt of simulating daily fluctuations of river discharge at global scale. Total Runoff Integrating Pathways (TRIP) is a global river routing model which can help to isolate the river basins, inter-basin transport ...

Marriott InternationalTM needed a single accepted metric of leisure travel as a component of total business that allowed for nuanced measures and the analysis of the impact of specific marketing campaigns. The Marriott Rewards Customer Knowledge team created a predictive model that estimated the likelihood that a stay was for business. The results of this model will be used both in enterprise-w...
