A new model for controlling traffic in urban has been proposed. The main aim is to use the system to maximize the network throughput and use its signals to meet the changing traffic demand. It is modeled as a Discrete Event System (DES).It has sensors, observers and a controller. These models support the off-line planning of vehicles, traffic lights setting and road networks. It has signals that detect the arrival and departure of vehicles. The controller controls how the vehicles arrive and depart.

The model also represents behavioral conflicts. Two vehicles may attempt to occupy the same zone. In ...

VALS lifestyle profiles

After taking the survey, I found my primary lifestyle profile is an experiencer. An experience is an individual with high energy levels and takes on into a new challenge with vigor. Additionally, I am motivated by the need to express myself. As such and experiencer consuming patterns are impulsive with the need to possess a product appearing as soon as they identify it, and without prior consideration of its purchase. This habit is explained by their need to quench rapidly their curiosity of the product in question, and to satisfy their experimental nature.

All roads lead to Rome is a common idiom used to mean that the same goal can be arrived at using different routes. But the history of this saying has a lot of significance to physics in terms of vectors, scalars, displacement and distance. Rome was the heart of activity during the times of the Roman Empire. Every road in the empire would either directly lead to Rome or link to a major road leading to Rome. Putting this into the physics perspective, vectors, scalars, displacements and distance are measurements that have a starting point and an endpoint.

A vector has both direction ...

- What does Becker suggest about human reality when he claims that “he must at all times defend the utter fragility of his delicately constituted fiction, deny its artificiality” (34)?

Becker has taken a critical study of human reality and came to a conclusion that that is not only fragile but also unpredictable. In as much as man needs to plan for his future, he should not do it at the expense of today. The fact remains that some of the plans that a man makes may turn out to be vanity especially when death strikes or his hard work ...

Recent Airline Incident

Major airline incidences are overly hard to come across even though minor incidences, though also not an order of the day, happen sporadically. For instance this week on Tuesday, a Xian MA60 plane developed a mechanical problem while trying to land at China’s Zhengzhou-Xinzheng International Airport (Aviation Safety Network, 2014). No fatality was recorded to this plane that was carrying 37 passengers and seven crew members. Even though no report is out about the cause of the incident, it is reported that the undercarriage of the plane retracted leading to the nose of the plane touching the runway (Aviation Safety ...

Need for a passenger railroad

There is a need for an inclusive passenger railroad in the US. This need is grounded on the need for a very high speed rail system. A passenger railroad will be required to accommodate the need for intercity transportation within the US. In addition, the need for urban transportation will be accommodated by the passenger railroad. The transit centers in the US will be crowded, hence the need for a passenger railroad (McMahon, 2012). Other transport modes such as highways and aviation are constrained in capacity, and they are starved of capital. Therefore, with expected business and population growth, there will be a ...

What is the chemical formula for ozone gas?

Ozone is present in the troposphere, a part of the atmosphere. Ozone consist of 3 molecules of Oxygen. The chemical formula for ozone is O3. Ozone is also called as tri-oxygen since it consists of 3 molecules of oxygen bound to each other by covalent bonds. The structure and formula of ozone were identified in the year 1865. However, it is less stable than Oxygen and blue in color.

- Trade intensity can be described as the ratio of household fares to the income from assembling and then multiplied by one hundred. This implies that an industry with more household fares also has a high proportion of assembling incomes. Trade intensity is calculated by dividing the domestic exports by the revenue from manufacturing. The trade intensity for Canada was at 46.02%. This implies that a significant amount of the manufacturing products traded in the country are from industries based in foreign countries. When all commercial ventures are included, the trade intensity for Canada was 46%. This also implies that a significant ...

Probably the main peculiarity of the warrantless vehicle searches cases is that the question of the existence of the probable cause is left to the discretion of the law enforcement officers. Police officers make their decisions on the basis of the information that is presented to them, and only they are in power to decide whether that information is trustworthy and reliable enough to constitute a probable cause for the arrest or search.

According to Bryant Thomson, priming is a process that occurs when one’s exposure to mediated communication activates some related thoughts that were previously stored in his or her mind. Messages passed through the media, for example in terms of adverts often trigger thoughts, concepts, learning or even knowledge that has been leant in the past and that is related to the message content. This process is what constitutes “priming” and in addition to just activating related thoughts and concepts, it can also influence behavior. This paper seeks to explore this concept by using an example of a media advert ...

An EMS controls the vehicle engine in response to both vehicle and engine inputs. It consists of an electronic control unit composed of a micro-processor with several electromechanical and electronic actuators and sensors. Sensor devices are used to monitor the vehicle engine and detect engine speed, lambda values, crank angle and other engine parameters. The electronic control unit determines the engine ignition time, the quantity of fuel and other engine parameters that keep the vehicle engine running. The ECU does this by use of input values that are calculated based on the inputs that originate from the sensors. Under this ...

Cell membranes act as hindrances to most, not all, molecules. Advancement of a cell layer that could permit a few materials to pass while obliging the movement of different molecules was a significant venture in the evolution of the unit. Unit membranes are differentially (or semi-) penetrable obstructions dividing the internal cell environment from the external cell (or) nature's domain.

Water potential is the inclination of water to move from a zone of higher focus to one of easier fixation. Energy exists in two structures: potential and kinetic. Water molecules move consistent with contrasts in potential energy between where they are and ...
