Scalings of nonlinearity in the edge plasma and its connection to transition thresholds

Nonlinear transfer processes between large-scale edge flows and the ambient broadband fluctuations have been shown to play a significant role in the dynamics of edge turbulence, including spreading power from coherent modes and suppressing turbulence at th ...

Relevance of a complete road surface description in vehicle–bridge interaction dynamics

Pablo Antolin Sanchez

A fully coupled method for reproducing road vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction is presented in which finite element models are used for the structure, multibody dynamics models for the vehicles and interaction is represented by means of a contact with the ...

Taste heterogeneity and latent preferences in the choice behaviour of freight transport operators

Michel Bierlaire

In this paper we show that individual attitudes of road carriers and their latent preferences toward specific freight service attributes do play a role in determining their mode choices. Specifically, we contribute to the empirical literature on freight ag ...

On the distribution of urban road space for multimodal congested networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Nan Zheng

Transport systems in real cities are complex with many modes of transport sharing and competing for limited road space. This work intends to understand how space distributions for modes and interactions among modes affect network traffic performance. While ...

Understanding population displacements on location-based call records using road data

Marcel Salathé, Udayan Kumar

Large population displacements are usually observed after nature disasters. The best approximations to real world population movement in such a short temporal scale are the users' movements patterns derived from the cell phone usage data. However, due to a ...

Flagging and docking: dual roles for N-glycans in protein quality control and cellular proteostasis

Maurizio Molinari

Nascent polypeptides entering the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are covalently modified with pre-assembled oligosaccharides. The terminal glucose and mannose residues are immediately removed after transfer of the oligosaccharide onto newly synthesized polypep ...

Framework for real-time traffic forecasting methodology under exogenous parameters

André-Gilles Dumont, Sofia Samoili

Ensuing from the deteriorating conditions of road networks, traffic forecasting techniques with mathematical and computer-theory methods have been employed to address the real-time prediction of traffic conditions and their dynamic control, with the optimu ...

Micro-fabrication process for small transport devices of layered manganite

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Aleksandra Radenovic, Andras Kis, Arash Alahgholipour Omrani

Devices have been fabricated based on the bilayer manganite La1.4Sr1.6Mn2O7, which in the bulk state orders magnetically below 90 K, at which point both in-plane and c-axis bulk resistivity decrease by 2-3 orders of magnitude. We provide an optimized proce ...
