An autonomous vehicle simulation study : the misunderstood impact of a night driving environment on takeover performance by Lee, Lennell

“…Moreover, results also show that when facing a person hazard, participants had a significantly higher collision rate and different takeover quality as compared to facing a car hazard. This suggested that drivers showed worse takeover performance in the night driving environment or when facing person hazards.…”

Protein engineering using asparaginyl peptide ligases by Wang, Zhen

“…This expanded substrate scope is explored to engineer multi-functional proteins, including bi-specific protein engagers capable of mediating the killing of cancer cells by Car-NK cells. Finally, I report the design of an auto-processing mechanism of a C-terminal Cys-Asn dipeptide for traceless protein ligation by combining PAL ligation with native chemical ligation or subtiligation. …”

Behaviour of motorists during changeover of rates of the electronic road pricing system by Tan, Kelvin Yik Keong

“…The project also found that the hourly profile of motorcyclists entering the Restricted Zone displayed a notably different trend from that of cars, and that motorcyclists appear to be more price-sensitive as compared to car owners. …”

Highlights from Faraday Discussion 172: Carbon in electrochemistry, Sheffield, UK, July 2014 by Dyatkin, B, Ash, PA, Sharma, S

“…Traditionally, Faraday Discussions have been very true to their name, focussing genuinely on healthy, in-depth, and fruitful discussions rather than just serving as a platform for one to one researcher interaction and collaboration. …”

Investigating the role of self-sacrificing prosociality in intragroup and intergroup contexts by Katna, Dashalini P.

“…Parochial cooperation theories assume that strongly self-sacrificing members primarily desire and seek to achieve ingroup-favouring outcomes, and consequently become prepared to bear extreme costs to themselves. This altruism to help, however, does not always extend into intergroup contexts. …”

Modeling pedestrian activity in cities with urban network analysis by Sevtsuk, Andres, Kalvo, Raul

“…The global climate-change crisis, along with public health and economic competitiveness challenges in cities around the world have underscored the need for analytic tools to examine the relationship between city design and sustainable mobility. Car-centered travel demand models and land-use-transportation interaction models have historically analyzed zone-to-zone trips along major roadways, largely omitting pedestrian and bicycle trips and creating a gap in the ability for planners and urban designers to systematically assess non-motorized outcomes of development interventions. …”

On the local and string stability analysis of traffic collision risk by Dong, Tianyu, Zhou, Jiazu, Zhuo, Junfan, Li, Bo, Zhu, Feng

“…These theoretical insights are substantiated through microscopic simulations using a variety of car-following models. The simulations also indicate that the consistency between theoretical and simulation outcomes diminishes as the disturbance magnitude increases, which is attributed to the linearization errors inherent in applying the transfer function in the theoretical derivations.…”

Distributed execution of workflow by Khademi Hedayat, Maryam

“…The main reasons which led us to this selection are: (i) there is few existing work on partitioning workflow, specially as a means of accelerating workflow execution; (ii) several systems have been developed using three main enactment models (i.e., centralized, hierarchical, and distributed models), but most of them focus on centralized execution control while the existing hierarchical and distributed models still have problems such as high overhead in communication amongst the distributed parties; and (iii) data movement mechanisms are divided into: centralized, mediated, and peer-to-peer models. …”
