This study is situated in the context of intelligent transport systems, where in-vehicle devices assist drivers to avoid accidents and therefore improve road safety. The vehicles present in a given area form an ad' hoc network of vehicles called vehicular ad' hoc network. In this type of network, the nodes are mobile vehicles and the messages exchanged are messages to warn about obstacles that may hinder the correct driving. Node mobilities make it impossible for inter-node communication to be end-to-end. Recognizing this characteristic has led to delay-tolerant vehicular networks. Embedded devices have small buffers (memory) to hold messages that a node needs to transmit when no other node is within its visibility range for transmission. The performance of a vehicular delay-tolerant network is closely tied to the successful management of the nodes' transit buffer. In this paper, we propose a message transit buffer management model for nodes in vehicular delay tolerant networks. This model consists in setting up, on the one hand, a policy of dropping messages from the buffer when the buffer is full and must receive a new message. This drop policy is based on the concept of intermediate node to destination, queues and priority class of service. It is also based on the properties of the message (size, weight, number of hops, number of replications, remaining time-to-live, etc.). On the other hand, the model defines the policy for selecting the message to be transmitted. The proposed model was evaluated with the ONE opportunistic network simulator based on a 4000m x 4000m area of downtown Bouaké in Côte d'Ivoire. The map data were imported using the Open Street Map tool. The results obtained show that our model improves the delivery ratio of security alert messages, reduces their delivery delay and network overload compared to the existing model. This improvement in communication within a network of vehicles can contribute to the improvement of road safety.

본 연구는 시간-면적 방법론을 적용하여 도시교통수단의 토지소모 효율성을 비교분석하고자 하였다. 도시의 주요 교통수단을 대상으로 그간의 연구와 달리 각 수단에 적합한 교통조건과 운행여건을 고려한 토지소모효율성 산정식을 도출하였고, 도출된 식을 이용하여 각 수단별 1km 통행시의 인당 시간-면적 소모량을 계산하여 비교하였다. 또한 산정식을 이용하여 소모량과 운행속도와의 관계를 분석하여 각 수단의 소모량의 범위를 비교하였으며, 주차에 의한 시간-면적 소모량을 명확히 제시하기 위해 외곽으로부터 도심으로 통행하는 통근자의 가상 왕복통행을 가정하여 수단별 통행에 따른 총 시간-면적소모량을 비교분석하였다. 연구의 결과, 이용시설에 상관없이 승용차 이용자가 가장 소모량이 많은 것으로 나타났고, 도시철도를 포함한 대중교통수단의 효율성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 예상과는 달리 도보와 자전거는 높은 소모량을 보였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 단거리 통행시 버스를 대체할 수 있는 수단으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 경제분석기법에서 편익항목의 통행시간절감편익의 개선안을 살펴보았다. 기존의 경제성분석 시 통행시간절감편익의 계산방법은 피크시간대의 O/D를 이용하여365를 곱하여 산정하고 있다. 이 계산방법의 문제점은 요일에 대한 교통량변화, 달에 대한 교통량변화를 고려하지 못하는 것이다. 이러한 분석점을 개선하기 위하여, 군집분석과 t-검증을 통하여 달별, 요일별 비슷한 교통량 패턴이 가지는 것끼리 묶었다. 이러한 결과값은 요일별과 월별로 교통량의 차이가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 요일별, 월별 가중치를 적용하여 pilot 예제를 통해 통행시간절감분을 계산하였더니 기존의 방법에 비해 다소 적게 도출되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 교통량의 변화패턴을 고려한 가중치 연구에 의의를 둘 수 있다.

CISG 제71조 제2항은 매도인에게 부여된 권한으로 지급을 받지 못한 매도인은 운송 중에 있는 물품에 대하여 매수인에게 인도하지 못하도록 운송을 중지시킬 권한을 가지고 있으며, 운송증권이 이미 매수인에게 교부된 때에도 그러하다고 규정한 소위 운송유보권을 의미한다. 운송유보권 하에서 운송인은 물품에 대한 인도의 책임이 발생하게 되는데, 정당한 증권을 소지한 매수인 또는 선의의 소지인이 물품의 인도를 요구하는 경우, 만약 인도를 거부한다면 매수인으로부터의 손해배상책임을 피할 수 없고, 인도를 한다면 매도인으로부터 손해배상책임을 피할 수 없게 되므로 운송인의 법적지위가 취약하게 될 것이다. 본 논문은 운송유보권 하에서 운송인의 법적 지위의 취약함과 운송유보권의 취지에 맞는 운송인의 법적 행위 및 다양한 매매계약의 성격에 따른 운송유보권의 행사 가능성에 대하여 논하고자 하였다. 이와 관련 매도인이 운송유보권을 행사했음에도 불구하고 매수인이 물건을 수취한 경우, 매수인이 매도인에 대하여 손해배상의무를 진다고 해석, 사실상 매수인에게 물품이 인도되는 것을 방지하고 있다는 주장이 있으나, 이는 운송유보권의 취지에 비추어 볼 때 운송유보권의 발동을 무의미하게 하는 주장이므로 타당하지 않다. 운송유보권이 발동된 경우 매수인은 계약 이행에 관한 적절한 담보를 제공함으로써 운송유보권을 해제하여야 하며, 그렇지 못한 경우 운송인은 매수인에게 화물을 인도함으로써 추후 매수인에게 손해배상의무를 지도록 하는 면책행위를 행하지 못하도록 함이 타당하다고 판단된다. 또한 운송유보권은 물품매매계약의 지급결제방식과 운송방식 및 선화증권의 형태 등에 따라 그 행사유무가 각각 달라질 수 있을 것이다. 신용장 방식의 경우 운송유보권의 행사는 불필요하며, 신용장 이외의 모든 결제방식에서 운송유보권의 행사가 가능할 것이다. 운송방식과 관련하여 대부분의 경우 운송유보권의 행사가 가능하나, 만일 매수인 자신이 선주인 경우나 운송인이 매수인의 대리인인 경우라면 운송유보권은 행사가 힘들다고 판단된다. 또한 운송증권의 형태와 상관없이 운송인이 화물을 매수인에게 인도하기 전이라면 운송유보권의 행사가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Small intestinal transit (SIT) has often been regarded as an index of pathophysiological state of postoperative ileus (PI) in rats. The reliability of SIT as an index of PI was examined in the present study. PI was induced via abdominal surgery (i.e., laparotomy with evisceration and manipulation) in rats. For one group of PI-induced rats, SIT of a charcoal test meal was measured. When necessary, the physical state (i.e., severity and site of distension) of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in each rat was visually examined. For another group of PI-induced rats, abdominal X-ray radiographs were obtained after introducing the barium sulfate suspension. The abdomen was then opened and the physical state of the GI tract was visually examined. The SIT was decreased in most of the PI-induced rats, and the GI distension was observed, with substantial intersubject variations, in all of the PI-induced rats. However, no linear relationship was evident between the SIT and the severity of GI distension (e.g., at 20 h after PI induction). Instead, the severity and site of GI distension could be monitored by the X-ray radiology. Therefore, the use of SIT as an index of PI should be substantially limited.

We present an electrical particle velocity profiler using particle transit time across uneven inter-gap electrodes. We measure both the particle position and velocity from the voltage signals generated by the particles passing across sensing electrodes, thus obtaining the velocity profile of the particles in a microfluidic channel. In the experimental study, we use polystyrene microparticles to characterize the performance of the electrical particle velocity profiler. The particle velocity profile is measured with the uncertainty of 5.44%, which is equivalent to the uncertainty of 5% in the previous optical method. We also experimentally demonstrate the capability of the present method for in-channel clogging detection. Compared to the previous optical methods, the present electrical particle velocity profiler offers the simpler structure, the cheaper cost, and the higher integrability to micro-biofluidic systems.

Today's urban transit system is regarded as the important public transportation service which saves passengers' time and provides the safety. Many researches focus on the rapid and protective responses that minimize the losses when dangerous situation occurs. In this paper we proposed the early fire detection and corresponding rapid response method in urban transit system by combining automatic fire detection for video input and the sensor system. The fire detection method consists of two parts, spark detection and smoke detection. At the spark detection, the RGB color of input video is converted into HSV color and the frame difference is obtained in temporal direction. The region with high R values is considered as fire region candidate and stepwise fire detection rule is applied to calculate its size. At the smoke detection stage, we used the smoke sensor network to secure the credibility of spark detection. The proposed system can be implemented at low prices. In the future work, we would improve the detection algorithm and the accuracy of sensor location in the network.

In this study, we investigated the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the treatment of 20 acute stroke patients with dysphagia. For both the treated and control groups, the basic facial stimulation training was conducted for 30 minutes, five times a week, for four weeks. NMES was performed on the treated group only, for 30 minutes each time. Both groups were evaluated according to the functional dysphagia scale (FDS) using a videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). After the treatment was performed for four weeks, the FDS results of the treated group showed a significance difference in oral transit time in the oral phase and in the triggering of pharyngeal swallow fluid, laryngeal elevation and epiglottic closure, nasal penetration, residue in valleculae, coating of pharyngeal wall after swallow fluid, and pharyngeal transit time in the pharyngeal phase. In addition, the treated group showed a significant difference in laryngeal elevation and epiglottic closure, nasal penetration, and pharyngeal transit time in the pharyngeal phase after the treatment compared to the control group. The results of this study showed that neuromuscular electrical stimulation may be an effective method of treating dysphagia in acute phase stroke patients.

This study aims to investigate the effects of restrictions in economic activity on the spread of COVID-19 in the Philippines. This research employs daily time-series data of confirmed new COVID-19 cases, Apple mobility trends (i.e., use of public transport to destinations, volume of people driving, and amount of walking to destinations) and Google community mobility (i.e., visits to transit stations, visits to workplaces, and staying-at-home) indicators covering the period February 17 to September 11, 2020. The analysis starts by establishing the correlation pattern of new confirmed COVID-19 daily infections to each independent variable. The results show negative linear correlation of the number of new COVID-19 daily infections with less visit to transit station, increase stay-at-home, less use of public transport, and less amount of walking to destinations. Interestingly, the number of new COVID-19 daily infections indicates some form of positive linear correlation with visits to workplaces and volume of people driving. Moreover, employing robust least square regression via the method of MM-estimation, major findings reveal that across mobility measures, staying-at-home has the highest impact on reducing the spread of COVID-19, followed by visiting transit stations less, less use of public transport, less amount of walking, and less workplace visits.
