The S100 family is a class of calcium-regulated proteins with EF-hand. They are widely distributed and are implicated in diverse intracellular and extracellular physiological processes. A study of the S100 family using computational biology methods such as multiple sequence alignment, structural ali...

Optimization of adaptive traffic signal timing is one of the most complex problems in traffic control systems. This paper presents an adaptive transit signal priority (TSP) strategy that applies the parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) to optimize adaptive traffic signal control in the presence of TSP. ...

It is becoming increasingly difficult for Chinese citizens to access traditional public transport because of overcrowded community structures. Therefore, novel ideas are required to improve the transport system. In this respect, this study considers the design of a public transport scheduling model ...

Based on a simple step-stress accelerated competing risks model from generalized exponential distribution, the statistical prediction problem of unobserved failure times under generalized progressive hybrid censoring is investigated. Using the cumulative exposure model, maximum likelihood predictors...

With proper power scheduling and dynamic pricing, a unidirectional charger can provide benefits and regulation services to the electricity grid, at a level approaching that of bidirectional charging. Power scheduling and schedule flexibility of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are addressed. The...
