The rate of supernovae can also reveal the star formation histories. Supernova rates are usually measured through the non-thermal radio continuum luminosity; however, a correlation between near-infrared [FeII] emission and supernova remnants has also been noted. We aim to find a quantitative relationship between the [FeII] at 1.26 um ([FeII]$_{1.26}$) luminosity and supernova rate in a sample of 11 near-by starburst galaxy centers. We perform a pixel-pixel analysis of this correlation on SINFONI data cubes. Using Br$\gamma$ equivalent width and luminosity as the only observational inputs into the Starburst 99 model, we derive the supernova rate at each pixel and thus create maps of supernova rates. We then compare these morphologically and quantitatively to the [FeII]$_{1.26}$ luminosity. We have found that a strong linear and morphological correlation exists between supernova rate and [FeII]$_{1.26}$ on a pixel-pixel basis: \[ log\frac{\nu_{SNrate}}{yr^{-1}pc^{-2}} = 1.01 \pm 0.2\ast log\frac{[FeII]_{1.26}}{erg s^{-1}pc^{-2}} - 41.17 \pm 0.9\] This relation is valid for normal star forming galaxies but breaks down for extreme ultra luminous galaxies. The supernova rates derived from the Starburst 99 model are in good agreement with the radio-derived supernova rates, which underlines the strength of using [FeII] emission as a tracer of supernova rate. With the strong correlation found in this sample of galaxies, we conclude that [FeII]$_{1.26}$ emission can be generally used to derive accurate supernova rates on either a pixel-pixel or integrated galactic basis.

We designed a knowledge-based system for the management of patients receiving respiratory support and implemented a weaning procedure. The system is intended for patients whose spontaneous respiratory activity is assisted by a Hamilton Veolar ventilator delivering a positive pressure plateau during inspiration (Pressure Support Ventilation mode). Our closed-loop real-time system running on a Personal Computer continuously adapts the assistance provided by the ventilator to the patient's evolution, and indicates when the patient can be withdrawn from the ventilator. Three parameters are used to appreciate the ‘respiratory comfort’ of the patient: breathing frequency, which we consider the most informative index, tidal volume and end-tidal CO 2 pressure. A preliminary study of 19 patients was performed to evaluate the ability of our system to adapt the assistance to the patient's needs, with the main objective of facilitating weaning by gradually lowering the level of assistance. In 10 of these patients, considered as good candidates for weaning on the strength of objective criteria, the system maintained the breathing pattern in a zone of comfort for 95% of the period of assisted ventilation and stated that they were ‘weanable’. This was consistent with the clinical evolution of all 10 patients. These results show that such a system can provide effective management for mechanically ventilated patients.International Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing, Volume 9, Number 4 - SpringerLinkhttp://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/29ac3a7432ab872c4a4b97981a358cd83/marsianusmarsianus2012-02-14T11:39:08+01:00POT LMOM Extremes ExtremalIndex Cluster <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Eastoe">Emma F.

This has been applied to a variety of areas, such as social sciences, engineering, and mathematical and physical theories. In this work, we address the complex task of modelling drivers' behaviour through the use of agent-based techniques. Contemporary traffic systems have experienced considerable changes in the last few years, and the rapid growth of urban areas has challenged scientific and technical communities. Influencing drivers' behaviour appears as an alternative to traditional approaches to cope with the potential problem of traffic congestion, such as the physical modification of road infrastructures and the improvement of control systems. It arises as one of the underlying ideas of intelligent transportation systems. In order to offer a good means to evaluate the impact that exogenous information may exert on drivers' decision making, we propose an extension to an existing microscopic simulation model called Dynamic Route Assignment Combining User Learning and microsimulAtion (DRACULA). In this extension, the traffic domain is viewed as a multi-agent world and drivers are endowed with mental attitudes, which allow rational decisions about route choice and departure time. This work is divided into two main parts. The first part describes the original DRACULA framework and the extension proposed to support our agent-based traffic model. The second part is concerned with the reasoning mechanism of drivers modelled by means of a Beliefs, Desires, and Intentions (BDI) architecture. In this part, we use AgentSpeak(L) to specify commuter scenarios and special emphasis is given to departure time and route choices. This paper contributes in that respect by showing a practical way of representing and assessing drivers' behaviour and the adequacy of using AgentSpeak(L) as a modelling language, as it provides clear and elegant specifications of BDI agents.

CARTESIUS is composed of two interacting knowledge-based systems that perform cooperative reasoning and resolve conflicts, for the analysis of non-recurring congestion and the on-line formulation of integrated control plans. The two agents support incident management operations for a freeway and an adjacent arterial subnetwork and interact with human operators, - determining control recommendations in response to the occurrence of incidents. The multi-decision maker approach. adopted by CARTESIUS reflects the spatial and administrative organization of traffic management agencies in US cities, providing a cooperative solution that exploits the agencies' willingness to cooperate and unify their problem-solving capabilities, yet preserves the different levels of authority and the inherent distribution of data and expertise. The interaction between the agents is based on the functionally accurate, cooperative paradigm, a distributed problem solving approach aimed at producing consistent solutions without requiring the agents to have shared access to all globally available information. The cornerstone of this approach is the assumption that effective solutions can be efficiently obtained even when complete and up-to-date information is not directly available to the agents, thus reducing the need for complex data communication networks and synchronization time delays. The simulation-based evaluation of the system performance validates this assumption. The paper focuses on the distributed architecture of the agents and on their communication and decision making characteristics. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The TOD timing plans, defined by fixed-time co-ordination parameters, need to change from one TOD period to another. The current methods used in transitioning are aimed at achieving quick transition rather than optimizing traffic flow during the transition period. As a result, they generally cause increased vehicle delays during the transition period particularly for vehicles on the minor street, which face lengthened red times. This paper proposes a quadratic optimization method that can be used to reduce disutility measures to motorists during the transition period. The transition is modeled as a linear dynamic process, and the disutility measures are modeled as the sum of squares of the deviations of the co-ordination parameters-that is, cycle length, phase split, and offset-from the optimal values during the transition. A linear quadratic (LQ) optimization technique of optimal control is used to determine the step size and the number of steps necessary to complete the transition with minimum disutility. The proposed transition period optimization method has the advantage that the user need not specify minimum and maximum cycle length to achieve optimization, as is the case with current methods. Simulation results for three co-ordinated intersections showed that the proposed method reduces total vehicle delay when compared to the 'immediate' transition method embedded in CORSIM traffic simulation software. This is due to the fact that vehicles on the minor street approaches get proportional green time without significantly affecting green times on the major street approach green phase. However, the method showed a slight increase in total delay for vehicles on the major street.

By investigating the details of ADHOC protocol, we have discovered several unsolved problems that might lead to network failure. In this paper, we provide a quantitative analysis of the success probability for contending nodes and prove that an adaptive frame length is quite necessary. We propose Adaptive-ADHOC (A-ADHOC) MAC protocol, which implements a robust mechanism supporting the adaptive frame length. Evaluation result shows that A-ADHOC can maintain a high contending success probability and obtain about 50% reduction of response time over original ADHOC protocol, while providing important enhancement on network scalability and robustness.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/23e09b649f234a30d8420cdf190ac60a8/atrianaatriana2012-02-14T04:45:59+01:00<span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Hadipriono">F.

Training novice officers in accident site management will reduce inappropriate assessment that delays rapid clearance response. The INtelligent TRaffic Evaluator for Prompt Incident Diagnosis using a Reality Engine (INTREPID-RE) simulates traffic accidents using the virtual reality technique. The system allows users to evaluate accidents as if they were present at a real accident site. The simulated traffic accidents generated by INTREPID-RE are based on a combination of vehicle types, highway conditions, visibility, and final position of the involved vehicles. In this first of a two-part paper, the research results in major features, such as the creation of an interactive user interface panel, seven highway configurations, five types of traffic vehicles, overturning condition of the vehicles, traffic cones, nighttime visibility, foggy weather conditions, animation of moving vehicles, and dynamic text display.

While Part I emphasizes the construction of the user interface control panel and the 3D objects, this paper describes the development of the virtual reality algorithm, environment and models. During the simulation process, novice highway patrol officers wear a head-mounted display and a cyberglove to enter and view an accident scene that they create, and assess the magnitude and severity of the traffic accident. Based on their assessments, patrol officers establish an on-site traffic control strategy and coordinate parking of emergency vehicles that minimizes unnecessary traffic congestion. Officers use INTREPID-RE to secure a safe area for on-site patrol officers, create a channel to permit other drivers to pass the site, and dispatch highway patrol and emergency vehicles to the accident site. The interactive positioning function allows a virtual hand to simulate the positioning of emergency vehicles and clearing of accident vehicles on the road. Six domain experts who evaluated INTREPID-RE rated the system as good and agree that it has the potential to become a promising tool for training novice police officers.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/211ae80b2de7ffcf8069119a9a435861a/atrianaatriana2012-02-14T04:45:56+01:00RULES <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Tang">F.

It aims to improve driving safety and efficiency using appropriate motion scheduling of all the encountered vehicles. Under cooperative driving control, the motion of individual vehicles could be conducted in a safe, deterministic, and smooth manner. This is particularly useful to heavy-duty vehicles since their acceleration/deceleration capacity is relatively low. Specifically in this paper, cooperative driving at blind crossings (crossings without traffic lights) is studied. A concept of safety driving patterns is proposed to represent the collision-free movements of vehicles at crossings. The solution space of all allowable movement schedules is then described by a spanning tree in terms of safety driving patterns; four trajectory planning algorithms are formulated to determine the driving plans with least execution times using schedule trees. The group communication strategy for intervehicle networks is also analyzed. Finally, simulation studies have been conducted, and results demonstrate the potentiality and usefulness of the proposed algorithms for cooperative driving at blind crossings.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2e14f2f860179387cb947de9693bb4dea/atrianaatriana2012-02-14T04:45:14+01:00<span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Zhang">N.

Traffic forecasting for travelers and traffic operators should become at least as useful and convenient as weather reports. In the US, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has envisioned a real-time traffic estimation and prediction system (TrEPS) as an ITS Support platform that resides at traffic management centers (TMCs) for dynamic route assignment (DRA) and other transportation operations. To enable ITS deployment for urban traffic control and management in China, in 1999 the Chinese Academy of Sciences Outlined a research agenda to develop related intelligent systems and technology.(1) A central component of this agenda was a REPS called DynaCAS (dynamic traffic assignment based on complex adaptive systems). Here, we briefly introduce DynaCAS and its open source counterpart DynaChina, emphasizing how they differ from other TrEPS projects.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2cb5f68bc7514df1c3f9f5ad5b1d13715/atrianaatriana2012-02-14T04:44:40+01:00MODEL <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Burguillo-Rial">J.

The traffic in a city can be simulated by a MAS with different agents, cars and traffic lights, that interact to obtain an overall goal: to reduce average waiting times for the traffic risers. In this Paper, we describe an agent-based simulator to model traffic in cities. Using this simulator, we present a sell-organizing solution to efficiently manage urban traffic. We compare our proposal with recent approaches, providing better results than classical and alternative self-organizing methods, with lower resources and investments.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/277e665668a078cd81ef8e633a33f9186/atrianaatriana2012-02-14T04:44:39+01:00<span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Klugl">F.

The richness of the environment and its spatial representation form basic ingredients for such models. However, they cannot be modelled easily with simple spatial representations usually used in multi-agent simulation. An interesting solution consists of coupling a multi-agent simulation tool and a geographical information system. Based on such a coupling existing real-world geographic data can be used for realistic multi-agent simulations. In this article, we are presenting several ways of coupling multi-agent simulators and geographical information systems. Important aspects are tackled, like correspondence between agents and their shape as well as possible perceptions and actions. The concepts are exemplified in a coupling between SeSAm and Arcview and demonstrated using a simple traffic simulation.http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2df6dbed89a49a368270d4ea42beebc26/drmatusekdrmatusek2012-02-14T00:52:33+01:00theory review quantum coupled cluster chemistry <span class="authorEditorList"><a href="/author/Lyakh">Dmitry I.
