An Improved Single-Lane Cellular Automaton Model considering Driver’s Radical Feature by Xu Qu, Mofeng Yang, Fan Yang, Bin Ran, Linchao Li

“…Then, numerical simulations validated that the proposed improved model can well reproduce the traffic phenomena, as shown by the fundamental diagram and space-time diagram. Also, in low-density state, it can be found that the RF model is superior to the CD model in simulating the speed difference characteristics, where the average speed difference of adjacent vehicles for RF model is more consistent with reality. …”

Study on the Dynamic Response Characteristics of Cylindrical Coal-Rock Samples under Dynamic Loads by Hongqing Zhu, Shuhao Fang, Yilong Zhang, Yan Wu

“…The results demonstrated the following: (1) the cylindrical coal-rock sample failed at the center first, and the damage developed downward along the axial direction. (2) The critical effective stress and strain have an exponential function relationship with the velocity, and the critical time has a linear relationship with the velocity. (3) The energy change law of the cylindrical coal-rock sample is consistent with the destruction morphology. (4) The axial stress peaks in the severe damage part have a linear relationship with the speed, the axial stress attenuates rapidly after passing the stress yield point, and the axial strain does not increase continuously. (5) The peaks stress and strain on the central axis and the radial line obey the power function distribution, the axial stress produces tensile stress in the axial propagation direction, and the axial stress and strain peaks at the same position are larger than those of the radial stress and strain peaks. …”

Exposure to Early Life Stress Results in Epigenetic Changes in Neurotrophic Factor Gene Expression in a Parkinsonian Rat Model by Thabisile Mpofana, Willie M. U. Daniels, Musa V. Mabandla

“…Following unilateral injection of a mild dose of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), we measured corticosterone (CORT) in the blood and striatum of stressed and nonstressed rats; we also measured DNA methylation and BDNF and GDNF gene expression in the striatum using real time PCR. In the presence of stress, we found that there was increased corticosterone concentration in both blood and striatal tissue. …”
