Dynamic Phase Signal Control Method for Unstable Asymmetric Traffic Flow at Intersections by Xiancai Jiang, Yu Jin, Yanli Ma

“…This paper addresses the limitations that the phases proposed in variable phase sequencing studies for stochastic traffic flow are all predetermined and that the variable phase sequencing is only suitable for low traffic volume environment. It presents a dynamic phase signal control method for unstable asymmetric traffic flow with two primary operational objectives: the realization of a dynamic phase scheme in each cycle and optimization of signal control parameters. …”

A High-Performance Lossless Compression Scheme for EEG Signals Using Wavelet Transform and Neural Network Predictors by N. Sriraam

“…Of the different 1D medical signals, electroencephalography (EEG) data is of great importance to the neurologist for detecting brain-related disorders. The volume of digitized EEG data generated and preserved for future reference exceeds the capacity of recent developments in digital storage and communication media and hence there is a need for an efficient compression system. …”

Investigating the steady state of multicellular spheroids by revisiting the two-fluid model by Antonio Fasano, Marco Gabrielli, Alberto Gandolfi

“…In this paper we examine the steady state of tumour spheroids consideringa structure in which the central necrotic region contains an inner liquidcore surrounded by dead cells that keep some mechanical integrity.This partition is a consequence of assuming that a finite delayis required for the degradation of dead cells into liquid.The phenomenological assumption of constant local volume fraction ofcells is also made. The above structure iscoupled with a simple mechanical model that views the cell component as aviscous fluid and the extracellular liquid as an inviscid fluid. …”

Nonlinear Vibrations of FGM Cylindrical Panel with Simply Supported Edges in Air Flow by Y. X. Hao, W. Zhang, S. B. Li, J. H. Zhang

“…The temperature dependent material properties of panel which are assumed to be changed through the thickness direction only can be determined by a simple power distribution in terms of the volume fractions. With Hamilton’s principle for an elastic body, a nonlinear dynamical model based on Reddy’s first-order shear deformation shell theory and von Karman type geometric nonlinear relationship is derived in the form of partial equations. …”
