Analysis of methods for accounting cargo vehicles in traffic flow of a regulated crossroad by V. V. Donchenko, A. N. Shumskiy

“…Quite often, such problems are observed at regulated intersections, which requires a prompt change in the control mode; for this, the necessary measure is the mandatory consideration of the technical and dynamic parameters of trucks, which are not fully taken into account in the existing reduction factors. …”

Biofilm Growth in Porous Media Well Approximated by Fractal Multirate Mass Transfer With Advective‐Diffusive Solute Exchange by Jingjing Wang, Jesús Carrera, Maarten W. Saaltink, Jordi Petchamé‐Guerrero, Graciela S. Herrera, Cristina Valhondo

“…We successfully tested this model on two sets of laboratory data and found that (a) a basic model based on the growth of uniformly sized biofilm aggregates fails to reproduce laboratory tracer tests and rate of biofilm growth, while a fractal growth model, which we obtain by integrating the memory functions of biofilm aggregates with a power law distribution, does; (b) the biofilm memory function evolves as the biofilm grows; and (c) the early time portion of eluted volume tracer breakthrough curves are independent of flow rate, whereas the tail becomes heavier when the flow rate is decreased, which implies that both advection controlled and diffusion controlled mass exchange coexist in biofilms. …”
