description: The continuous growth in demand of vehicular traffic has led to a large increase in fuel consumption and emissions, negatively impacting the environment, public health, and the economy. The main goal of this paper is to synthesize and document the state-of-the-practice in modeling fuel consumption and emissions at signalized intersection approaches. The synthesis work presented in this paper focuses on two main areas: fuel consumption and emission modeling tools for signalized intersection approaches and the sources of emissions inventory and data used in the models. The first part of this paper includes a background covering different traffic-related pollutants, emission factors and different methods used to obtain them and examples of the currently available emission inventories. In the second part, a review of currently available fuel consumption and emission models suitable for modeling traffic operations at signalized intersection approaches is presented covering three different analysis levels: microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic.

On Lower Iteration Complexity Bounds for the Saddle Point Problems

description: In this paper, we study the lower iteration complexity bounds for finding the saddle point of a strongly convex and strongly concave saddle point problem: $\min_x\max_yF(x,y)$. We restrict the classes of algorithms in our investigation to be either pure first-order methods or methods using proximal mappings. The existing lower bound result for this type of problems is obtained via the framework of strongly monotone variational inequality problems, which corresponds to the case where the gradient Lipschitz constants ($L_x, L_y$ and $L_{xy}$) and strong convexity/concavity constants ($μ_x$ and $μ_y$) are uniform with respect to variables $x$ and $y$. However, specific to the min-max saddle point problem these parameters are naturally different. Therefore, one is led to finding the best possible lower iteration complexity bounds, specific to the min-max saddle point models. In this paper we present the following results. For the class of pure first-order algorithms, our lower iteration complexity bound is $Ω\left(\sqrt{\frac{L_x}{μ_x}+\frac{L_{xy}^2}{μ_xμ_y}+\frac{L_y}{μ_y}}\cdot\ln\left(\frac{1}ε\right)\right)$, where the term $\frac{L_{xy}^2}{μ_xμ_y}$ explains how the coupling influences the iteration complexity. Under several special parameter regimes, this lower bound has been achieved by corresponding optimal algorithms. However, whether or not the bound under the general parameter regime is optimal remains open. Additionally, for the special case of bilinear coupling problems, given the availability of certain proximal operators, a lower bound of $Ω\left(\sqrt{\frac{L_{xy}^2}{μ_xμ_y}+1}\cdot\ln(\frac{1}ε)\right)$ is established in this paper, and optimal algorithms have already been developed in the literature.

description: Mathematical-computational modelling is a very valuable tool for decision-making and proper management of the protocols used to
 limit the damage caused by an epidemic in living beings. Biological invasions are a process with four stages: arrival, establishment,
 spread and concentration. All the processes involved can model on a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE) that describes the evolution of populations confined in compartments according to their states. However, this type of modelling has some shortcomings, for example, not considering local interactions between the individuals that make up the population. In addition, differential equations assume that individuals are homogeneously distributed, and all connected to each other, therefore, it is difficult to access the individual dynamics that can occur. These difficulties can be overcome by discrete models (based on agents or cellular automata).
 Our compartmental model bases on a time-space representation in the form of a grid in which each cell represents either a tree that can be infected under the influence of the whole ecosystem. The state of the grid is updated over time. As many grids as factors in the entire ecosystem will be considered. The update rules and the definition of the probabilities of infection will be described by Boolean rules and neighbourhood environments in the grids.
 Our proposal provides suitable modelling to the spread of plant pest and particularly to the propagation of Xf in the almond trees. This approach allows the study of the response of the individual trees according to both the combination of variables of an ecosystem and their intensity. Another advantage of the model is that it allows easy scaling when the number of characteristics of the ecosystem increases. These encouraging results can guide the modeling of tools to advise the appropriate control.

description: We report the kinematic shift of the C IV broad absorption line (BAL) in quasar SDSS J120819.29+035559.4 (hereafter J1208+0355). This quasar shows two BAL systems, including a blue component of system A at $\sim$-23500$\,\rm km\,s^{-1}$ that shows a kinematic shift of -1166$\pm$65$\,\rm km\,s^{-1}$, and a red component of system B at $\sim$-7000$\,\rm km\,s^{-1}$ that can be decomposed into several narrow absorption lines (NALs). First, we confirm that the most likely cause for the equivalent width variations of the absorption lines (at least for system B) in J1208+0355 is the ionization change scenario as a response to the changes in the ionization continuum according to the following observational factors: (1) coordinated multiple absorption lines strengthening; (2) the continuum flux shows an obvious weakening. Second, we find line-locking phenomena from the blended NALs within system B, indicating that these outflow clouds are driven by a radiative force caused by resonance lines. The above two research aspects convincingly reveal that the BAL outflows of J1208+0355 are affected by the background radiation energy. Therefore, we infer that the kinematic shift shown in system A may be produced by actual line-of-sight acceleration of the outflow clouds, which is driven by radiation pressure from the background light source.

description: The intervening large--scale structure distorts cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies via gravitational lensing. The same large--scale structure, traced by dusty star--forming galaxies, also induces anisotropies in the far--infrared background (FIRB). We investigate the resulting inter--dependence of the FIRB and CMB with a halo model for the FIRB. In particular, we calculate the cross--correlation between the lensing potential and the FIRB. The lensing potential can be quadratically estimated from CMB temperature and/or polarization maps. We show that the cross--correlation can be measured with high signal--to--noise with data from the Planck Surveyor. We discuss how such a measurement can be used to understand the nature of FIRB sources and their relation to the distribution of dark matter.

description: Queue formation and dissipation have been extensively studied in relation to traffic signalization, work zone operation, incident occurrence, and ramp metering. This study is an attempt to estimate the effect of vehicle mix, commute time, traffic direction, and road upgrade on queue dissipation speed (time). The data were collected at several intersections in Davis, California, U.S. and analyzed using regression models. The models were determined regressing several functional forms and considering the statistical significance and ease of interpretation of the included variables. The main findings are: 1) dissipation speed does not vary purely by location; 2) a heavy vehicle is faster to discharge than its passenger car sizeequivalent is; 3) the queue in a left-turn lane discharges faster than that in a through lane; 4) an upgrade slope increases the queue dissipation time due to more rolling resistance to vehicle start-up and larger vehicle gaps for safety ; 5) morning queues generally discharge more slowly; 6) contrary to common delay estimation models, regression analysis shows that queue dissipation time is linearly related to the number of vehicles rather than quadratically or in other ways; and 7) the simple linear function performs well both in terms of explanatory power (R2) and consistency of signs.

description: This paper examines the role of the various players in the port industry and their interactions, and determines the impact of their actions in port operations. A mathematical approach has been developed to assist port authorities in decision making for infrastructure investment. The model examines the port investment decisions within the context of a multimodal transportation system. Model results are used to answer questions regarding the optimal investment strategy of a port authority in order to maximize the net social benefit; the impact of this strategy to the terminal operators and users; the effect of competition or cooperation between carriers; and the shippers’ behavior in terms of quantity and price of goods shipped over the intermodal network. The paper concludes with a practical interpretation of the results of the theoretical models. Further improvements that would capture real world issues that are not adequately treated by the current models are discussed.

description: This paper deals with the dissipative dynamics of a quantum harmonic oscillator interacting with a bosonic reservoir. The Master Equations based on the Rotating Wave and on the Feynman-Vernon system--reservoir couplings are compared highlighting differences and analogies. We discuss quantitatively and qualitatively the conditions under which the counter rotating terms can be neglected. By comparing the analytic solution of the heating function relative to the two different coupling models we conclude that, even in the weak coupling limit, the counter rotating terms give rise to a significant contribution in the non--Markovian short time regime. The main result of this paper is that such a contribution is actually experimentally measurable and thus relevant for a correct description of the system dynamics.

description: Economists have long approached the airport congestion problem by calling for the use of the price mechanism, under which landing fees are based on a flight’s contribution to congestion. In this paper we extend the existing work on airport congestion pricing, which does not consider inter-temporal pricing across different travel periods, to peak-load pricing (PLP) and analyze both price level and price structure (peak vs. non-peak). A major innovation of our analysis lies in the basic model structure used, in which an airport makes its capacity and price decisions prior to the airlines’ decisions. This vertical structure gives rise to sequential PLP : the PLP schemes implemented by the downstream airlines induce a different periodic demand for the upstream airport, with the shape of that demand depending on the number of downstream carriers and the type of competition they exert. The airport then would have an incentive to use PLP as well, which in turn affects the downstream firms’ PLP. We carry out the analysis for a public airport, for a private airport and for a private airport that has a strategic agreement with the airlines. The comparison between private and public airports is important because it has been argued that private airports would use efficient peak-load and congestion pricing. Our results show that private airports will not only have higher peak and off-peak prices (levels), but also have higher price differentials, inducing a quite different allocation of flights and passengers to peak and-off peak periods. Further, it may be possible that a public airport find it optimal to have a peak price that is lower than the off-peak price. Finally, we note that, while there is an extensive body of literature on PLP, the case of sequential peak-load pricing has yet been analyzed. Since this sequential structure is highly relevant to many other industries (such as telecommunications), our results not only contribute to the understanding of airport policy and management, but should be useful for other sectors as well.

description: State branding programs have become an integral part of many food marketing efforts throughout the United States. State pride may play a role in consumers’ demands for local food products that satisfy desires for connectedness through the food supply chain.However, little research has studied measures of consumers’ state pride, i.e.ethnocentrism. In this study, we develop and calculate consumers’ state pride scores based on survey responses from consumers across an eight-state region. We find that most consumers do not have extremely high or low levels of state pride, but the probability of choosing one’s own state brand is predominately affected by their state pride score.

description: We report the novel pressure(P)-temperature(T) phase diagrams of antiferromagnetism (AF) and superconductivity (SC) in CeRhIn$_5$, CeIn$_3$ and CeCu$_2$Si$_2$ revealed by the NQR measurement. In the itinerant helical magnet CeRhIn$_5$, we found that the Néel temperature $T_N$ is reduced at $P \geq$ 1.23 GPa with an emergent pseudogap behavior. The coexistence of AF and SC is found in a narrow P range of 1.63 - 1.75 GPa, followed by the onset of SC with line-node gap over a wide P window 2.1 - 5 GPa. In CeIn$_3$, the localized magnetic character is robust against the application of pressure up to $P \sim$ 1.9 GPa, beyond which the system evolves into an itinerant regime in which the resistive superconducting phase emerges. We discuss the relationship between the phase diagram and the magnetic fluctuations. In CeCu$_2$Si$_2$, the SC and AF coexist on a microscopic level once its lattice parameter is expanded. We remark that the underlying marginal antiferromagnetic state is due to collective magnetic excitations in the superconducting state in CeCu$_2$Si$_2$. An interplay between AF and SC is discussed on the SO(5) scenario that unifies AF and SC. We suggest that the SC and AF in CeCu$_2$Si$_2$ have a common mechanism.

The black holes have arbitrary masses and different accelerations and share a common acceleration horizon. In the general case, the black holes are joined by cosmic strings or struts that provide the necessary forces that, together with the inter black hole gravitational attractions, produce the acceleration. In the cases of two and three black holes, the parameters may be chosen so that the outermost black hole is pulled along by a cosmic string and the inner black holes follow behind accelerated purely by gravitational forces. We conjecture that similar solutions exist for any number of black holes.

description: In this paper we consider kinetically constrained models (KCM) on $\mathbb Z^2$ with general update families $\mathcal U$. For $\mathcal U$ belonging to the so-called "critical class" our focus is on the divergence of the infection time of the origin for the equilibrium process as the density of the facilitating sites vanishes. In a recent paper Marêché and two of the present authors proved that if $\mathcal U$ has an infinite number of "stable directions", then on a doubly logarithmic scale the above divergence is twice the one in the corresponding $\mathcal U$-bootstrap percolation. Here we prove instead that, contrary to previous conjectures, in the complementary case the two divergences are the same. In particular, we establish the full universality partition for critical $\mathcal U$. The main novel contribution is the identification of the leading mechanism governing the motion of infected critical droplets. It consists of a peculiar hierarchical combination of mesoscopic East-like motions.

description: The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) has been on the forefront in recognizing the potential for bicycle travel to provide mobility, reduce congestion, improve environmental quality, and promote healthy lifestyles. An important component of RIDOT’s mission has been to create a balanced transportation system that embraces a multi-modal approach to transportation decision-making and bicycling has remained central to the department’s inter-modal planning efforts. RIDOT has aggressively pursued a strategy of acquiring abandoned rail lines to convert into scenic commuter and recreational trails. RIDOT’s efforts have produced a very popular resource for touring, recreational, exercise, and commuting activities. As part of RIDOT’s continuing efforts to promote bicycle use as another form of transportation, planners in RIDOT’s Intermodal Planning Division identified the need to compile a comprehensive survey of bike path activity that would provide a gauge of demand and general attitudes. The construction of several new bikeways as part of RIDOT’s statewide bicycle plan have intensified the need for new and current data on path use, types of users, maintenance issues, and the positive economic potential of the state’s bikeways to local businesses. The survey results show that visitors to the bike paths came from all age groups and from all over the state. The paths are clearly facilities with wide appeal. In fact, 99.12% of respondents, answered “yes” when asked if bike path construction constituted good use of tax dollars. The results of the survey reveal enthusiastic support for the bikeways as a facility to promote a healthy lifestyle; unfortunately, use of the bike paths as an alternative facility for commuting remains near its low 1996 level. The lack of restroom facilities and drinking water were the two common complaints from visitors from all of the paths; there are safety concerns about intersections with motor vehicles. Overall, the survey has provided the Intermodal Planning Division a valuable source of information for improving, maintaining, and providing high quality facilities. The results of this survey presented in this paper in descriptive form are useful to planners responsible for developing, expanding and maintaining bike paths in other parts of the country.
Telephone Survey Call Diaries, 1969
Consumers' Association Surveys, 1967-1976
Creators: name: Consumers' Association
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 1976

description: Data accumulated from Consumers' Association surveys are designed to be used by the consumer. The surveys are, therefore, very specific in nature and the subjects covered diverse. The Data Archive holds 19 such surveys.

Readers are asked to note that, with the exception of the surveys on the Telephone Service - 69004, 69016, respondents surveyed are self selected from subscribers to the Association's magazine Which? and so the surveys cannot singly be used in descriptive accounts of the British public.

Surveys 69005-69012 cover various aspects of the housing experiences of Which? readers who moved house in 1967 and 1968. It is here particularly important to remember that the choice strategies and the resources of Which? readers are unlikely to be typical.

description: In the hours following the bombing of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001, thousands of persons in New York and Washington, D.C. evacuated the cities on foot. This every-man-for-himself evacuation posed unique challenges for many individuals with disabilities that impeded their swift movement. The recent natural disaster in New Orleans and the surrounding region echoed again the dilemma faced by persons with disabilities as they struggled to meet the challenges of disability compounded by limited resources for personal evacuation. This paper focuses on research in the area of transit security for persons with disabilities and obstacles confronted by persons with disabilities including the impact of poverty in evacuation.

description: This paper describes a study of daily personal travel time in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota metropolitan area and how and why it changed between 1990 and 2001. This has two major components. The first is the relationship between commute and noncommute travel time. The second is the relationship between mode choice, total daily travel time, and automobile travel time. Both of these are analyzed in terms of how they vary geographically within the region as well as how they changed during the decade. The study is based on the Twin Cities Travel Behavior Inventory (TBI), which included about 10,000 households in 1990 and about 5,000 in 2001. These large samples make it possible to study geographic variations within the region. This is supplemented with information on commute durations from the Census Transportation Planning Package. Average Twin Cities one-way commute durations increased by about two minutes during the 1990s, while total daily travel time increased by about five minutes for workers and two minutes for non-workers. This supports an earlier finding that variations in total daily travel time within the region were primarily due to differences in average commute durations rather than non-work travel. The findings here also support the theory that time spent in non-auto modes reduces the amount of time spent in auto travel, although the reduction is not one-for-one.

Large-scale Vortices in Protoplanetary Disks: On the observability of possible early stages of planet formation
Creators: name: Wolf, Sebastian

description: We investigate the possibility of mapping large-scale anti-cyclonic vortices, resulting from a global baroclinic instability, as pre-cursors of planet formation in proto-planetary disks with the planned Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). On the basis of three-dimensional radiative transfer simulations, images of a hydrodynamically calculated disk are derived which provide the basis for the simulation of ALMA. We find that ALMA will be able to trace the theoretically predicted large-scale anti-cyclonic vortex and will therefore allow testing of existing models of this very early stage of planet formation in circumstellar disks.

description: Given an (irreducible) Mobius covariant net $\mathcal A$, we prove a Bisognano-Wichmann theorem for its categorical extension $\mathscr E^{\textrm{d}}$ associated to the braided $C^*$-tensor category $\textrm{Rep}^{\textrm{d}}(\mathcal A)$ of dualizable (more precisely "dualized") Mobius covariant $\mathcal A$-modules. As a closely related result, we prove a (modified) Bisognano-Wichmann theorem for any (possibly) non-local extension of $\mathcal A$ obtained by a $C^*$-Frobenius algebra $Q$ in $\textrm{Rep}^{\textrm{d}}(\mathcal A)$. As an application, we discuss the relation between the domains of modular operators and the preclosedness of certain unbounded operators in $\mathscr E^{\textrm{d}}$.
