Year: 2005

description: Baggrund: Efter Metroens driftsstart i 2002 løb Metroen ind i en række driftsproblemer, der skræmte (potentielle) passagerer væk og skabte store imagemæssige problemer for såvel Ørestadsselskabet som for systemleverandøren, Ansaldo, og driftsoperatøren, Metro Service. Ørestadsselskabet valgte at gå sammen med sine partnere og etablere sin egen Mediemæssige platform, væsentligst og mest nyskabende gennem etablering af 14-dages bladet "MetroNyt", der direkte til kunderne gav systematiske og løbende oplysning om problemer, iværksatte løsninger og forventede resultater. Formål: At beskrive filofien bag den øgede informationsindsats, problemer ved iværksættelse og gennemførelse, de opnåede resultater, og endelig hvilke erfaringer, Ørestadsselskabet som Trafikselskab har kunne drage heraf

Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2005

description: Igennem årene har der været undersøgt flere forskellige letbanealternativer for Københavnsområdet. Fælles for undersøgelserne har været, at projekterne – med de givne forudsætninger, trafikmodeller og samfundsøkonomiske metoder – har vist sig at have en moderat, ringe eller endog negativ samfundsøkonomi. Omvendt har letbaner haft sin sejrsgang i Europa, med anlæg af et meget stort antal nye letbaner i franske byer, og i mere moderat omfang i bl.a. tyske, italienske og svenske byer. Ge-nerelt udtrykker disse byer sig meget positivt om deres nye letbaner. Så hvad er årsagen til den dårlige performance af de danske projekter? Er det simpelthen fordi, at letbaner ikke er en velegnet løsning i København? Eller er det den planlægningsmetodik, der anvendes, der er problematisk? Artiklen søger med udgangspunkt i eksisterende officielle udredninger såvel som en pulje af studenterprojekter ved CTT at diskutere disse forhold. Der er ikke som sådan tale om en videnskabelig udredning af de mange projekter, men mere forfatternes indtryk og vurderinger efter at have læst et stort antal offentlige udredninger om letbaner, samt efter at have rettet mange års studenterrapporter på bachelor, kursus og kandidat (afgangsprojekt) niveau. I alt indgår 33 primære referencer og 21 studenterprojekter som grundlag for artiklen.

description: S-tog har gennem de sidste 4-5 år målrettet øget anvendelsen af OR-metoder i den strategiske, den langsigtede planlægning og den kortsigtede planlægning. Dette er sket ved rekruttering af en række nye medarbejdere, investering i nye IT-systemer og samarbejde med eksterne konsulenter og forskningsinstitutioner. Kombineret med den mangeårige erfaring med trafikplanlægning, som findes i S-tog har disse nye tiltag forbløffende hurtigt båret frugt, og resultaterne kan allerede nu ses. Artiklen giver et indtryk af nogle af de metoder, der har været anvendt samt en indikation af de opnåede resultater.

description: Der er i samfundet et øget fokus på støjs virkning på mennesker. I opgørelser over støjramte boliger tæller støj fra trafik kraftigt. I Vejle Amts nye støjkortlægning indgår trafikstøj fra det overordnede vejnet, jernbaner og lufthavne og flyvepladser. Desuden indeholder kortlægnin- gen støj fra virksomheder, grusgrave og vindmøller, skydebaner og motorsportsanlæg. Som noget nyt er der i kortlægningen også foretaget en sammenvejning af de forskellige typer støj, så der angives en samlet planlægningszone, hvor der er risiko for gener. Ved at sammenveje forskellige kilder, kan et område, der overholder grænseværdierne for støj for de enkelte ty- per, blive betegnet som belastet, når det påvirkes af flere støjkilder. Metoden til sammenvej- ning er beskrevet. Støjkortlægningen er udført i programmet SoundPlan, og resultaterne vil kunne kombineres med detaljerede beregninger for enkeltanlæg og med kommuners støjplan- lægning. Resultaterne er omsat til MapInfo-filer og tilgængelige på Vejle Amts hjemmeside.

Dansk indsats overfor chiptuning af køretøjer
Creators: name: Iversen, Erik

Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2005

description: Indførelse af skærpede krav til forureningen fra motorkøretøjer har sammen med den ge-nerelle tekniske udvikling medført, at alle nyere motorer er udstyret med elektroniske sty-resystemer. I de senere år har man i stigende omfang konstateret, at der, efter at bilerne er taget i brug, foretages indgreb i motorernes styresystemer (chiptuning) med henblik på at opnå øget motoreffekt og/eller mindsket brændstofforbrug. Chiptuning er mest udbredt på dieselmotorer, der i praksis alle har turbolader, idet det på disse er meget let at opnå mærkbar effektforøgelse (20-30%). For person- og varebiler med dieselmotor er chiptuning alene et spørgsmål om at opnå større motorydelse således, at bilerne får bedre accelerationsevne. For lastbiler og busser kan formålet også være at opnå lavere brændstofforbrug. For benzinbiler er det vanskeligere at opnå en mærkbar ef-fektforøgelse. Dog vil benzinmotorer med turbolader kunne opnå en tilsvarende effekt-forøgelse som dieselmotorer. Chiptuning af dieselbiler vil ofte medføre øget forurening, især med partikler, men i visse situationer også med NOx. Udbredelsen af chiptuning i Danmark og de miljømæssige konsekvenser er blevet under-søgt i et projekt, som Teknologisk Institut i 2003 gennemførte for Miljøstyrelsen. Resulta-terne af denne rapport blev præsenteret ved Trafikdage 2004. Såvel Miljøministeren som Transport- og Energiministeren har overfor folketinget udtrykt betænkelighed ved at de initiativer, der gennemføres i EU med henblik på fx, at få redu-ceret udslippet af partikler fra dieseldrevne køretøjer udhules ved, at nogle bilister efter anskaffelsen af køretøjerne foretager ændringer på motorerne i form af chiptuning. Miljøstyrelsen og Færdselsstyrelsen blev derfor anmodet om, at vurdere mulighederne for at skærpe de danske regler, således at chiptuning kan begrænses mest muligt. Miljøstyrelsen og Færdselsstyrelsen har vurderet forskellige muligheder, som efterfølgen-de er drøftet med berørte parter inden for bilbranchen. Resultatet af drøftelserne forventes at føre til en fælles indstilling fra de to styrelser.. Der vil til Trafikdage 2005 kunne præsenteres en gennemgang af de overvejelser, der har indgået i arbejdet, samt en præsentation af de forslag til danske regelinitiativer, som bl.a. har været drøftet med branchen. Desuden forventes det, at der vil kunne præsenteres et endeligt forslag til danske initiativer med henblik på, at begrænse chiptuning mest mu-ligt, under forudsætning af at arbejdet hermed er afsluttet.

The Electric-Magnetic Framework of Dark Energy
Creators: name: WILCOX, Clyde
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: "Dark Energy Redefined: The Electric-Magnetic Imbalance"

A revolutionary theory that uncovers the true nature of dark energy, challenging the limits of modern cosmology. This theory posits that dark energy isn’t just a mysterious force—it’s electric potential, constantly pushing space outward, driven by an imbalance between electric and magnetic forces. The idea introduces a dynamic, testable framework where the expansion of the universe is determined by the interplay of these two cosmic forces, offering a direct answer to the accelerating expansion and other unsolved cosmic puzzles. Forget the vague explanations of the ΛCDM model—this framework provides a mechanism with tangible predictions, poised to reshape how we understand the universe’s evolution. With the potential to bridge General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory, this paradigm-shifting idea could rewrite the future of physics.

description: When two surfaces slide past each other, energy is mainly dissipated by stick-slip events. Macroscopic stick-slip is usually explained by asperities that come in and out of contact. Herein, we probe stick-slip at the nanoscale at interfaces and polymer coated interfaces by pulling single polymers covalently attached to an AFM cantilever tip laterally over solid substrates in liquid environment. We find two different stick mechanisms, namely desorption stick (DS) and cooperative stick (CS). While DS-slip resembles the velocity dependence of macroscopic stick-slip, CS-slip shows an increase in friction with velocity. For various reasons we anticipate that both stick mechanisms are necessary for a molecular understanding of stick-slip at the interface and interphase.

description: In the present study, different types of gibberellins (GAs) in the culture filtrate (CF) of Photorhabdus temperata M1021 were quantified. The analysis of CF helped in profiling various bioactive GAs: GA1, GA3, GA4, and GA7. Several physiologically inactive GAs: GA9, GA12, and GA20 were detected as well. Siderophore production was also investigated by growing P. temperata M1021 on chrome azurol-S blue agar plates. Furthermore, the strain was inoculated into ‘Waito-C’ (Oryza sativa L.) rice plants, which significantly (P < 0.05) increased plant growth attributes such as plant length, chlorophyll content, and fresh and dry biomass compared with those in controls. In a separate experiment, canola (Brassica napus L.) seeds treated with CF of M1021 were significantly (P < 0.05) accelerated germination rate as well as biomass production. Findings of the present study suggest that the strain M1021 contributes an important role in the plant growth by synthesizing a wide array of bioactive metabolites.

description: In today's sports landscape, there is a prominent emphasis on ensuring a safe environment for athletes yet the critical issue of safeguarding the well-being of sporting officials (i.e., referees) has been vastly overlooked. This oversight is evident not only at the professional level, but also in youth competitive settings. In collaboration with Ontario Soccer, Saskatchewan Soccer Association, and British Columbia Soccer, the experiences of referee abuse were examined in 1183 primarily White (66.8%) referees (80.8%; 17.6% women, and 1.6% gender diverse) working in Ontario, Saskatchewan, or British Columbia. Results indicated that the abuse of referees was common across the three provinces with 34.9% reporting being physically abused and 94.2% reported being verbally abused while officiating. Consistent with initial predictions, referees encountering higher levels of abuse reported more symptoms of depression and anxiety compared to those with lower exposure. Contrary to predictions, women and racialized referees were not abused at higher rates than men and White referees. In fact, White referees reported higher rates of physical abuse than racial/ethnic minority referees. When examining the moderating role of gender, results indicated that gender did not moderate the relation between physical abuse and symptoms of either depression or anxiety. However, gender did moderate the relation between verbal abuse and depression symptoms; there was a significant positive association for both men and women and the effect was stronger in women. Similarly, gender moderated the link between verbal abuse and anxiety symptoms, such that female referees who were verbally abused reported more symptoms of anxiety than male referees who were verbally abused. Race/ethnicity did not moderate the relation between exposure to either physical or verbal referee abuse and symptoms of depression or anxiety. Finally, gender and race/ethnicity were not associated with an increase in abused referees with the exception that men reported higher average physical abuse. Given the high prevalence of abuse reported, there is an urgent need to create programs and establish policies to enhance the safety of Canadian soccer referees.

description: Etter flere års planlegging og forberedelse ble et fullstendig restrukturert bussrutetilbud i Stavangerregionen iverksatt i begynnelsen av 2003. Det nye rutetilbudet kom på plass etter en omfattende anbudsprosess og med utgangspunkt i en ny regional forvaltningsmodell for utviklingen av kollektivtrafikken. Planleggingen for det nye bussrutetilbudet ble tidligere presentert på Trafikdage på Aalborg Universitet (Heinzerling, 2001). Etter to år foreligger et omfattende materiale om effekter og konsekvenser av omleggingen med hensyn til • Utviklingen i passasjergrunnlaget • Utviklingen i kollektivtrafikkens markedsandeler • Utviklingen i kundefornøydheten • Hvordan den nye regionale forvaltningsmodellen, særlig etableringen av et nytt administrasjonsselskap har bidratt til utviklingen mer generelt • Hvordan grensesnittet mellom administrasjonsselskapet og operatørene har utviklet seg med den nye forvaltningsmodellen Formålet med dette paperet er (a) å presentere en analyse av omleggingens effekter og konsekvenser og (b) å belyse erfaringene fra Stavangerregionen i en nasjonal og internasjonal kontekst.

description: Recently discovered strong nucleosomes (SNs) characterized by visibly periodical DNA sequences have been found to concentrate in centromeres of Arabidopsis thaliana and in transient meiotic centromeres of Caenorhabditis elegans. To find out whether such affiliation of SNs to centromeres is a more general phenomenon, we studied SNs of the Mus musculus. The publicly available genome sequences of mouse, as well as of practically all other eukaryotes do not include the centromere regions which are difficult to assemble because of a large amount of repeat sequences in the centromeres and pericentromeric regions. We recovered those missing sequences using the data from MNase-seq experiments in mouse embryonic stem cells, where the sequence of DNA inside nucleosomes, including missing regions, was determined by 100-bp paired-end sequencing. Those nucleosome sequences, which are not matching to the published genome sequence, would largely belong to the centromeres. By evaluating SN densities in centromeres and in non-centromeric regions, we conclude that mouse SNs concentrate in the centromeres of telocentric mouse chromosomes, with ~3.9 times excess compared to their density in the rest of the genome. The remaining non-centromeric SNs are harbored mainly by introns and intergenic regions, by retro-transposons, in particular. The centromeric involvement of the SNs opens new horizons for the chromosome and centromere structure studies.

description: I transportplanlegging brukes ofte samfunnsøkonomiske metoder for å prioritere mellom ulike tiltak. Et omfattende verktøy er utviklet for å vurdere effektene av investeringer. Imidlertid er det i Norge ikke etablert praksis for å inkludere verdien av kvalitetsforbedringer på stasjoner i slike analyser, i alle fall ikke i uttrykt i tids- eller pengeverdi. Det er imidlertid gjort undersøkelser i andre land, og i artikkelen presenteres funn fra Nederland og England. Begge disse bygger på tidligere analyser og peker på at det er mulig å beregne og forsvare en oppnådd pengeverdi som følger av bedringer i stasjonskomfort og standard. Følgelig er det sannsynligvis en større feil å utelukke verdsetting av slike elementer, enn å inkludere verdier. Jernbaneverket har gjort en pilot/kvalitativ undersøkelse av passasjerenes verdsetting av standard på stasjoner, og vil videreføre denne med en kvantitativ undersøkelse (betinget verdsetting). Det kan argumenteres for at slike komfortelementer eller kvalitetsnivåer kan uttrykkes som en faktor i forhold til tidsverdier.

Year: 2005

description: Københavns Kommune har udarbejdet en helhedsplan for den kollektive trafik i København, i forbindelse med overvejelserne om etableringen af en Metroring. Et projektteam bestående af NIRAS, Rambøll og Rambøll Nyvig blev valgt til at undersøge en eventuel letbaneløsning, helt eller delvis forløbende i gadeplan. Opgaven bestod af to dele: Betjeningen af de tætte bydele, hvor letbane eventuelt kan være et alternativ til en Metro i tunne, samt betjeningen af områderne uden for de tætte bydele, hvor en letbane kan være en mulig højklasset betjening - enten i sammenhæng med en Metroring eller en letbanering i de tætte bydele. To andre delprojekter er løst af hhv. TetraPlan (Baggrund, tidligere planer og undersøgelser) og Transportøkonomisk Institut Oslo (Udenlandske erfaringer).

Asymptotic Theory for the QMLE in GARCH-X Models With Stationary and Nonstationary Covariates

Year: 2014
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This article investigates the asymptotic properties of the Gaussian quasi-maximum-likelihood estimators (QMLE’s) of the GARCH model augmented by including an additional explanatory variable—the so-called GARCH-X model. The additional covariate is allowed to exhibit any degree of persistence as captured by its long-memory parameter dx; in particular, we allow for both stationary and nonstationary covariates. We show that the QMLE’s of the parameters entering the volatility equation are consistent and mixed-normally distributed in large samples. The convergence rates and limiting distributions of the QMLE’s depend on whether the regressor is stationary or not. However, standard inferential tools for the parameters are robust to the level of persistence of the regressor with t-statistics following standard Normal distributions in large sample irrespective of whether the regressor is stationary or not. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
Grensekryssende jernbane – et emne som politikerne helst vil glemme
Creators: name: Bjørnland, Dag
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2005

description: Den grensekryssende jernbanetrafikken mellom Oslo og Göteborg og videre sydover har lenge vært i tilbakegang selv om totaltrafikken i korridoren vokser sterkt. Det gjelder både for gods og for personer. Jernbaneverkene prioriterer ikke utbygging og jernbanen står i fare for å bli nedlagt om det ikke tas et krafttak. I Interreg IIIA prosjektet Ny jernbane Oslo - Göteborg står nettopp forutsetningene for og skalaen på nødvendig satsing i fokus. Det blir vist at det er mulig at den grensekryssende jernbanetrafikken igjen skal vokse, men det krever betydelige investeringer i infrastrukturen, langt mer enn den norske og den svenske staten har tenkt å satse i de nærmeste ti år. Det er også nødvendig at både lokale og nasjonale politikere binder seg opp til å gjennomføre prosjektet. Ellers kan man like godt legge ned trafikken over grensen.

description: HUR overtog i 2000 ansvaret for seks lokalbanestrækninger i Hovedstadsregionen fra Staten. Opgaven for HUR har siden da været at revitalisere de efterhånden gamle og delvist nedslidte baner. Udgangs- punktet for dette arbejde er en business case beskrevet i den såkaldte Masterplan. Masterplanen beskæf- tiger sig med alle aspekter omkring lokalbanedriften som f.eks. organisation, økonomi, kontrakter, driftsop- læg m.m. Som led i en opgradering besluttede HUR-rådet at implementere det såkaldte Kvalitetsscenarie, som dels skal sikre højere hastigheder på banerne, nyt materiel og en intensiveret drift. En samlet plan til godt og vel 900 mio. kr. HUR skal på UITP’s verdenskongres i Rom i juni 2005 levere et oplæg om emnet. Tanken er at dette indlæg kan overføres til Trafikdagene i august.

description: A novel pipette-tip extractor of a graphene/poly (vinyl alcohol) cryogel (graphene/PVA) composite sorbent was prepared to preconcentrate carbamate pesticides in environmental water samples before analysis with a gas chromatograph-flame ionization detector (GC-FID). This novel pipette-tip extractor with the graphene/PVA sorbent exhibited a high porosity when observed through a scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Under optimal conditions, using only 1.0 mL of sample and 0.75 mL of eluting solvent, the developed method provided a wide linear range of 10–700 ng mL−1 and 10–500 ng mL−1 with limit of detection (LOD) of 6.40 ± 0.18 and 9.17 ± 0.34 ng mL−1 for carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-yl methylcarbamate) and carbaryl (1-naphthyl methylcarbamate), respectively. The pipette-tip extractor provided high extraction efficiency with high accuracy indicated, by good recoveries in the range of 74.5 ± 4.8% to 119.7 ± 1.6% and 76 ± 15% to 114 ± 19% for carbofuran and carbaryl, respectively. In addition, the fabrication procedure showed a good pipette-tip extractor-to-pipette-tip extractor reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 1.3–9.8% (n = 5). When the developed pipette-tip extractor was applied for the extraction of carbofuran and carbaryl in surface water samples near vegetable plantation areas, 25.9 ± 8.2 ng mL−1 of carbofuran was found, and carbaryl was also detected in concentrations that ranged from 45.0 ± 4.0 to 191 ± 13 ng mL−1.

description: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes consisted of TiO2 and different molecular weight (Mw) of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (i.e., 10, 24, 40, and 360 kDa) were prepared to treat synthesized oily wastewater. The membrane performances were characterized in terms of pure water flux, permeate flux, and oil rejection while their morphological properties were studied using SEM, AFM, and tensile tester. Results show that the PVDF-TiO2 composite membrane prepared from PVP40k was the best performing membrane owing to its promising water flux (72.2 L/m2.h) coupled with good rejection of oil (94%) when tested with 250 ppm oily solution under submerged condition. It is also found that with increasing PVP Mw, the membrane tended to exhibit higher PVP and protein rejection, greater mechanical strength, smaller porosity, and a smoother surface layer. Regarding the effect of pH, the permeate flux of the PVDF-PVP40k membrane was reported to increase with increasing pH from 4 to 7, followed by decrease when the pH was further increased to 10. Increasing oil concentration in the feed solution was reported to negatively affect the water flux of PVDF-PVP40k membrane, owing to the formation of thicker oil layer on the membrane surface which increased water transport resistance. A simple backflushing process on the other hand could retrieve approximately 60% of the membrane original flux without affecting the oil separation efficiency. Based on the findings, the PVDF-TiO2 membrane prepared from PVP40k can be potentially considered for oily wastewater treatment process due to its good combination of permeability and selectivity and reasonably high water recovery rate.

description: Transportmodellen for Bergen TASS 3, ble i 2001 og 2002 benyttet som beslutningsstøtte for konsekvensutredninger av en bybane i Bergensdalen, hovedkorridoren mot sør fra Bergen sentrum. I denne artikkelen presenteres tre forskjellige eksempler på beslutningsprosesser rundt hvilke forutsetninger som inngikk i transportanalysen og diskusjoner som fulgte etter at den var ferdig. Eksemplene illustrerer at forutsetninger i transportanalysen er et resultat av forhandlinger, hvordan usikkerhet knyttet til utviklingen av enkelte variabler påvirker forhandlingene, og hvordan politiske beslutninger legger premisser for forutsetningene. Eksemplene underbygger et behov for å dokumentere, ikke bare benyttede forutsetninger, men også argumentasjoner for å bruke dem.
