PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND FLEET REQUIREMENTS OF AUTOMATED DEMAND-RESPONSIVE TRANSPORT SYSTEMS AS AN URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICE

Performance analysis and fleet requirements of automated demand-responsive transport systems as an urban public transport service

The introduction of public transport services by fully automated vehicles can potentially change the way public transit services will be operated, as they allow shifting from rigid scheduled and route-bound services towards flexible, demand-responsive services.This study examines the potential performance of an Automated Demand Responsive Transport

Vitellogenin-like A-associated shifts in social cue responsiveness regulate behavioral task specialization in an ant.

Division of labor and task specialization explain the success of human and insect societies.Social insect colonies are characterized by division of labor, with workers specializing in brood care early and foraging later in life.Theory posits that this task switching requires shifts in responsiveness to task-related cues, yet experimental evidence i

A prospective randomized controlled trial comparing the immediate post-operative complications between open and semi-open hemorrhoidectomy

Introduction: Hemorrhoids are one of the most common anorectal pathologies encountered by general surgeons during their practice.Open technique as described by Milligan and Morgan and closed technique as described by Ferguson are the most widely used.A semi-open technique that has lesser complications than the conventional open hemorrhoidectomy has

Analysis of polymorphisms, promoter methylation, and mRNA expression profile of maternal and placental P53 and P21 genes in preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women

Abstract Background Preeclampsia (PE), as a multisystem disorder, is associated with maternal hypertension and proteinuria.Apoptosis seems to be involved in the pathophysiology of PE, although its precise pathogenic mechanisms are not well established.In this study, we aimed to identify the association between maternal TP53-rs1042522, P21-rs1801270
