Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Stochastic Properties into Traffic Flow Modeling: A Stimulus-Response ApproachKonate N’Golo, Mark Kimathi, Emile DanhoHighway traffic congestion, characterized by its inherent instability, has been extensively studied using deterministic models, providing valuable insights. However, these models often overlook the stochastic nature of driver behavior, a key factor that significantly impacts traffic flow. Recognizing this, a car-following model with discretionary lane changes to analyze their effect on traffic dynamics was introduced. While the mathematical results were … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 19 Dec 2024 · 7,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransverse Velocity, Transverse Boundary Shear Stress and Flow Deviation in Meandering Open ChannelsYoussef Ismail HafezThis study presents a novel approach for characterizing the mechanics of flow in mildly meandering open channels, specifically focusing on the development of a new vertical distribution equation for transverse velocity. Unlike existing equations in the literature that rely on complex logarithmic or integral forms or infinite series forms, which are impractical for hydraulic engineers, the proposed equation employs ordinary … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,058 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredicting Microbe-Drug Association based on Similarity and Semi-Supervised LearningLingzhi Zhu, Jun Wang, Guixiang Li et al.Increasing clinic evidences have showed that microbial communities play important roles in human health and disease. Predicting hidden microbe-drug associations can be helpful in understanding the microbe-drug association mechanisms in clinical treatment, drug discovery, combinations and repositioning. Some computational methods were proposed to predict the associations of microbes and drugs. However, the prediction performance of these methods needs to be … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2021 · 7,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Multi-Criteria Optimization Approach to Cam Curve Design Combining Different Splines Given by Fixed and Adjustable CheckpointsLéo Moussafir, Vigen ArakelianThis study proposes a multi-criteria design optimization of cam mechanisms. This approach is based on the multistage interconnection of different tools: MATLAB, ADAMS, and mode frontier. It consists of three main issues: (i) The polynomial representation of splines given by checkpoints defining the specific motion of the follower; (ii) The connection of these splines by different degrees of fitting in … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2023 · 6,646 accessesView PDFCite

A variety of reasons may lead to withdrawal from a study and produce two different missingness mechanisms, namely, missing at random and non-ignorable dropouts. Nevertheless, none of these mechanisms is tenable in most studies. In addition, it may be that not all of dropouts are nonignorable. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 Apr 2014 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
