The effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed method is demonstrated by rigorous proofs and microscopic traffic simulations.While nonlinear oscillators have been widely used for central pattern generators to produce basic rhythmic signals for robot locomotion control, methods to shape and regulate the signal waveform without changing the…[Read more]

Use of alcohol increased the odds of perpetrating all forms of violence. Strengths were significantly related to lower perpetration at Time 1 but not Time 2. Positive social norms reduced perpetration at both time points. The findings suggest adolescent perpetration of bullying, harassment, and sexual violence is lower in the presence of positive…[Read more]

0 vs 68.9 years) and had less comorbidities. After propensity-score matching, in 2446 well-matched pairs, there was no significant difference in 30-day mortality (1.6% vs 1.8%, p=0.43) between MAG and SAG. Over a median and maximum follow-up of 5.0 and 11.0 years, respectively, MAG was associated with greater survival (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.75 to…[Read more]

o the parent compounds. Based on these results, we conclude that natural wetlands play a role as an eco-friendly reactor for degrading SOCs to form numerous TPs that are lower risk than the parent compounds.Constructed wetlands (CWs) are an important component of the urban matrix and play an essential role in the restoration of urban ecological…[Read more]
