Traffic volume is one of the fundamental types of data that have been used for the traffic control and planning process. Forecasting needs and efforts for various applications will be increased with the deployment of advanced traffic management systems. With the importance of the short-term traffic forecasting task, numerous techniques have been utilized to improve its accuracy. The use of the subset autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model for short-term traffic volume forecasting

Abstract With the miniaturization of personal wearable electronics, considerable effort has been expended to develop high‐performance flexible/stretchable energy storage devices for powering integrated active devices. Supercapacitors can fulfill this role owing to their simple structures, high power density, and cyclic stability. Moreover, a high electrochemical performance can be achieved with flexible/stretchable supercapacitors, whose applications can be expanded through the introduction of a

This paper describes new techniques for simulating the DC and steady-state thermal characteristics of integrated circuits using the incomplete Choleski conjugate gradient (ICCG) method, and transient electrothermal performance using an efficient macromodeling method based on asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE). Results on several benchmark circuits show orders of magnitude reductions in CPU time and memory with accuracy comparable to that of the traditional techniques.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://w

Cold-formed square tube sections are one of the most efficient sections for compression members and bracing members. According to past studies rectangular tubular bracing members with large width-thickness ratios (yet within the limits specified by current codes) showed early fractures due to local buckling when subjected to large cyclic deformation. Thus, square tubular bracing members can also have such a problem despite their structural efficiency. There are two possible ways to avoid such ea

Abstract A commonly used strategy to impose deformability on conductive materials is the prestrain method, in which conductive materials are placed on prestretched elastic substrates and relaxed to create wavy or wrinkled structures. However, 1D metallic nanowire (NW) networks typically result in out‐of‐plane buckling defects and NW fractures, due to their rigid and brittle nature and nonuniform load transfer to specific points of NW. To resolve these problems, an alternative method is proposed

As practical interest in stretchable electronics increases for future applications in wearables, healthcare, and robotics, the demand for electrical interconnects with high electrical conductivity, durability, printability, and adhesion is growing. Despite the high electrical conductivity and stretchability of most previous interconnects, they lack stable conductivity against strain and adhesion to stretchable substrates, leading to a limitation for their practical applications. Herein, we propo

Using direct polymer reaction of poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (SMA), a synthesis of copolymer of styrene and N-aryl succinimide (SMI) has been investigated. SMI copolymers were synthesized from SMA copolymers by a concerted two-step reaction, which consisted of the condensation reaction (step 1) of SMA with aromatic amine to prepare a precursor, succinamic acid, for imide formation and the cyclodehydration reaction (step 2) of succinamic acid. In this article, the application of Searle's pr

Abstract In the melt intercalation of cation‐exchange clay, mixtures of montmorillonite and poly(styrene‐ co ‐acrylonitrile) (SAN) with various acrylonitrile contents were studied to examine the effect of specific interaction. When organic molecules with hydroxyl groups were used as intercalants for the clay, the amount of SAN penetrating the gallery of the layered structure of the clay and the corresponding increase in the gallery height occurred at a much higher rate because of the attractive

The temperature-dependent deformation behavior of amorphous thin films of poly(1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) (PCT), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and their copolymers was examined with variation of temperature and cyclohexylene linkage content by transmission electron microscopy. When subject to uniaxial tension, thin films of PET homopolymers and copolymers containing low content of cyclohexylene linkage showed a tendency of failure by crazing, whereas a transition from craz

The breath of nucleic acid testing in diagnostic applications continues to expand. In this study we applied common diagnostic targets to a novel digital real-time PCR methodology. It performed comparably to the established dPCR method with distinctive advantages and disadvantages for implementing in laboratories. These rapidly developing dPCR systems can be applied to benefit the accurate and sensitive nucleic acid testing for various clinical areas.

A fully integrated BiCMOS continuous-time filter for video signal processing applications is presented. It incorporates an input clamping circuit, a third-order equalizer, a fifth-order elliptic filter with sinx/x correction, and a 75-/spl Omega/ driver. The architectures of the input and output amplifiers as well as the filter and the equalizer are chosen based on the extensive study of circuit structures and Monte Carlo simulation to meet the linearity requirement for the broadcast-quality vid
