An adaptive model predictive approach for automated vehicle control in fallback procedure based on virtual vehicle scheme [PDF]
Purpose – Automated driving systems (ADSs) are being developed to avoid human error and improve driving safety. However, limited focus has been given to the fallback behavior of automated vehicles, which act as a fail-safe mechanism to deal with safety ...

Maximizing traffic flow of automated guided vehicles based on Jamology and applications
This study aims to propose and investigate a theoretical maximum traffic flow method. Furthermore, we propose a merging timing control based on the results obtained from this method, which are verified using actual automated guided vehicles. The results (

Dissipation of stop-and-go waves via control of autonomous vehicles: Field experiments [PDF]
Traffic waves are phenomena that emerge when the vehicular density exceeds a critical threshold. Considering the presence of increasingly automated vehicles in the traffic stream, a number of research activities have focused on the influence of automated

ATF4‐mediated stress response as a therapeutic vulnerability in chordoma
We screened 5 chordoma cell lines against 100+ inhibitors of epigenetic and metabolic pathways and kinases and identified halofuginone, a tRNA synthetase inhibitor. Mechanistically halofuginone induces an integrated stress response, with eIF2alpha phosphorylation, activation of ATF4 and its target genes CHOP, ASNS, INHBE leading to cell death ...
