Optimizing Multi-Terminal Customized Bus Service With Mixed Fleet

IEEE Access, 2020
The customized bus (CB) transit is recognized as an effective transportation mode offering more flexible and demand-responsive service than traditional bus transit with fixed route and schedule, especially during the peak hours. The novelty of this study

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Personalized Demand-Responsive Transit Service [PDF]

, 2004
Providing easy access to the public transit service is the goal of the California transit agencies. Many travelers cannot take an express transit because they often cannot park and ride. Smart DRT (demand responsive transit) Feeder is a system that collects transit riders from neighborhoods and takes them to transit stations. This system will use APTS (

Novel model for integrated demand-responsive transit service considering rail transit schedule

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2022
<abstract> <p>This research aims to develop an optimization model for optimizing demand-responsive transit (DRT) services. These services can not only direct passengers to reach their nearest bus stops but also transport them to connecting stops on major transit systems at selected bus stops.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Flex-Route Transit for Smart Cities: A Reinforcement Learning Approach to Balance Ridership and Performance

Smart Cities
A major challenge for modern transit systems relying on traditional fixed-route designs is providing broad accessibility to users. Flex-route transit can enhance accessibility in low-density areas, since it combines the directness of fixed-route transit ...

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

International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2018
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 ...
