Simulation for selecting road works equipment

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2015
Efficiency of road works is conditioned by selection of machines and synchronizing their operations. Modelling these works using queuing theory allows the planner to conduct an in-depth analysis of the system’s operation to find the best machine types and their optimal number. For simple cases, analytic formulas are used to calculate such parameters as

Energy Management Strategy Based on V2X Communications and Road Information for a Connected PHEV and Its Evaluation Using an IDHIL Simulator

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Conventional energy management strategies (EMSs) of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) only utilize in-vehicle information, such as an acceleration pedal, velocity, acceleration, engine RPM, state of charge (SOC), and radar.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...
