China’s Inevitable Speed Bump

2021
This chapter will cover why China’s economic growth is slowing, and also why this is said to be an important juncture. Should we artificially stimulate economic growth or honestly, and stoically accept these new growth trends? In addition, what kind of policies should be adopted? These questions are not merely the focus of this chapter, but of interest

Transcriptional speed bumps revealed in high resolution

Nature, 2018
The enzyme RNA polymerase II, which transcribes DNA, pauses early in transcription and awaits signals to continue. High-resolution structures reveal how it is stopped and efficiently restarted. High-resolution structures of paused and active RNA polymerase II.

Speed bump detection system by autothresholding method

2015 23nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2015
Traffic Sign Recognition Systems help drivers by classifying the traffic signs with some dedicated hardware. In this study, color segmentation and pattern recognition algorithms are developed for detecting speed bump traffic sign. For detection, standard featured mobile cell phone camera is used and this study is concentrated on especially high noisy ...

Do speed bumps really decrease traffic speed? An Italian experience

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2001
Italy introduced the extensive use of speed bumps only in 1990, in an attempt to limit the high number of fatalities involving pedestrians in urban streets caused by the high speed of vehicles. In many countries, such devices have been the subject of careful investigations (in order to assess their effectiveness and disadvantages for the traffic ...

Effects of Speed Bumps and Humps on Motorcycle Speed Profiles

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
In developed countries, the use of speed humps and bumps have evolved from extensive research and testing which been properly designed and standardized. On the contrary in developing countries, no systematic and scientific studies have been carried out on that environment, especially the study on the effects that the motorcyclists response to the humps

The influence of speed bumps on perceived annoyance

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
Recently, several attempts to use speed bumps as a noise reduction method have been made. Objective analyses of the effect of speed bumps on noise have been shown to result in a rather small reduction of noise. In the present paper the influence of speed bumps on perceived annoyance is investigated.

Caution! International Speed Bump Ahead

SMTA International, 2000
ABSTRACT Outsourcing, the strategic use of outside resources to perform activities traditionally handled in-house, is revolutionizing the electronics industry. Contract electronics manufacturing (CEM) is involved in producing almost 20 percent of all the electronics on the market today, with revenues projected to ...
