FIELD INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECTS ON OPERATING SPEED CAUSED BY TRAPEZOIDAL HUMPS

open access: yes, 2011
The most effective way to reduce vehicle speed on urban low volume roads, such as residential streets, is the installation of traffic calming systems such as speed humps and tables.

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Vibration levels exposed at speed bump and speed hump transitions

open access: yes, 2023
Trafik işletiminde aşırı hızın yarattığı olumsuz etkileri ortadan kaldırmaya yönelik kullanılan yöntemlerin tümü hız yönetimi olarak isimlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada, hız yönetiminin önemli araçlarından olan hız kesici tümsekler (HKT), üzerlerinden geçişlerde sürücü ve yolculara sağladığı konforsuzluk açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Değerlendirmelerde, 5

The distance between speed humps and pedestrian crossings [Elektronisk resurs] : does it matter?

open access: yes, 2008
Speed humps are a common physical measure installed at pedestrian crossings to reduce vehicle speeds and therefore improve the safety of pedestrians at the crossing.The aim of this study was to determine whether variations in distance between speed humps

Humanized immune system animal models and their recent applications

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this review, we provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the current state of humanized immune system animal model research. We discuss the variety of techniques used to produce humanized mice with their respective strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the advantages and limitations of these models, including issues with incomplete immune ...

Stability and Control of Car Dynamics with a Quarter Model via a Novel Simple Harmonic Hump under External Force

open access: yesMathematics
Effects of the road, such as speed bumps, can significantly affect a car’s stability. This study focuses on how a quarter-car model is affected by a basic harmonic speed hump and how Cubic Negative Velocity Control (CNVC) is used to control the amplitude
