Quick response (QR) to passenger needs is a key objective for advanced public transportation systems (APTS), and it has become increasingly important for contemporary metropolitan bus operations to gain a competitive advantage over private transportation. This paper presents a real-time control methodology for demand-responsive bus operations that respond quickly to passenger needs. The proposed method primarily involves two levels of functionality: (1) short-term forecasting of passenger demands using time-series prediction models, and (2) identification of service strategies coupled with the associated bus service segments using fuzzy clustering technologies in response to variances in passenger demand attributes and traffic conditions. The proposed bus operations method identifies the demand-responsive vehicle service strategies primarily according to the predicted up-to-date attributes of passengers' demands, rather than deterministic passenger arrival rates, which were generally used in previous literature. In addition, the variation of traffic conditions along bus lines is considered in the proposed method. Results from numerical studies using real data of passengers' demands, including passenger volume at each bus stop and the passenger origin-destination (O-D) patterns, are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for real-world applications.

This paper presents a multi-layer demand-responsive logistics control strategy for alleviating, effectively and efficiently, the bullwhip effect of a supply chain. Utilizing stochastic optimal control methodology, the proposed method estimates the time-varying demand-oriented logistics system states, which originate directly and indirectly downstream to the targeted member of a supply chain, and associate these estimated demands with estimates of different time-varying weights under the goal of systematically optimizing the logistical performance of chain members. In addition, an experimental design is conducted where the proposed method is evaluated with the two specified criteria. Numerical results indicate that the proposed method permits alleviating, to a great extent, the bullwhip effect in comparison with the existing logistics management strategies. Furthermore, the methodology presented in this study is expected to help address issues regarding the uncertainty and complexity of the distortion of demand-related information existing broadly among supply chain members for an efficient supply chain coordination.

The ultrafast relaxation dynamics of two rotation-restricted (azobenzeno-2S-phane and azobenzeno-4S-phane) and one rotation-free (4,4'-dimethylazobenzene) azobenzene derivatives were investigated using femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion on both S-1(n,pi*) and S-2(pi,pi*) excitations. On S-2 excitation, pulse-limited kinetics with a decay coefficient of similar to 100 fs corresponding to ultrafast S-2-> S-1 relaxation is found to be common for all molecules under investigation regardless of the molecular structure. This indicates that a direct rotational. relaxation on the S-2 surface is unfavorable. On S-1 excitation, we observed biphasic fluorescence decay with a femtosecond component attributed to the decay of the Franck-Condon state prepared by excitation and a picosecond component attributed to the deactivation of the relaxed molecule on the S, surface. This picosecond component is slowed by at least a factor of 2 for the rotation-restricted 2S-bridged molecule compared to that of the rotation-free molecule; for the even stronger rotation-restricted azobenzeno-4S-phane, the decrease is by a factor of 10. These differences in deactivation suggest that the relaxed states and probably the trajectories for rotation-free and rotation-restricted molecules are different on the S, surface, which should be important for the quantum yield of photoisomerization.

An energy transport model coupled with the density gradient method as quantum mechanical corrections is proposed and numerically investigated. This new model is comprehensive in both physical and mathematical aspects. It is capable of describing hot electron transport as well as significant quantum mechanical effects for advanced devices with dimensions comparable to the de Broglie wave-length. The model is completely self-adjoint for all state variables and hence provides many appealing mathematical features such as global convergence, fast iterative solution, and highly parallelizable. Numerical simulations on diode and MOSFET with the gate length down to 34 nm using this model have been performed and compared with that using the classical transport model. It is shown that the I V characteristics of this short-channel device is significantly corrected by the density-gradient equations with current drive reduced by up to 60% comparing with that of the classical model along. Moreover, a 2D quantum layer, which is only a fraction of the length scale of inversion layer, is also effectively captured by this new model with very fine mesh near the interface produced by an adaptive finite element method.

The tube number density of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown over the nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template can be directly controlled by adjusting the CH4/H-2 feed ratio during the CNT growth. We ascribe the variation of the tube density as a function of the CH4/H-2 feed ratio to the kinetic competition between outgrowth of cobalt-catalyzed CNTs from the AAO pore bottom and deposition of the amorphous carbon (a-C) overlayer on the AAO template. A pore-filling ratio of 18% to 82% for the nanotubes overgrown out of nanopores on the AAO template can be easily achieved by adjusting the CH4/H-2 feed ratio. Enhanced field emission properties of CNTs were obtained by lowering the tube density on AAO. However, at a high CH4 concentration, a-C by-product deposit on the CNT surface can degrade the field emission property due to a high energy barrier and significant potential drop at the emission site.

We report results of two-color resonant four-wave mixing experiments on highly predissociated levels of the methylthio (or thiomethoxy) radical CH3S in its first excited electronic state A (2)A(1). Following photolysis of jet-cooled dimethyl disulfide at 248 nm, the spectra were measured with a hole-burning scheme in which the probe laser excited specific rotational transitions in band 3(3). The spectral simplification afforded by the two-color method allows accurate determination of line positions and homogeneous linewidths, which are reported for the C-S stretching states 3(v)(v=3-7) and combination states 1(1)3(v)(v=0-2), 2(1)3(v)(v=3-6), and 1(1)2(1)3(v)(v=0,1) involving the symmetric CH3 stretching (nu(1)) mode and the CH3 umbrella (nu(2)) mode. The spectra show pronounced mode specificity, as the homogeneous linewidth of levels with similar energies varies up to two orders of magnitude; nu(3) is clearly a promoting mode for dissociation. Derived vibrational wave numbers omega(1)('), omega(2)('), and omega(3)(') of the A state agree satisfactorily with ab initio predictions.

An external ear model based on a three-dimensional array beamformer is presented to synthesize the head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). The array coefficients are calculated by matching the measured HRTFs with a frequency-domain template. In light of the characteristics of human hearing, a non-uniform sampling technique is also devised to reduce the problem to a manageable size. The model-matching problem is then solved, by using singular value decomposition procedure. Numerical simulations are carried out to investigate various array configurations in relation to approximation performance. A subjective experiment of sound localization is undertaken to demonstrate the validity of the proposed technique. From the results, the proposed beamformer-based technique proves to be an effective method for modeling the HRTFs. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Recently, Yang and Shieh proposed two password authentication schemes by employing smart cards. One is a timestamp-based password authentication scheme and the other is a nonce-based password authentication scheme. In 2002, Chan and Cheng pointed Out that Yang and Shieh's timestamp-based password authentication scheme was vulnerable to the forgery attack. However, in 2003, Sun and Yell pointed Out that Chan and Cheng's attack was unreasonable. At the same time, Sun and Yell pointed out that Yang and Shieh's password authentication schemes were still Vulnerable to the forgery attack. In this paper, we shall improve Yang and Shieh's schemes to resist Sun and Yell's attack. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
