    Economic Impacts of Rail Transit on Recreational Shore Communities: Case of the North Jersey Coast Line

    No full text
    This study estimated the impact of spending by North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL) riders during summer weekends on the economies of the Jersey Shore communities known for beach-oriented recreational activities. The NJCL is a commuter rail line that provides many workers with access to their workplaces on weekdays throughout the year. The line also provides a large number of recreational visitors from New York City and other parts of New Jersey with direct access to the Jersey Shore communities on summer weekends. To estimate the economic benefits to the shore communities from spending by NJCL riders on summer weekends, this study used a software program (R/ECON) regional input–output (I-O) model developed by the Rutgers Economic Advisory Service of Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. Visitor expenditure data from an onboard survey of NJCL riders were used as model inputs. The survey was conducted during the summer of 2013 and was completed by 2,241 riders returning from the shore area. The R/ECON I-O model provided estimates of economic benefits to the shore communities in terms of jobs, earnings, gross domestic product, state taxes, and local taxes. The model also generated return-on investment multipliers for these variables.

    This study estimates the impacts of the North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL) summer weekend riders’ spending on the economies of the Jersey shore communities known for beach-oriented recreational activities. The NJCL is a commuter rail line that provides access for a large number of workers to their work places on weekdays throughout the year. However, the line also provides direct access for a large number of recreational visitors from New York City and other parts of New Jersey to the Jersey shore communities on summer weekends. To estimate the economic benefits for the shore communities from the spending of the NJCL summer weekend riders, this study uses a regional input-output (I-O) model developed by the Rutgers Economic Advisory Service (R/ECON™) of Rutgers University. Visitor expenditure data from an onboard survey of NJCL riders were used as model inputs. The survey, conducted during the summer of 2013, was completed by a total of 2,241 riders who were returning from the shore area. The R/ECON™ I-O model provided estimates of economic benefits to the shore communities in terms of jobs, earnings, gross domestic product, state taxes, and local taxes. The model also generated return-on-investment multipliers for these variables.

    Energetics of ion competition in the DEKA selectivity filter of neuronal sodium channels

    No full text
    The energetics of ionic selectivity in the neuronal sodium channels is studied. A simple model constructed for the selectivity filter of the channel is used. The selectivity filter of this channel type contains aspartate (D), glutamate (E), lysine (K), and alanine (A) residues (the DEKA locus). We use Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations to compute equilibrium binding selectivity in the selectivity filter and to obtain various terms of the excess chemical potential from a particle insertion procedure based on Widom's method. We show that K+ ions in competition with Na+ are efficiently excluded from the selectivity filter due to entropic hard sphere exclusion. The dielectric constant of protein has no effect on this selectivity. Ca2+ ions, on the other hand, are excluded from the filter due to a free energetic penalty which is enhanced by the low dielectric constant of protein

    AbstractThe data described are related to the article entitled “Sequence Analysis of Meq oncogene among Indian isolates of Marek׳s Disease Herpesvirus” M. Gupta, D. Deka, Ramneek, 2016. Seven meq genes of Ludhiana Marek׳s disease virus (MDV) field isolates were PCR amplified by using proof reading Platinum Pfx DNA polymerase enzyme, sequenced and then analyzed for the distinct polymorphisms and point mutations. The sequences were named as LDH 1758, LDH 2003, LDH 2483, LDH 2614, LDH 2700, LDH 2929 and LDH 3262. At this point, their deduced Meq amino acid sequences were compared with GenBank available already sequenced meq genes worldwide in their deduced amino acid form to study their identity/similarity with each other

    Human vs. Deep Neural Network Performance at a Leader Identification Task

    No full text
    Control of robotic swarms through control over a leader(s) has become the dominant approach to supervisory control over these largely autonomous systems. Resilience in the face of attrition is one of the primary advantages attributed to swarms yet the presence of leader(s) makes them vulnerable to decapitation. Algorithms which allow a swarm to hide its leader are a promising solution. We present a novel approach in which neural networks, NNs, trained in a graph neural network, GNN, replace conventional controllers making them more amenable to training. Swarms and an adversary intent of finding the leader were trained and tested in 4 phases: 1-swarm to follow leader, 2-adversary to recognize leader, 3-swarm to hide leader from adversary, and 4-swarm and adversary compete to hide and recognize the leader. While the NN adversary was more successful in identifying leaders without deception, humans did better in conditions in which the swarm was trained to hide its leader from the NN adversary. The study illustrates difficulties likely to emerge in arms races between machine learners and the potential role humans may play in moderating them
