Assessing Safety Risks and Vulnerabilities of Variable Speed Limits to Cyber Intrusions
No full textInternational audienceWith the rapid expansion of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for traffic management, the cyber-physical security of smart transportation infrastructures is becoming increasingly crucial. This paper investigates the impact of intentional disruptions on variable speed limit (VSL) signs within traffic networks. We present a threat model to identify vulnerabilities in the VSL communication network and potential access points for attackers. An analytical accident model was developed, and various disruption scenarios were simulated using a case study of Highway 1 in British Columbia, Canada, in SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility) to assess the potential for crashes and safety issues resulting from VSL disruptions. Surrogate Safety Measures (SSM) were employed as key measures of safety concerns. Our findings highlight notable risks, including up to 56 additional conflicts, posed by these intentional disruptions. Various mitigation strategies are proposed to enhance traffic safety and resilience against VSL manipulation
A research about the real author of Marzbanname Tabari
No full textMarzbanname is the name of a book which includes narrations and allegories and marzban wrote it in old tabari language. Mohammad Ibn Ghazi maltivi in 598 A.H. and sadoddin varavini in the first half of seventh century translated it to farsi. Onsorolma' ali keykavos, the writer of Ghaboosname and Ibn Esfandyar, the writer of tarikhe – Tabarestam believe that marzban ibne Rostam ibne shervin (the 13th king of Bavandiya kiyosiye chain) in the real writer of marzbanname. But sa'daddin varavini believes that marzban ibne shervin (shervin = 5th king of Bavandiye kiyosiye) is the writer of it. Reza Gholi khane – hedayat knows marzban- Ibn – e – rostam as the outher of marzban-e-Deylami in some other books. Among the contemporaries, shefer knows marzban-ibn –e-rostam-ibn –e- sorkhab – ibn – e- Gharan as the author of marzban name, but Allame Ghazvini rejects this hierarchical order. Allame Dehkhoda, Esmaeil mahjouri, Ardeshir Barzegar and Hossein Eslami believe that marzban- ibn- e- Rostam wrote maezban name. mohammad Roshan reject all and say that there is no book named marzban name tabari.This article believes that varavini's speech about the writer of marzbanname is correct but not of onsorolma' ali keykavoos and ibne Esfandyar's speech
A Study on Cultural Capital and High-Risk Behaviors of College Students in Iran
No full textNaseri S. A Study on Cultural Capital and High-Risk Behaviors of College Students in Iran. Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences. 2018;9(2):185-193.The term cultural capital has gained a widespread popularity as an analogy with economic capital, and capitalism rules and debates since the early 1970s. Essentially, cultural capital is not inherited, yet it is achieved through personal endeavors. Acquisition of cultural capital demands an incessant and hard work in addition to lifelong learning and acculturation. Hence, the present study examines the relationship between forms of cultural capital and high-risk behaviors of Iranian college students. The impact of each form on the incidence of high-risk behaviors is measured. A survey consisting demographical items, and items assessing cultural capital and tendency towards high-risk behaviors are applied. The results suggest a meaningfully negative relationship between sub-types of cultural capital and high-risk behaviors among undergraduate students in Iran. So, the author concluded that with an increase in cultural capital and the sub-types, the incidence of high-risk behaviors decreases consequently
P–N Junction Passivation in Kesterite Solar Cells by Use of Solution-Processed TiO2 Layer
No full textIn this work, we used a solution-processed TiO2 layer between Cu2ZnSnSe4 and CdS buffer layer to reduce the recombination at the p-n junction. Introducing the TiO2 layer showed a positive impact on VOC but fill factor and efficiency decreased. Using a KCN treatment, we could create openings in the TiO2 layer, as confirmed by transmission electron microscopy measurements. Formation of these openings in the TiO2 layer led to the improvement of the short-circuit current, fill factor, and the efficiency of the modified solar cells.This work was supported in part by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant 640868, in part by the Flemish government, Department Economy, Science and Innovation, in part by the FEDER funds through the COMPETE 2020 Programme, and in part by the National Funds through FCT - Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology under the project UID/CTM/50025/2013.

Modelling walking and cycling accessibility and mobility: The effect of network configuration and occupancy on spatial dynamics of active mobility
No full textPurpose: The most sustainable forms of urban mobility are walking and cycling. These modes of transportation are the most environmental friendly, the most economically viable and the most socially inclusive and engaging modes of urban transportation. To measure and compare the effectiveness of alternative pedestrianization or cycling infrastructure plans, the authors need to measure the potential flows of pedestrians and cyclists. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach: The authors have developed a computational methodology to predict walking and cycling flows and local centrality of streets, given a road centerline network and occupancy or population density data attributed to building plots. Findings: The authors show the functionality of this model in a hypothetical grid network and a simulated setting in a real town. In addition, the authors show how this model can be validated using crowd-sensed data on human mobility trails. This methodology can be used in assessing sustainable urban mobility plans. Originality/value: The main contribution of this paper is the generalization and adaptation of two network centrality models and a trip-distribution model for studying walking and cycling mobility.Design InformaticsSupport Architectur

CHOREOGRAPHIC DEVICES 1
No full textChoreography is no longer simply the art of making dances: complex models of the choreographic are increasingly tasked to investigate and animate the intersecting spatial, corporeal, affective and informational dimensions of being entangled with the world.
What kind of choreographic arrangements can we compose to put diverse thinkers and practitioners in relation to one another? What kinds of time spaces can be plotted, imagined and enacted, when the symposium itself is choreographed and takes shape as a sequence of sessions, each brought to life by different hosts? Through contributions and interventions by over 30 international protagonists from across an expanded ecology of practices, this multi-format symposium speculates on the affordances of choreographic (re-)arrangements and their complex forms of co-production, and tests how organisational formats, material assemblages, and modes of being alongside each other, might be choreographed otherwise.
Choreographic Devices assembles contributors operating across multiple disciplinary boundaries, including Murat Adash (artist), Edwina Ashton (artist), D. Graham Burnett (teacher, writer, interdisciplinary maker), Ofri Cnaani (artist), Augusto Corrieri (artist), Critical Interruptions (Diana Damian Martin + Bojana Janković) (artists), Lou Forster (art historian, curator), keyon gaskin (artist), Martin Hargreaves (dramaturg, writer, performer), Vlatka Horvat (artist), Lenio Kaklea (choreographer, dancer, writer), Sarah Keenan (writer, theorist), André Lepecki (performance studies theorist, curator), Jason Edward Lewis (digital media theorist, poet, software designer), Raimundas Malasauskas (silk painter), Tavi Meraud (artist), Samaneh Moafi (architect, investigator), Rebecca Moss (artist), Harun Morrison (artist, writer), Sandra Noeth (body theorist, curator), Lara Pawson (writer), Daniela Perazzo (dance and performance theorist), Stamatia Portanova (theorist), Filipa Ramos (writer, curator), Irit Rogoff (educator, theorist), Florian Roithmayr (artist), Georgia Sagri (artist), Edgar Schmitz (artist), SERAFINE1369 (artist), Noémie Solomon (theorist, curator), Matthias Sperling (artist, choreographer, performer), Starhawk (author, permaculture designer, teacher, activist), Soap Bubble (complex mathematical problem), and Arkadi Zaides (choreographer)
Feeling Safe in Urban Estates: Learning from Riverwood, Sydney
No full textFeeling safe is a necessity for quality of life. Conversely, feeling unsafe has a substantial impact on residents’ quality of life. How does design impact on the perception of safety, and moreover, how can design reduce incidences of crime? Safety is influenced by many social, economic, and wellbeing factors that affect residents’ experiences of their built environments. Neighbourhood and urban design – which are liable to be affected by the perceived quality of local spaces – are likely to be significant factors influencing broader residents’ feelings of safety. To these ends, this paper reviews recent literature on how design processes have influenced perceived and actual safety in public spaces. This paper focuses on different aspects of urban safety, including planning, management, and design in a mix-tenure neighbourhood. The paper selected Riverwood, a social housing renewal neighbourhood located in southwest Sydney, as the study area. Data collection methods used by the author for this paper include direct-observation and a cross-sectional survey of 62 households, aimed at shedding light on what are residents' preferences to improve safety perception in public spaces. The paper finds that, for greater safety of neighbourhoods in urban estates, design approaches need toconsider both physical and social-cultural factors; and that to achieve this, practical and realistic mechanisms are required to improve existing estates and to design future estates better. The findings of the study reveal that, addressing the concerns revolving around the trust-deficit in the community, will be the cornerstone to promote residents feeling of safety
A Subthreshold Source-Coupled Logic based Time-Domain Comparator for SAR ADC based Cardiac Front-Ends
No full textLow-voltage and low-power front-end design is required for the safe and long-term monitoring of cardiac signals. To address the low-voltage challenge, this paper presents a subthreshold source-coupled logic (STSCL) based time-domain comparator designed in 180 nm CMOS process technology. At a low supply voltage of 0.8 V, the STSCL time-domain comparator consumes 2.3 μW at 1 MHz. Using 4 stages, the input referred noise and the offset of the comparator are 32 μVrms and 1.8 mV, respectively.Bio-Electronic
