It is found that at low density the satisfaction rate depends on the maximal velocity. However, the behavior of the satisfaction rate as a function of the coefficient of variance is independent of the maximal velocity. This is in good agreement with empirical results obtained by Lipshtat [Phys. Rev. E 79 066110 (2009)]. Furthermore, our numerical result demonstrates that at low density the satisfaction rate takes higher values, whereas the coefficient of variance is close to zero. The coefficient of variance increases with increasing density, while the satisfaction rate decreases to zero. Moreover, we have also shown that, at low density the coefficient variance depends strongly on the probability of overtaking.展开更多

A novel method of control based on desired state programming was presented, which used the technique of fuzzy neural network. The structure of fuzzy neural network was constructed according to the moving characters and the back propagation algorithm was deduced. Simulation experiments were conducted on general detection remotely operated vehicle. The results show that there is a great improvement in response and precision over traditional control, and good robustness to the model’s uncertainty and external disturbance, which has theoretical and practical value.展开更多

An outstanding feature of the play is the wide use of symbolism. Symbols can be seen everywhere and even all the symbols in the play are con nected with the protagonist Blanche DuBois. Williams applies symbolism throughout the play to make Blanche's tragic fate more vivid to the readers. Her tragic fate lies in her clinging to illusion, thus she is bound to be abandoned by the harsh reality. There fore, the thesis attempts to give a comprehensive analysis of some specific symbols: symbols of illusion represented by the Chinese paper lantern and a paper moon, and symbol of reality represented by the light to further illustrate Blanche's tragically symbolic fate.展开更多
