The characteristics of action of recovering from erroneous driving condition underlying road traffic accident or incident scenarios is quantitatively analyzed, the model of action of recovering from erroneous driving condition is set up according to the identification of erroneous driving condition and the measurement of correction from erroneous driving condition. And then, the probability of action of recovering from erroneous driving condition has been measured based on a revised decision tree. The measure process uses a combination of test data and subjective judgments of driving behavior. It can provide a very helpful theoretical basis for the further analysis of driving behavior in road traffic system.展开更多

In this scheme, the secret messages can be encoded by employing four two-particle unitary operations and directly decoded by utilizing the corresponding measurements in Bell basis or single-particle basis. Comparing with most previous DSQC protocols, the present scheme has a high total efficiency, which comes up to 50%. Apart from this, it has still the advantages of high capacity as each W state can carry two bits of secret information, and high intrinsic efficiency because almost all the instances are useful. Furthermore, the security of this communication can be ensured by the decoy particle checking technique and the two-step transmitting idea.展开更多

Nowadays, the research and application of chaotic synchronization have become a hot topic and one of the development directions is for the research on chaos. In this paper, a universal nonlinear stateobserver is presented for a class of universal chaotic systems to realize the chaotic synchronization, according to the theory of state-observer in the modern control theory. And theoretic analysis and simulation results have illustrated the validity of the approach. Moreover, the approach of synchronization proposed in this paper is very easy, flexible and universal with high synchronization precision.When the approach is applied to secure communication, the results are satisfying.展开更多

Obviously, it would be of special importance for the designer to know during the design process the extent of damage that the structure will suffer under the seismic action specified by the design spectrum and also the probability of occurrence of different states of behavior. The incremental nonlinear static analysis procedure used in this paper allows formulating a new, simplified, seismic damage index and damage thresholds associated with five limit states. The seismic behavior of a set of regular reinforced concrete buildings designed according to the EC-2/EC-8 prescriptions for a high seismic hazard level is then studied using the proposed damage index and damage states. Fragility curves and damage probability matrices corresponding to the performance point are calculated for the studied buildings. The obtained results show that the collapse damage state is not reached in the buildings designed according to the prescriptions of EC-2/EC-8 and also that the damage does not exceed the irreparable damage limit state.展开更多

Moreover, due to its high nutritive value, deterioration set in immediately after slaughtered, therefore it is necessary to preserved meat, using simple techniques. One of such method of preservation is drying method to produced Intermediate Moisture Meat （IMM）. The quality attributes and microbiological status of Kundi, a West African dried meat product （IMM） were studied over three months of storage period by comparing commercial products and laboratory Kundi products. Chemical and minerals composition and microbiological counts were reported. Moisture and water activity results indicated that the experimental Kundi was sufficiently dried to minimize microbial growth. Fat oxidation levels measured by free fatty acids （FFA, %） on extracted fats were unacceptably high for the commercial Kundi （2.64%）, which may be a reflection of the oil used in spraying the products. Processing of Kundi, appears to have relative higher amounts of minerals than fresh meat but their relative solubility were lower. Aflatoxin levels far exceeded established safe limits for commercial samples while laboratory samples fell under the safe limits, resulting from the mould growth in each product, with laboratory samples having lower growth than commercial samples.展开更多

The controlling, monitoring and power supply of safety functions have to comply with these regulations. Any deviations from the existing safety analysis report （SAR） have to be corrected.
