Statistical tests suggest that the CAR-NB model is preferred over the CAR-Poisson, NB, zero-inflated Poisson, zero-inflated NB models, due to its lower prediction errors and more robust parameter inference. The study results show that crash frequency and fatalities are positively associated with the number of lanes, curve length, annual average daily traffic (AADT) per lane, as well as rainfall. Speed limit and the distances to the nearest hospitals have negative associations with segment-based crash counts but positive associations with fatality counts, presumably as a result of worsened collision impacts at higher speed and time loss during transporting crash victims.展开更多

We carried out physical modeling on the deformation and failure processes of roadways subjected to a plane loading scheme. Our laboratory tests were based on work which incorporated infrared (IR) detection, IR radiation temperature (IRT) statistics, image feature extraction and 2D Fourier transformation, from resulting thermographies. The IRT characterizes the mechanical responses from the roadway after loading with two stages, i.e., IRT evolving at higher levels corresponded to shallow mining (≤500 m) during which the roadway deformed gradually (referred to as the "steady deformation stage"); IRT evolving in a quasi-cyclical manner with multiple peaks corresponded to deep mining (800–2600 m), in which the failure mode for the roadway are dominated by breakage and collapse (called the "unsteady deformation stage"). The IR images and 2D Fourier spectra illustrate detailed information in terms of initiation, nucleation and coalescence of the damage to rock masses and the eventual failure of roadways subject to external loading.展开更多

The results demonstrate that three basic nitrogencompounds, N1 (in which a molecule contains one nitrogen atom, similarly hereinafter), N1O1 and N2, are identified bytheir positive-ion mass spectra, and three non-basic nitrogen compounds, N1, N1O1, and N1S1, are characterized by theirnegative-ion mass spectra. Among these nitrogen compounds, the N1 class species are the most predominant. Combinedwith the data of ESI FT-ICR MS and FT-IR, the basic N1 class species are likely alkyl quinolines, naphthenic quinolines,acridines, benzonacridines, while the abundant non-basic N1 class species are derivatives of benzocarbazole. In comparisonwith CGO, the N1 basic nitrogen compounds in VR exhibit a higher average degree of condensation and have much longeralkyl side chains.展开更多

A new approach for calculating sample size is developed by combining Bayesian and frequentist idea when a hypothesis test between two binomial proportions is conducted. Sample size is calculated according to Bayesian posterior decision function and power of the most powerful test under 0-1 loss function. Sample sizes are investigated for two cases that two proportions are equal to some fixed value or a random value. A simulation study and a real example are used to illustrate the proposed methodologies.展开更多
