Dual-mode vehicle routing in mixed autonomous and non-autonomous zone networks

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are expected to widely re-define mobility in the future, transforming many solutions into autonomous services. Nonetheless, this development requires an expected transition phase of several decades in which some regions will provide sufficient infrastructure for AV movements, while others will not support AVs yet. In...

Integrating people and freight transportation using shared autonomous vehicles with compartments

In the realm of human urban transportation, many recent studies have shown that comparatively smaller fleets of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) are able to provide efficient door-to-door transportation services for city dwellers. However, because of the steady growth of e-commerce and same-day delivery services, new city logistics...

Angular resolved scattering by a nano-textured ZnO/silicon interface

Textured interfaces in thin-film silicon solar cells improve the efficiency by light scattering. A technique to get experimental access to the angular intensity distribution (AID) at textured interfaces of the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and silicon is introduced. Measurements are performed on a sample with polished microcrystalline...

Optical scattering properties of a nano-textured ZnO-silicon interface

The scattering properties of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layers are fundamentally related to the performance of thin film silicon solar cells. In this study we introduce an experimental technique to access light scattering properties at textured TCO-silicon interfaces. Therefore we prepared a sample with a polished microcrystalline...

Software-based geometry operations for 3D computer graphics

In order to support a broad dynamic range and a high degree of precision, many of 3D renderings fundamental algorithms have been traditionally performed in floating-point. However, fixed-point data representation is preferable over floatingpoint representation in graphics applications on embedded devices where performance is of paramount...

The Seismicity of Stable Continental Regions: Reassessing its correlation with ancient interior rifts and extended continental margins

It has long been noted that many earthquakes within so-called Stable Continental Regions (SCRs) occur within extended crust. The EPR1 (1994) definition of an SCR is a region that has not experienced any orogenic activity or anorogenic intrusions since the early Cretaceous and no rifting or major extension/transtension since the Paleogene. In...
