An evaluation of aerodynamics performance of a moving car with wind turbine system
… of the aerodynamic performance of a moving car with a wind turbine system. Sedan type cars (approaching the size of Proton Wira car) were modeled using the SolidWork software and simulation was done by ANSYS FLUENT software. Three car models with different wind turbine system positions (in …

Identifying the Behavioural and Psychophysiological Indicators of Mentally Tough Athletes
… athletes, and test the utility of two competing cardiac models to map these responses. Study 1 addressed the issue of the measurement of rRST in Hardy et al.’s study by examining the factorial validity of the six-factor Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory Personality Questionnaire (RST-PQ). …

Display of finite element beam stresses
… a clear view of stress distributions in complex models. The front, right, top, and isometric views are preprogrammed views, or a rotated view of the model can be specified. Also, specific portions of the model can be magnified. A region may be defined for showing cut sections of the model. …

The impact of price changes on the brand equity of Toyota in Saudi Arabia
… between 3-5 participants who are Saudi national car owners of Toyota and its competitors' car models no older than the year 2010. The focus groups participated in a price simulation exercise followed by interviews. The price simulation exercise exposed the participants to price changes to their …

Graph-Theoretic Outlier Rejection: From Instance to Category-Level Perception
… picturing an object of a given category (e.g., a car), and has to reconstruct the pose and shape of the object despite intra-class variability (i.e., different car models have different shapes). To solve this problem, we develop the first certifiably optimal solver for pose and shape estimation. …

The price isn't right : mobility alternatives and their plight
When it comes to car size, the conventional wisdom of both auto manufacturers and drivers alike would dictate that smaller cars are designed for and work best in the tight confines of the city. Small cars-and specifically for this study, sub-compact 'city cars' such as the Smart Fortwodo indeed …

Numerical and experimental investigation of Nylon66 (PA66) reinforced recycled carbon fiber composites and aluminum foam for application in vehicle crashworthiness and occupant protection per various FMVSS regulations
… crashes, the costs involved in testing physical car models are escalating every year. For this reason, numerical simulations, particularly Finite Element Analysis (FEA), significantly lower the costs associated with physical model testing. The goal of this research is to investigate two different …

The Development of a Hybrid Knowledge-Based System for Designing a Low Volume Automotive Manufacturing Environment. The Development of A Hybrid Knowledge-Based (KB)/Gauging Absences of Pre-Requisites (GAP)/Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) System for the Design and Implementation of a Low Volume Automotive Manufacturing (LVAM) Environment.
… Automotive Manufacturing (LVAM), used for niche car models manufacturing, is proposed to overcome this issue. The development of a hybrid Knowledge Based (KB) System, which is a blend of KB System, Gauging Absences of Pre-requisites (GAP), and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is proposed for LVAM …

A Novel Method for Vibration Analysis of the Tire-Vehicle System via Frequency Based Substructuring
… the tire/vehicle combination. Provided the right models exist, this evaluation can also be achieved in a laboratory. The research presented here is a method which utilizes the principles of frequency based substructuring (FBS) to separate or combine frequency response data for the tire and …

Interfirm Alliance Linkages and Knowledge Transfer:An Exploratory Analysis of Mutual Cooperative Learning in an International Joint Venture in the Chinese Automotive Industry
… enlarging the product ranges, and developing new car models. Second, partner firms are motivated to increase their knowledge transfer activities to increase competitive advantage levels to match or exceed those of other competitors. Both partner companies initially contributed differentiated sets …

Spatial Modeling of Detection and Abundance from Count Surveys of Animal Populations
… or "capture" history counts, that simultaneously models spatial variation in density and variation in detection probabilities due to changes in covariates across the landscape. The models have a complex hierarchical structure that makes them suited to Bayesian analysis using Markov chain Monte …

Ecological studies of Clostridioides difficile and COVID-19 infection with the application of space-time risk models
… COVID-19 pandemic and growing concerns of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), there is a worldwide requirement for stringent techniques to monitor and understand the key drivers for infections. Infectious diseases have an inherent spatial dimension due to the contagious nature of viruses and …
