What does the expression 'Time management' really mean? In considering that no one can ever hold time back or force it on or even attempt to make it stand still, the expression is really a misnomer. No one can manage time; it is impossible to manage something over which you...
This white paper deals with the Algorithms in Computational Geometry and Computer Aid-ed Design that are often developed for the Real RAM model of computation, which assumes exactness of all the input arguments and operations. In practice, however, the exactness imposes tremendous limitations on the algorithms {even the basic operations...
The article says managers need to balance freedom of religious expression at work against avoiding the appearance or reality of favoring one group over another or of permitting the disruption of work activities for which all the taxpayers hold us accountable. When religious expression does not conflict with a compelling...
You can use calculated controls to display the results of a calculation. If you have a report that displays the number of items sold and the price of each unit, you can add a calculated text box that multiplies those two fields to display the total price. The Control Source...
In Access, the term expression is synonymous with formula. An expression consists of a number of possible elements that are used, alone or in combination, to produce a result. This section contains examples of expressions that you can use to create a calculated control in a form or report. A...
This article introduces expressions. You will learn what an expression is and why and where you use one. You will also learn about the Expression Builder, a tool in Access that you can use to help you build expressions. Finally, you will learn how to create an expression, either by...

Evaluating the reliability of a transportation network often involves an intensive simulation exercise to randomly generate and evaluate different possible network states. This paper proposes an algorithm to approximate the network reliability which minimizes the use of such simulation procedure. The algorithm will dissect and classify the...
As the problem of full transit vehicles is encountered daily by passengers in most of the big cities, previous research evaluated the consequence of overcrowding in terms of on-board crowding and passengers not being able to board with full vehicles. The impact of overcrowding in the real...
This study performs a theoretical analysis of instability in a departure time choice problem. Stability of equilibrium is an important factor for reliability of travel time. If equilibrium is not stable, travel time changes over a period of days even if demand and network performance are stable....
Optimal toll design from a network reliability point of view is addressed in this paper. Improving network reliability is proposed as a policy objective of road pricing. A reliability-based optimal toll design model, where on the upper level network performance including travel time reliability is optimized, while...
Uncertainty of traffic network operations has been a subject of lively debate in the last decade. However, little effort has been put in developing control frameworks that are not only aimed at improving the average performance of the system, but also at improving the system robustness and...
"Storm Crow: In some cultures it is believed that sight of a lone crow or raven flying low on the horizon at twilight portends violent weather or other calamitous events. Variation: A lone crow or raven flying erratically and crying out stridently at dusk is an evil omen; a harbinger...
In his article on Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty (August 4), John J. Miller cited a 2006 article from the Star Tribune in which Pawlenty said, "The era of small government is over." The Star Tribune later clarified that Pawlenty was not expressing his personal view, but that of New York...
