High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Silver Line is the only bus rapid transit (BRT) line operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). It operates in two sections; the first runs from Dudley Square in Roxbury to downtown Boston, Massachusetts and South Station, mostly via Washington Street, with buses operating in reserved lanes. The second section runs from South Station to South Boston and to Logan Airport in East Boston, partly in a dedicated bus tunnel and also on dedicated surface right-of-way. Riders can transfer between the sections at South Station; transfers there between SL1 and SL2 and the Red Line—but not SL4—are within fare control.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Silver mining in the United States began on a major scale with the discovery of the Comstock Lode in Nevada in 1858. The industry suffered greatly from the demonetization of silver in 1873 by the "Crime of 73," but silver mining continues today. The United States produced 1,200 metric tons of silver in 2007, 35% of the silver it used. The remaining 65% was imported from Mexico, Canada, Peru, and Chile. Thirty-six US mines reported silver production. Interest in silver mining has increased in recent years because of increased price of the metal: the average silver price increased from $4.39 per ounce for the year 2001, to $13.45 per ounce for 2007.

Controlling a biped robot with a high degree of freedom to achieve stable movement patterns is still an open and complex problem. Thus, the development of control mechanisms for biped walking have become an important field of research. With growing calculation power of computer hardware, high resolution realtime simulation of such robot models in effect becomes all the more applicable. This thesis presents a physical simulation of a 19 degrees of freedom real biped robot model and demonstrates its application for exploring biped motion control techniques. It introduces two different approaches of biped motion generation, which specify target angle functions for all driven joints. Both approaches were developed and implemented within the...

The Simplon Tunnel is an Alpine railway tunnel that connects the Swiss town of Brig with Domodossola in Italy, though its relatively straight trajectory does not run under Simplon Pass itself. It actually consists of two single-track tunnels built nearly 20 years apart. It was the longest railway tunnel in the world until the opening of the Seikan Tunnel in 1988 (see World's longest tunnels). Work on the first tube of the Simplon tunnel commenced in 1898. The Italian king Victor Emmanuel III of Italy and the president of the Swiss National Council Ludwig Forrer opened the tunnel at Brig on 10 May 1906. The builders of the tunnel were Hermann Haustler and Hugo von Kager and the tunnel is 19700...

It is a popular alternative to the Document Object Model (DOM).A parser which implements SAX (ie, a SAX Parser) functions as a stream parser, with an event-driven API. The user defines a number of callback methods that will be called when events occur during parsing. The SAX events include:Events are fired when each of these XML features are encountered, and again when the end of them is encountered. XML attributes are provided as part of the data passed to element events. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга...

The industry today is a very important market and worldwide sales for the past years has been growing rapidly and is now a multi-billion industry. In the industry, the main govern by the "Moore's rule". This lead to the industry answer by the creation of the International Roadmap for Semiconductor. In the past century, semiconductor transistors have moved rapidly and technology nodes have been shrinking every two years following Moore's rule. Materials have been moving from bulk silicon to Silicon-on- Insulator wafers. In the past few years, technologists have come to a point where they have recognized that this shrinking phenomenon and high...

Acid Sulphate Soils cause acidic pollution in canal water, which negatively impacts on environmental water and the livelihood of farmers. The problem is particularly acute in the coastal zones, where people already suffer from the consequences of salinity intrusion. This study develops a mathematical model as an analytical tool that can simulate the propagation of acidic pollution and allow planers and managers to decide water management options and other resource management measures to reduce acidic pollution in the canal network of a coastal plain. The field and laboratory studies during 2001-2006 in Ca Mau peninsula, Mekong Delta, Vietnam, in combination with statistical and GIS-based analyses were applied for the modelling. The model...

Over the last several decades, computer simulations have been widely utilized to model and analyze complex systems at low costs and risks. Although simulation can represent physical systems realistically, it is a descriptive tool without the capability of suggesting better solutions. However, it can be complemented by incorporating optimization routines. The most challenging problem is that large-scale simulation models normally take a considerable amount of computer time to execute so that the number of solution evaluations needed by most optimization algorithms is not feasible within a reasonable time frame. This book, therefore, provides a highly efficient evolutionary simulation-based decision making procedure which can be applied in...

Practical realization of low-power, high-speed transistor technologies for future generation nano- electronics can be achieved with novel structures, such as FinFET, tri-gate or with the integration of exotic channel materials,such as Gallium Nitride (GaN), into Fully-Depleted SOI(FDSOI) transistor architectures. Novel Structures are the most promising candidates for logic devices with sub-20nm gate length. They can increase gate control and suppress short channel effects. To compare the feasibility of these different structures and to project the device performance, technology CAD (TCAD) simulation is a reasonable method. The III-V semiconductors, such as Gallium Nitride (GaN), have high maximum electron drift velocities and ballistic...

The FAA and the DFW airport had proposed a Perimeter Taxiway (PT) system to improve runway safety and reduce runway incursions. The PT is analyzed utilizing actual flight data from the FAA and DFW database for 2004. An estimate was made for air traffic operations in 2010 from the FAA forecasts. Runway assignment was based on runway use plan and the standard taxiway route suggested by ATC. North and South flow was simulated separately in Visual SIMMOD, for a total of sixteen simulations to assess the operational procedures and constraints. Flight track data for one day in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 was obtained to conduct a statistical analysis and determine the height of aircraft overflying the proposed centerline of PT during...

An accident on the Singapore Cable Car system occurred at about 6 p.m. on 29 January 1983, when the derrick of the Eniwetok, a Panamanian-registered oil rig, passed under the aerial ropeway and struck the cable that stretched over the waterway between the Jardine Steps Station and the Sentosa Station. As a result, two cabins plunged 55 metres into the sea, killing seven people. The oil rig was being towed away from Keppel Wharf when it became entangled in the cable and caused it to snap. It also left 13 people trapped in four other cabins between Mount Faber and Sentosa. The accident was the first involving death or injury since the cable car system opened in February 1974. Данное...
