Tactical Internet Communication Traffic Characteristics and Modeling Methods

This study examines safety in the presence of large trees in curbed medians of conventional highways that are also principal streets in developed urban and suburban areas. Statistical modeling methods were used to associate collision frequency and severity with highway and traffic characteristics, with and without median trees. The methods include simple accident rates and three types of multivariate modeling and use collision data for 6 years. The analysis was done in two parts. The first part was a screening investigation of pertinent facilities under both state and local jurisdiction. The second part, described here in detail, focused on 14,283 collisions occurring on 58 mi (99 km) of designated state highways in 29 different sections, 19 with median trees. The analysis examined different subsets of reported collisions, in turn omitting collisions on the right side of the road, collisions not having median or median-shoulder involvement, and collisions at intersections. The overall conclusion is that large trees in medians of major conventional urban and suburban highways of state jurisdiction are associated with more collisions and increased severity. However, some of these associations are statistically weak. For the situations examined, lower speeds and larger side clearances were not found to mitigate the increased collision impacts associated with median trees.

Intramembrane particles (IMP or MAP) are components of most biomembranes. They are visualized by freeze-fracture electron microscopy, and they probably represent replicas of integral membrane proteins. The presence of MAP in biomembranes has been extensively investigated but their detailed ultrastructure has been largely ignored. In this study, we have attempted to lay groundwork for a systematic evaluation of MAP ultrastructure. Using mathematical modeling methods, we have simulated the electron optical appearances of idealized globular proteins as they might be expected to appear in replicas under defined conditions. By comparing these images with the apearances of MAPs in replicas, we have attempted to evaluate dimensional and shape distortions that may be introduced by the freeze-fracture technique and further to deduce the actual shapes of integral membrane proteins from their freezefracture images.

Relevance and problem statement. Modern unstable society is characterized by narrowing the boundaries of controlled socialization and expanding the boundaries of spontaneous socialization of a teenager based on his immersion in the question arises about the importance of the family in the process of socialization of a teenager in the conditions of expanding the space of socialization. There is a need to study the role of the family in this process, to search, develop and test research methods that allow us to reveal the phenomenon of socialization from the side of its value characteristics. The purpose and methodology of the study: to identify the possibilities of a systematic and anthropological methodology for studying the role of the family in the process of socialization of adolescents in modern conditions, testing research methods: photo research on the topic “Ego – I” (author of the German sociologist H. Abels), profile update reflexive processes (by S. A. Raschetina). Materials and results of the study. The study showed that for all the problems that exist in the family of the perestroika era and in the modern family, it acts for a teenager as a value and the first (main) support in the processes of socialization. The positions well known in psychology about the importance of interpersonal relations in adolescence for the formation of attitudes towards oneself as the basis of socialization are confirmed. Today, the frontiers of making friends have expanded enormously on the basis of Internet communication. The types of activities of interest to a teenager (traditional and new ones related to digitalization) are the third pillar of socialization. Conclusion. The “Ego – I” method of photo research has a wide range of possibilities for quantitative and qualitative analysis of the socialization process to identify the value Pillars of this process.
