Pedestrian flow distributions can inform planning for walkability and improve understanding of factors that influence pedestrian activity. However, detailed data is rarely available so pedestrian volume models, commonly relying on the Space Syntax framework, are often utilized to predict pedestrian volumes. This study compares the performance and dominant variables of three modelling families - multipleregression analyses, machine learning models, and agent-based models - in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel. Using 247 flow observations, optimal models from each family were fitted and validated for 3 separate areas that differ in their urban growth and morphological characteristics, as well for the whole city. Results showed that ensemble-based machine learning models were best for city-wide predictions while agent-based models had an advantage at the local scale of neighborhoods - especially in neighborhoods that did not develop in a self-organized process. regression analyses fell short for all areas, even when using principal component analysis to reduce multicollinearity and overfitting. These differences are attributed to the relative influence of cognitive-behavioral and structural factors on pedestrian flows: agent-based models outperform statistical models in individual areas, where behavior is captured more accurately using a small set of cognitive-behavioral parameters. Statistical models are dominant in the city-wide context, where structural variables can predict aggregate patterns. This is crucially important when evaluating the distribution of pedestrians in a planned urban environment. Overall, our results indicate that stepwise regression are not sufficient for pedestrian volume modelling, that agent-based models better capture complex interactions between independent variables, and that machine learning models have a strong potential for city-wide pedestrian volume modelling.
In today’s data-intensive environment, model-based data analysis plays a critical role in providing enterprises with quantitative insights to optimize decision-making and manage risks. This study examines the relatio...

As device scaling continues, development of photoresists with low pattern roughness and high sensitivity has become challenging. One obstacle that delays the material development process is the discrepancy between postdevelop and postetch pattern roughness, where a photoresist with high postdevelop patterning performance shows poor postetch pattern roughness. Herein, we demonstrate that pattern roughness after a nontrim etch process can be accurately estimated by a multiple regression analysis of a power spectral density (PSD) variable of postdevelop roughness and an etch resistance parameter of resins. The nontrim etch process here refers to an etch condition which leads to increased pattern roughness. Unbiased line width roughness (LWR) shows the highest correlation with postetch LWR among postdevelop roughness PSD variables. An etch resistance parameter also correlates well with postetch roughness. A multiple regression analysis reveals that the contributions of postdevelop unbiased LWR and etch resistance to the postetch LWR are 59% and 41%, respectively. Based on the calculated contributions, postetch LWR is estimated with a high accuracy (R-2 > 0.93). This estimation method allows for an efficient material screening at a lithography level without assessing postetch patterning performance, thus the process of material development could be accelerated.

Bioenergy addresses three important social concerns: security of energy supply, mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and development of agriculture. Bioenergy is the energy generated by either direct or indirect combustion of biomass, which is non-fossil organic material of both vegetable and animal origins. Different technologies are currently available for bioenergy production, but fuel cells are one of the most interesting devices because of their environmental benefits and their high efficiency. In particular, molten carbonate fuel cells are suitable devices for waste-to-energy conversion because of their ability to be fed with biogas, which is biomass-derived gas rich in methane and carbon dioxide. Indeed, methane can be internally reformed to hydrogen, carbon dioxide is a safe diluent preventing electrolyte loss, and carbon monoxide acts both as a hydrogen supplier and as an actual fuel. Unfortunately, biogas impurities, such as sulfur, halogen and nitrogen compounds, cause adverse effects on cell performances. The most dangerous impurities are sulfur compounds, among whom hydrogen sulphide is the predominant and the most harmful chemicals. It reacts with nickel-based anode to form nickel sulphides, that block catalytic sites, slowing hydrogen oxidation down, and change the anode wettability in molten carbonates, compromising the optimal electrolyte distribution within cell components. Poisoning mechanism of hydrogen sulphide depends on operating conditions such as current density, anodic gas composition, temperature and pressure. The aim of this work is to study hydrogen sulphide effects on MCFCs by means of multiple regression analysis. The mathematical approach gives us tools to define the main sulfur poisoning mechanism under MCFC operating conditions, quantify the effects of the main parameters affecting poison actions, such as current density, hydrogen and hydrogen sulphide, and identify their mutual interactions. Also it is possible to formulate a mul

Chemical heat pump is a clean technology developed to upgrade the low-level thermal energy to upper levels and to store energy without losses caused by temperature differences. multiple regression analysis of catalytic dehydrogenation of isopropanol was performed. The endothermic dehydrogenation of isopropanol was carried out under continuous boiling and refluxing conditions in order to study the enhancement effects of the presence of an alkaline compound and different types of catalysts at various concentrations in the reaction medium on the evolution rate of hydrogen. The factorial experimental design method was applied to understand better the coupled influences of both catalyst and alkaline additive concentrations to discuss and evaluate statistically the results for different catalysts and to develop the related models.

PURPOSE: To describe and evaluate a new multipleregression-derived nomogram for myopic wavefront laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). SETTING: Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom. DESIGN: Prospective comparative case series. METHODS: multipleregression modeling was used to derive a simplified formula for adjusting attempted spherical correction in myopic LASIK. An adaptation of Thibos' power vector method was then applied to derive adjustments to attempted cylindrical correction in eyes with 1.0 diopter (D) or more of preoperative cylinder. These elements were combined in a new nomogram (nomogram II). RESULTS: The 3-month refractive results for myopic wavefront LASIK (spherical equivalent <= 11.0 D;cylinder <= 4.5 D) were compared between 299 consecutive eyes treated using the earlier nomogram (nomogram I) in 2009 and 2010 and 414 eyes treated using nomogram II in 2011 and 2012. There was no significant difference in treatment accuracy (variance in the postoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent error) between nomogram I and nomogram II (P = .73, Bartlett test). Fewer patients treated with nomogram II had more than 0.5 D of residual postoperative astigmatism (P = .0001, Fisher exact test). There was no significant coupling between adjustments to the attempted cylinder and the achieved sphere (P = .18, t test). CONCLUSIONS: Discarding marginal influences from a multipleregression derived nomogram for myopic wavefront LASIK had no clinically significant effect on treatment accuracy. Thibos' power vector method can be used to guide adjustments to the treatment cylinder alongside nomograms designed to optimize postoperative spherical equivalent results in myopic LASIK.

The cytotoxicity of methanolic extracts from rice cultures of 53 Fusarium avenaceum strains, which had been isolated from different host organisms in Northern Europe, Canada and Australia/New Zealand, was investigated in a rat hepatoma (H4IIE-W), porcine epithelial kidney (PK-15), foetal feline lung fibroblast, dog lymphoblast (D3447), and a human hepatocarcinorna (Hep G2) cell line using the Alamar Blue (TM) assay. All extracts were screened for known fungal metabolites using high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array and mass spectrometric detection, and both known and unknown metabolites were semi-quantified. Known metabolites that were determined in the cultures include acuminatopyrone, 2-amino-14,16-dimethyloctadecan-3-ol (2-AOD-3-ol), antibiotic Y, aurofusarin, chlamydosorol, chlamydospordiol, enniatins, fusarin A and C, and moniliformin. multiple regression analysis was used in order to relate fungal metabolites to the cytotoxicity of the extracts. Separate linear regression models were constructed for each cell line. Eleven different fungal metabolites were related to the cytotoxicity (P < 0.05). Out of these, nine metabolites were siginificantly related to the cytotoxicity in only one of the five models, while two, namely enniatins and 2-AOD-3-ol, were significant contributors in three or four regression models, respectively. This paper describes how multiple regression analysis may be applied for the assignment of bioactivity/toxicity to the constituents of a multi-component mixture. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

In this paper, we present methodology for investigating relations among kinematic parameters of finger tapping, typically used for motor assessment of upper limb by implementing multiple linear regressionanalysis. Duration, speed and angle were selected as the most frequently used to describe taping performance. The goal of this study was to determine if these basic finger tapping parameters can be estimated through other parameters and to quantify their relations and contributions to the obtained estimation. The study included 12 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and 12, age and gender matched healthy subjects (HS). Results showed that selected three kinematic parameters can be estimated with error less than 7% for healthy subjects and less than 10% error for patients with PD.
