The City

This paper proposes a method of assigning trips to automated taxis (ATs) and designing the routes of those vehicles in an urban road network, and also considering the traffic congestion caused by this dynamic responsive service. The system is envisioned to provide a seamless door-to-door service within a city area for all passenger origins and destinations. An integer programming model is proposed to define the routing of the vehicles according to a profit maximization function, depending on the dynamic travel times, which varies with the ATs’ flow. This will be especially important when the number of automated vehicles (AVs) circulating on the roads is high enough that their routing will cause delays. This system should be able to serve not only the reserved travel requests, but also some real-time requests. A rolling horizon scheme is used to divide one day into several periods in which both the real-time and the booked demand will be considered together. The model was applied to the real size case study city of Delft, the Netherlands. The results allow assessing of the impact of the ATs movements on traffic congestion and the profitability of the system. From this case-study, it is possible to conclude that taking into account the effect of the vehicle flows on travel time leads to changes in the system profit, the satisfied percentage and the driving distance of the vehicles, which highlights the importance of this type of model in the assessment of the operational effects of ATs in the future.

Rare Symptom

Since several years ago the relation between art and mental disorders has been interesting for psychiatrists. This relation has more importance when understanding famous painters such as Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Louis Wain have had such disorders.Psychotic patients may project their symptoms into their drawings and use paintings as a way to illustrate their special feelings and thoughts. Without them understanding patient’s world and their symptoms is impossible.When hallucinations are too amazing to believe and more persecutor than any pain, and when thoughts are so dispersed which other cannot understand and nevertheless, there is no treatment for these boring symptoms, art and specially painting may be a way to relief them.Lilliputian hallucination is a rare symptom in psychotic patients; a visual type hallucination that things and persons appears smaller than the real size. Patients usually describe them as the persecutor dwarfs or life from another world.Here we introduce a schizophrenic patient with Lilliputian hallucination who created famous paintings. In these paintings, patient was drawn dwarfs in nearly one inch. They are creatures between man and mouse, sometimes whisper and occasionally walk on his head or body.

Global Estimates

Since the beginnings of modern microfinance in the 70s, the industry continued to grow rapidly, albeit fueled by dubious assumptions related to market potential. Boosted by Nobel Prize award, thousands of new MFIs are currently being created in the lure of market potential, estimated atone and half billion of unattended clients. The estimates, however, differ drastically and there is no wide scale assessment available deducing the unattainable market strata, detrimental to sustainablemicrofinance, from the inflated estimates. The exaggerations are to be denoted as unrealistic andexcluded from the global estimates. This study intends to quantify the market wrongly assumed to form part of the microfinance market and to deduce the real size of the potential global microfinancesector, appraising the size of the market that should not be counted into the integral demand, since it isunsustainable or harmful to the players involved.
