Abstract Background and methods This paper addresses, in simulation, energy minimization of an autonomous electric minibus operating in an urban environment. Two different case studies have been considered, each involving a total of 10 different 2?km bus routes and two different average speeds. In the proposed method, the minibus follows an optimized speed profile, generated using a genetic algorithm. Results In the first case study the vehicle was able to reduce its energy consumption by around 7 to 12% relative to a baseline case in which it maintains a constant speed between stops, with short acceleration and deceleration phases. In the second case study, involving mass variation (passengers entering and alighting) it was demonstrated that the number of round trips that can be completed on a single battery charge is increased by around 10% using the proposed method.

Preliminary Study

ABSTRACTVerbally agitated behaviours are among the behavioural symptoms of dementia most commonly encountered in long-term care facilities. These behaviours may be related to unmet needs that cannot be expressed adequately because of cognitive impairment. The objective of this preliminary study is to assess an intervention, based on the needs of social attention, sensory stimulation, and comfort, for managing verbally agitated behaviours in long-term care demented patients. A multiple baseline case study design was used, with two participants.

Conservation Agriculture, No-till in this farm level case study, is largely adopted in dry or erosion prone conditions. The need to utilize sustainable production methods has also become a very important topic in conditions where conventional tillage and practices have been used. There are several reasons for this like: Economical pressures, environmental causes and EU regulations. To be able to learn and compare how the same common problems are solved, we have started a two dimension Farm level Case study between England and Finland. We have chosen as similar as possible conditions and farm types. Both farms are located on heavy clay soil, with relatively low annual rainfall. In both areas plow culture is still dominant and no-till considered difficult due to very heavy clay soil with low organic matter.
