Rear-end collision accounts for the main type of traffic accidents occurring on the freeway. In order to extract the significant influence factors of rear-end collision on the freeway, this study utilized the data of freeway traffic accidents between 2010 and 2015 in China. First, based on quasi-induced exposure theory, the information of driver, vehicle, and road environment was analyzed. Gender, age, driving age, vehicle safety, load, weather, fatigue, driving speed, road alignment, accident time, and visibility were selected as the important factors that might affect rear-end collision. Second, based on logistic regression model, the influencing factors analysis model of freeway rear-end collision was established. In the regression analysis, the possible important factors selected were taken as the independent variables, and the accident responsibility was taken as the dependent variable. Then, the factors that had significant influence on rear-end collision were selected from candidate independent variables by stepwise regression method. Finally, the specific influence of driving age, load, weather, accident time, visibility, fatigue, and driving speed on rear-end collision occurring on the freeway was discussed. The analysis results were explained according to the odds ratio. The research results of this article can provide guidance for the prevention of rear-end collision on the freeway and theoretical support for the development of freeway early warning system.

This study aims to find the variables that most influence the length of time to get a proper job for an educated workforce. Some influencing factors based on previous research which are used as independent variables include the level of education, skills, wages and age. This research hypothesises is that simultaneously and partially, the four variables affect the length of time seeking for a job. A regression analysis had been conducted to prove this hypothesis. This research used 100 educated labour as respondents in Manokwari Regency. The result shows that simultaneously, at a 90% confidence level, all independent variables influence the length of time looking for a job. Meanwhile, partially, only the skill variable significantly influences it.

Abstract Background. The COVID-19 epidemic has had an extreme impact on society. This study aimed to discuss this epidemic in the U.S. and explore the association between COVID-19 daily incidence rate and influencing factors including people’s implementation of states’ quarantine policy and environmental factors including temperature, humidity and so on.Methods. Data of 50 states in U.S. were used as the research subjects. A panel data model was established based on the daily incidence rate and influencing factors from 15 March to 30 September, 2020. The period was analyzed both unsegmented and segmented. The k-means clustering method was used to cluster the states, and panel linear regression method was used for correlation analysis.Results. The characteristics of the daily incidence rate and factors of the three categories were different after clustering. The daily residents at home, proportion of travel people, humidity and incidence rate were negatively correlated, while the daily temperature and incidence rate were positively correlated after unsegmented multivariate analysis. While after segmented analysis, the air pressure and the temperature showed a trend that was negatively correlated with the daily incidence rate respectively in the first and the fifth segment, other indicators showed the analogous results. At the same time, this study also completed the regression analysis after classification of the three groups. Compared with results without classification, there was a decrease of the number of significant independent variables.Conclusions. The spread of COVID-19 in 50 states in U.S. was related to quarantine measures, temperature and humidity. The progress of the epidemic would be relatively slow if people chose to stay at home. Besides, the increase in temperature (<84.2℉) could be conducive to the spread of the epidemic, while the increase in relative humidity (40~70%) might inhibit the spread of the virus to a certain degree.

Abstract Malfunctioning satellites are generally non-cooperative tumbling objects. Due to their complex tumbling motion, it is essential to stabilize the target within an acceptable rotating range in the pre-capture phase. In contrast to contactless methods, contact methods based on flexible devices are efficient and can generate sufficient operating torque through flexible contact. However, accurate dynamic analysis of the operation is challenging because of two limitations. It is difficult to obtain a high-efficiency description of the large deformation arising from the operating process. Moreover, the contact between a flexible device and a tumbling object is hard to detect efficiently. This paper proposes a method for detumbling a free-floating rotating satellite; it uses a flexible rod to contact the solar array of the target. The absolute nodal coordinate formulation is first applied to a rod-contact detumbling model in simulation to describe the large deformation of the rod precisely with a low computational burden. Next, a two-step method to detect the contact is employed to pinpoint the contact point and speed up the simulation: coarse detection in the contactless phase and fine detection in the contact phase. Finally, the feasibility of the contact detumbling method is verified. In addition, through the further analysis of the contact process, some characteristics of this kind of strategy are studied for the first time.
