    International Forum on Management, Education and Information Technology Application (IFMEITA 2016) Traffic Simulation of Hongqi Elevated Road in Yantai Feng Zhua, Chengxuan Caob State Key Laboratory of Rail Traffic Control and Safety Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China. a15125815@ bjtu.edu.cn, [email protected] Keywords: Traffic simulation, Hongqi Elevated Road, VISSIM. Abstract. With the increasing number of vehicles in Yantai, the downtown traffic volume is increasing. Hongqi Road, the main road in Yantai exists the traffic congestion problems. Yantai Planning Bureau proposed to construct for viaduct this road. This design is mainly based on the planning and design of the elevated road in Yantai Hongqi Road (Hongqi Road intersection-Shanhai Road intersection). We used the VISSIM micro simulation system to carry out the simulation of the elevated road in Hongqi Road, and the stops and queue length are the evaluation indices for quantitative evaluation. Then through the evaluation indices and specific data obtained by simulation, we analyze the selection of the scheme and draw the final plan of the construction of the elevated road, which was provide a good reference for the planning and construction of Hongqi elevated road. Introduction The emergence of the viaduct is a very important detail in the course of the evolution of the city. It reflects the city's increasingly crowded trends and the city's displacement in space form (from a horizontal plane to a vertical section) [1]. After Hongqi elevated road built, this east-west freeway will remain basically smooth all the way, this will further widen the urban framework, improve the speed of vehicle driving and the traffic capacity of Hongqi road, guarantee the none-congestion of the backbone, increase the efficiency of the green time and reduce the traffic delay.

  • Ethanol Affects Behavior and HPA Axis Activity During Development In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ethanol afects behavior and HPA axis activity during development in zebrafsh larvae Wenxiao Du1*, Xiaoli Chen2, Min Shi1, Fuhua Bian1 & Zhenjun Zhao1* Recent studies have shown that long-term alcohol intake from food can lead to numerous mental disorders in humans, and the social and health efects of excessive intake of alcohol currently represent serious problems for governments and families worldwide. However, to date, it has not been determined how alcohol afects the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. The zebrafsh ofers a good model for studying the toxicology of food-grade ethanol. In the present study, using zebrafsh larvae exposed to 1% ethanol, we performed zebrafsh behavioral analysis. Samples were collected for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) experiments, and statistical analysis was performed. We found that ethanol decreased the locomotor activity of zebrafsh larvae, which showed a more intense reaction to external stimuli. Ethanol also increased the level of HPA axis hormones in zebrafsh larvae, infuenced the level of neurotransmitters, and altered the expression of key genes in neurotransmitter metabolism. Ethanol exposure afects zebrafsh behavior, increases the level of HPA axis hormones in zebrafsh larvae, afects the level of neurotransmitters, and afects the expression of key genes in dopamine and serotonin metabolism. These fndings may help to elucidate the efects of ethanol on HPA axis activity. Ethanol is a substance consumed daily by humans that can cause considerable harm to human health, especially in minors1. Indeed, the social and health efects of alcoholism are among the most serious problems faced by governments and families every year 2.
