Autonomous vehicles(AVs), including trucks, are already available and their adoption is coming at a rapid pace. Despite the fact that this new transportation technology will travel on existing pavement infrastructure assets, the study and investigation of the AVs structural impact on pavements has not reached the same level of attention and maturity as other related research areas. Considering the extensive investment on pavement construction and maintenance, the necessity to fully understand these impacts in the long term, is becoming evident. The present paper presents and discusses currently published relevant research and findings on the quantification of the wheel wander potential impact,both negative and positive, offering potential insightful future areas of enquiry to help mold and shape future research for this emerging field. The paper focuses on the impact of the AVs zero lateral wheel wander on both new flexible pavement design and the damage accumulation within existing flexible pavement structures. Other wheel wander distributions(normal, uniform, etc.) are investigated as well. The outcome and findings are that the AVs zero lateral wheel wander has a definable negative structural impact on flexible pavement structures in comparison to current human-driven(non-autonomous) vehicles that tend to follow a normal lateral wheel wander distribution. However, under certain defined conditions(optimal wheel wander distribution), the pavement service life can be potentially extended.

Quantification of skid resistance seasonal variation in asphalt pavements

The present study deals with the quantification of skid resistance seasonal variation in asphalt ***,skid resistance data were collected twice per year(after"wet"and"dry"seasons)along four trial sections of an urban highway with a GripTester system(during a six-year field experiment).For the estimation of a percentage reference change(%)between wet and dry skid resistance data,a methodology is developed based on distribution fitting of the percentage change of skid resistance index due to seasonal variation *** outcome of the analysis is applied and successfully validated through a set of skid resistance data collected from an interurban highway pavement section with different traffic and environmental *** such the developed methodology can be considered as a promising tool for accommodating the seasonal variation of skid ***,the resulting percentage reference change(%)enables the estimation of skid resistance level for the dry period based on the wet period ***,it seems that the proposed quantification process may constitute a practical yet efficient tool for road authorities and highway operators on how to estimate the effect of seasonal variation on skid resistance levels and schedule well-ahead necessary actions for enhancing driving safety.

Microproteinuria in patients with inflammatory bowel disease:Is it associated with the disease activity or the treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid?

World Journal of Gastroenterology 2006年第5期12卷 739-746页

作者： Androniki C Poulou Konstantinos E Goumas Dimitrios C Dandakis Ioannis Tyrmpas Maria Panagiotaki Androniki georgouli Dimitrios C Soutos Athanasios Archimandritis Gastroenterology Department of Red Cross Hospital of Athens Athanasaki 111521 AthensGreece 2~(nd) Department of Internal Medicine University of Athens Medical School"Hippokratio"General Hospital11521 AthensGreece

AIM： To investigate whether microproteinuria in patients with inflammatory bowel disease （IBD） is associated with the disease activity or the treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid （5-ASA）. METHODS： We prospectively studied microproteinuria in 86 consecutive patients with IBD, 61 with ulcerative colitis （UC） and 25 with Crohn＇s disease （CD）, before as well as 2 and 6 months after their inclusion in the study. Forty-six patients received 5-ASA for a period of 28.8 months （range 1-168 too）. Microalbuminuria （mALB） and urine levels of the renal tubular proteins β2-microglobulin （β2mGLB） and β-N-acetyI-D-glucosamidase （β-NAG） as well as the creatinine clearance were determined in a 12-h overnight urine collection. Tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） serum levels were also measured. RESULTS： A total of 277 measurements （194 in UC patients and 83 in CD patients） were performed. The prevalence of abnormal microoproteinuria in UC and CD patients was 12.9% and 6.0% for mALB, 22.7% and 27.7% for B2mGLB, and 11.3% and 8.4% for β-NAG, respectively, mALB was not associated with IBD activity. β2mGLB and B-NAG urine levels were correlated to UC activity （UCAI： P〈0.01; UCEI： P〈0.005）. mALB in UC patients and β-NAG urine levels in CD patients were related to TNF-α serum levels. An association was noticed between microproteinuria and smoking habit. Treatment with 5-ASA was not correlated to the severity of microproteinuria or to the changes of creatinine clearance.CONCLUSION： Microproteinuria is mainly associated with UC and its activity but not affected by 5-ASA.
