Collision imminent steering is an automotive active safety feature designed to perform an evasive lane change maneuver when a forward collision cannot be avoided by braking alone.Previous work developed a nonlinear one-level model predictive controller to perform such a maneuver in a straight highway environment and at high speeds.In this PLANT GEL
For some decades, mass wasting processes such as landslides and debris floods have been threatening villages and transportation routes in the Rio Grande Valley, named Quebrada de Humauhuaca.One of the most significant examples is the urban area of Tilcara, built on a large alluvial fan.In recent years, debris flood phenomena have been triggered in

We conduct a strict and broad analysis of the 30-day expected volatility (VIX) of five very active individual US stocks, three US domestic indices, and that of 10-year US Treasury notes.We find prominent non-random movement patterns mainly on Mondays and Fridays.Furthermore, significant leaps in expected volatility on Monday occur primarily in the
