    INTRODUCTION A modified approach to explaining the nature of traffic flow on freeways is described in this research. It has its beginnings in the observations of actual traffic data, which are not easily and convincingly explained by the conventional traffic flow theories. Most conventional approaches to studying the relationships between traffic flow characteristics use loop detector data. The loop detectors are typically 6 by 6 ft inductive loops of electric wires. When a vehicle passes or stops

    Chapter 1 Review on Asymmetric Synthesis of 1,3-Diols and Chiral Sulfoxides 1.1. Importance and applications of chiral 1,3-diols Optically active 1,3-diols are very important compounds in asymmetric synthesis, since they represent chiral building blocks for many polyketide-derived natural products, and have frequently been used as valuable intermediates in the synthesis of drugs and natural products with important biological activity. Such diols have shown promise as chiral derivatising agents and

    The problem with induction lies within its logical validity. In inductive reasoning, we make seemingly justified assumptions about future events based on past observations. The premises of our claim are assumed to be true; however, they do not guarantee the truth of the conclusion (135) Instead, induction uses the observable evidence as strength to infer the probability of the new claim being true. Inductive reasoning is therefore, logically invalid. These repeated observations, no matter how prevalent

    Tesla originally experimented with induction coils, similar to those found in ignition coils in internal combustion engines. He decided to power this setup with a high speed alternator he was developing. However, the high frequency melted the iron core and the insulation between the primary and secondary windings of the coil. To solve the problem, Tesla removed the insulation and replaced it with an air gap. He also designed the setup so that the iron core could be moved. Additionally, he discovered
