Mercedes-Benz SL-500
Mercedes-Benz SL-500Mercedes-Benz SL-500 offers an irresistible sporting experience. The New SL-Class Roadster is the first Mercedes to be equipped with SENSOTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL (SBC). This electro hydraulic braking system achieves an even more dynamic braking feel, with impressive deceleration. In emergency braking, SBC reduces the car's stopping distance. It also enhances safety when braking during cornering, by optimizing the brake force distribution between the wheels.

Mercedes-Benz SL-500 has 8 V, 5.0 L engine that generates an output of 306 bhp @ 5600rpm and a torque of 460 Nm.

Performance

Experience a sense of rising expectations.

Honda heightens your driving enjoyment with a rare combination of spirited engine response and exceptional fuel efficiency. This ideal balance is achieved by Honda's next-generation 1.8-liter SOHC i-VTEC engine - the first entirely new Civic power plant in 17 years. Through Honda's advanced i-VTEC (Intelligent Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system and DBW (Drive By Wire) technology, it performs like two types of engines in one compact unit. At high engine loads, such as when starting from a standstill or stepping on the accelerator, DBW fully opens the throttle while VTEC optimizes intake valve timing to generate 2.0-liter-equivalent power. At low engine loads, such as during high-speed cruising, DBW narrows the throttle opening while VTEC delays valve closing to achieve 1.5-liter-equivalent fuel efficiency. Settings are intelligently switched in a seamless manner to ensure smooth, linear response at all revolutions

High-output mode rocker arm and fuel economy mode rocker arm are not inter-connected.

Valves operated according to high-output cam profile.

Safety

Advance Safety Measures.

In the event of collision, advanced safety feature provides supplemental protection of the driver and passengers. Dual SRS airbags for driver and front seat passenger help prevent head and torso injury by deploying in frontal collisions.

Trust the assurance of preeminent protection.

As your excitement builds with sporty performance, your confidence in dependable Civic protection also grows. Honda supplies advanced active safeguards - such as ABS (anti-lock braking system) with EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) - that help your avoid driving hazards. Count on Civic to care for your welfare as well as your driving pleasure

A gratifying escape.

Honda significantly raised torsional and dynamic
body rigidity while simultaneously reducing body weight through the extensive use of lightweight components like high-tension steel panels. The resulting solid structure contributes to a quiet ride further enhanced by well-placed insulation, refined aerodynamics and other measures 'that reduce noise and vibration from the engine, wind, and road. Honda purposely tuned the intake resonator, however, to emit an exhilarating engine growl during hard acceleration.

Cars or buses: computer simulation of a social and economic dilemma

We report computer simulation experiments to model the dilemma of using cars or mass transportation in large cities. The individual Pavlovian agents may cooperate with each other for the collective interest (public transportation) or may defect, i.e., pursue their selfish interests by driving their cars. Their decisions to cooperate or defect accumulate over time to produce a resulting collective order that determines the success or failure of the transportation system. The results show that it is quite possible to achieve a situation when the enormous majority of people prefer using mass transportation to driving cars.

Chemically specific imaging of cryptosporidium oocysts using coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy

We demonstrate the application of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy for the rapid, label-free chemical imaging of waterborne pathogens. Chemically selective images of cryptosporidium were acquired in just a few seconds using coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy, demonstrating its capability for the rapid detection of cryptosporidium at the single oocyst level. We discuss the applicability of such a technique in a near-real time automated water testing system.

Imaging metal oxide nanoparticles in biological structures with CARS microscopy

Metal oxide nanomaterials are being used for an increasing number of commercial applications, such as fillers, opacifiers, catalysts, semiconductors, cosmetics, microelectronics, and as drug delivery vehicles. The effects of these nanoparticles on the physiology of animals and in the environment are largely unknown and their potential associated health risks are currently a topic of hot debate. Information regarding the entry route of nanoparticles into exposed organisms and their subsequent localization within tissues and cells in the body are essential for understanding their biological impact. However, there is currently no imaging modality available that can simultaneously image these nanoparticles and the surrounding tissues without disturbing the biological structure. Due to their large nonlinear optical susceptibilities, which are enhanced by two-photon electronic resonance, metal oxides are efficient sources of coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS). We show that CARS microscopy can provide localization of metal oxide nanoparticles within biological structures at the cellular level. Nanoparticles of 20 – 70 nm in size were imaged within the fish gill; a structure that is a primary site of pollutant uptake into fish from the aquatic environment.
