The RHODES-Integrated Traffic Management System Program addresses the design and development of a real-time traffic adaptive control system for an integrated system of freeways and arterial roads. The goals of this project were to test coordinated, adaptive ramp metering using the Multi-Objective, Integrated, Large-Scale, and Optimized System (MILOS) software on a major urban freeway. A 7-mile eastbound segment of I-10 in Phoenix, just west of the I-10/I-17 Interchange, was chosen as the study area because of the availability of data, and because of recurring congestion.

The relatively new technique of solid phase microextraction (SPME) is an important tool to prepare samples both in the lab and on-site. SPME is a "green" technology because it eliminates organic solvents from analytical laboratory and can be used in environmental, food and fragrance, and forensic and drug analysis. This handbook offers a thorough background of the theory and practical implementation of SPME. SPME protocols are presented outlining each stage of the method and providing useful tips and potential pitfalls. In addition, devices and fiber coatings, automated SPME systems, SPME method development, and In Vivo applications are discussed. This handbook is essential for its discussion of the latest SPME developments as well as its in depth information on the history, theory, and practical application of the method. - Practical application of Solid Phase Microextraction methods including detailed steps - Provides history of extraction methods to better understand the process - Suitable for all levels, from beginning student to experienced practitioner
