This study presents a detailed analysis of the stability of weigh-in-motion sensors used at vehicle weighing stations. The objective of this research was a long-term assessment of reading variability, with a particular focus on the sensors' application in automated measurement stations. These investigations constitute a critical component of modern traffic management systems and vehicle overload control.

HSWIM (high speed weight-in-motion) systems enable measurement of a mass of vehicles passing through a measurement station without disturbing the traffic flow. This article focuses on the calibration of a weighing station for moving vehicles, where strain gauge sensors are used to measure pressures.

The application of ANNs has been provided with respect to the prediction of antimicrobial potency of new pyridine derivatives based on their structural descriptors generated by calculation chemistry. Antifungal activity against C.
