The aim of this note is to establish two known sums involving central binomial coefficients via a hypergeometric series approach. As an application, we discover two new closed-form evaluations of generalized hypergeometric function.

A family of $Ap{\acute{e}}ry$-like series involving reciprocals of central binomial coefficients is studied and it is shown that they represent transcendental numbers. The structure of such series is further examined in terms of finite combinations of logarithms and arctangents with arguments and coefficients belonging to a suitable algebraic extension of rationals. Monotonicity of certain quotients of weighted binomial sums which arise in the study of competitive cheap talk models is established with the help of a continuous extension of the discrete model at hand. The monotonic behavior of such quotients turns out to have important applications in game theory.

The aim of this note is to provide two new and interesting closed-form evaluations of the generalized hypergeometric function ₅F₄ with argument $\frac{1}{256}$. This is achieved by means of separating a generalized hypergeometric function into even and odd components together with the use of two known sums (one each) involving reciprocals of binomial coefficients obtained earlier by Trif and Sprugnoli. In the end, the results are written in terms of two interesting combinatorial identities.

This study deals with the traffic accident of circular intersections. The purpose of the study is to develop the accident models by traffic violation type. In pursuing the above, this study gives particular attention to analyzing various factors that influence traffic accident and developing such the optimal models as Poisson and Negative binomial regression models. The main results are the followings. First, 4 negative binomial models which were statistically significant were developed. This was because the over-dispersion coefficients had a value greater than 1.96. Second, the common variables in these models were not adopted. The specific variables by model were analyzed to be traffic volume, conflicting ratio, number of circulatory lane, width of circulatory lane, number of traffic island by access road, number of reduction facility, feature of central island and crosswalk.
