Artificial Environments and an Aging Population: Designing for Age-Related Functional Losses

Age-related functional field losses are not eccentricity dependent

Previous studies have found an increase in peripheral target localization errors in normally sighted older adults. These results have been interpreted as indicative of a constriction of the "useful field of view". In the present study, we parametrically manipulated masking, distractors and stimulus luminance and examined the relationships between peripheral target localization and age. We found...

AN AMALGAMATED METHOD FOR ESTIMATING AGE-RELATED CENTILES

Dynamics of cognitive aging: distinguishing functional age and disease from chronologic age in a population.

This paper introduces a methodological approach to the dynamics of cognitively normal (i.e., successful) aging compared with aging accompanied by different types of cognitive impairment and dementia. Using secondary analysis of a national representative database (Canadian Study of Health and Aging, 1991-1992), the authors show that the occurrence of an adverse event (symptom, sign, or disease),...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
