The purpose of this research was to compare vigilance performance over time for visual, auditory, and vibrotactile tasks, while simultaneously recording oxygenation in the frontal lobe to assess physiological resource utilization. Subjective workload was assessed in each condition using the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX). The data indicate a significant effect of time-on-task in all experiment...

The operation of the electricity sector has resulted in more sophisticated equipment and requires more attention from operators. This results in increased cognitive load and environments more conducive to error, which can cause failures that result in significant economic losses, physical damage, or threats to human life. This research aims to evaluate the workload of the operators in two Elect...

Abstract OBJECTIVE To describe the feasibility and technique for performing laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS) of liver in dogs. ANIMALS 12 client-owned dogs presenting elective surgery from January 1, 2022, to October 31, 2022. METHODS Laparoscopic exploration LUS were performed all Dogs positioned reverse Trendelenburg laterally rotated facilitate access lobes. Time perform LUS, ability visualize ...

Methods: Six male pilots participated in traffic pattern flight in a flight simulator. A head-mounted SIM-ETG60 eye tracking system was conducted in measuring total amount of eye movement and average of pupil diameter in five different flight phases, which contained last 10 s of cruise on the downwind leg, mid 10 s of turn and descend on the base leg, first 10 s, mid 10 s and last 10 s of final...

In this pilot study, the authors employed a basic driving simulator to examine both driving behavior and task performance as subjects performed music retrieval tasks using one of three variants of the ”SpeakPod” voice search prototype. The variants shared speech and manual interface designs but differed in visual output capabilities. Preliminary data indicate that the chosen variant and the pre...

Tlx (Hox11) genes are orphan homeobox genes that play critical roles in the regulation of early developmental processes in vertebrates. Here, we report the identification and expression patterns of three members of the zebrafish Tlx family. These genes share similar, but not identical, expression patterns with other vertebrate Tlx-1 and Tlx-3 genes. Tlx-1 is expressed early in the developing hi...
