In this report, we present a methodology for assessing the benefits of different vehicle coordination strategies on the safety of a platoon during emergency braking. One can say that a coordinated braking strategy B is more beneficial than a strategy A, if strategy B leads to a larger reduction in the probability of a collision, the expected number of collisions, and the expected relative veloc...

In order to more fully understand the abnormalities in emotional responding associated with adolescent depression we examined clinically depressed and non-depressed adolescents' physiological responses to their parents' negative emotional behavior, as indexed by their heart rate responses to parental angry and dysphoric behavior during laboratory-based interactions. Maternal angry and dysphoric...

BACKGROUND Heart failure prediction after acute myocardial infarction may have important clinical implications. OBJECTIVE To analyze the functional echocardiographic variables associated with heart failure in an infarction model in rats. METHODS The animals were divided into two groups: control and infarction. Subsequently, the infarcted animals were divided into groups: with and without he...

In order to explore the change in internal and external characteristics pressure fluctuation of large bulb tubular pump unit during deceleration, a transient steady three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulation is executed, based on standard k-? turbulence model boundary conditions such as flow rate. Finally, data are analyzed by wavelet method. There good agreement between experimental results. ...

Cue-paced motor imagery (MI) is a frequently used mental strategy to realize a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Recently it has been reported that two MI tasks can be separated with a high accuracy within the first second after cue presentation onset. To investigate this phenomenon in detail we studied the dynamics of motor cortex beta oscillations in EEG and the changes in heart rate (HR) durin...

With the advent of our ability to clone and express a foreign gene in the heterologous host, came a remarkable capability to make almost any protein in abundant quantity to be used as therapeutic or diagnostic agents. It quickly led to the realization that proteins made in different hosts are different in many ways, particularly in their post-translation modifications. In this review a variety ...

the large amount of computation necessary for obtaining time optimal solution for moving a manipulator on specified path has made it impossible to introduce an on line time optimal control algorithm. most of this computational burden is due to calculation of switching points. in this paper a learning algorithm is proposed for finding the switching points. the method, which can be used for both ...
