situation awareness is an important factor in the incidence of industrial accidents. improving situation awareness may help to prevent occupational accidents. determination of factors influencing the situation awareness will help to plan and implement the measures for improving working conditions and making a safer workplace. in this study, was examined the role of work overload and sleepiness ...

The mechanical properties of cells are considered promising biomarkers for the early diagnosis of cancer. Recently, atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based nanoindentation technology has been utilized for the examination of cell cortex mechanics in order to distinguish malignant cells from normal cells. However, few attempts to evaluate the biomechanical properties of cells have focused on the quan...

The basis of the quantitative conical/pyramidal (nano) indentation, without fittings, iterations, or simulations, is the physically founded FN=k h 3/2 relation. The constant k (penetration resistance, mN/μm3/2) from linear plot with excellent regression discards initial surface effects, identifies important phase transformation onsets, conversion and activation energies, and reveals errors. The...

Downie, D., C. Antipatis, M. I. Delday, C. A. Maltin, and A. A. Sneddon. Moderate maternal vitamin A deficiency alters myogenic regulatory protein expression and perinatal organ growth in the rat. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 288: R73–R79, 2005. First published September 30, 2004; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00186.2004.— Vitamin A deficiency is one of the most common dietary deficiencies in t...

The now physically founded exponent 3/2 that governs the relation of normal force to depth3/2 in conical/pyramidal indentation is a physically founded (FN = k h 3/2). Strictly linear plots obtain non-iterated penetration resistance k (mN/ μm3/2) as slope, initial effects (including tip rounding), adhesion energy, and phase transitions with their transformation energy and activation energy. The ...

Background. During face-to-face questioning typically developing children and adults use gaze aversion (GA), away from their questioner, when thinking. GA increases with question difficulty and improves the accuracy of responses (e.g. Glenberg et al., 1998; Phelps, Doherty-Sneddon & Warnock, 2006). This is the first study to investigate whether individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; as...

Quinidine and its stereoisomer quinine suppress various membrane conductances in a variety of cells Recently quinidine has been classified as a putative blocker of the Na-Ca exchange in heart muscle (Mentrard et al. 1984; Chapman et al. 1984). The effects of quinidine on the contractile responses of the ureter muscle of the guinea-pig associated with both the entry of Ca via voltage-operated Ca...

ERYTHEMA exudativum multiforme is a specific skin disease of unknown aetiology which may be associated with various syndromes in which the mucous membranes-conjunctiva, lips, bronchi and ano-genital region-are affected, and consequently fall in the domain of the dermatologist, physician, ophthalmologist and uro-genital surgeon. As its name implies, erythema multiforme is characterised by the va...
