There is increasing interest in applying systems Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) methods sport. Risk assessment (RA) can be used identify risks which may impact the performance of individual athletes, teams, overall sports systems; however, they have not yet been tested This study sets out to apply compare three thinking-based RA context elite report on frequency types identified. The System...

Automated vehicles are a revolutionary step in mobility, providing safe and convenient riding experience while keeping the human-driving task minimal to none. Therefore, these intelligent equipped with sophisticated perception sensors (e.g., cameras radars), high-performance computers, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven algorithms, connectivity other internet-of-things (IoT) devices. This make...

Model enteric bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica express hundreds of small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs), targets for most of which are yet unknown. Some sRNAs are remarkably well conserved, indicating that they serve cellular functions that go beyond the necessities of a single species. One of these 'core sRNAs' of largely unknown function is the abundant ∼100-nucleotide SdsR ...

The H-NS nucleoid-associated DNA-binding protein is an important global repressor of transcription in Gram-negative bacteria. Recently, H-NS has been implicated in the process of xenogeneic silencing, where it represses the transcription of foreign genes acquired by horizontal transfer. This raises interesting questions about the integration of the horizontally acquired genes into the existing ...

There exist numerous indexing methods which handle either spatio-temporal or high-dimensional data well. However, those indexing methods which handle spatio-temporal data well have certain drawbacks when confronted with high-dimensional data. As the most efficient spatio-temporal indexing methods are based on the R-tree and its variants, they face the well known problems in high-dimensional spa...

The fundamental challenge facing security professionals is preventing losses, be they operational, financial or mission losses. As a result, one could argue that security professionals share this challenge with safety professionals. Despite their shared challenge, there is little evidence that recent advances that enable one community to better prevent losses have been shared with the other for...
