Natural Disasters like cyclones and Earthquakes have a huge impact on the lives of people, results in damage to infrastructure, lead injuries deaths. IoT Based detection systems are utilized for detecting disasters performing subsequent rescue operations. The challenge with these is that collecting data from sensors might be failed due communication breakages or network congestions. To address ...

This study of 72 undergraduate men examined the effects of two determinants of cardiovascular response-active coping and vigilance-on blood pressure and heart rate responses to social stressors. Observation of a future debate partner (i.e., vigilance) evoked larger increases in blood pressure than did observation of a less relevant person, apparently through the combination of increases in card...

Objective: Marriage has been introduced as the most important and main communication factor between humans. Infidelity in marriage is one of the most damaging problems that affect commitment and marriage relationships. The present study investigated the role of early maladaptive schemas in predicting components of marital infidelity. Methods: This study attempted to determine the role of early...

The vigilance of surgeons while operating is an important consideration for patient safety. Using a lightweight mobile eyegaze tracker, we can objectively observe and quantify a surgeon's vigilance measured as the frequency and duration of time spent gazing at an anaesthesia monitor displaying various patient vital signs. Expert surgeons and training surgical residents had their eyegaze recorde...

To follow the European Directive 2001/20/EC, institutional sponsors created or reinforced their vigilance units. Since 2007, working group “REflexion sur la VIgilance et Sécurité des Essais” (REVISE) rallies French units (IVUs) to share experience. The decided elaborate a collective work provide real-life descriptive picture of IVUs activities and resources over 2011–2016 period.

Anti-predator benefits increase with vigilance rate and group size in many species of animal, while simultaneously resource intake rates usually decrease. This implies that there is an optimal group size and vigilance rate that will maximize individual fitness. While this basic theory of vigilance has been modelled and tested extensively, it has often been assumed that the predator represents a...

Animals generally allocate some time during foraging to detecting predators. We used a combination of observations and an experiment to examine how vegetation height and peripheral obstructions influence vigilance by foraging yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris). First, we analyzed a large sample of observations of marmots foraging in nature. Marmots increased vigilance with vegetation...

The ability to remain vigilant over long periods of time is critical for many everyday tasks, but controlled studies of visual sustained attention show that performance declines over time when observers are required to respond to rare stimulus events (targets) occurring in a sequence of standard stimulus events (nontargets). When target discrimination is perceptually difficult, this vigilance d...

INTRODUCTION Behavioral experiments on reaction time indicate that anxious subjects' vigilance-related attention is biased towards threatening words, though direct data on cerebral activity associated to this bias are conspicuously scarce. METHODS In the present study, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from 30 subjects, grouped according to their scores in trait and state anxiety ...
