background: due to their specific nature, such as high incidence, high intensity and direct involvement of all members of society, traffic injuries are of particular importance. through a mega data, this study investigated the epidemiological aspects and depict current situation of road traffic injuries in iran. methods: using legal medicine and traffic police data, deaths from road traffic inj...

Human impact plays an increasing role on vegetation change even on the Tibetan Plateau, an area that is commonly regarded as an ideal place to study climate change. We evaluate the nature and extent of human impact on vegetation dynamics by the comparison of two areas: the relative highly populated Lhasa area and a nearby less populated Lhari County. Our results indicate that human impact has m...

This study is a part of an ongoing ISA project in Denmark. Its aim was to clarify two human factors issues, (1) the difference in attitude between ISA-volunteers and non-volunteers, and (2) the relative impact on speeding of two factors, ISA-information and driver motivation. The first part of the study compared survey data from ISA-volunteers with those of non-volunteers. The two groups differ...

Currently, the existing vehicle-centric semi-autonomous driving modules do not consider driver’s situation and emotions. In an autonomous environment, when changing to manual driving, human–machine interface advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are essential assist vehicle driving. This study proposes a that considers emotions enhance ADAS. A 1D convolutional neural network model based on ...

background : toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide obligate intercellular parasite. felids are its definitive host and warm-blooded animals including humans are its intermediate host. the aim of this seroepidemiological study was to investigate the frequency of human infection using elisa method and related risk factors in tabriz city, northwestern iran. methods : in this cross sectional study, 171 ...

Driving behavior modeling is of great importance for designing safe, smart, and personalized autonomous driving systems. In this paper, an internal reward function-based model that emulates the human’s decision-making mechanism utilized. To infer function parameters from naturalistic human data, we propose a structural assumption about focuses on discrete latent intentions. It converts continuo...

BACKGROUND Alcohol consumption and drink/driving are positively correlated and many predictors of alcohol use also predict drink/driving. Past research has not fully distinguished the contributions of personal risk factors from the level of alcohol use in the prediction of drink/driving. As a result, the extent to which predictors are specific to drink/driving, versus due to a mutual associatio...

A new model for predicting automobile driving posture is presented. The model, based on data from a study of 68 men and women in 18 vehicle package and seat conditions, is designed for use in posturing the human figure models that are increasingly used for vehicle interior design. The model uses a series of independent regression models, coupled with data-guided inverse kinematics, to fit a who...

driven precast reinforced concrete piles (dprcp) is extensively used as a foundation for bridges constructed over canals in egypt in order to avoid the diversion of water canals. the objectives of this research include identifying the main activities of dprcp execution in the bridge-construction industry in egypt and the risk factors affecting them. in addition, assessment of the effects of the...
