OBJECTIVE Maternal glycaemia and anthropometry-derived newborn adiposity are strongly correlated. The children of mothers with diabetes are at greater risk of adverse metabolic health, and increased adiposity is a plausible mediator. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare adiposity in infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) and infants of mothers without diabetes (NIDM). DESI...

The girl’s 10-month-old brother, who was in a child restraint in the backseat, is also in critical condition. The accident happened when a car, thought to have been traveling at up to 80 kmph (the speed limit), failed to stop....

This paper tries to answer the following question: What type of support should be given to an automobile driver when it is determined, via some method to monitor the driver’s behavior and the traffic environment, that the driver’s intent may not be appropriate to a traffic condition? With a medium fidelity, moving-base driving simulator, three conditions were compared: (a) Warning type support ...

The research in this paper presents the detailed development and on-line evaluation of a microscopic traffic flow model for the city of Irvine in Southern California. This effort is the first stage of evaluating micro-simulators in terms of their ability to model and analyze Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) under faster-than-real-time conditions. We utilize “Paramics,” a particularly pr...

Driver fatigue detection plays an important role in intelligent transportation systems for driving safety. Therefore, it becomes an essential research issue these years. Recently, Horng and Chen proposed a real-time driver fatigue detection system based on eye tracking and dynamic template matching. In their work, the driver fatigue detection system consists of four parts: face detection, eye d...

This contribution focuses on two-party negotiation over continuous issues. We firstly prove two drawbacks of the jointly Improving Direction Method (IDM), namely that IDM is not a Strategy-Proof (SP) nor an Information Concealing (IC) method. Thus we prove that the concurrent lack of these two properties implies the actual nonefficiency of IDM. Finally we propose a probabilistic method which is...

This paper addresses two concerns with the state of the art in network revenue management with dependent demands. The first concern is that the basic attraction model (BAM), of which the multinomial model (MNL) is a special case, tends to be too optimistic in estimating demand spill. The second concern is that the choice based deterministic linear program (CBLP) currently in use to derive heuri...

This paper addresses two concerns with the state of the art in network revenue management with dependent demands. The first concern is that the basic attraction model (BAM), of which the multinomial model (MNL) is a special case, may overestimate recapture in certain cases. The second concern is that the choice based deterministic linear program (CBLP), currently in use to derive heuristics for...

In the development of driver adaptive and context aware active safety applications, driver–vehicle interaction signals offer excellent opportunities for advanced system design, yet limited progress has been realised. The implementation of driver adaptive and context aware systems requires longer time windows to analyse the current status of the driver and/or traffic situation ahead. In this stu...
