In the current study we examined the relationship between drivers’ eye movement patterns and driving performance in a dual-task driving paradigm. Drivers performed two tasks in a driving simulator. In a car following task, drivers were asked to maintain a constant headway from a leading vehicle as it varied its speed. In the second task (light detection task), drivers tried to detect changes in...

Mining trajectories (or moving object patterns) from spatio-temporal data is an active research field. Most of the researches are devoted to extract trajectories that differ in their structure and characteristic in order to capture different object behaviors. The first issue is constituted from the fact that all these methods extract thousand of patterns resulting in a huge amount of redundant ...

Longitudinal and lateral connectivity is important for mobile aquatic species in rivers reproductive migrations, recruitment, gene flow access to food resources across habitat types. Water resource developments such as dams levees may disrupt these connections, causing river fragmentation loss of highly productive habitats floodplain wetlands. We used sulfur stable isotopes a tracer estimate pa...

BACKGROUND Physiotherapy for people with low back pain frequently includes assessment and modification of lumbo-pelvic movement. Interventions commonly aim to restore normal movement and thereby reduce pain and improve activity limitation. The objective of this systematic review was to investigate: (i) the effect of movement-based interventions on movement patterns (muscle activation, lumbo-pel...

In this work, extraction of propionic acid from the aqueous phase to the organic phase (1-octanol) was performed in T-junction microchannels and effects of channel diameter and fluid flow rate on the mass transfer characteristics were investigated. The two-phase flow patterns in studied microchannels with 0.4 and 0.8 mm diameters were observed. Weber ‎ number and surface-to-volume ratio were ca...

Upper limb three-dimensional movement analysis (UL-3DMA) offers a reliable and valid tool to evaluate movement patterns in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP). However, it remains unknown to what extent the underlying motor impairments explain deviant movement patterns. Such understanding is key to develop efficient rehabilitation programs. Although UL-3DMA has been shown to be a usef...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to describe the movement patterns of middle-aged adults when rising from a bed and to determine whether there are age-related differences in movement patterns across the third through fifth decades of age. SUBJECTS Ninety-three adults (30 men, 63 women), ranging in age from 30 to 59 years, participated in the study. METHODS The subjects...

Movement patterns of individual entities at the geographic scale are becoming a prominent research focus in spatial sciences. One pertinent question is how cognitive and formal characterizations of movement patterns relate. In other words, are (mostly qualitative) formal characterizations cognitively adequate? This article experimentally evaluates movement patterns that can be characterized as ...

Collective phenomena and their associated movement patterns are ubiquitous in everyday life. However, even though we need to be able to reason about these phenomena, especially their movement patterns, research suggests that we do not currently possess the tools for doing so. Research has been carried out into the movement patterns of particular types of collective but there appears to be no re...
