46 AI MAGAZINE With the advance of automation and infotainment systems in vehicles, driving can be perceived as a comprehensive interactive activity occurring among human drivers and their vehicles. Classically, these users were considered the supervisors of the automated systems running in the cars. In the last decade, we have seen progress toward more autonomous driving automation, including ...

a field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of haloxyfop-r-methyl ester doses in different grass weeds in various growing stages in safflower during 2011-2012 growing season in research farm of college of agriculture, shiraz university. the study was carried our as split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replicates. the main factor, sub factor and sub sub fa...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new inline motion compensation approach called image-based navigation with Constant Respiratory efficiency UsIng Single End-expiratory threshold (iNAV-CRUISE) for coronary MR angiography (CMRA). METHODS The CRUISE gating technique was combined with iNAV motion correction and implemented inline for motion-compensated CMRA on a 1.5 Tesla scann...

The design optimization of a wing for supersonic transport by means of Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) is presented. The objective function is to minimize the drag for transonic cruise, the drag for supersonic cruise and the bending moment at the wing root for the supersonic condition. The wing shape is defined by planform, thickness distributions and warp shapes, in total of 66 design ...

The cruise industry is growing in scale and importance annually. Influences such as multiculturalism, globalisation, the increase in numbers of mega-cruise ships and changing passenger demography, suggest that the work environment is not as it might once have been and yet there is very little research to reveal insights into this complex and seemingly unique world. This paper aims to find out w...

Interactions between herbicides and vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi are little-known but may differentially affect the development of tolerant and susceptible plants. We conducted this greenhouse study to determine if VAM fungi modify the effects of the herbicide bentazon (3isopropyllH-2 ,1 ,3-benzothid iaz in(4)3H-one 2,2-dioxide) on soybean (Glyc ine max (L.) Merr.) and common co...

Cruise tourism generates an estimated $18 billion a year in passenger expenditure and has been the fastest growing sector of the travel industry in the last years. Arrivals in the Caribbean region increased from three million in 1980 to more than 25 million in 2007. In this paper we describe the evolution of the cruise industry and review the experiences of different cruise destinations. We als...

a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of varying doses of haloxifhope-r-methyl ester herbicide on grass weeds grown at various stages in 2011-2012 growing season in research farm of college of agriculture, shiraz university. the study was carried out as split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replicates. treatments were haloxifhope-r-methyl ester ...

A study was carried out over 2 years (2008/2009 and 2009/2010) in Greece, in order to evaluate the weed control using reduced rates of the herbicide mesosulfuron-methyl+iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium of four major weeds (Avena sterilis, Phalaris minor, Papaver rhoeas and Sinapis arvensis), grain yield and yield components of five wheat cultivars (Bob, Cosmodur, Meridiano, Quadrato and Simeto). The ...

BACKGROUND International travellers are at a risk of infectious diseases not seen in their home country. Stomach upsets are common in travellers, including on cruise ships. This study compares the incidence of stomach upsets on land- and cruise-based holidays. METHODS A major British tour operator has administered a Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ) to UK resident travellers aged 16 o...
