functional definition. This uses the results from the level above and models the common system specification. Based on these abstract functional definitions, the Functional Design Architecture of EAST-ADL can be used to model a system architecture and a detailed functional design as well. These levels capture information before module specification and implementation. After that, the more speci...

We focus on a shared augmented environment (SAE) as an almost ideal face-to-face collaborative virtual workspace. In an SAE, multiple users can observe both a virtual world and real partners through optical see-through head mounted displays (STHMDs). This paper describes two experiments for verifying the effectiveness of an SAE compared with a conventional shared virtual environment (SVE) and e...

objectives: saffron is the stigma of crocus sativus l., which has the potentials to play a role in the treatment of many diseases. although many researches are now going on this precious spice, there are few data on saffron safety in human, especially in patients with chronic mental illnesses. this study aimed to evaluate the short-term safety and tolerability of both saffron and crocin (its ma...

Figure 1: Autonomous Formula SAE-Electric Car This dissertation describes the development of a high level control system for an autonomous Formula SAE race car featuring fusion of a 6-DOF IMU, a consumer grade GPS and an automotive LIDAR. Formula SAE is a long-running annual competition organised by the Society of Automotive Engineers which has recently seen the introduction of the new class SA...

The authors present a case of grade IV traumatic spleen rupture (AAST-OIS) and an Injury Severity Score of 21 and a Revised Trauma Score RTS=7.841, which was managed without surgery, but with proximal splenic angioembolization (SAE), with a positive outcome. Indications, types and side-effects of SAE are also discussed with regard to blunt spleen trauma and the benefits of SAE as non-operative ...

Based on the CAN bus (High-Speed CAN per ISO 11898), the SAE J1939 standard is used primarily to network the powertrain and chassis in commercial vehicles. The protocol creates a uniform foundation for communication between the electronic ECUs and operates by the plug-and-play principle. The J1939 standard is an active standard that currently consists of 19 documents (Figure 1). The responsible...

Introduction: Central obesity is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). It can increase cardio-metabolic risks through hypertension, hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance. Saffron and its bioactive compounds (crocin and crocetin) can modify some of metabolic disorders through multiple mechanisms. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of saffron and crocin on li...
