We present an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) human-robot interaction simulation environment to evaluate operator situational awareness (SA) during Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. We have developed a modular simulator that functions as a testbed for the design of custom scenarios and the study of human-robot interaction. This simulator facilitates data collection and allows for the c

Background: It has been shown that the socio-geographical environment of residential areas, such as altitude, affects the health status and health-maintenance behavior of residents. Here, we examined a hypothesis that altitude of residence would influence glycemic control in a general elderly population living in a rural area. Methods: A thousand and sixteen participants living in a mountainous re

Aim: To present the utilization of a highly interactive, internet-based, package for ophthalmological content. Summary of work: The clinical ophthalmology rotation in Malmö is a 6 weeks on-campus period integrated with ENT. Weekly interactive internet-based theory parts include, (1) a PBL scenario (pathophysiology and basic sciences), (2) a series of case presentations (management principles), (3)

The apposition compound eye of the nocturnal polistine wasp Apoica pallens shows, in comparison to the closely related diurnal wasp Polistes occidentalis, specific adaptations to vision at low light intensities. When considering recent work on nocturnal and diurnal bees, general principles for dim-light vision in hymenopterans become evident: The rhabdom diameters in nocturnal bees and wasps are 4

OBJECTIVE: Nedocromil sodium (nedocromil) improves the clinical condition of asthmatic subjects but its mechanism of action is not fully understood. This study aimed to determine whether nedocromil alters the ability of contractile and relaxant non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neural (NANC) responses to stabilise tone by inhibiting or potentiating these responses in bronchial smooth muscle and, if

Body position changes (BPCs) are manifested as shifts in the electrical axis of the heart, which may lead to ST changes in the ECG, misclassified as ischemic events. This paper presents a novel BPC detector based on a Laplacian noise model. It is assumed that a BPC can be modelled as a step-like change in the two coefficient series that result from the Karhunen-Loeve transform of the QRS complex a

Waste heat recovery systems for power generation are gaining interest among the marine transport sector as a solution to accomplish the upcoming more restrictive regulations on emissions, and to reduce the total fuel consumption. In this paper we evaluate how a waste heat recovery system based on a regenerative organic Rankine cycle (rORC) could improve the performance of a passenger vessel. The c

Objective: To see whether there was an increasing incidence of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and gastric cardia in the Swedish population. If there is a rising trend and variations in it can be found, could it be explained as a period or cohort phenomenon:? The data were also compared with the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma and gastric cancer with the gastric cardia excluded. Design: Retr

In this paper we analyze the effects of body shadowing in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channels used for personal area networks (PANs). We give physical reasoning to why PANs may experience two different types of shadowing, and to support our argument, we present results from a measurement campaign for three different PAN channels with human influence. The campaign is performed using diff

The ages of the oldest stars in the Galaxy indicate when star formationbegan, and provide a minimum age for the Universe. Radioactive dating ofmeteoritic material and stars relies on comparing the present abundanceratios of radioactive and stable nuclear species to the theoreticallypredicted ratios of their production. The radioisotope ²³²Th(half-life 14Gyr) has been used to date Galact

Objective: To determine the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely preterm infants born before 27 weeks' gestation in Sweden during a 3-year period. Methods: A national, prospective, population-based study was performed in Sweden from April 1, 2004, to March 31, 2007. The ophthalmologic part of the study was separately organized, and screening for ROP was performed beginning po

We develop an agent-based model in which heterogeneous and boundedly rational agents interact by trading a risky asset at an endogenously set price. Agents are endowed with balance sheets comprising the risky asset as well as cash on the asset side and equity capital as well as debt on the liabilities side. A number of findings emerge when simulating the model: we find that the empirically observa

Alternative fuels for combustion engines are becoming increasingly popular as society is pushing to phase out fossil energy to reduce CO2 emissions. The compression ignition (CI) engine has a high overall efficiency which makes it a valuable option for the transport fleet, despite the well known NOx and soot pollutants it emits. These two pollutants are emitted due to a combination of high local cAlternative fuels for combustion engines are becoming increasingly popular as society is pushing to phase out fossil energy to reduce CO2 emissions.

We characterize the selection function of RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) using 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) as our underlying population, which we assume represents all stars that could have potentially been observed.We evaluate the completeness fraction as a function of position, magnitude and colour in two ways: first, on a field-by-field basis, and second, in equal-size areas on the sky.
