Mechanisms underlying cognitive conspicuity in the detection of cyclists by car drivers.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the visibility of cyclists for motorists in a simulated car driving task.

Background: In several cases involving collisions between cars and cyclists, car drivers failed to detect the latter in time to avoid collision because of their low conspicuity.

Method: 2 groups of motorists (29.

Multiplex Antibody Detection for Noninvasive Genus-Level Diagnosis of Prosthetic Joint Infection.

We developed and evaluated a multiplex antibody detection-based immunoassay for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). Sixteen protein antigens from three Staphylococcusspecies (Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus lugdunensis) (8 antigens),Streptococcus agalactiae(4 antigens), and Propionibacterium acnes(4 antigens) were selected by comparative immune proteomics using serum samples from PJI cases versus controls. A bead-based multiplex immunoassay that measured serum IgG against purified, recombinant forms of each of the 16 antigens was developed.

Low conspicuity of motorcycles for car drivers: dominant role of bottom-up control of visual attention or deficit of top-down control?

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the low visibility of motorcycles is the result of their low cognitive conspicuity and/or their low sensory conspicuity for car drivers.

Background: In several cases of collision between a car and a motorcycle, the car driver failed to detect the motorcyclist in time to avoid the collision.

Method: To test the low cognitive conspicuity hypothesis, 42 car drivers (32.
