Post Take-Over Performance Varies in Drivers of Automated and Connected Vehicle Technology in Near-Miss Scenarios.

Objective: This study examined the impact of monitoring instructions when using an automated driving system (ADS) and road obstructions on post take-over performance in near-miss scenarios.

Background: Past research indicates partial ADS reduces the driver's situation awareness and degrades post take-over performance. Connected vehicle technology may alert drivers to impending hazards in time to safely avoid near-miss events.

Open-Circuit Voltage ( ) Enhancement in TiO-Based DSSCs: Incorporation of ZnO Nanoflowers and Au Nanoparticles.

An important reason for the relatively low efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is the low open-circuit voltage ( ) of about 0.7 V for a standard solar cell with a dye that has an absorption onset at 1.6 eV.

Are Constant Pain, Night Pain, or Abnormal Neurological Examination Adequate Predictors of the Presence of a Significant Pathology Associated With Pediatric Back Pain?

Introduction: Previous studies have suggested that most cases of pediatric back pain do not have an identifiable cause. No reliable sign or indication differentiates between a benign or serious cause of the symptom. Constant pain, night pain, and abnormal neurological examination have been suggested as adequate predictors of an identifiable cause, when plain radiographs could not explain the symptoms.

Quality in triage: indicators in patients with respiratory disease.

Objectives: The objective was to apply quality indicators in respiratory disease triage during a set time period.

Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive, and comparative study of all patients attending the emergency department of Acosta Ñu Children's Hospital with breathing difficulty, between January 1 and July 31, 2011.

Results: Two thousand five hundred eighty-two patients were included in the study.
