A novel three-dimensional (3D) microtubular NO field effect transistor (FET) sensor has been fabricated from 2D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets decorated with Ag nanoparticles, by applying the self-roll-up technique. The electrical properties of 2D and 3D Ag NP/rGO FET sensors have been investigated and compared. Finally, the performance of the 3D sensors has been demonstrated, where the preliminary results show that our 3D Ag NP/rGO FET NO sensor exhibits a relatively fast response (response time of 116 s) to 20 parts per million NO with a response of 4.

This skill is traditionally measured by recording response times to hazards in video clips of driving, with safer, experienced drivers often out-performing inexperienced drivers. This study assessed whether HP test performance is culturally specific by comparing Chinese, Spanish and UK drivers who watched clips filmed in all three countries.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTaxi drivers play an important role in providing safe and professional public transport services. However, they tend to be more involved than other professional driver groups in accidents caused by deliberate recklessness. This study used an event-related potential (ERP) experiment to examine risk-taking behavior arising from impulsivity by comparing the underlying neural processes of taxi drivers with and without traffic offence records in Hong Kong.

Eighty-four participants were instructed to complete a route in as short time as possible, but avoiding any violations or crashes. To achieve this aim, they had to decide to go or wait in the dilemma scenes, paired with the baseline scenes in several scenarios.

This study explored individual differences in drivers' decision-making, linking external behaviours to internal neural activity, to reveal the cognitive mechanisms of risky driving. Twenty-four male drivers were split into two groups (risky vs.
