Binocular gaze was measured accurately under natural conditions with the Maryland Revolving Field Monitor to determine how visual-clarity affects gaze-accuracy. The gaze of 3 unrestrained, seated subjects (2 presbyopes and 1 myope) was recorded as they tapped 4 LEDs with a long, narrow rod cemented to a thimble worn on their index fingers. They wore positive contact lenses, permitting very clear vision only nearby, within 35 cm. This task was hard. It took more than 7 seconds to complete. Gaze-accuracy varied inversely with target-distance. Gaze was less accurate when targets were nearby, and seen clearly, than when targets were farther away and harder to see. This result was not anticipated. It implies that gaze is accurate in order to see clearly and not because targets can be seen clearly.

With the rapid development of the autonomous vehicles industry, there has been a dramatic proliferation of research concerned with related works, where road markings detection is an important issue. When there is no public open data in a field, we must collect road markings data and label them by ourselves manually, which is huge labor work and takes lots of time. Moreover, object detection often encounters the problem of small object detection.

In this work, for the first time, the sorption behaviour of platinum and palladium on polyethylene microplastics (PE-MP) was studied. To simulate natural conditions, part of PE-MP was subjected to the ageing process in lake water under the influence of solar radiation. The original and aged PE-MP was characterised using elemental analysis, FT-IR, SEM-EDX, and nitrogen porosimetry methods.

An ice slurry or an emulsion of a phase change material (PCM) is a multiphase working fluid from the so-called Latent Functional Thermal Fluid (LFTF) group. LFTF is a fluid that uses, in addition to specific heat, the specific enthalpy of the phase change of its components to transfer heat. Another fluid type has joined the LFTF group: a slurry of encapsulated phase change material (PCM).

The demand for the use of secondary batteries is increasing rapidly worldwide in order to solve global warming and achieve carbon neutrality. Major minerals used to produce cathode materials, which are key raw materials for secondary batteries, are treated as conflict minerals due to their limited reserves, and accordingly, research on the battery recycling industry is urgent for the sustainable secondary battery industry. There is a significant risk of accidents because there is a lack of prior research data on the battery recycling process and various chemicals are used in the entire recycling process.
