The relationships between photosynthesis and initial water deficit stress were investigated by chlorophyll fluorescence analysis in Pulmonaria vallarsae, a shade tolerant, perennial C3 herb by following changes of light response curves (LRCs) in single leaves during water shortage. We devised an LRC model based on two interacting rectangular hyperbolae (DH model) for the low (H1) and the high irradiance regions (H2), characterized by two parameters: maximum extrapolated ETR (V1, V2) and half-saturation irradiance (K1, K2). While H1 is assumed to represent an ETR-related function, H2 may reflect Rubisco activity.

Objective: Automatic emergency braking systems with pedestrian detection (PAEB) are effective at preventing pedestrian crashes, but the safety benefits are not observed at night. This study used the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) PAEB test data to characterize PAEB responses in different lighting conditions and for different rated systems.
Methods: Data from 6,919 IIHS PAEB tests were retrieved from IIHS databases.

The advancement in extraterrestrial exploration has highlighted the crucial need for studying how the human cardiovascular system adapts to space conditions. Human development occurs under the influence of gravity, shielded from space radiation by Earth's magnetic field, and within an environment characterized by 24-hour day-night cycles resulting from Earth's rotation, thus deviating from these conditions necessitates adaptive responses for survival. With upcoming manned lunar and Martian missions approaching rapidly, it is essential to understand the impact of various stressors induced by outer-space environments on cardiovascular health.
