Semi-autonomous cars are already on the road and highly autonomous cars will soon be with us. Little is understood about how drivers will adapt to the changing relationship with their vehicle, but to ensure safety and consumer acceptance, this insight is vital. To this end, an on-road study in a semi-autonomous vehicle was undertaken with six UK drivers. The 'think aloud' technique was employed and video and audio footage of their interaction with the vehicle was captured. Neisser's (1976) Perceptual Cycle Model (PCM) was used to analyse the data and three case studies are presented to highlight how poor synergy between driver and semi-autonomous vehicles can occur from the lens of Schema, Action or World information. Seven key design considerations are proposed to ensure a more positive and safer interaction between driver and autonomous vehicle to guide focus by manufacturers. Further evidence for the existence of a 'counter cycle' (Plant and Stanton, 2015) within the PCM is found and how this relates to the challenges of using verbal protocals expressed during a fast moving dynamic task is discussed.

Article Synopsis
- The auditory system can precisely track quick changes in sound, but the importance of this ability (temporal fine structure or TFS) for hearing is still debated.
- Researchers studied 200 participants to see how TFS sensitivity affects speech perception in noisy environments.
- Results showed that better TFS sensitivity helped more with listening in reverberant spaces and led to quicker responses, suggesting it plays a key role in everyday hearing experiences.

Purpose: 7 days L-citrulline supplementation has been reported to improve blood pressure, O kinetics, gastrointestinal (GI) perfusion and endurance cycling performance through increasing arterial blood flow. In situations where blood volume is compromised (e.g.

Background: Numerous studies have explored image processing techniques aimed at enhancing ultrasound images to narrow the performance gap between low-quality portable devices and high-end ultrasound equipment. These investigations often use registered image pairs created by modifying the same image through methods like down sampling or adding noise, rather than using separate images from different machines. Additionally, they rely on organ-specific features, limiting the models' generalizability across various imaging conditions and devices.

The underwater imaging process is often hindered by high noise levels, blurring, and color distortion due to light scattering, absorption, and suspended particles in the water. To address the challenges of image enhancement in complex underwater environments, this paper proposes an underwater image color correction and detail enhancement model based on an improved Cycle-consistent Generative Adversarial Network (CycleGAN), named LPIPS-MAFA CycleGAN (LM-CycleGAN). The model integrates a Multi-scale Adaptive Fusion Attention (MAFA) mechanism into the generator architecture to enhance its ability to perceive image details.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how cycling performance is affected by low oxygen levels (hypoxia) at different exercise intensities (lactate thresholds 1 and 2) while keeping heart rate constant.
- Results showed that power output (PO) was significantly lower in hypoxic conditions at lower intensity (LT1), while differences at higher intensity (LT2) only appeared later in the exercise duration.
- Overall, the findings suggest that exercising in simulated altitude (∼3500 m) primarily decreases cycling power at lower intensities, indicating that hypoxia impacts performance more at these levels while not significantly affecting other internal physiological responses.
