Spatial reference frames and driver performance.

Ergonomics

Published: September 1996

A survey of the relationship between visual reference frame dependence and driving performance is presented. Inter-individual differences in driving are related to three spatial reference frames: visual, gravito-inertial and egocentred. Their pertinence in driving is shown both in theory and experimentally. The experiment (with 36 subjects) presented here studied the basic activity of steering control in a simulated driving task. Results showed that steering control quality (estimated by time to line crossing) was significantly better among subjects who are relatively independent of visual or egocentred reference frames.

Remote Radio Frequency Sensing Based on 5G New Radio Positioning Reference Signals.

Institute of Telecommunications, AGH University of Krakow, al. Mickiewicza 30, 30-059 Krakow, Poland.

In this paper, the idea of a radar based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is applied to 5G NR Positioning Reference Signals (PRS). This study demonstrates how the estimation of the communication channel using the PRS can be applied for the identification of objects moving near the 5G NR receiver. In this context, this refers to a 5G NR base station capable of detecting a high-speed train (HST).

Mental representation of spatial information relies on egocentric (body-based) and allocentric (environment-based) frames of reference. Research showed that spatial memory deteriorates as Alzheimer's disease (AD) progresses and that allocentric spatial memory is among the earliest impaired areas. Most studies have been conducted in static situations despite the dynamic nature of real-world spatial processing.

Tissue Paper Softness: A Comparison Between Different Experimental Assessment Approaches.

January 2025

Fiber Materials and Environmental Technologies Research Unit (FibEnTech-UBI), University da Beira Interior, R. Marquês D'Ávila e Bolama, 6201-001 Covilhã, Portugal.

In this work, four different experimental assessment approaches, namely, the Tissue Softness Analyzer (TSA), a Subjective Evaluation (SUB), the Kawabata Evaluation System (KES), and an Optical System (OPT), were used for the evaluation of softness on a set of 29 different tissue paper products. After processing and the interpretation of the results given by each one of the used methods, a procedure was implemented in the current work to make a comparison between them. The procedure consists in tracking the position of the tissue paper products on a ranking table, regardless of what values were obtained through each one of the four used methods independently.

(1) Background: In recent years, the increasing emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens in pig farms has begun to pose a severe threat to animal welfare and, by extension, public health. In this study, we aimed to explore the biological characteristics and genomic features of bacteriophages that are capable of lysing porcine multidrug-resistant , which was isolated from sewage. In doing so, we provided a reference for phage therapies that can be used to treat multidrug-resistant strains.
