Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Driving Performance and Safety in EV Car-Following: A Simulator Comparison of One-Pedal and Two-Pedal Modes

World Electric Vehicle Journal
With the increasing adoption of regenerative braking technology in electric vehicles (EVs), one-pedal driving (OPD) mode has become a prevalent feature. While OPD offers technical advantages in energy efficiency, its implications for driver behavior and ...

Identification of Influencing Factors on Proenvironmental Behaviour and Construction of a Causal Loop Diagram

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the limitations of reductionist approaches to citizens' proenvironmental behaviour (PEB) by adopting a systems thinking perspective. Using qualitative system dynamics, it develops a causal loop diagram for proenvironmental behaviour (CLD‐PEB) that conceptualizes PEB as a dynamic system generated through interacting ...

Driven by risk: Understanding reference‐dependent preferences using simulated auto racing

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Using data from over 56,000 simulated auto races worldwide, we analyze risk‐taking at the margins, consistent with reference‐dependent preferences. We show that participants' risk‐taking changes when a desired intermittent outcome is presented, sometimes at the expense of a more favorable expected end state.

Impact of heat exposure during immobilization‐induced de‐training and re‐training on aerobic capacity and haemoglobin mass

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this work was to assess the effect of heat exposure on cardiorespiratory and haematological responses during de‐training and re‐training. Nineteen men (33.8 ± 2.7 years; 182 ± 5.7 cm, 84.4 ± 9.3 kg) completed 4 weeks of pre‐training followed by heat exposure (HEAT; n = 9) or control (CON; n = 10).

Performance, cardioventilatory and perceptual responses to perceived opponent ability during head‐to‐head cycling competition

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We aimed to investigate whether cycling competition influences performance and pacing compared to an individual time trial. The second aim was to determine whether performance is further influenced by deceptive or accurate augmented feedback, delivered as an opponent riding at 2% higher power outputs than a previous competitive time trial ...

Model Predictive Control with Powertrain Delay Consideration for Longitudinal Speed Tracking of Autonomous Electric Vehicles

World Electric Vehicle Journal
Accurate longitudinal control is crucial in autonomous driving, but inherent delays and lag in electric vehicle powertrains hinder precise control. This paper presents a two-stage design for a longitudinal speed controller to enhance speed tracking ...

Quantitative MRI changes in neck muscle size and composition following long‐duration spaceflight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight poses several challenges to human health, including muscle loss and fat deposition. To mitigate these effects, exercise countermeasures are prescribed. This study aimed to measure neck muscle size and composition changes with long‐duration spaceflight using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and examine ...
