Active training and driving-specific feedback improve older drivers' visual search prior to lane changes

open access: yesBMC Geriatrics, 2012
Background Driving retraining classes may offer an opportunity to attenuate some effects of aging that may alter driving skills. Unfortunately, there is evidence that classroom programs (driving refresher courses) do not improve the driving performance ...

Are You Used To It Yet? Braking Performance and Adaptation in a Fixed-base Driving Simulator. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
During braking-to-stop manoeuvres in a fixed-base driving simulator, the paucity of visual and vestibular cues can lead to driver misperception and produce different patterns of braking response between real and simulated driving.

Surrogate in-vehicle information systems and driver behaviour: Effects of visual and cognitive load in simulated rural driving [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The underlying aim of HASTE, an EU FP5 project, is the development of a valid, cost-effective and reliable assessment protocol to evaluate the potential distraction of an in-vehicle information system on driving performance.

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Integration of a driving simulator and a traffic simulator case study: Exploring drivers' behavior in response to variable message signs

open access: yesIATSS Research, 2017
For the first time, a driving simulator has been integrated with a traffic simulator at the network level to allow subjects to drive in a fairly realistic environment with a realistic traffic flow and density. A 10 mi2 (25 km2) network was developed in a

Behavioural compensation by drivers of a simulator when using a vision enhancement system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Technological progress is suggesting dramatic changes to the tasks of the driver, with the general aim of making driving environment safer. Before any of these technologies are implemented, empirical research is required to establish if these devices do,

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Perception analysis of highway quality of service using a driving simulator and eye tracking system

open access: yesTransportes, 2020
In this study, we investigated drivers’ behavior in a highway considering their perception of the quality of service as a function of surrounding traffic conditions, using a driving simulator and an eye tracking system.

Smart driving assistance systems : designing and evaluating ecological and conventional displays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In-vehicle information systems have been shown to increase driver workload and cause distraction; both are causal factors for accidents. This simulator study evaluates the impact that two designs for a smart driving aid and scenario complexity has on ...
