Requirements for automated micro-vehicles from the German public: a survey study

European Transport Research Review
This study investigates public requirements for and acceptance of semi-sized automated micro-vehicles (AMVs) in urban traffic in Germany, addressing safety and functional expectations from both incidentally co-present persons and potential delivery ...

To Err Is Robot: How Humans Assess and Act toward an Erroneous Social Robot

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2017
We conducted a user study for which we purposefully programmed faulty behavior into a robot’s routine. It was our aim to explore if participants rate the faulty robot different from an error-free robot and which reactions people show in interaction with ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Worlds apart? Investigating acceptance and usage demands of carbon-based cosmetics and clothing across European countries

Energy, Sustainability and Society
Background Global warming and the increasing risk of natural disasters force us all to act. As the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions has been proven effective but insufficient on its own, Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technologies ...

Knowledge Encoding in Game Mechanics: Transfer-Oriented Knowledge Learning in Desktop-3D and VR

International Journal of Computer Games Technology, 2019
Affine Transformations (ATs) are a complex and abstract learning content. Encoding the AT knowledge in Game Mechanics (GMs) achieves a repetitive knowledge application and audiovisual demonstration.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Decoding Emotions From Brainwaves: The Impact of Wavelets and Overlap on EEG-Based Emotion Classification

Advances in Human-Computer Interaction
This study aimed to optimize emotion classification using electroencephalography (EEG) signals by evaluating the impact of window size, overlap, classification models, and wavelet transform selection.

Hands Up! Investigating Intrinsic Gestures of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities for Inclusive Automated Traffic

Virtual Worlds
As traffic automation grows, research into communication between automated vehicles (AVs) and pedestrians is increasing. Since communication is particularly challenging for persons with intellectual disability (PID), we investigated which gestures are ...

Enchanted by Your Surrounding? Measuring the Effects of Immersion and Design of Virtual Environments on Decision-Making

Frontiers in Virtual Reality, 2021
Impaired decision-making leads to the inability to distinguish between advantageous and disadvantageous choices. The impairment of a person’s decision-making is a common goal of gambling games.
