Wings Improving Driving Parameters

Study of design parameters of flapping-wings

As one of the most important components of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV), the design of an energy-efficient flapping-wing has been a research interest recently. Research on insect flight from different perspectives has been carried out, mainly with regard to wing morphology, flapping kinematics, and unsteady aerodynamics. However, the link between the wing morphology and kinematics ...

Rehabilitation for improving automobile driving after stroke.

BACKGROUND Interventions to improve driving ability after stroke, including driving simulation and retraining visual skills, have limited evaluation of their effectiveness to guide policy and practice. OBJECTIVES To determine whether any intervention, with the specific aim of maximising driving skills, improves the driving performance of people after stroke. SEARCH METHODS We searched the C...

Impact of Distracted Driving on Traffic Flow Parameters

Studies have documented a link between distracted driving and diminished safety; however, an association between distracted driving and traffic congestion has not been investigated in depth. The present study examined the behavior of teens and young adults operating a driving simulator while engaged in various distractions (i.e., cell phone, texting, and undistracted) and driving conditions (i....

Parameters Driving Effec- Tiveness of Automated Essay Scoring with Lsa

Automated essay scoring with latent semantic analysis (LSA) has recently been subject to increasing interest. Although previous authors have achieved grade ranges similar to those awarded by humans, it is still not clear which and how parameters improve or decrease the effectiveness of LSA. This paper presents an analysis of the effects of these parameters, such as text preprocessing, weighting...
